Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Front controls
Air recirculation mode
Seat heating
Steering wheel heating
Troubleshooting
The following systems may be installed in the vehicle
Both the manual air conditioning system and Climatronic heat, cool and dehumidify the air. It works
most effectively when the windows and the glass roof are closed. If heat has built up in the vehicle
interior, ventilating the vehicle can speed up the cooling process.
Display of activated functions
Lit up LEDs on rotary knobs and buttons indicate that the function is switched on.

WARNING
Poor visibility through the windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which can cause
serious injuries.
Keep all windows free from ice, snow and condensation to maintain good visibility.
Adjust the heating, air conditioning system and rear window heating so that condensation does not
form on the windows.
Only set off once all windows are clear.
Use air recirculation mode for a short period only. If the cooling system is switched off, condensation
can form on the windows very quickly in air recirculation mode and reduce visibility considerably.

Switch off the air recirculation mode when it is no longer required.

NOTICE
In vehicles with an air conditioning system, do not smoke when the air recirculation mode is
switched on. The smoke can leave a residue on the cooling system evaporator and the dust and
pollen filter with pollution filter insert, producing a lasting unpleasant odour.

When reversing the vehicle, or when the wash and wipe system is being used, the air recirculation
mode will switch on to prevent odours from entering the vehicle interior.

WARNING
The start/stop system must always be switched off manually when towing a trailer using towing
brackets that have not been retrofitted by Volkswagen. Otherwise faults can occur in the brake
system, possibly resulting in accidents and serious injuries.

NOTICE
Observe the instructions and information for vehicles with an N1 approval Information about
vehicles wit

Always switch off the anti-theft alarm before a trailer is hitched or unhitched or a bicycle carrier is

With a new engine, do not tow a trailer during the first 1,000 km Running in the engine

Some retrofitted towing brackets may cover the aperture for fitting the towing eye. If so, the towing
eye cannot be used for towing or tow-starting other vehicles. For this reason, the removed ball head
of a retrofitted towing bracket should be kept in the vehicle at all times.
Technical requirements
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Cooling system
There is an increased load on the engine and the cooling system when towing a trailer. The cooling
system must contain sufficient coolant and be able to cope with the extra load due to trailer towing.
Trailer brake
If the trailer is equipped with its own brake system, comply with the relevant regulations.
Trailer tail light clusters
The trailer tail light clusters must work correctly and meet legal requirements. Do not exceed the
maximum power consumption for the trailer.
Exterior mirrors
If you are unable to see the traffic behind the trailer using the vehicle's standard exterior mirrors,
additional exterior mirrors should be fitted in accordance with any country-specific regulations.
Before setting off, adjust the exterior mirrors so that you have a sufficient view towards the rear.

Retrofitting a towing bracket

Fig. 157 Dimensions and mounting points for retrofitting a towing bracket.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Volkswagen recommends having the towing bracket retrofitted by a qualified workshop. The cooling
system may need to be modified or heat shields may need to be fitted. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Dimensions
The dimensions Fig. 157must be observed in all cases when retrofitting a towing bracket. Always
observe the minimum distance given from the middle of the ball head to the surface of the road.
This also applies when the vehicle is fully laden, including maximum drawbar load.
