The area in fron t of and around the radar sensor
must not be covered by objects such as stickers or
auxiliary headlights, as this can impair the function
of Front Assist.
Any structural modifications to the vehicle, e .g .
l
owering the vehicle or making alterations to the
front end tri m , can impair the function of Front As­
sist. Structural mod1fictions should therefore only
be carried out by a qualifie d workshop. Volkswa­
gen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership
for th is purpose.
Incorrectly performed repa irs to the fron t end of the
vehic le can alter the position of the radar sensor
and therefore tmpai r the functi on of Front Assist.
Repair work should therefore only be carrie d out
y a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends
u sm g a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
CD
Switch off Front Assist if you suspect that the
radar sensor has been damaged or its positio n
has been altered. This can help to prevent fur­
ther damage. Have the radar sensor realigned.
• The radar sensor could be moved if it is hit
for example in parking manoeuvres. Readjust-'
ing the sensor could impair the performance of
t h e system or cause it to be switched off.
• Repair work on the radar sensor w ill require
special knowledge and tools. Volkswagen rec­
ommends using a Volkswagen dealership for
this purpose.
• Remove snow with a brush, and remove ice
preferably with a solvent-free de-leer spray. ~rating the area monitoring system (Front Assist)

A WARNING ~~-~ ,c_. ""]
Incor rec t handling of the wheels and tyres
can lead to a sudden loss of pressure in the
tyres , trea d separation and even tyre blow­out.
• Check tyre pressures regularly and always
keep to the specified tyre pressure value. If
the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre could
warm up to such an extent that the tread may
separate and the tyre could burst
~e monitor indicator lamp
• Always maintain correct cold tyre inflation
pressure as listed on the tyre pressure label
=>page 308 .
• Check tyre inflation pressure regularly
when the tyres are cold. Adjust tyre pressure
in the cold tyre to the recommended tyre
pressure for the tyres installed on your vehi­
cle as necessary.
• Check your tyres regularly for signs of
w ea r or damage.
• Never exceed the top speed and load per­
mitted for the fitted tyres.
CQ"' Und er-in nated tyres w111 increase fuel con­
(Jtf sumption and tyre wear.
m When new tyres are dnven at high speeds for
W the firs t time, they can expand slightly and
trigger a one-off pressure

Calibrating
the tyre monitor display
The tyre monitor display will have to be re-ca libra­ted after changing the tyre pressure . or after
c h anging one or more wheels. Th is also applies when wheels are swapped, e.g . from the front to the rear.

• Switch on the ignition .
• Open the Tyre monitor display menu op­tion in the infotai nment system display ~page 31.
• Touch the @ID function button .
• If all 4 wheels are se t to the correct va lues,
t o uc h the (Co nfirm ) function button to store the tyre
p ressu re s.
• To uc hing the (cancel) button w ill prevent the cu r­
rent tyre pressures from being stored and the sys­tem will n ot be cali brated .
During normal ve hi cle operation , the
system cali­
br ates itse lf independently to the the fitted tyres
and the tyre pressures filled by the
driver. The cali­
brated values are accepted and monitored after a
l ong journey at vari ous speeds .
If the wheels are loaded more heavily than normal,
e .g . if the veh icle is ca rrying hea vy payload, the
tyre press ure must be rais ed to the r
ecommended full-load tyre pressure before calibration =>page 308.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine oil specification
r-T'n First read and observe the introductory
L-WJ information and safety warnings~ on
page 281.
The engine oil used must correspond exactly to
specifications .
The correct engine oil is important for the function
and service l
ife of the engine . A special high quali­
ty multigrade oil has been filled at the factory and
th is can
normally be used as an all-season oil.
If possible , only use Volkswagen-approved engine
o il
~CD. To comply with the requirements of the
flexible service, only use approved flexible service
engine oil that
complies with the corresponding
VW standard (~table on page 282). The engine
o ils listed are
multigrade high-lubricity oils.
Engine oils are constantly being developed and
im­
proved . A Volkswagen dealership is always kept
up to date on innovations . Volkswagen therefore
recommends having engine oil changes done by a
Volkswagen dealership. The
qu
ality of the engine oil is not only ta ilor ed to
the requirements of engines and exhaust gas treat.
ment systems, but also to fuel quality . Due to the
way
in which a combustion engine works, engine
oil always comes into contact with combustion
resl­
dues and fuel, which has a kno ck-o n effect on the
ageing process of the oil.
The quality of fuels can var y gr ea tly between lndl·
vidual markets and this must be take n Into account
when selecting the correct engine oil.
The use of engine oils compliant with the
VW
504 00 und VW 507 00 specific ations requires
a fuel quality compliant with EN 228 (petrol) and
EN 590 (diesel). Engine oils compliant with
VW
504 00 und VW 507 00 are therefore unsult·
able for use in a large number of markets.
