Selector
lever
position
Designation Meaning ⇒ 
P Park The drive wheels are mechanically locked.
Select only when the vehicle is not moving. To change the
selector lever position, switch on the ignition (if it is off) and then
press the selector lever release button while holding down the
brake pedal.
R Reverse The reverse gear is engaged.
Shift into Reverse only when the vehicle is not moving.
N Neutral Transmission is in Neutral position. No power is transmitted to
the wheels and no engine braking effect is available.
D Drive (standard
driving position)
All forward gears shift up and down automatically. The
transmission shifts as needed depending on engine load,
individual driving style, and vehicle speed.
S Sport Drive (Sport
driving position)
All forward gears automatically upshift later and downshift
earlier than in the (D) (Drive) position, to take full advantage of
the engine's power reserves. The transmission shifts as needed
depending on engine load, individual driving style, and vehicle
speed.

Automatic Shift Lock (ASL)
The Automatic Shift Lock (ASL) in Park (P) and Neutral (N) prevents drive positions from being
engaged inadvertently, which would cause the vehicle to move.
To release the ASL, depress and hold the brake pedal with the ignition switched on. Press the release
button on the selector lever at the same time.
The ASL is not engaged if the selector lever is moved quickly through Neutral (N) (e.g., when shifting
from Reverse (R) to Drive (D)). This makes it possible to “rock” the vehicle backwards and forwards if
it is stuck in snow or mud. The ASL engages automatically if the brake pedal is not depressed and the
lever is in Neutral (N) for more than about 1 second and the vehicle is traveling no faster than about
3 mph (5 km/h).
x Depress and then release the brake pedal.
WARNING
Moving the selector lever to the wrong position can cause loss of vehicle control, a collision,
and serious personal injury.
x Never accelerate when moving the selector lever.
x When the engine is running and a drive position is engaged, the vehicle will start to move
as soon as the brake pedal is released.
x Never shift into Reverse or Park when the vehicle is moving.

automatically switches off to keep the brake from overheating. As soon as the brake has cooled down,
EDL automatically switches on again.
XDL is an extension of the Electronic Differential Lock system. XDL does not react to drive wheel
slippage when driving straight ahead. Instead, XDL detects slippage of the inside front wheel during
fast cornering. XDL applies enough brake pressure to this wheel in order to stop the slippage. This
improves traction, which helps the vehicle stay on track.
WARNING
Driving fast on icy, slippery, or wet roads can lead to a loss of control and result in serious
personal injury for you and your passengers.
x Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility
conditions. Never let the additional safety that ESC, ABS, BAS, ASR, and EDL can provide
tempt you into taking extra risks.
x Braking assistance systems cannot overcome the laws of physics and always prevent
loss of vehicle control. Slippery and wet roads are still dangerous even with ESC and the
other systems!
x Driving too fast on wet roads can cause the wheels to lose contact with the road and
“hydroplane.” A vehicle that has lost road contact cannot be braked, steered, or controlled.
x These systems cannot reduce the risk of accident, for example if you drive too fast for
conditions or if you do not keep your distance from the vehicle in front of you.
x Although these systems are very effective and can help you control the vehicle in many
difficult situations, always remember that your vehicle handling control is limited by tire
traction.
x When accelerating on a slippery surface, for example on ice and snow, depress the
accelerator carefully. Even with these systems, the wheels may start to spin, leading to a loss
of vehicle control.
WARNING
The effectiveness of ESC can be significantly reduced if other components and systems that
affect vehicle dynamics, including but not limited to brakes, tires, and other systems
mentioned above, are not properly maintained or functioning.
x Always remember that vehicle alterations or modifications can affect the functioning of
the ABS, BAS, ASR, EDL and ESC systems.
x Changing the vehicle suspension or using an unapproved tire/wheel combination can
change the way the ABS, BAS, ASR, EDL and ESC systems work and reduce their
effectiveness.
x The effectiveness of ESC is also determined by the tires fitted
All 4 wheels must be equipped with identical tires in order for ESC and ASR to work properly.
Differences in the tread circumference of the tires can cause the system to reduce the engine power
when it is not expected.
If ABS is not working, ESC, ASR, and EDL will also not work.
You may hear noises when these systems are active.

