the driver and can keep the vehicle in lane
automatically, or brake the vehicle to a standstill if required. The system can therefore actively help
to prevent an accident.
Emergency Assist is an extension of the lane keeping system (Lane Assist), and combines these
functions with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Please therefore read both these chapters and
observe the information about the system limits and warnings.
Description
If there is no driver activity, Emergency Assist prompts the driver to take control of the vehicle again
by visual and acoustic warnings and by braking jolts.
If the driver remains inactive, the system automatically controls the accelerator, brake and steering
to slow the vehicle down and keep it in lane t stopping distance, the system
decelerates the vehicle to a complete stop and switches on the electronic parking brake
automatically Operating the electronic parking brake
When Emergency Assist is actively controlling the vehicle, the hazard warning lights are switched on
and the vehicle performs slight snaking movements within its lane to warn other road users.
The hazard warning lights can be deactivated by pressing the accelerator or brake, by making a
steering intervention or, depending on the situation, by pressing the button for the hazard warning
lights.
When Emergency Assist has been triggered, the system is not available again until the ignition has
been switched off and then back on.
Prerequisites
The lane keeping system and ACC are switched on.
The selector lever is in position D/S or in the Tiptronic gate.
The system has detected a lane marking on both the right and left sides of the vehicle Fig. 123
Switching Emergency Assist on and off
Emergency Assist is activated automatically when the lane keeping system Driving with the lane
keeping systemis switched on.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in Emergency Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time.
Emergency Assist cannot always prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.

the Blind Spot Monitor can cause accidents and serious injuries. The system is not a substitute for
the full concentration of the driver.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time.
Pay attention to the indicator lamps in the exterior mirrors and in the instrument cluster display and
respond according to the commands.
Always pay close attention to the surroundings of the vehicle.
Never use the Blind Spot Monitor if the radar sensors are dirty, covered or damaged. These
conditions can impair the proper functioning of the system.
It may be hard to see the indicator lamp in the exterior mirror in direct sunlight.

Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and can therefore
change automatically when the user account is changed Personalisation
Driving with the Blind Spot Monitor

When the Blind Spot Monitor is ready for operation, the yellow indicator lamp lights up once
briefly in the exterior mirrors.
This most recent system setting is retained even after the ignition has been switched off and on.

When switched on, the Blind Spot Monitor is active from a speed of approx. 15 km/h (9 mph).
In the following driving situations, the yellow indicator lamp will light up in the corresponding
exterior mirror: Fig. 124
If your vehicle is being overtaken.
When overtaking another vehicle with a speed difference of up to approximately 10 km/h (6 mph).
No display will be shown if the takeover manoeuvre is much faster.
If a vehicle is detected in the blind spot and the turn signal is additionally activated in the direction
of the detected vehicle
In vehicles with the lane keeping system, the yellow indicator lamp will flash even if you do not
activate the turn signal when leaving your lane, provided that the lane keeping system is switched on
(Blind Spot Monitor Plus). The driver is warned by a corrective steering intervention when changing
lanes during a possible critical situation (information level, warning level). This also occurs when the
turn signal is activated for the corresponding direction. If the steering intervention is overridden by
the driver, the steering wheel vibrates to give an additional warning.
The quicker another vehicle approaches, the earlier there is a corresponding display in the exterior
mirror.
Automatic deactivation
The radar sensors for the Blind Spot Monitor will switch off automatically if, for example, the system
detects that a radar sensor is continuously covered. This can be caused by a layer of ice or snow in
front of the radar sensor, for example.
A text message will be shown on the instrument cluster display.
If the Blind Spot Monitor has been automatically deactivated, the system cannot be activated until
the ignition has been switched off and back on again.
The Blind Spot Monitor is automatically deactivated and cannot be activated when the factory-fitted
towing bracket is electrically connected to a trailer or similar Trailer towing
electrically connected to the vehicle and the driver pulls away, a text message appears in the
instrument cluster display to inform the driver that the Blind Spot Monitor has been deactivated.
The Blind Spot Monitor will be automatically activated again when the trailer has been unhitched
from the vehicle. This applies if the function was previously activated. The Blind Spot Monitor must
be deactivated manually if you tow a trailer using a towing bracket that was not fitted at the factory.
Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Blind Spot Monitor is not working
The indicator lamp lights up yellow.
Go to a qualified workshop.

Lock the vehicle.
Additional points to note on uphill and downhill gradients
Before switching off the engine, turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels will roll against the
kerb if the parked vehicle starts to move.
When facing downhill, turn the wheels so that they face the kerb.
When facing uphill, turn the wheels so that they face the centre of the road.

WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires and serious injuries.
Never park the vehicle where parts of the exhaust system can come into contact with inflammable
material underneath the vehicle, e.g. undergrowth, leaves, dry grass, spilt fuel, oil etc.

