Check whether any of the causes described apply.
You can switch the system back on again once you have rectified the cause of the problem.
If the system still fails to respond as expected, have the system checked by a qualified workshop.
Automatic cancellation of driving in/out of a parking space
Park Assist cancels parking or driving out of a parking space in the following situations:
The button is pressed.
The driver intervenes using the steering wheel.
The driver door is opened.
The parking operation is not completed within around six minutes.
There is a system fault.
TCS is switched off or is taking corrective action.

When accelerating on a slippery surface, for example on ice and snow, accelerate carefully. The
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.

Volkswagen Car-Net
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Legal requirements 
⇒ Deactivating Car-Net services 
⇒ Service impairment or interruption 
⇒ Apps 
Volkswagen Car-Net is not available in all countries and is subject to country-specific limitations on
duration of use.
Volkswagen Car-Net allows you to communicate with your vehicle in order to exchange data,
request information or control functions.
In order to be able to use Volkswagen Car-Net, the vehicle has to be ordered with Car-Net and
factory-fitted with the system. Depending on the service or service portfolio, Volkswagen Car-Net
can be operated via the factory-fitted Infotainment system, via a Car-Net portal on the Internet or
using a mobile device.
Information about the Volkswagen Car-Net services, applications, availability, compatible mobile
devices and service portfolio, as well as service descriptions, are available on the Volkswagen
website:

If you park the trailer using the support wheel or other trailer supports, the trailer must be
unhitched from the vehicle. The vehicle could move up and down if the load changes or if there is
damage to the tyres, for example. If this happens, a great deal of force will be exerted on the towing
bracket and trailer, which could lead to damage to the vehicle and trailer.

If there is a fault in the vehicle or trailer electrical systems or in the anti-theft alarm, have the vehicle
checked by a qualified workshop.

If the 12-volt vehicle battery charge level is low, the electrical connection to the trailer will be
interrupted automatically.
Loading the trailer
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Trailer weight and drawbar load
The trailer weight is the weight that the vehicle can pull ⇒ .
The drawbar load is the load that is exerted vertically from above onto the ball head of the towing
bracket.
The figures for trailer weights and drawbar weights that are given on the data plate of the towing
bracket are for certification purposes only. The correct values for your specific model, which may be
lower than these figures, are given in the vehicle registration documents. All data in the official
vehicle documents take precedence over these data.
The maximum permitted drawbar load exerted by the trailer drawbar on the ball head of the towing
bracket must not exceed 80 kg.
In the interest of driving safety, Volkswagen recommends that you always use the maximum
drawbar load. The handling of the vehicle combination will be impaired if the drawbar load is too
low.
The drawbar load increases the weight on the rear axle and reduces the maximum payload of the
vehicle as a result.
Gross combination weight
The gross combination weight is made up of the actual weight of the loaded vehicle and of the
loaded trailer.
In some countries, trailers are divided into different classes. Volkswagen recommends that you
contact a qualified workshop to find out about suitable trailers.
Loading the trailer
The weight of the load should be distributed evenly. The maximum permitted drawbar load should
be utilised. Do not place the load only at the front or the rear of the trailer:

⇒ Tow-starting 
⇒ Towing 
⇒ Fitting the rear towing eye 
⇒ Fitting the front towing eye 
Towing requires some experience, especially when using a tow rope. Both drivers should be familiar
with the technique required for towing. Inexperienced drivers should not attempt to tow.
Ensure that no excessive pulling forces occur and take care to avoid jerking movements. When
towing offroad, there is always a risk of overloading the anchorage points.
Observe any legal requirements when towing or tow-starting.
Tow-starting
Tow-starting describes the procedure for starting the vehicle by moving it using another towing
vehicle.
The vehicle can be tow-started with a tow-bar or a tow-rope.
Towing
Towing is where a vehicle that cannot be driven is pulled with the aid of another vehicle.
The vehicle can be towed with a tow-bar or a tow-rope. When the engine is stopped, the gearbox is
not lubricated sufficiently at higher speeds and over long distances:
km/h (30 mph).
km.
Tow rope, tow bar
It is easier and safer to tow a vehicle with a tow bar. Use a tow rope only if you do not have a tow
bar.
The tow rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the strain on both vehicles. It is advisable to use a
tow rope made of synthetic fibre or similarly elastic material.
Towing with a tow truck
If your vehicle is to be raised on one axle for towing, this may only be done using the following axles
according to the gearbox/drive combination:
Front-wheel drive
Manual gearboxFront or rear axleAutomatic gearboxFront axle

WARNING
If a vehicle is being towed, the vehicle handling and braking efficiency will change significantly.

amage.


If the tyre pressure is too low, this will increase fuel consumption and tyre wear.

When new tyres are driven at high speeds for the first time, they can expand slightly and trigger a
one-off pressure warning.

Old tyres should be replaced only by tyres that have been approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle
type.

Do not rely solely on the tyre monitoring system. Check your tyres regularly to ensure that they are
properly inflated and have no signs of damage, such as punctures, cuts, cracks, and blisters. Remove
any objects that become embedded in the tyre tread but have not penetrated into the body of the
tyre itself.
