Selecting on the map
The navigation map contains active areas at
many locations which are suitable for desti-
nation input. To enter a destination, touch
the desired position or location on the map.
You can start route guidance if map data is
available at this location.
Destination input via the navigation map de-
pends on the data status and is not possible
for all positions.
Use the “offroad navigation” function to en-
ter a destination point with unknown data.
Offroad navigation
The “offroad navigation” function calculates
routes to selected destination points with
unknown data. If a destination point is not on
known roads or there is no positioning data
available for this point, the navigation system
will calculate the route up to the nearest
point on the known roads and then complete
the route up to the destination point by a di-
rect connection.
To start “offroad navigation”, touch a free
area without positioning data.

NOTICE
Incorrect use can damage the second lug-
gage compartment floor or the trim of the
luggage compartment.
x Always guide the second luggage com-
partment floor down carefully when clos-
ing and do not allow to drop.
x Always distribute loads (
maximum 50 kg)
over as wide an area as possible on the
luggage compartment floor in order to
avoid point loads. Partition

artition installed behind the rear
bench seat
The fitted partition can help to prevent ob-
jects from being flung from the luggage
compartment into the passenger compart-
ment, e.g. when braking.
The partition can be optionally installed be-
hind the rear bench seat

WARNING
Elastic tensioning straps must be stretched
to attach to the fastening rings. The hooks
attached to them can cause serious injuries.
x Always protect eyes and face from injury
when attaching elastic tensioning straps.
x Always hold elastic tensioning straps se-
curely when fastening so that they can-
not slip off and rebound.
x Always fasten the elastic tensioning
straps first to the fastening rings in the
front area of the luggage compartment,
then pull them towards the loading sill
and fasten them to the fastening rings
there. If the tension straps slip off
, they
will snap away from the body. Suitable lashing, retaining or securing
straps and luggage securing systems
are a

vailable from qualified workshops.
Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen
dealership for this purpose. Luggage net

Changing the wiper blade f or the rear
window.
The factory-fitted windscreen wiper blades
are coated with graphite. The graphite coat-
ing ensures that the wiper blade moves qui-
etly over the window. If the graphite coating
is damaged, the wiper will become louder.
Check the condition of the wiper blades on
a regular basis. Rubbing wiper blades should
be changed if damaged or cleaned if dirty

x
If the power supply of the towed v ehicle
fails, stop towing immediately and seek
expert assistance. NOTICE
Towing with a tow-rope or tow-bar can dam-
age the v
ehicle.
x Tow the vehicle carefully with a tow-rope
or tow-bar.
x If possible, have the broken-down vehicle
transported by a breakdown truck. NOTICE
When pushing the vehicle by hand, the tail
light clusters, side spoilers on the rear win-
dow and large panels can be damaged and
the rear spoiler may become detached.
x When pushing the v

ehicle by hand, do not
press on the tail light clusters, side spoilers
on the rear window, large panels and the
rear spoiler. NOTICE
The vehicle can be damaged, e.g. the vehicle
paintwork, when remo
ving and fitting the
cover and towing eye.
x Remove and install the cover and the tow-
ing eye carefully so as to avoid damage to
the vehicle. NOTICE
Use of a towing eye that is not suitable for
the v
ehicle can damage the vehicle.
x Always use the towing eye supplied in the
vehicle toolkit of your vehicle or a towing
eye that is suitable for the vehicle for tow-
ing. Notes on towing
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 304.
It is still possible to activ

ate the turn signals
in a vehicle that is being towed, even if the
hazard warning lights are switched on. To do
this, operate the turn signal and main beam
lever in the required direction while the igni-
tion is switched on. The hazard warning lights
will not flash while the turn signal is being
used. The hazard warning lights will start
flashing again automatically as soon as the
turn signal and main beam lever is moved
back to the neutral position.
In which situations may the vehicle not be
towed?
In the following situations, the vehicle may
not be towed for a long distance on its own
tyres:

Brake fluid specification
V
olkswagen has developed a brake fluid that
has been optimised for the brake system in
the vehicle. To ensure the best possible oper-
ation of the brake system, Volkswagen ex-
pressly recommends the use of brake fluid
compliant with VW standard 501 14.
Before using a particular brake fluid, check
that the specifications printed on the con-
tainer correspond to the vehicle require-
ments.
Brake fluid that is compliant with VW stand-
ard 501 14 is available from Volkswagen
dealerships.
If this brake fluid is not available and it is
necessary to use another high-quality brake
fluid instead, brake fluid that is compliant
with DIN ISO 4925 or US standard
FMVSS 116 DOT 4 CLASS 6 can be used.
Not all brake fluids that are compliant with
DIN ISO 4925 or US standard FMVSS 116
DOT 4 CLASS 6 have the same chemical com-
position. Some of these brake fluids may con-
tain chemicals that can damage or destroy
brake system components over time.
Volkswagen therefore recommends the use
of brake fluid that is compliant with
VW standard 501 14 to ensure sustained op-
timal operation of the brake system.
Brake fluid that is compliant with VW stand-
ard 501 14 fulfils the requirements of
DIN ISO 4925 or US standard
FMVSS 116 DOT 4 CLASS 6.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level must always be between
the MIN and MAX markings on the brake fluid
reservoir

Replacing the 12-volt vehicle battery
The 12-
volt vehicle battery has been devel-
oped to suit the conditions of its installation
location and has special safety features. If
a 12-volt vehicle battery has to be replaced,
discuss the electromagnetic compatibility,
size and necessary servicing, output and safe-
ty requirements for the new 12-volt vehicle
battery with a Volkswagen dealership before
purchase. The ventilation opening of the 12-
volt vehicle battery must always be on the
negative terminal side: the ventilation open-
ing on the positive terminal side must always
be sealed.
Only maintenance-free 12-volt vehicle bat-
teries compliant with the standards
TL 825 06 and VW 7 50 73 should be used.
These standards must be dated October 2014
or later.
Always have the 12-volt vehicle battery re-
placed by a qualified workshop, as the vehicle
electronics must be adapted as part of the
replacement process. Only qualified work-
shops have the technology required to carry
out this adjustment correctly. Volkswagen
recommends that the 12-volt vehicle battery
is replaced by a Volkswagen dealership.
Disconnecting the 12-volt vehicle battery
Please observe the following if the 12-volt
vehicle battery has to be disconnected from
the electrical system in the vehicle:

come loose, leading to a loss of control of
the v
ehicle, causing accidents and serious
injuries.
x Never drive if wheel bolts are missing or
loose.
x Always use wheel bolts that match the
wheel rims and the vehicle type.
x Always tighten the wheel bolts with the
correct tightening torque. If you do not
have a torque wrench, tighten the wheel
bolts with the wheel bolt wrench and
have the torque checked without delay
by the nearest qualified workshop. Handling wheels and tyres
