It is essential to note the warning information shown on these stickers before installing a rear-facing
child seat ⇒ .
Risks involved in carrying children on the front passenger seat
If you are using a rear-facing child seat, the front passenger front airbag can cause critical or
potentially fatal injuries when it inflates ⇒ .
Rear-facing child seats may be used on the front passenger seat only if the front passenger front
airbag has been deactivated. A deactivated front passenger front airbag is indicated by the
continuously lit PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamp in the driver's field of vision.
PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamp ⇒ Indicator lamp .
If using a front-facing child seat, do not deactivate the front passenger front airbag. When fitting the
child seat, ensure that it is as far away as possible from the front passenger front airbag. The front
passenger front airbag can cause severe injuries when it inflates ⇒ .
Some child seats are not suitable for use on the front passenger seat. The child seat must be
specially approved by the manufacturer for use on the front passenger seat in vehicles with front
and side airbags. Volkswagen dealerships keep an up-to-date list of approved child seats.

DANGER
If you use a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat, the child in it is at increased risk of
sustaining critical or fatal injuries in the event of an accident.
Deactivate the front passenger front airbag. If the front passenger front airbag cannot be
deactivated, no rear-facing child seat may be used.
Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and adjust to its highest position to create the
largest possible distance between the child seat and the front passenger front airbag.
Move the backrest to the upright position.
Adjust the seat belt height adjuster to the highest position.
Use only child seats that have been approved by the child seat manufacturer for use on a front
passenger seat with front and side airbags.

WARNING
There is a risk of injury if child seats are installed incorrectly.
Always read and follow the installation instructions and warning information provided by the child
seat manufacturer.

WARNING

Switch on the ignition and the automatic headlights .
Tap the turn signal and main beam lever forwards from the basic position.
When main-beam control is switched on, the indicator lamp lights up in the instrument cluster
display.
Switching off main-beam control
Pull back the turn signal and main beam lever.
OR: switch off the automatic headlights .
OR: switch off the ignition.
OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam.
System limits
The main beam must be manually switched off under the following conditions, as it is not switched
off by the main-beam control in time or at all:
In poorly lit streets where there are highly-reflective signs.
Other road users with insufficient lighting facilities, such as pedestrians, cyclists.
In tight bends, with half-hidden oncoming traffic, on steep crests or in dips.
With oncoming traffic on roads with a central barrier where the driver can see clearly over the
central barrier e.g. truck drivers.
In fog, snow or heavy rain.
In conditions with swirled-up dust and sand.
If the windscreen is damaged in the camera's field of vision.
If the camera's field of vision is covered by condensation, dirt, a sticker, or by snow or ice.
If the camera is faulty or the power supply is interrupted.

WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main-beam control tempt you into taking any risks
when driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Always check the vehicle lights yourself and adapt them to the prevailing conditions for light,
visibility and road traffic.
The main-beam control may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly and may not
work properly in certain situations.
If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the main-beam control
may be impaired. This also applies if changes are made to the vehicle's lighting system, for example
if additional headlights are fitted.

Eco driving profile ⇒ Driving profile selection and 4MOTION Active Control .
Avoid driving at full throttle
Never drive the vehicle at its top speed. The drag coefficient increases at excessively high speeds.
This in turn increases the force needed to move the vehicle.
Reduce idling
Pull away immediately with low engine speeds. If you are stopped for a long period, do not allow the
engine to idle but switch it off, e.g. when in a traffic jam or at a railway crossing.
In vehicles with an activated start/stop system, the engine can switch off automatically when the
vehicle is stopping and when the vehicle is stationary ⇒ Start/stop system .
Refuel moderately
A full fuel tank increases the weight of the vehicle. A fuel tank that is half or two thirds of the way
full is sufficient for journeys in urban traffic in particular.
Avoid short journeys
A cold engine has very high fuel consumption. The optimum operating temperature is reached only
after driving a few kilometres. The fuel consumption is above average at very low ambient
temperatures, e.g. in winter ⇒ Fig. 97 . Plan journeys economically and combine short journeys.
Carry out regular maintenance
Regular maintenance is an essential prerequisite for economical driving and increases the service life
of the vehicle.
Observe the tyre pressures
Low tyre pressures does not just mean greater wear, but also increase the rolling resistance of the
tyres and thus the fuel consumption. Use optimised rolling resistance tyres.
Adjust the tyre pressure according to the load. Observe the information on the tyre pressure sticker
⇒ Useful information about wheels and tyres 
Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator or Tyre Pressure Monitoring System ⇒ Tyre monitoring system .
Use low viscosity engine oils
Fully synthetic engine oils with a low viscosity decrease frictional resistance in the engine and are
distributed better and more quickly, especially during cold starts.
Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the vehicle
You can reduce fuel consumption by clearing out the luggage compartment before setting off, for
example by removing empty drink crates or unused child seats.
To keep the vehicle's air resistance as low as possible, remove any add-on parts and equipment such
as ski racks, bicycle racks and roof carriers once you have finished using them.
Save electrical energy

WARNING
If you do not maintain the minimum distance to a vehicle in front and the difference in speed
between the vehicle in front and your own vehicle is so great that the braking action of the ACC is
insufficient, you are in danger of colliding with the vehicle in front. The braking distance is also
longer in rain and winter road conditions.
ACC may not be able to detect all driving situations correctly.
Always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
Speed and distance control are overridden when you press the accelerator. ACC does not brake
automatically in this case.
Observe any country-specific regulations relating to the minimum distance.
Always set a larger distance in wet or snowy conditions or when visibility is poor.

Rear view camera system (Rear View)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Switching on and off 
⇒ Display representation 
⇒ Prerequisites 
⇒ Parking 
⇒ Troubleshooting 
The rear view camera system in the rear of the vehicle makes it easier for the driver to see behind
the vehicle and provides support for parking manoeuvres.
The rear view camera system shows the area behind the vehicle on the Infotainment system screen.
Depending on the operating mode, orientation lines support the view to the rear.

WARNING
Using images from the camera to estimate the distance from obstacles (people, vehicles etc.) is
inaccurate and could cause accidents and severe injuries.
Camera lenses enlarge and distort the field of vision and show objects differently and inaccurately
on the screen.

Engine oils are constantly being developed and improved. Volkswagen dealerships always have the
latest information about any changes. Volkswagen therefore recommends having engine oil changes
done by a Volkswagen dealership.
Information for warning and indicator lamps lit up can be found in the troubleshooting at the end of
the chapter ⇒ Troubleshooting .

WARNING
Incorrect handling of engine oil can cause serious burns and other injuries.

Leaking or spilt engine oil can pollute the environment. Spilt service fluids must be collected and
then disposed of properly and in an environmentally responsible way.
Engine oil standards
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
If possible, use only Volkswagen-approved engine oil ⇒ . To comply with the requirements of the
flexible oil change service, use only approved flexible service engine oil that complies with the
corresponding VW standard.
Since the quality of fuels can vary greatly between individual markets, this must be taken into
account when selecting the correct engine oil.
The use of engine oils compliant with the VW 504 00, VW 507 00 and VW 508 00 specifications
requires a fuel quality compliant with EN 228 (petrol) and EN 590 (diesel), or fuel of an equivalent
quality. Engine oils compliant with VW 504 00, VW 507 00 and VW 508 00 are therefore unsuitable
for use in a large number of markets.
If the engine has been filled with engine oil in accordance with the standards W 502 00, VW 504 00
and VW 507 00, a sticker with the relevant information will be located on the lock carrier in the
engine compartment. Observe this information!
