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.

Before closing stowage areas or compartments always ensure that there is no lighter in the way.
Never stow lighters in stowage areas or compartments or on other surfaces in the vehicle. Cigarette
lighters may self-ignite as a result of high surface temperatures, particularly in summer.

NOTICE
The heating elements in the rear window can be destroyed by objects rubbing against them.
Do not stow any temperature-sensitive objects, food or medicines inside the vehicle. Hot and cold
temperatures could damage them or render them unusable.
Objects stored in the vehicle that are made from transparent materials, such as glasses, magnifying
glasses or transparent suction cups on the windows, can concentrate the sun's rays and thus cause
damage to the vehicle.

Always ensure that the ventilation openings between the rear window and the stowage area are
uncovered to allow stale air to escape from the vehicle.

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:
In Europe and Japan: www.volkswagen.com/car-net

Fig. 144symbol in the vehicle does not mean that the control unit is not
transmitting the current position or speed of the vehicle.
Personal data
Volkswagen collects, processes and uses the user's personal data in accordance with statutory
requirements. You can access the current data protection policy on the Volkswagen homepage.
Deactivating Car-Net services

Fig. 145 Retrofitted sticker in the vehicle if Volkswagen Car-Net services have been permanently
deactivated.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
If you sell the vehicle or lend it for a longer period, inform the user about the deactivated services
and deactivated control unit.
If your vehicle is already equipped with the legally required emergency call function eCall, this
function will not be affected by the deactivation described here.
Temporary deactivation
If your vehicle is in a workshop, you may find that the service technicians have deactivated individual
or all services for the duration of the workshop visit. The services will be available again once the
work is complete. Please contact your workshop if necessary. Volkswagen Car-Net portfolios can be
deactivated manually in the Infotainment system. The services can then be run again when the
deactivation is cancelled in the Infotainment system. Deactivated services are marked with a
corresponding indication on the start page of the Car-Net portal.
Permanent deactivation
In order to permanently deactivate Car-Net functions in vehicles with the Security & Service or e-
Remote packages, the online connectivity unit must be deactivated by a qualified workshop at your
request.
Once the on-board connectivity unit has been deactivated, the workshop will attach a sticker
Fig. 145to your vehicle (e.g. on the roof console). The sticker shows that neither the Volkswagen
emergency call service nor the automatic accident notification will work. All other e-Remote and
Security & Service services will also be deactivated.
Service impairment or interruption

Even when the above-mentioned requirements for using the services are met, the functionality of
the Car-Net services can be impaired or interrupted due to factors that lie outside the control of
Volkswagen AG. Such factors include in particular:
s.
The telecommunications provider has changed the mobile telecommunication standard for
transferring mobile data, e.g. from UMTS to EDGE or GPRS
An existing mobile telecommunications standard has been shut down by the telecommunications
provider.
Impairment or interruption to mobile and GPS reception, e.g. due to high speeds, solar storms,
weather, landscape, interfering devices or intensive use of the mobile network in the relevant cells.
Restricted availability, completeness or correctness of information provided by third parties, e.g.
maps.
Countries where Volkswagen Car-Net services are not available.
Apps
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The Volkswagen Car-Net app can execute Volkswagen Car-Net services in the vehicle and provide
information.
Volkswagen App-Connect allows content from Volkswagen apps and third party apps on mobile
devices to be shown on the Infotainment system screen.
There may be problems with compatibility with third party apps.
A wide range of applications may be available and they may be vehicle-specific and country-specific
o depend on
availability of services offered by third parties.
We are unable to guarantee that the available apps can be run on all mobile devices and all
operating systems.
Applications offered by Volkswagen can be changed, discontinued, deactivated, reactivated and
expanded without prior notice.

overheat and fail.
will change because of the
trailer load and the increased combined towing weight of the vehicle and trailer.
When driving with this combination, drive particularly carefully and slowly.
Pulling off on slopes when towing a trailer
Depending on the steepness of the uphill gradient and the total weight of the trailer and vehicle, a
vehicle towing a trailer could roll back a short distance when moving off on a hill.
When towing a trailer, pull off on slopes as follows:
