Navigation data
All navigation data required for navigation is stored in the unit navigation data memory.
Street routing is subject to ongoing changes like, for example, new streets, street names or street numbers. The route guidance may be inaccurate or incorrect if the navigation data is no longer up to date. You should therefore have the unit navigation data memory updated by a Volkswagen dealer-ship on a regular basis. The updates are subject to a fee.
Possible errors in navigation
When the navigation system cannot receive any data from GPS satellites (dense canopy of trees, tunnel, underground car park), navigation can still continue using the vehicle sensors.
In areas that are not or only incompletely digitized on the data medium (such as one-way streets and street type not sufficiently captured), the navigation system also tries to enable route guidance.
Please remember that the navigation may sometimes not be so accurate as usual if the precise vehi-cle position cannot be determined.

mance, increases stopping distances and can even cause total brake failure. Your safety and the
safety of others depends on brakes that are working properly at all times ⇒ .
Brake fluid specifications
Volkswagen has developed a special brake fluid that is optimized for the brake system in your Volkswagen. Volkswagen recommends that you expressly use brake fluid that conforms to quality standard VW Standard 501 14 for optimum performance of the brake system. Check the information on the container for the brake fluid you want to use to make sure it meets the requirements for your vehicle.
Brake fluid that complies with VW Standard 501 14 can be purchased from your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
If this special brake fluid is not available you may – under these circumstances – use another high-quality brake fluid that complies with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 116 DOT 4
⇒ .
Please note, however, that not all brake fluids that comply with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4 have the same chemical composition. Some of these brake fluids can contain chemicals that could, over time, degrade or damage internal parts of the vehicle’s brake sys-tem.
Volkswagen therefore recommends that you use brake fluid that expressly complies with VW Stand-ard 501 14 for optimum brake system performance over the long term.
Brake fluid level
The fluid level in the transparent brake fluid reservoir must always be between the MIN and MAX
marking ⇒ .
On some vehicles, engine components block the view of the brake fluid reservoir and make it impossi-ble to see the brake fluid level. If you cannot clearly see the brake fluid level in the brake fluid reser-voir, please see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
The brake fluid level drops slightly when the vehicle is being used as the brake pads wear and the brakes are automatically adjusted.
Changing brake fluid
Brake fluid must be changed according to the service schedule in your ⇒ Booklet Warranty and
Maintenance. Have the brake fluid checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Refill only with new brake fluid that meets the standards listed above.
WARNING
Brake failure and reduced brake performance can be caused by not having enough brake fluid in the reservoir or by old or incorrect brake fluid.
x Check the brake system and brake fluid level regularly.
x Always change the brake fluid according to the service schedule in your
⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance.
x Hard braking with old brake fluid may cause vapor lock. Vapor lock reduces braking per-formance, increases stopping distances and can even cause total brake failure.
x Always make sure that only the correct brake fluid is used. Only use brake fluid that ex-pressly conforms to VW Standard 501 14 or, if it is not available, only use a high-quality brake fluid that conforms to U.S. Standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4 requirements.
x Using another brake fluid, or one that is not of high quality, can impair the function of the brake system and reduce its effectiveness. If the container does not say that the brake fluid complies with VW Standard 501 14, or U.S. Standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4, do not use it.
x The brake fluid must be new.

By depressing the gas pedal while the vehicle is standing still and ACC is active, the vehicle will ac-celerate. Once you take your foot off the pedal, ACC will automatically resume the stored speed and regulate the set distance.
ACC will not automatically accelerate if the vehicle ahead accelerates.
Distance (time interval) to the vehicle ahead and driving profiles
The distance the ACC maintains to the vehicle traveling ahead is determined by time intervals. A time distance to the vehicle traveling ahead is maintained. This results in a speed-dependent distance. The
higher the speed, the larger the distance in feet/meters ⇒ .
The distance can be set at 4 different levels:

Distance Time distance at 65 mph
(105 km/h)
Very small about 1,0 Seconds
Small about 1,3 Seconds
Medium about 1,8 Seconds
Large about 2,5 Seconds

Besides changing the time distance, the acceleration characteristics can be changed, by choosing on of the following driving profiles:
x Comfort
x Normal
x Sport
The distance intervals can be set by pushing the slider switch on the lever ⇒ fig. 273. The driving profile can only be set in the infotainment system .
Always select a greater following distance to the vehicle ahead on wet roads than on dry roads.
Setting the distance and selecting a driving profile
In order to show the currently selected distance in the instrument cluster display, briefly tap the sliding
switch on the lever ⇒ fig. 273.

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

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.

