Oncoming vehicle braking
when turning
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 159. The oncoming vehicle braking when
turning function can pre
vent the vehicle
from colliding with an oncoming vehicle
during a turn.
If there is a risk of the vehicle colliding with
an oncoming vehicle in the adjacent lane
when turning, the oncoming vehicle braking
when turning function can brake your vehicle.
The vehicle can then remain in its own lane
as a result.
Speed range
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function is available up to around 15 km/h
(around 9 mph).
Limits
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function is available only if you indicate, have
turned the steering wheel and have therefore
started the turning manoeuvre. After chang-
ing from right-hand traffic to left-hand traf-
fic or vice versa, the oncoming vehicle brak-
ing when turning function is available only
after a certain time (30 minutes or more).
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning
function does not react to persons, animals,
crossing vehicles or objects that are not de-
tected as a vehicle. Always also observe the
fundamental limits of Front Assist

If you driv e to close to the vehicle in
front, brake support systems cannot
prevent an accident.
x Always use suitable tyres. Driving stabili-
ty depends on the tyre grip.
x Always keep the footwell under the ped-
als clear so that the brake pedal can
move freely.

WARNING
Driving without the brake servo or with re-
stricted brake serv o function can consider-
ably increase the braking distance and
cause accidents and serious injuries.
x Never deactivate the electric drive or
switch off the ignition as long as the ve-
hicle is still moving.
x If the brake servo does not function or
the vehicle is being towed, the brake
pedal will have to be depressed more
forcefully as the braking distance will be
increased due to the lack of assistance
for the brake system. Switching ESC Sport on and

Noises may be heard when the brake support

together with the ABS indicator lamp the control function of the ABS may
ha

ve failed. This can cause the rear
wheels to lock relatively quickly when
you brake. Locked rear wheels can lead
to a loss of control of the vehicle. If pos-
sible, reduce your speed and drive care-
fully at low speed to the nearest quali-
fied workshop in order to have the brake
system tested. Avoid sudden braking and
driving manoeuvres on the way.
x If the ABS indicator lamp does not go
out or comes on while the v
ehicle is in
motion, the ABS is not working properly.
The vehicle can be stopped using the
normal brakes only (without the anti-
lock brake system). The protection pro-
vided by the anti-lock brake system is no longer available. Go to a qualified work-
shop as soon as possible.

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

x
The refilled brake fluid must be new. NOTICE
Brake fluid that has leaked or been spilt can
damage the v ehicle paintwork, plastic parts
and tyres. Wipe off brake fluid that has
leaked or been spilled immediately from all
parts of the vehicle. Brake fluid can pollute the environ-
ment. Any spilt service fluids must be
cleaned up and disposed of properly. 12-volt vehicle battery
Introduction to the topic
The 12-
volt vehicle battery is a component of
the electrical system and in event of the
high-voltage system failing, supplies the
safety-relevant systems of the vehicle with
energy. In the scope of maintenance work,
the 12-volt vehicle battery is checked and
where required, replaced.
You should only carry out work on the electri-
cal system if you know exactly how to per-
form the required tasks, are aware of the
general safety procedures and have access to
the correct equipment, service fluids and
suitable tools. Failing to carry out work cor-
rectly can cause serious injuries