WARNING
The vehicle may roll away if you leave and park the vehicle incorrectly. This can cause accidents and
serious injuries.
Ensure that the electronic parking brake is switched on before you leave the vehicle and the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up red after you switch off the ignition.
Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition if the vehicle is in motion. The steering lock may be
activated and you will no longer be able to steer or control the vehicle.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could switch off the
electronic parking brake, or move the selector lever or gearshift lever, and thus set the vehicle in
motion.
Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. The engine can be started and
electrical equipment such as the window controls can be operated. This can cause serious injury.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could become trapped
in the vehicle in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked
vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures depending on the season. This can
cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially in the case of small children.

NOTICE
Objects that protrude from the ground can damage the bumper and other components when
parking the vehicle or driving out of a parking space. Always take care when driving into parking
spaces with high kerbs or fixed boundaries. Stop before the wheels touch the fixed boundaries or
kerbs.

stopped using the foot brake
Pull the button. The vehicle brakes hard. A signal tone can be heard at the same time.

WARNING
Incorrect use of the electronic parking brake can cause accidents and serious injuries.
Never use the electronic parking brake to brake the vehicle, except in emergencies. The braking
distance is considerably longer as only the rear wheels are braked. Always use the foot brake.

WARNING
Failing to park the vehicle properly before leaving it may result in the vehicle rolling away. This can
cause accidents, serious injuries and damage to property.
Always park the vehicle in the specified order Parking
Ensure that the electronic parking brake is switched on before you leave the vehicle and the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up red after you switch off the ignition.
Troubleshooting
Fault in electronic parking brake
The indicator lamp lights up yellow. Go to a qualified workshop or a Volkswagen dealership.
Electronic parking brake does not switch off
The prerequisites for switch off are not met.
OR: the 12-volt vehicle battery is discharged.

Use jump leads Jump starting the vehicle
Noises from the electronic parking brake
You may hear noises when the electronic parking brake is switched on and off.
If the electronic parking brake has not been used for a long period, the system will carry out
occasional automatic and audible checks when the vehicle is parked.

button button Fig. 126
(arrow) goes out.
The electronic parking brake switches on automatically to hold the vehicle securely. However, the
electronic parking brake will not switch on if the brake pedal is depressed when the Auto Hold
function is switched off
Temporarily switching off the Auto Hold function with the button
It can sometimes be necessary to switch off the Auto Hold function temporarily to enable the vehicle
to roll more easily, for example when manoeuvring.
Press the brake pedal when the engine is on.
Press the button. The Auto Hold function is deactivated.
The Auto Hold function will be reactivated as soon as the brake pedal is depressed again when the
vehicle has come to a standstill.
System limits
If the clutch slips during switching off of the ignition or opening of the driver door, the vehicle may
not be secured against rolling away by either the Auto Hold function or the electronic parking brake
lamp in the instrument cluster displaylights upred. The electronic parking brake is switched on.

WARNING
The intelligent Auto Hold function cannot overcome the laws of physics, and operates only within
the limits of the system. Do not let the extra convenience afforded by the Auto Hold function tempt
you into taking any safety risks when driving.
Make sure that the indicator lamp lights up green or red on the instrument cluster display if the
vehicle is to be held securely. The vehicle is being held by the Auto Hold function if the green
indicator lamp is lit and by the electronic parking brake if the red warning lamp is lit.
Never leave the vehicle if the engine is running and the Auto Hold function is switched on.
In some cases, the Auto Hold function cannot sufficiently hold the vehicle on uphill gradients or
brake it sufficiently on downhill gradients, e.g. if the ground is slippery or icy.

NOTICE
Switch off the Auto Hold function before driving into a car wash. Damage may otherwise be caused
by automatic activation of the electronic parking brake.

wheels can spin even when brake support systems are active, and this can lead to a loss of control of
the vehicle.

WARNING
The effectiveness of ESC can be reduced considerably if other components and systems which affect
driving dynamics are not serviced properly or are not functioning properly. This also applies, but not
exclusively, to the brakes, tyres and other named systems.
Please always bear in mind that modifications and changes to the vehicle can affect the way brake
support systems operate.
Alterations to the suspension or the use of non-approved wheel and tyre combinations can affect
the function of brake support systems and reduce their effectiveness.
Suitable tyres support the effectiveness of ESC.

WARNING
Driving without the brake servo can considerably increase the braking distance and thus cause
accidents and serious injuries.
Never switch the engine or ignition off while the vehicle is in motion.
If the brake servo does not function or the vehicle is being towed, the brake pedal will have to be
depressed more forcefully as the braking distance will be increased due to the lack of assistance for
the brake system.
Switching the TCS on and off
Switch off the traction control system (TCS) if the vehicle does not have sufficient traction:
When driving in deep snow or on loose surfaces.
When rocking the vehicle free if it is stuck.
Then switch on TCS again.
Switching TCS on and off
TCS can be switched off and on in the Infotainment system Infotainment system controls and
displays
When the TCS is switched off, the yellow indicator lamp lights up on the instrument cluster
display.
As soon as the TCS starts regulating, the indicator lamp flashes yellow.
