The "Normal" programme is active if neither® nor ®light up in the button. The selected programme will remain set even after the ignition has been switched off.
A WARNING
Adjusting the damping setting could alter the vehicle handling. The adaptive chassis con-trol must never tempt you into taking any risks when driving.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con-ditions.
m If there is a fault in the adaptive chassis con-l!:J trol, the displays® and 0 will flash in the but-ton. The driving comfort of the vehicle could be af-fected until the fault is fixed. Go to a qualified work-shop and have the system checked. <1

A WARNING
The intelligent tyre monitoring system tech-nology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Incorrect handling of the wheels and tyres can lead to a sudden loss of pressure in the tyres, tread separation and even tyre blow-out.
• Check tyre pressures regularly and always maintain the specified tyre pressure value =>page 367. If the tyre pressure is too low, it is possible that the tyre temperature will in· crease to such an extent that the tread peels off and the tyre bursts.
• Always maintain correct cold tyre pres-sure as listed on the tyre pressure label =>page 367.
• Check tyre Inflation pressure regularly when the tyres are cold. Adjust tyre pressure in the cold tyre to the recommended tyre pressure for the tyres Installed on your vehi· cle as necessary.
• Check your tyres regularly for signs of wear or damage.
• Never exceed the top speed and load per-mitted for the fitted tyres.
CD
If valve caps are missing, the valve could be damaged. Always use valve caps that comply with the factory-fitted valve cap specifications. Always screw on valve caps fully. Do not use metal valve caps.
Indicator lamp
Under-inflated tyres will increase fuel con-W sumption and tyre wear. A higher tyre pres-sure generally reduces the fuel consumption. How-ever, the maximum tyre pressures specified by the manufacturer must always be adhered to.
m When new tyres are driven at high speeds for L!..J the first time, they can expand slightly and trigger a one-off pressure warning.
m Old tyres should only be replaced by tyres L!..J that have been approved by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles for the vehicle type.
m Do not rely solely on the tyre monitoring sys-L!..J tern. Check your tyres regularly to ensure that they are properly inflated and have no signs of damage, such as punctures, cuts, cracks, and blis-ters. Remove any objects that become embedded in the tyre tread but have not penetrated into the body of the tyre itself.
m The tyre monitoring system is adjusted for L!..J the factory-recommended tyre pressures to be found on the tyre pressure label. ro First read and observe the introductory Information and safety warnings & on page 318.

(l) System faulty. ed off and back on again and if it is not possi-ble to calibrate the tyre monitoring system, please go to a qualified workshop. Have the system checked.
•I Indicator lamp flashes for around 1 minute and then lights continuously.
Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the lgnilion is switched on. They will go out after a few seconds.
A WARNING
Differing tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can cause tyre failure, the loss of vehicle control, accidents, serious in-jury and death.
• If the Indicator lamp (l) lights up, stop the vehicle as soon as possible and check all the tyres.
• Different tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can Increase wear on the tyres, reduce vehicle stability and Increase the braking distance.
• Differing tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can cause sudden tyre failure and lead to a tyre burst and the loss of con-trol over the vehicle.
• The driver Is responsible for the correct tyre pressure of all tyres on the vehicle. The recommended tyre pressure can be found on the tyre pressure label 367.
• The tyre monitoring system cannot func-tion correctly until all cold wheels have the correct tyre pressure.
• The use of Incorrect tyre pressures can cause accidents and tyre damage. All tyres must always have the correct tyre pressure to suit the vehicle load.
• Always Inflate all tyres to the correct tyre pressure before every journey.
• If driven with Insufficient pressure, the tyre flexes more. This could warm up the tyre to such an extent that the tread may separate and the tyre could burst.
• High speeds and overloading of the vehi-cle may cause the tyres to heat up to such an extent that the tyre bursts, leading you to lose control of the vehicle.

A WARNING (Continued)
• If the tyre pressure Is too low or too high, the tyres will wear prematurely and the vehl-cle will not handle well.
• If the tyre Is not flat and it Is not necessary to change the wheel immediately, drive at low speed to the nearest qualified workshop and check and correct the tyre pressure.
A WARNING
Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle breaking down In traffic, and can cause acci-dent and serious injury.
• Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.
• Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
CD
Failure to observe Illuminated Indicator lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle be-Ing damaged.
m If the tyre pressure is too low and this is de-L!..) tected while driving, the yellow indicator lamp lights up (l). An acoustic warning is also given, and a text notification may also be shown.
m If a system fault is detected while the ignition L!..J is switched on, the yellow Indicator lamp flashes (l) for around one minute and then lights up steadily. A text notification may also be displayed.
m Driving on unpaved roads for a long time or a L!..J sporty driving style could temporarily deacti-vate the tyre monitoring system. The Indicator lamp shows the functional fault, but disappears if the road conditions or driving style change.

m If the cooling system is switched off. the out-W side air that is drawn into the vehicle is not dehumidified. To prevent the windows misting over, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that you leave the air conditioning (air conditioning co'!!E.'"essor) switched on. To do this, press the @ button. The indicator lamp in the button must light up.
m Maximum heat output, which is needed to de-W frost the windows as quickly as possible, is only available when the engine has reached its op-erating temperature.

• Never switch off the blowers or switch on the air recirculatlon mode for an extended pe-riod as this prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle Interior. Information on the air conditioning system
.........r'n First read and observe the Introductory L-.lr:.ll Information and safety warnings & on page 322.
The cooling system for the vehicle interior only works when the engine is running and the blower is switched on.
The air conditioning system operates most effec-tively with the windows and the sliding/tilting roof closed. However, if the vehicle has heated up after standing in the sun for some time, the air inside can be cooled more quickly by opening the win-dows and the sliding/tilting roof for a short time.
Settings for optimal road visibility
Switching the cooling system on not only reduces the temperature of the vehicle interior, but also the humidity. This improves comfort for the vehicle oc-cupants and prevents the windows from misting when the outside humidity is high.
Climatic
• Switch off air recirculation mode 330.
• Set the blowers to the required level.
• Set the temperature to +22•c (+72.F).
• Open and position all vents on the dash panel 329.
• Turn the air distribution controller to the desired position.
• Press the@) button to switch the cooling sys-tem on. The indicator lamp in the button lights up.
328 I While driving
Cllmatronlc
• Press button.
• Set the temperature to +22•c (+72.F).
• Open and position all vents on the dash panel 329.
The cooling system cannot be switched on
The following criteria may prevent the cooling sys-tem from being switched on:
• The engine is not running.
• The blower is switched off.
• The air conditioning system fuse has blown.
• The ambient temperature is lower than approxi-mately +3"C (+38°F).
• The compressor has been temporarily switched off because the coolant temperature is too high.
• There is a different fault in the vehicle. The air conditioning system should be checked by a quali-fied workshop.
Things to note
If the humidity and temperature outside the vehicle are high, condensation can drip off the evaporator in the cooling system and form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a
