Fig. 90 Sensitive surface of the rain sensor
Changes to the functioning of the rain
sensor
Possible causes for faults and misinterpretations
concerning the sensitive surface~ Fig. 90 of the
rain sensor include:
• Damaged wiper blades: a film of water or
smears caused by damaged wiper blades
can in­
crease the length of time for which the wipers are
switched on, shorten the length of the intervals be­
tween wipes, or cause the wipers to run continu­
ously.
• Insects: insects hitting the surface can cause
the wipers to be activated.
• Salt deposits : in winter, salt deposits can cause
the wiper to continue to wipe the windscreen when
it is almost dry.
• Soiling : dry dust, wax, windscreen coatings (lo·
tus effect) or detergent deposits (automatic car
wash) can cause the rain sensor to become less
sensitive and react too slowly or even not at all.
• Crack
in the windscreen : when the windscree~
is impacted by a stone, a wash cycle is triggered If ....

will not be switched off automatically wh en the

The electronic parking brake will be activated auto4
matically and the adap tive cruise control will be

while the vehicle is stationary:
• The safety be lt is unfastened .
• The driver's door is opened.

Driving off after a stationary phase (only
vehicles with automatic gearbox)
After a stationary phase, the adaptive cruise con­
trol can start the vehicle moving automatically as
soon as the vehicle in front begins to move again.
Overtaking
If the turn signal is activated when starting an over­
taking manoeuvre , the adaptive cruise control ac­
celerates the vehicle automatically and thus re­
duces the distance to the vehicle in front.
If you move your vehicle into the overtaking lane
and there is no vehicle ahead of you , the ACC will
automatically increase the speed to your set level
and maintain it.
Acceleration can be stopped at any point
by de­
Pressing the brake pedal or pressing the @ button

about 10 m in front of the vehicle with in a speed
ra ge of abo ut 5 km/h (3 mph) to 30 km /h

A WARNING
The intelligent technology of the city emer­
gency brake function cannot change the laws
of physics. The driver is always responsible
for braking in time.
• Adapt your speed and distance from the

Prevent accidents and serious injuries by it­self '---" ----------------------------~
A WARNING (Continued)
• The city emergency brake function can
carry out unwanted brake interventions in
certain complex driving situations, e.g. at
traffic islands, building sites and metal
tracks.
• Front Assist can issue unnecessary warn­
ings and carry out unwanted braking inter­
ventions when its function is impaired, e .g . if
the position of the radar sensor has been
changed.
• While the vehicle is in motion, Front As­
sist does not react to persons, animals and
vehicles crossing or approaching in the same
lane.
m The brake pedal travel decreases when the
~ city emergency brake function is triggered .
This
may make the brake pedal feel stiffer.
m Automatic brake intervention by the city
~ emergency brake fun ction can be stopped by
using the clutch , the accelerator or steering inter­
vent ion.
m The city emergency brake function can brake
~ the vehicle to a standstill. The vehicle will not
be held permanently by the braking system. De­
press the brake.
m Switch off Front Assist and the city emergen­
~ cy brake functio n in the event of multiple un­
wanted interventions . Proceed to a qualified work­
shop . Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswa-

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.
