Adjust the steering wheel so that you can hold it with both hands at its circumference at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions with your arms slightly bent Fig. 68
Push the lever up firmly until it is flush with the steering column trim

WARNING
Incorrect use of the steering column position adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the steering
wheel can cause serious or fatal injuries.
After adjusting the steering column, always move lever Fig.
0up so that it engages securely.
This prevents the steering column from moving spontaneously while the vehicle is in motion.
Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is in motion. If you determine that a readjustment
is necessary when driving, stop the vehicle safely and adjust the steering wheel to the correct
position.
The steering wheel must always point towards the chest and not towards the face. This ensures that
the driver front airbag provides maximum protection in the event of an accident.
While driving, always keep both hands on the outside of the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock and 3
o'clock positionsFig. 68
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, or in any other manner, e.g. at the hub of
the steering wheel. If the driver front airbag is triggered, you could sustain serious injuries to the
arms, hands and head.
Seats and head restraints
Front seats
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:

Mechanically adjusting the front seat
Folding the front passenger seat backrest forwards
The following section describes the options for adjusting the front seats. Always ensure that you
adjust the correct sitting position Sitting position

WARNING
Always adjust the front seats to their correct position before any journey and ensure that all
passengers have fastened their seat belts.
Push the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
Adjust the driver seat so that there is at least 25 cm between your breastbone and the hub of the
steering wheel. Adjust the driver seat by moving it forwards or backwards so that you are able to
press the pedals to the floor with your knees still slightly angled and the distance to the dash panel
in the knee area is at least 10 cm. If your build makes it impossible to fulfil this requirement, you
must contact a qualified workshop so they can make any necessary modifications.
Never travel with the backrest tilted far back. The further back the backrest is tilted, the greater the
risk of injury caused by incorrect seat belt routing or an incorrect sitting position.
Never travel with the backrest tilted far forwards. When a front airbag is triggered, it could force the
seat backrest backwards and injure vehicle occupants on the rear seats.
Adopt and maintain the greatest possible distance from the steering wheel and dash panel.
You should always sit upright with your back against the seat backrest with the front seats properly
adjusted. Do not position any body part too close to where the airbags are fitted.
The risk of serious injury is increased for passengers on the rear seat if they are not sitting upright
because the seat belts are incorrectly positioned.

WARNING
Incorrect adjustment of the seats can cause accidents and serious injuries.
The seats must be adjusted only when the vehicle is stationary, or else the seat could change
position unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion, leading to a loss of control of the vehicle.
Furthermore, an incorrect seating position is adopted while adjusting the seat.
Adjust the height and tilt of the seat or move it forwards and backwards only when the area around
the seat is clear.
The adjustment range of the seats must not be restricted by any items.
Adjust the tilt angle of the rear seats or move them forwards and backwards only when the area
around the seats is clear.
The adjustment and locking areas of the seats must not be soiled.

Fold back the front passenger seat backrest so that it is upright.
When it is folded up, the front passenger seat backrest must engage securely into place.

WARNING
Serious injuries could be caused if the front passenger seat backrest is folded forwards and
backwards in an uncontrolled way and without taking due care.
Fold the front passenger seat backrest forwards and backwards only when the vehicle is stationary.
When folding the front passenger seat backrest forwards, always make sure that there are no
people, animals or objects in its path.
The front airbag must be switched off and the PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamp must be
lit for as long as the front passenger seat backrest is folded forwards.
When folding forwards and backwards, keep all hands, fingers, feet and other body parts away from
the seat hinges and seat release mechanism.
Floor mats or other objects could get caught in the hinges on the front passenger seat backrest. This
could cause the front passenger seat backrest to fail to engage securely when it is returned to the
upright position.
When being folded back, the front passenger seat backrest must be securely locked in the upright
position. If the front passenger seat backrest is not locked properly, it could move suddenly and
cause serious injuries.

WARNING
The open seat anchorages and hinges of the folded front passenger seat backrest can cause serious
injuries in the event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or accident.
Never transport either adults or children on the front passenger seat if the front passenger seat
backrest is folded forwards.
If the front passenger seat backrest is folded forwards, you must use only the rear seat behind the
driver seat. This also applies to children in child seats.
Rear seats

Automatic switch-off of side lights and parking lights
If the battery capacity is not sufficient for the side lights or parking light to remain switched on for
two hours, the 12-volt vehicle battery can be discharged to such an extent that it is no longer
possible to start the engine
In the case of standing times of more than two hours, the vehicle will detect a weak 12-volt vehicle
battery and switch off the side lights or parking light so that the engine can still be started.

WARNING
Accidents and serious injuries can occur if the vehicle is parked without sufficient illumination, as
other road users might have difficulty seeing the vehicle, or may not see it at all.
Always park the vehicle safely and with sufficient lighting. Observe any applicable local regulations.
If the vehicle lighting is required for several hours, switch on the right or left parking light if possible.
The illumination time of the parking light on one side is generally twice as long as for continuous
parking light on both sides of the vehicle.

Headlights
Headlight range control

Fig. 82 In the Infotainment system: slider for headlight range control.
Headlight range control can be used to adjust the light cone of the dipped beam headlights to the
vehicle load level. This gives the driver the best visibility possible and means that oncoming traffic
will not be dazzled

If you have to drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, the
asymmetric dipped beam headlights may dazzle oncoming traffic. The headlights must therefore be
switched over when you travel to these countries.
With some equipment levels, the headlight alignment can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays
In vehicles in which the headlights cannot be switched over in the menu, masking stickers should be
applied to certain parts of the headlight lenses, or the headlights should be adjusted by a qualified
workshop. A qualified workshop can provide you with further information. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

Travel mode may be used only for a short period. Please contact a qualified workshop for a
permanent conversion. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Interior lighting
Instrument and switch lighting
The brightness of the instrument and switch lighting can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays
The brightness setting is automatically adjusted to the changing light conditions in the vehicle.
When the light switch is in position , a sensor will switch the dipped beam and the lighting in
the instruments and switches on and off automatically depending on the ambient brightness level.

When the light is switched off and the ignition switched on, the instrument and switch lighting
(needles and scales) is switched on. As the ambient light becomes lower, the illumination of the
scales is automatically reduced and may be switched off entirely. This function is intended to remind
the driver to switch on the dipped beam in good time, i.e. when driving through tunnels.
Interior and reading lights
Press the appropriate button or move the switch to the appropriate position:
Switch off the interior light.Switch on the interior lights.The interior lights are switched on
automatically when the vehicle is unlocked, a door is opened or the vehicle key is removed from the
ignition.Switch the reading light on or off.
Stowage compartment and luggage compartment lights
A light will be switched on and off when the stowage compartment on the front passenger side or
the boot lid is opened or closed.
Background lighting

pending on the equipment level, the background lighting provides indirect light in various areas of
the vehicle interior.
The front footwell may also be illuminated.
The brightness of the background lighting can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle
settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays

The lights go out when the vehicle is locked or after a delay of a few minutes when the vehicle key is
removed from the ignition lock. This prevents the 12-volt vehicle battery from discharging.

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change automatically when the user account changes Personalisation
