approximately every 6 seconds.
Pushing the lever activates the wash and wipe system for cleaning the rear window.
When switched on, the wipers will temporarily be switched to the next setting down when the
vehicle is stationary.
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and
therefore change automatically when the user account changes ⇒ Personalisation.
Without adequate anti-freeze, the washer fluid can freeze on the windscreen and obscure
your view.
•In winter temperatures, the windscreen washer system should only be used when
adequate frost protection has been added.
•Never use the windscreen washer system at winter temperatures before the
windscreen has been heated by the ventilation system or the windscreen heating. This
could lead to the anti-freeze mixture freezing on the windscreen and restrict the
driver's vision.
WARNING
Worn or dirty windscreen wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents
and severe injuries.
•Always change wiper blades if they are damaged or worn and no longer clean the
windows properly ⇒ Wiper blades.
WARNING
Before setting off and before switching on the ignition, always check the following to avoid
damage to the windows, wiper blades and wiper motor:
•The wiper lever is located in the basic position.
•Snow and ice have been removed from the wiper blades and windows.
•Wiper blades that have become frozen onto the glass have been carefully loosened.
Volkswagen recommends using a de-icer spray for this.
NOTICE
Do not switch on the wipers when the windscreen is dry. Using the wipers when the glass
is dry can damage the glass.
NOTICE

•Select reverse gear while the ignition is switched on. The right exterior mirror will now adjust
itself to the stored position.
The front passenger exterior mirror will move out of the position saved for reversing when the
vehicle is driven forwards faster than approximately 15 km/h (9 mphyfRUZKHQWKHURWDU\NQRELV
moved out of position into another position.
The exterior mirror heating should be switched off when it is no longer needed. Fuel is
otherwise wasted.
In the event of a fault, the electric exterior mirrors can be adjusted by hand by pressing on
the outer edge of the mirror.
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and
therefore change automatically when the user account changes ⇒ Personalisation.
Protection from the sun
Sun visors
Fig. 107 In the front headliner: sun visor.
Adjustment positions for the driver and front passenger sun visors:
•Folded down over the windscreen.
•Pulled out of the bracket and swung over towards the door ⇒ Fig. 107Ⓐ.
Illuminated vanity mirror
There is a vanity mirror behind a cover on the inside of the sun visor. When you open the cover
⇒ Fig. 107Ⓑ, a lamp ⇒ Fig. 107① lights up.
In certain circumstances, the lamp above the sun visor will go out automatically after a few
minutes. This prevents the 12-volt battery from discharging.
Sun blind in the glass roof
Injuries can be sustained if you do not take care when folding the exterior mirrors in and
out.
•Only fold the exterior mirrors in or out when there is no obstacle in the path of the
mirror.
•Always ensure that no fingers are caught between the exterior mirror and the foot of
the mirror when the exterior mirror is moved.
WARNING
•Always fold in exterior mirrors before using an automatic car wash.
•Do not fold electrically folding exterior mirrors in or out manually as this can damage
the electric motor.
NOTICE
Driving with the sun visors folded down and the sun blinds pulled out can reduce your
view of the road.
•Sun visors and sun blinds should always be replaced in their holder if they are not
being used.
WARNING

m/k/a995MK Vehicles with manual gearbox: change from first to second gear immediately
after setting off. Change to higher gears rapidly.
m/k/a995MK Vehicles with DSG dual clutch gearbox: accelerate slowly and avoid using the
kickdown function.
Gear-change indicator ⇒ Gear-change indicator.
Eco driving profile ⇒ Driving profile selection and 4MOTION Active Control.
Avoid full throttle
Never fully use the maximum speed of the vehicle. Driving at excessive speeds, e.g. above 130
km/h on the motorway, will increase air resistance and thus the amount of force needed to move
the vehicle.
Reduce idling
Drive off immediately with low revs. 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 will switch off automatically when the
vehicle is stopping and when the vehicle is stationary ⇒ Start/stop system .
Refuel with moderation
A full fuel tank increases the weight of the vehicle. A fuel tank that is half to three quarters full is
sufficient for urban journeys in particular.
Avoid short journeys
A cold engine has a very high fuel consumption. The optimum operating temperature is reached
only after driving a few miles. The fuel consumption is above average at very low ambient
temperatures, e.g. in winter ⇒ Fig. 116. Plan journeys economically and combine short distances.
Carry out regular maintenance
Regular maintenance is an essential prerequisite for economical driving and increases the service
life of the vehicle.
Observe the correct tyre pressures
An inadequate tyre pressure does not just mean greater wear, but also increases the rolling
resistance of the tyres and thus the fuel consumption. Use optimised rolling resistance tyres.
Adjust the tyre pressure according to the vehicle 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 systems.
Use low viscosity engine oil
Fully synthetic engine oils with a low viscosity decrease frictional resistance in the engine and
spread better and more quickly, especially for 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.
In order to keep the drag coefficient of the vehicle as low as possible, remove attachments and
add-on parts such as ski, bicycle or roof carriers after use.
Save electrical energy
The alternator is driven by the engine and generates power for convenience consumers such as the
air conditioning system, window heating and ventilation. Saving electrical energy is easy, e.g.:
•At high ambient temperatures, ventilate the car before starting a journey and drive a short
distance with open window. Only then switch on the air conditioning system.
•Switch off convenience systems as soon as they have served their purpose.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.