Emergency starting and starting the engine with a very weak vehicle battery or after the vehicle battery has been replaced may change or delete system settings (including time, date, personal con-venience settings and programming). Check the settings and correct as necessary once the vehicle battery has built up a sufficient charge.
Climatronic controls

Using diesel fuel with concentrations of methyl ester biodiesel higher than 20 % (B20), such as B100 is still contrary to the terms of your Emission warranties or any other Volkswagen Limited Warranty and remains strictly prohibited.
Biodiesel blends (up to B20) may be used in your Illinois registered TDI® Clean Diesel vehicle; howev-er, please be aware that biodiesel has characteristics that are different from other kinds of fuel, espe-cially petroleum-based fuels.
Biodiesel can attract water and also deteriorate with age. Small amounts of biodiesel can get into the engine oil, but unlike petroleum diesel, it does not evaporate over time. This can cause the oil level in the engine to rise and can affect the quality of the oil.
x Routinely check the engine oil level. A good time to do this is when you refuel, especially if you regularly do a lot of short distance or stop-and-go driving. This will help you see if the engine oil level is getting higher. (A rising oil level beyond the maximum indicator means an oil change is needed due
to the dilution of the oil in the system; a potential characteristic of biodiesel use) ⇒ page 590, Checking the engine oil level and adding oil.
x If you ever notice that the engine oil level has risen or is above the maximum indicator, contact your authorized Volkswagen dealer, authorized Volkswagen Service Facility or Volkswagen Customer CARE to schedule an oil change – regardless of the time or mileage that has elapsed since you last had an oil change performed.
x Continue to follow the oil change intervals found in the Warranty and Maintenance booklet that came with your vehicle, and use only engine oil that expressly complies with Volkswagen quality standard VW 507 00.
x Refuel only at trusted, commercial fueling stations that are located near main highways. These stations are more likely to have “fresh” biodiesel fuels that have not aged significantly.
x If your vehicle will be in storage (or not driven) for several weeks or months, please completely fill the fuel tank. If possible, fill the tank with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel [ASTM D-975 standard Grade No. 2-D (S15)].

WARNING
Starting fluids can explode and cause a run-away vehicle condition.
x Never use starting assist fluids.
NOTICE
x The vehicle's diesel engine was designed solely for use with ULSD fuel. For this reason, never use gasoline, heating oil, or other fuels that have not been expressly approved for use with the diesel engine. These fuels contain substances that will severely damage the fuel sys-tem and the engine. Such damage will not be covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty.
x If you put any amount of the 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.
x If diesel fuel should get on any rubber hose, it must be wiped off immediately. The same applies if diesel fuel gets onto other parts of the vehicle, especially paint, tires, or a plastic part. Wash the contaminated vehicle parts right away with soap and warm water to help pre-vent leaks and serious damage.

WARNING
Working on the batteries or the electrical system in your vehicle can cause serious acid burns, fires, explosions, or electrical shocks. Always read and heed the following WARNINGS and safety precautions before working on the batteries or the electrical system.
x Before working on the electrical system, always switch off the ignition and all electrical consumers and disconnect the negative cable (–) from the standard 12 Volt vehicle battery.
x When you change a light bulb, always switch off the light first.
x Always keep children away from battery acid and vehicle batteries in general.
x Always wear eye protection. Never let battery acid or lead particles come into contact with your eyes, skin, or clothing.
x Sulfuric battery acid is very corrosive. It can burn unprotected skin and cause blindness. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection. To reduce your risk of injury, never tilt the batteries, as this could spill acid through the vents and burn you.
x If you get battery acid in your eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse with cold water for several minutes and then get immediate medical attention. If you swallow any battery acid, get medical attention immediately.
x When disconnecting the batteries from the vehicle electrical system, always disconnect the negative cable (–) first and then the positive cable (+).
x Always switch off all electrical consumers before reconnecting 12 Volt vehicle batteries. Reconnect the plus cable (+) first and then the negative cable (–). Never reverse the polarity of the connections. This could cause a fire.
x A highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the battery is being charged.
x Do not smoke and avoid fires, sparks, and open flames when working. Never create sparks or electrostatic charges when handling cables and electrical equipment. Never short circuit the battery terminals. High-energy sparks can cause serious personal injury.
x Never use or attempt to charge a damaged or frozen battery, or a battery that was frozen but has thawed. Charging a frozen or thawed battery could cause explosions and chemical burns! Replace damaged or frozen vehicle batteries immediately. A dead battery can freeze at temperatures around +32 °F (0 °C).
x If the battery has a vent line or tube, make sure that this it is properly connected to the battery.
x Always make sure that the vent line is securely attached to a vehicle battery that is located in the luggage compartment.
