Driving
Notes on driving
Pedals

NOTICE
Free access to the pedals must be ensured at all times. For example, a larger brake pedal travel will
be necessary in order to stop the vehicle if a brake circuit fails. The brake pedal will have to be
depressed further and harder than normal.
Gear-change indicator

Key to ⇒ Fig. 96 :
Currently selected gear.
Recommended gear.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, the instrument cluster display may indicate a gear
which should be selected to reduce fuel consumption while the vehicle is in motion.
Vehicles with DSG dual clutch gearbox: the selector lever must be in the Tiptronic position for
this ⇒ Changing gear using Tiptronic .
No recommended gear is indicated if the most suitable gear is already selected. The currently
selected gear is displayed.
Information on cleaning the particulate filter
The engine management system recognises when the particulate filter is becoming saturated and
supports regeneration of the filter by recommending the most suitable gear when driving. Compared
with normal driving, this may mean driving with an increased engine speed ⇒ Particulate filter .

CAUTION
The gear-change indicator is designed only to assist the driver and cannot replace the driver's own
judgement.
The driver has full responsibility for selecting the correct gear in all situations, e.g. when overtaking
or when driving up and down hills.

Driving in the correct gear can help to reduce fuel consumption.

If the front brake pads are checked, the rear brake pads should be checked at the same time. A
visual check of the thickness of all brake pads should be carried out regularly by checking the brake
pads through the openings in the rims or from the underside of the vehicle. If necessary, remove the
wheels to carry out a comprehensive check. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen
dealership for this purpose.
Driving a loaded vehicle
For good vehicle handling when driving a loaded vehicle, please observe the following:
Stow all items of luggage securely ⇒ Stowing luggage and loads .
Accelerate particularly cautiously and carefully.
Avoid sudden braking and driving manoeuvres.
Brake earlier than in normal driving.
If applicable, observe the information concerning the roof carrier ⇒ Roof carrier .


WARNING
Moving loads can severely impair the vehicle's stability and driving safety which could cause
accidents and serious injuries.
Secure items properly so they cannot slide about.
Use suitable lashing or securing straps when securing heavy objects.
Securely engage the rear seat backrests.
Driving with an open boot lid
Driving with an open boot lid is particularly dangerous. All objects and the open boot lid must be
secured properly. Take the appropriate measures to reduce the amount of poisonous exhaust fumes
that could enter into the vehicle.

WARNING
Driving with an unlocked or open boot lid can cause serious injuries.
Always drive with the boot lid closed.
Always stow all items in the luggage compartment securely. Loose objects can fall out of the luggage
compartment and injure other road users.
Always drive especially carefully and think ahead.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Setting a driving profile 
⇒ Individually adapting a driving profile 
⇒ Troubleshooting 
By selecting different driving profiles, the driver can adapt the characteristics of the vehicle systems
to the current driving situation, the desired ride comfort and an economical driving style. The
adaptable vehicle systems include the running gear, engine management system or the air
conditioning system.
Different driving profiles can be selected depending on the vehicle equipment level. The effect on
the vehicle setup in the individual driving profiles varies according to the vehicle equipment.
The Comfort driving profile is available only for vehicles with adaptive chassis control (DCC).
The setting options available depend on the type of drive. Vehicles with front-wheel drive have
onroad driving profiles, while vehicles with all-wheel drive have additional offroad driving profiles
⇒ Setting a driving profile .
The driving profile can be changed when the vehicle is stationary or while driving ⇒ . After
selecting a driving profile, the vehicle settings (excluding engine settings) are switched to the new
driving profile immediately. When traffic conditions allow, briefly take your foot off the accelerator
to activate the newly selected driving profile for the engine also.

WARNING
Selecting a driving profile while the vehicle is in motion can distract you from the road and cause
accidents.

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