If there are any objects in the f ootwell,
remove them when the vehicle is
parked. NOTICE
The pedals must be freely operable at all
times. F
or example, a larger brake pedal trav-
el will be necessary in order to stop the vehi-
cle if a brake circuit fails. The brake pedal will
have to be depressed further and harder than
normal. Driving economically
Adopting the right driving style can re-
duce consumption, damage to the en

vi-
ronment, and wear and tear to the elec-
tric drive, brakes and tyres. The follow-
ing section lists a few tips for easing the
strain on the environment and your bank
account.
Think ahead when driving
The range will decrease if you do not adopt
a steady driving style. Keeping a close eye on
the traffic can help to avoid frequent acceler-
ation and braking. Keeping your vehicle at
a sufficient distance from the vehicle in front
can help you to think ahead when driving.
Use energy recovery (recuperation)
The vehicle will “coast” if the Eco assistance
function is deactivated and position D is se-
lected and the accelerator is not pressed.
The vehicle will perform brake energy recu-
peration automatically if the Eco assistance
function is activated and position D is selec-
ted and the accelerator is not pressed. It will
adapt itself to the driving situation and exter-
nal conditions such as vehicles in front and
speed limits. The energy of the rolling vehicle
is used to charge the high-voltage battery

x
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.

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:

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

Tyre monitoring system Introduction to the topic
The tyre monitoring system warns the
driv
er when the tyre pressures are too
low.
The following tyre monitoring systems are
available for this vehicle:

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

If all wheels have the same tyre and rim sizes,
it is recommended to regularly rotate the
wheels in accordance with the diagram

Volkswagen recommends replacing tyres that
are more than six years old with new tyres.
This also applies to tyres which appear to still
be in good condition and whose tread depth
has not yet reached the minimum v
