wheel VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG 2010 Repair Manual

There are 2 radar sensors next to the fog lights on the vehicle front (3). These can detect moving vehicles up to 590 ft (180 m) in front of your vehicle.
The areas of the sensors (2) and (3) and the camera (1) must not be spray painted on or covered by stickers or other objects, since this can lead to a malfunction of the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and the Front Assist system.
NOTICE
If you notice that Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) or Front Assist doesn't work properly or the sensors are damaged, switch off ACC immediately.
x Go see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance and have the ACC system checked.
x The sensors can be damaged or become misaligned in low speed impacts and parking maneuvers. Damaged or misaligned sensors can cause ACC or Front Assist to malfunction.
x To help make sure that the system works properly, always keep the sensors clean, free of snow and ice; do not cover the sensors with stickers or other objects.
x When cleaning the sensors with power washers or steam cleaners, only spray the sensors directly for a very short time, and always keep the washer nozzle at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the sensors.
x For Declaration of Compliance to United States FCC and Industry Canada regulations
Always keep the area of the Front Assist camera clear of ice and snow.

WARNING
The Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) technology cannot overcome the laws of physics and system-related limits. The driver is always responsible for braking in time. If the Forward Collision Warning system issues a warning, immediately apply the brake to slow the vehicle down or avoid the obstacle, depending on the traffic situation.
x Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility condi-tions.
x The Forward Collision Warning system cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.
x The Forward Collision Warning system can issue unnecessary warnings in certain com-plex driving situations, for example, at traffic islands.
x The Forward Collision Warning system can issue unnecessary warnings when its function is impaired, for example, if the radar sensor is dirty or if the position of the radar sensor has been changed.
x The Forward Collision Warning system does not react to people, animals, or vehicles crossing or approaching in the same lane.
x Always be prepared to take full control of the vehicle at all times.
NOTICE
If you notice that the Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) doesn't work properly or the sensors are damaged, switch off the Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) immediately.
x Go see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance and have the Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) checked.
If the Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) initiates a braking maneuver, the hydraulic braking system is under pressure. In this case the braking pedal will feel “harder” and the brake pedal travel will be shorter.
Automatic braking maneuvers can be interrupted by depressing the gas pedal or moving the steering wheel.
Deactivate the Forward Collision Warning system if it does not work as described in this chapter, for example, if multiple unwanted warnings occur. Have the system checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Temporarily switch off the Forward Collision Warning system (Front
Assist) in the following situations

The Autonomous Emergency Braking function should be deactivated by switching off the Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) in following situations:
x When the vehicle is being towed.
x When the vehicle is on a roller test stand.
x When the vehicle is off road, like on construction sites or on race tracks.
x When one of the sensors is defect.
x When the sensors have been damaged, like after a frontal collision accident.
x After several false alarms in a row.
x If the sensors are covered by additional parts, like auxiliary headlights.
x If the vehicle is driving on steep terrain or on or across slopes.
WARNING
Always remember that the Autonomous Emergency Braking function has limits – it will not release you from the responsibility to control and slow down your vehicle.
x The Autonomous Emergency Braking function alone cannot avoid accidents and fatal injuries.
x Under certain circumstances and complex traffic situations the Autonomous Emergency Braking function can perform unwanted braking maneuvers, like in construction sites.
x Soiled or misaligned radar sensors can lead to unwanted braking maneuvers
x The Autonomous Emergency Braking function does not react to people, animals, crossing traffic or vehicles that are approaching you on the same lane.
x Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between you and the vehicles ahead of you to the road, traffic, weather, and visibility conditions.
x Never follow a vehicle so closely that you cannot stop your vehicle safely, under certain circumstances the automatic braking function cannot bring the vehicle to a stop in time.
x Never allow the closing speed between you and other vehicles to be so high that the Au-tonomous Emergency Braking function may not be able to slow your vehicle safely. If closing speed is too high, you must apply the brakes yourself to reduce the risk of a rear-end crash.
x Always be prepared to takeover the control of the brake and the gas pedal in every situa-tion.
NOTICE
If you notice that the Autonomous Emergency Braking function doesn't work properly or the sensors are damaged, switch off the Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) and therefore the Autonomous Emergency Braking function immediately.
x Go see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance and have the system checked.
If the Autonomous Emergency Braking function initiates a braking maneuver, the hydraulic brak-ing system is under pressure. In this case the braking pedal will feel “harder” and the brake pedal travel will be shorter.
Automatic braking maneuvers can be interrupted by depressing the gas pedal or moving the steering wheel.
The Autonomous Emergency Braking function can slow your vehicle down to a standstill, but not hold your vehicle permanently. When necessary, apply the vehicle brakes!

Function key
Warning time setting : After touching the Warning time setting or z func-
tion key, you can choose between early, medium and late.
Steering wheel vibration : After touching the Steering wheel vibration or z
function key, you can choose between low, medium and strong.

