display VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2017 Owner's Manual

Wet brakes (for example, after driving through water or washing the vehicle or after heavy rainfall) will not brake as well. Stopping distances will be longer when brake discs are wet or, in winter, even icy. Wet or icy brakes must be dried as soon as possible by carefully applying the brakes a couple of times while traveling at a relatively high speed. Make sure nobody is behind you and that you do not endan-
ger yourself or others ⇒ .
Brakes coated with road salt also react slower and need longer stopping distances. If there is salt on the roads and you are not braking regularly, brake carefully and gently from time to time to remove any
salt coating from the brake discs and pads ⇒ .
Brake disc corrosion (rust) and dirt buildup on the brake pads are more likely to occur if the vehicle is not driven much or is driven only for short distances with little braking. If the brakes have not been used and there is some rust on the discs, clean the brake discs and pads once in a while by carefully braking a couple of times while driving at relatively high speed to help clean the brake discs and pads.
Make sure nobody is behind you and that you do not endanger yourself or others ⇒ .
Brake system malfunction
If you brake and find that the vehicle doesn't brake nearly as well as it used to (sudden increase in stopping distance), a brake circuit may have failed. The brake warning light H or "2!+% will light up and a message may appear in the instrument cluster display. If you believe the vehicle is safe to drive, immediately take it to the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for repair. Drive slowly and very carefully, allow for the longer stopping distance, and be ready to push longer and harder on the brake pedal to slow the vehicle down.
Brake booster
The brake booster works only when the engine is running. It increases the force on the brakes above and beyond the pressure put on the brake pedal by the driver.
If the brake booster is not working, or if the vehicle has to be towed, you will have to push the brake pedal harder to make up for the lack of booster assistance and the resulting longer stopping distance
⇒ .
WARNING
New brake pads do not provide maximum braking performance.
x New brake pads do not have the best stopping power for the first 185 miles (300 km) and must be “broken in.” You can compensate for the slightly reduced braking force by putting more pressure on the brake pedal.
x Drive with extra care while the new brake pads are being broken in. This reduces the risk of collisions and serious personal injuries due to a loss of control over the vehicle.
x Never follow other vehicles too closely or put yourself into other situations that might require sudden, hard braking, especially when the brake pads have not been broken in.
WARNING
Overheated brakes will reduce the vehicle's stopping power and increase stopping distances considerably.
x When driving downhill, the brakes have to work especially hard and heat up quickly.
x Before driving downhill, especially on hills that are long or steep, always reduce speed and shift into lower gear (manual or automatic transmission). This will let the vehicle use engine braking and reduce the load on the brakes. Otherwise, the brake system could over-heat and possibly fail. Only use the brakes when you need them to slow the vehicle down more or to stop.
x A damaged front bumper or a non-standard spoiler can reduce airflow to the brakes and make them overheat.

Display
Different cruise control versions are available. The stored speed is shown in the instrument cluster display on some equipment versions.
Status fig. 137
(A) Cruise control temporarily deactivated. Stored speed displayed in small numbers.
(B) System malfunction. See an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
(C) Cruise control activated. No speed stored in memory.
(D) Cruise control is active. Stored speed displayed in large numbers.
Indicator lights

Lights up Possible cause
% Cruise control is regulating the vehicle speed. #25)3%

When the ignition is switched on, several warning and indicator lights come on briefly for a function check. They go out after a few seconds.
WARNING
Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and serious personal injury.
x Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
x Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in vehicle damage.

x Wet the camera lens with a commercially available alcohol-based glass cleaner and clean with a
dry cloth ⇒ .
x Remove snow with a brush.
x Remove ice with deicer spray ⇒ .
NOTICE
x Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the camera lens.
x Never remove snow or ice on the camera lens with warm or hot water. This can damage the camera lens.
Operation

Function Action with the ignition on
Switch off the display manually:
Press a function selection button on the radio or the navi-
gation system ⇒ Booklet Radio or ⇒ Booklet Navigation
system.
OR: Tap the O function button on the screen.
Show the display again: Shift out of Reverse (R), then shift back into Reverse (R).

Parking

Fig. 141 On the screen: Static orientation lines for the parking space behind the vehicle.

Parking using the Rear View Camera system

Step Action:
1. The requirements for parking and maneuvering with the Rear View Camera system
must be fulfilled ⇒ page 255.
2. Position the vehicle in front of the parking space (2) ⇒ fig. 141 A.
3. Shift into Reverse (R).
4. Reverse slowly and steer the vehicle B so that the lateral yellow orientation lines lead into the parking space (2).
Pay attention to the message in the display: Always make sure it is safe to
back up! ⇒  on page 254
5. Align the vehicle in the parking space B so that the yellow orientation lines are parallel with the parking space (3).
6. Stop the vehicle C before (or at the very latest, when) the horizontal yellow line reaches the rear boundary, for example, a curb (4).

NOTICE
Smaller objects up to about 20 inches (50 cm) from the rear of the vehicle will not be detected by the camera and could result in vehicle damage.

The Blind Spot Monitor only works at speeds above about 9 mph (15 km/h). The green indicator light 9 in the instrument cluster display switches on automatically when the system is active. The system and indicator light switch off automatically when the vehicle speed drops below about 6 mph (10 km/h).
Physical and system limitations
In certain situations, the Blind Spot Monitor may not interpret the traffic situation correctly. These situations may include:
x When driving in tight curves.
x When the width of the lanes differs.
x When there is a rise in the road surface.
x When there are poor weather conditions.
x When certain types of equipment are on the side of the road, such as high or offset guard rails.
Rear Traffic Alert

WARNING
The Forward Collision Warning system technology cannot overcome the laws of physics and system-related limits. The driver is always responsible for braking in time. If the Forward Collision Warning system issues a warning, immediately apply the brake to slow the vehicle down or avoid the obstacle, depending on the traffic situation.
x Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility condi-tions.
x The Forward Collision Warning system cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.
x The Forward Collision Warning system can issue unnecessary warnings in certain com-plex driving situations, for example, at traffic islands.
x The Forward Collision Warning system can issue unnecessary warnings when its function is impaired, for example, if the radar sensor is dirty or if the position of the radar sensor has been changed.
x The Forward Collision Warning system does not react to people, animals, or vehicles crossing or approaching in the same lane.
x Always be prepared to take full control of the vehicle at all times.
Deactivate the Forward Collision Warning system if it does not work as described in this chapter, for example, if multiple unwanted warnings occur. Have the system checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
