Driving through water on roads
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →Introduction 
Please follow these rules to help prevent damage to your vehicle when driving through water, for example if the road is flooded:
Check the depth of the water before driving through it. The water level must be no higher than the lower edge of the vehicle body  → .
Do not drive faster than walking speed.
Never stop the vehicle, reverse or switch off the engine while in water.
Oncoming vehicles create waves that could increase the water level for your vehicle to such an extent that it is not safe to drive through the
water.
When driving through water, always switch start/stop system off manually  → Pull-away assist systems   .
 Introduction

Volkswagen is not responsible for any vehicle damage caused by low-quality fuel, inadequate servicing work or lack of Genuine Parts.
NOTICE
After driving through water, mud, slush etc., the brakes may react slowly and the braking distance will be increased as the brake discs and pads
will be wet, or possibly iced up in winter.
You can dry and de-ice the brakes by performing careful braking manoeuvres. Make sure that you do not endanger any other road users or
violate any legal regulations when doing so.
Avoid abrupt and sudden braking manoeuvres directly after driving through water.
WARNING
If you drive through water, parts of the vehicle, such as the engine, drive train, running gear and vehicle electrics, could sustain severe
damage.
Never drive through salt water as salt can cause corrosion. Rinse all components that have been exposed to salt water immediately with
fresh water.