Careless or unsupervised use of the vehicle key can lead to accidents or injuries.
•Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. The engine can
be started and electrical equipment such as the window controls can be operated. This
can cause serious injury.
•Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle when the
vehicle is locked. They could become trapped in the vehicle in an emergency and may
not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected
to very high or very low temperatures depending on the season. This can cause
serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially among small children.
•Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock when the vehicle is in motion. The
steering column lock may be activated and you will no longer be able to steer the
vehicle.
•The key bit in the vehicle key needs to be folded out fully and locked in position.
•Only attach light objects weighing under 100 g to the vehicle key.
WARNING
The 12-volt vehicle battery may run down and prevent the motor from restarting if the
ignition is switched on while the engine is switched off.
•Always switch off the ignition before leaving the vehicle.
NOTICE

Progressive steering
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, progressive steering can adjust the force of the steering
movement in a driving situation. Progressive steering only functions when the engine is running.
In urban driving, smaller steering movements are required when parking, manoeuvring, or turning
sharply.
When driving on country roads or on the motorway, the progressive steering provides a more
sporty, direct steering response, and a dynamic feel.

WARNING

System limits
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Front Assist has physical and system-related limitations. From the driver's perspective, some Front
Assist reactions may therefore occur unexpectedly or with a delay in certain circumstances. You
should therefore always be prepared to take full control of the vehicle if necessary.
•In tight bends.
•If the accelerator is fully depressed.
•If Front Assist is switched off or faulty.
•If TCS is switched off manually.
•If ESC is taking corrective action.
•If there is a fault in several brake lights on the vehicle or on a trailer with an electrical
connection to the vehicle ⇒.
•If the radar sensor is dirty or covered.
•If there are metal objects, e.g. tracks in the road or metal plates used in roadworks, or road
signs, above and adjacent to the road.
•If the vehicle is reversing.
•Under hard acceleration.
•In snow or heavy rain.
•In case of narrow vehicles, e.g. motorbikes.
•If vehicles are travelling slightly to the left or right of your vehicle.
•If vehicles are crossing in front of your vehicle.
•If there is oncoming traffic.
•If pedestrians are standing in front of the vehicle, approaching the vehicle, or moving in the
same direction as the vehicle.
•In complex driving situations, e.g. at traffic islands.
•In unclear traffic situations, e.g. vehicles ahead are heavily braking or turning off.
•When loads or attachment parts on other vehicles protrude to the side, rear or above the normal
dimensions of the vehicle.
Switching off Front Assist
•If the vehicle is being towed.
•If the vehicle is on a rolling road test bed.
•If the vehicle is driven in areas other than public roads.
•If the radar sensor is faulty.
•After external force on the radar sensor, e.g. after a rear-end collision.
•In the event of multiple unwanted interventions.
•If the radar sensor is covered temporarily by any auxiliary equipment, e.g. auxiliary headlights.
•If the vehicle is loaded onto a truck, car ferry or motorail train.
The intelligent Pedestrian Monitoring technology cannot overcome the laws of physics,
and functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience
afforded by the Pedestrian Monitoring system tempt you into taking any risks when
driving. The driver is always responsible for braking in time.
•If Pedestrian Monitoring issues a warning, brake your vehicle immediately depending
on the traffic situation or avoid the pedestrian.
•The Pedestrian Monitoring system cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on its
own.
•The Pedestrian Monitoring system can issue unnecessary warnings and carry out
unwanted braking interventions in complex driving situations, e.g. on a twisting main
road.
•The Pedestrian Monitoring system can issue unnecessary warnings and carry out
unwanted braking interventions when its function is impaired, e.g. if the radar sensor is
covered or its position has been changed.
•Be prepared to take over control of the vehicle yourself at all times.
WARNING
Failure to switch off Front Assist in the situations mentioned can result in accidents and
serious injuries.
