Driver information
Symbols in instrument cluster
The warning and indicator lamps indicate various warnings, faults or certain functions. Some
warning and indicator lamps light up when the ignition is switched on and must go out once the
engine is running or the vehicle is in motion.
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, symbols may be displayed in the instrument cluster
instead of warning lamps.

Dynamic Road Sign Display (Sign Assist)

Fig. 14 On the instrument cluster display: examples of recognised speed limits and overtaking
restrictions with accompanying additional signs.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Dynamic Road Sign Display uses a camera in the base of the interior mirror to monitor standard road
signs and informs the driver of any detected speed limits or overtaking restrictions. Within the limits
of the system, the system also displays additional signs, e.g. temporary restrictions, signs related to
towing a trailer Trailer towingor restrictions in wet weather conditions. In some cases, the
system can also display the current speed limits on non-signposted routes.
Displays
In addition to speed limits and overtaking restrictions, Dynamic Road Sign Display also detects the
sign which indicates that all restrictions have been lifted on motorways and main roads in Germany.
In all other countries, the currently valid speed limit is displayed instead.
The road signs detected by Dynamic Road Sign Display are displayed on the instrument cluster
Fig. 14and in some cases also on the Infotainment system, depending on which version is
installed in the vehicle. In some equipment levels, a display is also shown on the Head-up Display

Fig. 32 The unbelted rear passenger is thrown forward and strikes the belted driver.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Many people believe that the occupants can brace their weight with their hands in a minor collision.
This is not true.
Even at low speeds, the forces acting on the body in a collision are so great that it is not possible to
brace yourself with your arms and hands. In a frontal collision, vehicle occupants who have not
fastened their seat belts will be thrown forward and will make unchecked contact with parts of the
vehicle interior, e.g. the steering wheel, dash panel, or windscreen Fig. 31
The airbag system is not a substitute for the seat belts. Airbags provide only additional protection
when deployed. Airbags will not be triggered in all kinds of accidents. Even if the vehicle is equipped
with an airbag system, all vehicle occupants, including the driver, must fasten their seat belt and
wear it correctly while the vehicle is in motion. This will reduce the risk of severe or fatal injuries in
the event of an accident regardless of whether an airbag is fitted for the seat.
An airbag can be triggered only once. To achieve the best possible protection, the seat belt must
always be worn properly so that you will be protected in accidents in which no airbag is deployed.
Any vehicle occupants not wearing a seat belt can be thrown out of the vehicle and sustain more
severe or even fatal injuries as a result.
It is also important for the rear seat occupants to wear seat belts properly, as they could otherwise
be thrown forwards violently in an accident. Rear seat passengers who are not wearing seat belts
endanger not only themselves and the driver, but also other people in the vehicle Fig. 32

Never rely on the airbag system exclusively for your protection.
The airbag has merely a supportive function for your protection, even if it is triggered.
The airbag system offers the best level of protection and reduces the risk of injury when seat belts
are properly worn Seat belts
Before every trip, each vehicle occupant must adopt the correct sitting position, correctly fasten the
seat belt belonging to their seat and keep it fastened properly throughout the trip. This applies to all
vehicle occupants and also in urban traffic.

WARNING
The risk of injury increases if there are any objects located between the vehicle occupants and the
deployment area of the airbag when it is triggered. This will impinge on the deployment zone of the
airbag or the items will be flung against the body.
Never hold any objects in your hands or on your lap while the vehicle is in motion.
Never transport any objects on the front passenger seat. The objects could enter into the
deployment zone of the airbag during sudden braking or driving manoeuvres and then be flung
dangerously through the vehicle interior if the airbag is activated.
Vehicle occupants sitting on the front seats and rear outer seats must never carry any people, pets
or objects in the deployment zone between themselves and the airbags. Make sure that children and
passengers also keep to this rule.

WARNING
The airbag system can be triggered only once. The system will have to be replaced if the airbags have
been triggered.
Airbags that have been triggered, and any affected system parts, must immediately be replaced with
new parts that are approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle.
Repairs and modifications to your vehicle should be carried out only by a qualified workshop.
Qualified workshops have the necessary tools, diagnostic equipment, repair information and
qualified personnel.
Never use recycled airbag components or components that have been taken from end-of-life
vehicles in your vehicle.
Never alter any components of the airbag system.

WARNING

The front passenger front airbag should be switched off only in exceptional circumstances.
To prevent damage to the airbag system, switch the front passenger front airbag on and off only
when the ignition is switched off.
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the key-operated switch is set to the correct position.
Switch off the front passenger front airbag only if in exceptional circumstances a child seat is fitted
on the front passenger seat.
Switch the front passenger front airbag back on again as soon as the child seat on the front
passenger seat is no longer being used.

WARNING
Do not leave the vehicle key in the key switch while driving.
Strong vibrations may cause the vehicle key to turn in the key switch, which could cause the front
passenger front airbag to be activated.
Untimely inflation of the front passenger front airbag could lead to serious or fatal injuries.

NOTICE
If the key bit is not inserted far enough, the key switch could be damaged when the key is turned.

NOTICE
Do not leave the vehicle key in the key switch, as this could result in damage to the interior door
trim, dash panel, key switch or vehicle key when the front passenger door is closed.

When pushing the vehicle by hand, do not press on the tail light clusters, the rear spoiler or large
panels. This could damage the vehicle and the rear spoiler could become detached.

The 12-volt vehicle battery will discharge if the hazard warning lights are left on over a long period of
time even when the ignition is switched off.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the brake lights flash rapidly if you brake sharply or initiate full
braking at a speed of more than 80 km/h (50 mph). This is a particularly effective way of attracting
the attention of vehicles behind you. If you then continue to brake, the hazard warning lights will be
switched on automatically at speeds under approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). Once you start to
accelerate, the hazard warning lights will switch off again automatically.
