large the field of vision and can make
objects in the mirror seem smaller and
further away than they actually are.
x Using curved mirrors to estimate the
distance from other vehicles behind you

WARNING
Poor visibility through the door windows,
windscreen and rear window increases the
risk of collisions and accidents which can
cause serious injuries.
x Keep all door windows, the windscreen
and the rear window free from ice, snow
and condensation to maintain perf
ect
visibility.
x Adjust the heating, air conditioning and
rear window heating to prevent conden-
sation from forming on the windows.
x Only set off once all windows are clear.
x Use air recirculation mode for a short
period only. Condensation could other-
wise form very quickly on the windows,
greatly reducing visibility.
x Switch off the air recirculation mode
when it is no longer required. NOTICE

sitiv
e to heat or cold could be either dam-
aged or rendered useless by the air flowing

x You must driv
e particularly carefully
when driving with new brake pads in or-
der to reduce the risk of accidents, seri-
ous injuries and loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
x Never drive too close to other vehicles
when running in new brake pads, and
never create a driving situation that will
place a heavy load on the brakes. Regularly perform a visual check of the
thickness of the front brake pads
through the openings in the rims or from the
underside of the v

ehicle. If necessary, remove
the wheels to carry out a comprehensive
check. Volkswagen recommends using
a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose. When the front brake pads are
checked, the brake pads in the drum
brakes on the rear axle should also be
checked at the same time. This check is per-
f

ormed though an inspection hole on the rear
of the drum. A sealing plug must be removed
for this purpose. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this pur-
pose. Driving a loaded vehicle
