Checklist
Therefore, do not do any work in the engine compartment unless you know exactly how to
carry out the jobs, are aware of the general safety procedures and have the correct
equipment, service fluids and suitable tools to hand ⇒ In the engine compartment! In any
other case all work must be carried out by a qualified workshop. Make sure that the
following are checked regularly:
Vehicle lighting Lights required for the vehicle to be roadworthy:
- Turn signals
- Side lights, dipped beam headlights and main beam headlights
- Tail light cluster
- Brake lights
- Rear fog light
- Number plate light.
Servicing the vehicle is not only about vehicle maintenance – it also ensures that your
vehicle remains roadworthy and in perfect working order. You should therefore have your vehicle
serviced according to Volkswagen guidelines. Some work may have to be carried out before the
due date of the next service if the vehicle is subjected to severe operating conditions. Severe
operating conditions are, for example, regular stop and go driving or driving in areas with high
levels of dust. Further information can be obtained from your Volkswagen dealership or a qualified
workshop.
Sitting position
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Dangers of assuming an incorrect sitting position
⇒ Correct sitting position
Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication or narcotics can cause serious
accidents and fatal injuries.
•Alcohol, drugs, medication and narcotics can severely impair perception, reaction
times and driving safety. This could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Always observe current traffic regulations and speed limits, and think ahead when driving.
Correct interpretation of a driving situation can make the difference between reaching
your destination safely and having an accident with serious injuries.
WARNING
Volkswagen is not responsible for any vehicle damage caused by low-quality fuel,
inadequate servicing work or lack of Genuine Parts.

NOTICE

In vehicles with a corresponding equipment level, main-beam control can be activated and
deactivated in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Operation and 
display in the Infotainment system:
Switching on main beam control
•Switch on the ignition and turn the light switch to position .
•Tap the turn signal and main beam lever forwards out of the basic position.
When the main-beam control is switched on, the indicator lamp is shown on the instrument
cluster display.

•OR: turn the light switch to a position that is not .
•OR: switch off the ignition.
•OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam.
Advanced main-beam control (Dynamic Light Assistyf
Advanced main-beam control provides maximum illumination for the road and the surrounding area.
At the same time, it prevents vehicles in front or oncoming vehicles from being dazzled. The system
uses a camera to detect other road users and their distance from your vehicle and covers part of
the headlights appropriately. If the system can no longer prevent other road users from being
dazzled, the main beams are switched off automatically.
System limits
The main beam must be switched off manually under the following conditions because it is not
switched off in time or not switched off at all by the main beam control:
•In poorly lit streets where there are highly-reflective signs.
•Other road users with insufficient lighting facilities, such as pedestrians, cyclists.
•In tight bends, brows of hills or depressions in the land or half-hidden oncoming traffic.
•With oncoming traffic on streets 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 dusty or sandy areas.
•Damage to the windscreen in the camera's vision field.
•If the viewing field of the camera is misted up, dirty, covered by a sticker, snow or ice.
•If the camera is broken or the power supply is interrupted.
Light-emitting objects in the camera's field of operation, e.g. mobile navigation devices, could
impair the functions of the main-beam control system (Light Assistyf.
Parking light
Switching the parking lights on and off
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main beam control tempt you into taking any
risks when driving – this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full
concentration of the driver.
•Always check the lights yourself and adjust them to the prevailing conditions for lights,
vision 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.
WARNING
Please observe the following points in order to avoid impairing the proper function of the
system:
•Regularly clean the camera's field of view, and keep it free from snow and ice.
•Do not cover the camera's field of view.
•Regularly check the area of the windscreen that is in the camera's field of view for
damage.