Setting the warning time

Menu option Meaning
Early The system has a low tolerance level and warns
you early if you come too close to a side marking.
Medium Original setting.
Late The system has a high tolerance level and warns
you late if you come too close to a side marking.

The warning time setting defines the distance from your vehicle to the side markings. An early warning time means that the distance to the side markings has to be high in order for Lane Assist not to trigger a warning.
The time of the warning is also dependent on the approach angle to the side marking and the driving speed. If, for example, you approach a road marking at a steeper angle, the steering wheel will start vibrating at a greater distance.
Setting the vibration level of the steering wheel

Menu option Meaning
Low Light vibration of the steering wheel.

Menu option Meaning
Medium Original setting.
Strong Intensive vibration of the steering wheel.

The factory settings of the warning time and the vibration level are set to Medium.

x Press the CLIMATE Infotainment button.
x Tap the Extras function key.
x Switch automatic air recirculation on or off by tapping the Automatic air recirculation function key.
If the check box in the function key is checked =, automatic air recirculation is switched on.
What automatic air recirculation does
In automatic air recirculation mode, fresh air will enter the passenger compartment. If the system detects an increased concentration of pollutants in the outside air, it automatically switches to air recirculation. As soon as the pollutant level is back in the normal range, air recirculation is switched off.
Unpleasant odors cannot be detected by the system.
To keep the windows from fogging up, automatic air recirculation is not switched on automatically in certain circumstances.
WARNING
Stale air causes driver fatigue and reduces driver alertness, which can cause accidents, colli-sions and serious personal injury.
x Never use air recirculation mode over an extended period of time, since no fresh air will enter the passenger compartment.
x When the air conditioner is off and recirculation mode is on, condensation can quickly form on the windows and greatly reduce visibility.
x Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not needed.
NOTICE
Do not smoke when air recirculation is switched on. Smoke drawn into the ventilation system can leave residue on the evaporator and on the dust and pollen active carbon filter, resulting in permanent odors whenever the air conditioner is switched on.
When backing up and while the automatic wiper/washer is operating, air recirculation is briefly activated to avoid unpleasant odors in the passenger compartment. This feature only works if automat-
ic air recirculation is enabled ⇒  Switching air recirculation on and off automatically.
Heated steering wheel

The heated steering wheel function only works when the engine is running or is drive-ready (hybrid).
The steering wheel gets heated to about 77 °F (+25 °C) and holds the temperature there.
Switching the heated steering wheel function on and off
x Press the \b button in the upper center console.
x OR: Press the buttonCLIMATE on the infotainment screen and the touch the \b button to switch on or off.
Automatic deactivation
The heated steering wheel function switches off automatically, if:
x The engine is switched off.

x The heated steering wheel system malfunctions.
WARNING
Certain medical conditions, such as paralysis and diabetes, and certain medications can increase the risk of serious burns when the heated steering wheel function is switched on.
x Never use the heated steering wheel function if you or your passengers are at risk of be-ing burned because of a medical condition. Take regular breaks and get out of the vehicle, particularly on long trips. Consult your doctor for advice regarding your specific condition.

WARNING
x Even if empty, portable fuel containers can leak and cause a fire and serious personal injuries, especially in a crash.
x If, under exceptional circumstances, you must transport a portable fuel container, please observe the following:
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you do not travel with a portable fuel container in your vehicle.
– Never fill a portable fuel container while it is anywhere in or on the vehicle (for exam-ple, in the luggage compartment or on the rear hatch). Static electricity can build up while filling and can ignite fuel vapors, causing a fire.
– Always place a portable fuel container on the ground before filling. Never spill fuel inside the vehicle or luggage compartment. Fuel vapors are highly flammable.
– Always keep the filler nozzle completely inside the portable container before and dur-ing filling.
– If filling a portable container made of metal, the filler nozzle must always be in contact with the container. This will help prevent static electricity from discharging and causing a fire.
– Always observe local and state or provincial laws about the use, storage, and transpor-tation of portable fuel containers.
– Make certain that the portable fuel container meets industry standards, such as AN-SI/ASTM F852-86.
NOTICE
x Remove fuel spills from the vehicle immediately to help prevent damage to the paint, tires, and wheel housings.
x Refueling with gasoline when your vehicle has a diesel engine or refueling with diesel fuel when your vehicle has a gasoline engine can cause very serious and expensive engine and fuel system damage that is not covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty.
x If you put any amount of incorrect fuel in the fuel tank, do not start the engine under any circumstances. Immediately contact the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance. These fuels contain substances that can severely damage the fuel system and the engine if the engine is started.
x Vehicles with diesel engines must never be refueled or driven with gasoline, kerosene, heating oil, or other non-specified fuels that have not been expressly approved for use with the diesel engine. Other kinds of fuel will cause serious damage to the fuel system and the engine that is not covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty.
Fuels can pollute the environment. Spilled fuel must be collected and disposed of properly, following all applicable environmental regulations.
There is no emergency release for the fuel filler flap. Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance if necessary.