Orientation lines overview
Meaning of the orientation lines and areas projected on screen ⇒ fig. . All distances of the orientation
lines refer to a vehicle on a level surface.
(1) Safety distance: Area up to about 16 inches (40 cm) behind the vehicle on the road.
(2) Vehicle's width limits.
(3) Point to change steering angle.
When the yellow line touches the curb or any other parking space boundary, the steering wheel
must be turned in the opposite direction (close-up view).
(4) The parking area parallel to the vehicle which is needed for parking. The area shown must fit
completely into the parking space.
(5) Parked vehicle at the curb.
Parking
x Position the vehicle about 3 feet (1 meter) away from and parallel to the parking space and shift
into reverse.
x On the screen of the navigation system, activate Mode 2 for parallel parking.
x Back up slowly and steer the vehicle so that the yellow surface on the screen is flush with the side
boundary of the parking space (such as the curb) and stops short of any obstacle (5), such as another
vehicle.
x Turn the steering wheel as far as it will go into the direction of the parking space and slowly back
up.
x Once the yellow line (3) touches the side boundary of the parking space, such as a painted line or
a curb (close-up view), turn the steering wheel as far as it will go in the opposite direction.
x Continue backing up until the vehicles is positioned in the parking space parallel to the roadway. If
necessary, correct the parking position.
It may take up to 5 seconds for the area detected by the sensors to be displayed on the factory-
installed radio or navigation system screen.

WARNING
Incorrect tire pressures and/or underinflation can cause sudden tire failure, loss of control,
collision, serious personal injury or even death.
x When the warning symbol appears in the instrument cluster, stop and inspect the tires.
x Incorrect tire pressure and/or underinflation can cause increased tire wear and can affect
the handling of the vehicle and stopping ability.
x Incorrect tire pressures and/or underinflation can also lead to sudden tire failure,
including a blowout and sudden deflation, causing loss of vehicle control.
x The driver is responsible for the correct tire pressures for all tires on the vehicle. The
recommended tire pressure values are listed on a sticker inside the driver door 289.
x The TPMS can only work correctly when all tires on the vehicle are filled to the correct
pressure.
x Using incorrect tire pressure values can cause accidents or other damage. Always inflate
the tires to the correct specified cold tire pressure values for the tires installed on the vehicle.
x Always maintain correct cold tire inflation pressure so that TPMS can do its job.
x Always inflate tires to the recommended and correct tire pressure before driving off.
x Driving with underinflated tires causes them to flex (bend) more, letting them get too hot,
resulting in tread separation, sudden tire failure, and loss of control.
x Excessive speed and/overloading can cause heat buildup, sudden tire failure and loss of
control.
x If the tire pressure is too low or too high, the tires will wear prematurely and the vehicle
will not handle well.
x If the tire is not “flat” and you do not have to change a wheel immediately, drive carefully
and at reduced speed to the nearest service station to check the tire pressure and add air as
required.
x When replacing tires or wheel rims on vehicles equipped with TPMS always read and heed
the information and all WARNINGS regarding Tires and wheels
x The Tire Pressure Monitoring System must be recalibrated using the MFI whenever you
remove and remount or change any wheel or tire on the vehicle, even if the reinstalled or
replacement wheels and tires are identical to those that were removed and even if the tire
pressure does not change
WARNING
Improper use of the MFI reset function can cause the TPMS to give false warnings or to give
no warning despite dangerously low tire pressure
Underinflation increases fuel consumption and tire wear.
Do not rely solely on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Check your tires regularly to make
sure 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 tire tread but have not penetrated into the
body of tire itself.
When you take delivery of the vehicle, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is calibrated for the
factory-recommended cold tire inflation pressure for the tires on your vehicle, as shown on the label
inside the driver door
x The system must be recalibrated in the appropriate menu in the MFI whenever you remove and
remount or change any wheel or tire on the vehicle, even if the reinstalled or replacement wheels and

