The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System only functions in frontal, side and rear collisions if the airbag control unit registers the corresponding trig-gering threshold during the accident, and the acci-dent occurs at a speed greater than 10 km/h (6 m ph).
The ESC brakes the vehicle automatically, provi-ded that the hydraulic braking system, the ESC and the electrical system are undamaged in the accident and remain functional.
The following actions override automatic braking in the event of an accident:
• When the driver depresses the accelerator. No automatic braking occurs.
• When the brake pressure transmitted through the depressed brake pedal is greater than the brake pressure provided by the system. The vehi-cle is braked manually.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The ABS prevents the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied up until the point where the vehicle is nearly stationary and assists the driver in steering the vehicle and keeping it under control. This means that the vehicle is less likely to spin, even when the brakes are depressed fully:
• Depress and hold the brake pedal with force. Do not take your foot off the brake pedal or reduce the force on the brake pedal.
• Do not pump the brake pedal or reduce the pressure on the brake pedal.
• Steer the vehicle while the brake pedal is fully depressed.
• The ABS will switch off when the brake pedal is released or if the pressure on the brake pedal is reduced.
If the ABS is taking corrective action, there is a pulsing movement in the brake pedal and some noise. However, ABS will not necessarily guaran-tee shorter braking distances in a// conditions. The braking distance could even be longer when brak-ing on gravel or on fresh snow covering an icy or slippery surface.
Brake Assist system (BAS)
The Brake Assist system can help to reduce the braking distance. The Brake Assist system reinfor-ces brake pressure when the driver depresses the brake pedal quickly in an emergency situation. As a result, full braking power is made accessible very quickly, braking power is reinforced and the brak-ing distance reduced. This means that the ABS is activated more quickly and more effectively.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal. The Brake Assist system will switch off the brake servo automatically when the brake pedal is re-leased or if the pressure on the brake pedal is re-duced.
Traction control system (TCS)
The TCS reduces the engine output if wheels pin occurs and adapts the output to suit road surface conditions. TCS helps the car to start moving, ac-celerate and climb gradients in unfavourable road conditions.
The TCS can be switched on and off manually 276.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
The EDL is available for normal driving on straight roads. EDL brakes the wheel that has lost traction and distributes the driving force to the other drive wheels. To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel from overheating, the EDL cuts out automat-ically if subjected to excessive loads. The EDL will switch on again automatically when the brake has cooled down.
A WARNING
Driving fast on icy, slippery or wet roads can lead to a loss of control of the vehicle and could cause serious injury to the driver and passengers.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con-ditions. Do not Jet the extra safety afforded by the brake support systems ABS, BAS, EDL, TCS and ESC tempt you into taking any risks when driving.
• The Intelligent technology of the brake support systems cannot overcome the Jaws of physics or system-related vehicle limita-tions. Slippery and wet roads will remain dan-gerous, even when the ESC and other sys-tems are active.
• Driving too fast on wet roads can cause the wheels to Jose contact with the road sur-face and aquaplane. The vehicle cannot be braked, steered or controlled once it has lost contact with the road surface.
• Brake support systems cannot prevent an accident if, for example, you are driving too close to the vehicle in front or are driving too fast for the individual situation. .,.
Starting the engine, changing gear and parking 275

should be replaced at a qualified workshop. Volks-wagen Commercial Vehicles dealers are kept up to date with regard to any changes.
A WARNING
Unsuitable service fluids and consumables, and the Incorrect use of these fluids and con-sumables, can cause accidents, serious inju-ries, burns or poisoning.
• Service fluids must be kept In their origi-nal sealed container.
• Never store service fluids In empty food containers, bottles or any other non-original containers as people finding these containers could drink them.
• Keep children away from all service fluids and consumables.
• Always read and follow the Information and warnings on the service fluid packaging.
Repairs and technical modifications
.....-T'n First read and observe the Introductory l-J,::JJ Information and safety warnings & on page 394.
Repairs and modifications must always be car-ried out according to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles specifications =:ob:,!
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic com-ponents or software in the vehicle may cause faults. As the electronic components are linked to-gether in networks. other systems may be affected by the faults. This can seriously impair safety, lead to excessive wear of components, and also invalid-ate the type approval for the vehicle.
The Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealer can-not be held liable for any damage caused by tech-nical modifications and/or work performed incor-rectly.

A WARNING (Continued)
• When using products that give off harmful fumes, always work outdoors or In a well-ventilated area.
• Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, nail varnish remover or other volatile fluids for vehicle care. They are toxic and highly flam-mable. They could cause fires and explo-sions.
CD
• Only use suitable service fluids for refilling. Never use the wrong service fluid. Failure to observe this warning can result In serious mal-functions and engine damage.
• Optional equipment and other accessories In front of the air Inlet reduce the cooling effect of the coolant. The engine may overheat at high ambient temperatures and high engine loads.
Leaking service fluids can pollute the envi-C!IS ronment. Spilt service fluids must be collec-ted in suitable containers and disposed of properly and with respect for the environment. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that all repairs and technical modifications be per-formed by an authorised Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles workshop using Volkswagen Genuine Parts®.
Vehicles with special auxiliary equipment or body parts
The manufacturer of these components must en-sure that these parts (fittings) adhere to the stipula-ted environmental laws and regulations, particular-ly the EU directive 2000/53/EC concerning end-of-life vehicles and EU directive 2003/11/EC concern-ing the restriction on the marketing and use of cer-tain dangerous substances and preparations.
The vehicle owner should keep all assembly docu-mentation for these auxiliary fittings, and pass it on to any scrapping company later engaged. This is to facilitate environmentally responsible disposal for all vehicles, Including refitted vehicles.
Windscreen repairs
To function properly, some items of equipment re-quire a camera or sensor, which Is located on the inside of the windscreen near the interior mirror. If the windscreen in the viewing field of the camera ,..

• Use unleaded petrol only.
• Do not allow the fuel tank to run empty.
• Do not overfill engine oil 353.
• Do not tow-start the vehicle. Use jump leads 443.
If you notice misfiring, uneven running or loss of power when the vehicle is moving, reduce speed Immediately. The vehicle should be inspected at
Diesel particulate filter
r-f'n First read and observe the Introductory L-J,:,.IJ Information and safety warnings & on page 407.
The diesel particulate filter filters out soot particles in the exhaust gas. The soot particles gather in the filter and are burnt under high temperatures peri-odically (regeneration). Heat produced can warm the engine.
Regeneration can cause noises, light smells and delay in radiator fan irrespective of the outside temperature, even after the engine is switched off.
To assist the regeneration of diesel particle filter, Volkswagen recommends that you avoid making only short journeys. In vehicles with a DSG® dual clutch gearbox the engine speed can increase while the vehicle is being driven. However, the indi-cator lamp • will not light up.
Observe the following points to ensure that the ex-haust system and the diesel particulate filter will work properly for a long time:
the nearest qualified workshop. If this happens, un-bumt fuel can enter the exhaust system and es-cape into the atmosphere. The catalytic converter can also be damaged by overheating.
Even when the exhaust purification system is W working perfectly, there may be a smell of sulphur from the exhaust in some conditions. This depends on the sulphur content of the fuel being used. <1
• Only use diesel with low sulphur levels 343.
• Never use biodiesel, petrol or heating oil.
• Do not allow the fuel tank to run empty.
• Do not overfill engine oil 353.
• Do not tow-start the vehicle. Use jump leads =page 443.