tires are identical to those that were removed and even if the tire pressure does not change Tire
inflation pressure.
x If you have to adjust the tire pressure on a warm tire, fill the tire with 2.0 - 4.35 psi (20 - 30 kPa)
more than the pressure specified on the tire pressure label
x If the TPMS determines that the air pressure in at least one tire is too low, carefully check the
pressure in all four tires with an accurate tire pressure gauge. Low tire pressure usually cannot be
determined by looking at the tire. This is especially true of low-profile tires.
If you have work done on your wheels or tires, inform the workshop that the vehicle is equipped
with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
New tires may expand slightly the first time they are driven at high speeds, which can trigger a
tire pressure warning. Remember that tire pressure can only be properly measured when the tire is
“cold”
Only replace old tires with tires that have been approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle type.

break down in traffic and result in a collision and serious personal injury.
x Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
x Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system
is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups
as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue
to function properly.
Resetting and recalibrating the benchmark tire pressure
Resetting the tire pressures in the Multi-function Indicator (MFI) resets the benchmark tire pressure
used by the TPMS to the current tire pressure in the tires based on the circumference of the tires.
To reset the reference tire pressure, switch on the ignition. In the MFI, navigate to the Settings menu
and select Tire pressure. Store and confirm the new tire pressures.
The re-calibration must be performed each time the tire pressure in one or more tires has been
adjusted or after one or more tires has been changed, exchanged, or repaired. The new tire pressures
are stored in the system only after at least 20 minutes of normal driving.
If you have reset the benchmark tire pressure when your tires do not have the correct tire pressure,
this will prevent the TPMS from working properly. It may then give false warnings or may not give any
warning even if the tire pressure is too low.
For this reason, it is vital to make certain that all four tires are inflated to the correct pressure
when they are cold, before calibrating the system. Cold tire tires are tires that have not been driven
more than a couple of miles (kilometers) at low speed within the last 3 hours.
Recalibrate the system to reset the benchmark TPMS pressure in the following
situations:
x After installing tires on your vehicle that have recommended cold tire inflation pressures that are
different from the tires that were taken off.
x After any tire on your vehicle is removed and then remounted, even if the same tire and wheel rim
that were taken off are reinstalled (for instance, after repair).
x After any tire on your vehicle is changed and replaced by another tire, even if the replacement tire
is the same type and is inflated to the same pressure as the tire it replaced.
x After adjusting the tire pressure of any tire on the vehicle to its correct cold tire inflation pressure,
either by putting air in one or more tires or by letting air out. Do this even though air was only added
(or let out) to bring the tire to the inflation pressure it should have had all along.
x After rotating the front and rear wheels
x After mounting the compact spare tire.
WARNING
Incorrect calibration can cause the TPMS to give false warnings or to give no warning despite
dangerously low tire pressures. Make certain the tire inflation pressure of all tires is correct
before calibrating the system.

WARNING
Incorrect tire pressure can cause sudden tire failure, loss of vehicle control and serious
personal injury.
x Always check and correct air pressure in all four tires, particularly after changing,
exchanging, or repairing tires.
x After that, always make sure that all 4 tires are inflated to the correct tire pressure for the
tires installed on the vehicle. Then recalibrate the system so that it can properly monitor the
pressure in the tire.
x See the tire pressure label and the Owner's Literature for recommended cold tire inflation
pressure and other important information.
x When replacing tires or wheel rims, always read and heed all of the information and
WARNINGS
x The Tire Pressure Monitoring System must be recalibrated using the MFI whenever you
remove and remount or change any wheel or tire on the vehicle, even if the reinstalled or
replacement wheels and tires are identical to those that were removed and even if the tire
pressure does not change.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System stops working if there is an ESC/ABS malfunction.
After a low tire pressure warning, the vehicle must stand and must not be driven for at least one
minute before the new benchmark tire pressures can be stored.
