Selecting a programme
• Switch on the ignition.
• Press the (ili) button repeatedly until the re-quired programme Is displayed.
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.

Function and control
Fig. 253 In the stowage compartment on the front passenger side: button for the tyre monitoring sys-tem.
l"'"""f'n First read and observe the Introductory l.-J,.:,LL Information and safety warnings & on page 318.
The tyre monitoring system uses data from the ASS sensors and other functions to check the speed of rotation and the rolling circumference of the individual wheels. The rolling circumference of the wheels changes, if the tyre pressure is too low. This is then shown by the tyre monitoring sys-tem ill in the instrument cluster.
The operation of the tyre monitoring system is im-paired:
• If the tyre pressure has been changed manual-ly.
• If the tyre has structural damage.
• If the vehicle Is loaded more heavily on one side.
• If the wheels on one axle are loaded more heavily, e.g. high load level.
• If snow chains have been fitted.
• If one wheel per axle has been changed.
• When driving with a heavy trailer attached.
• If you are driving under winter conditions or on unsurfaced roads.
• When driving fast with hard acceleration and braking manoeuvres.
Synchronising the tyre monitoring system
The tyre monitoring system will have to be re-synchronised after changing the tyre pressure, or after changing one or more wheels. This also ap-plies for changing the wheels, e.g. from the front to the rear, and for changing from summer tyres to winter tyres.
The saved values must be reset before the system can be resynchronised.
• Switch on the ignition, and while the vehicle is stationary
• Press and hold the =>Fig. 253 button until an acoustic confirmation signal is emitted.
• OR: with some vehicle equipment options, you can open menu option Tyre pressure in the in-strument cluster display and save the new tyre pressures there =>page 24.
Once the saved values have been reset, the sys-tem calibrates itself independently to the fitted tyres and the tyre pressures filled by the driver dur-ing normal vehicle operation. The calibrated values are adopted and monitored after a long journey at various speeds.
If the wheels are loaded more heavily than normal, e.g. if the vehicle is carrying heavy payload, the tyre pressure must be raised to the recommended full-load tyre pressure before synchronisation =>page 367.
m The tyre monitoring system stops working if l!.J there is a fault in the ESC or ASS =>page 269.
m When using snow chains, an incorrect dis-l!.J play may be shown as the snow chains in-crease the tyre circumference =>page 367. Driver assist systems I 321

Additional functions that are contractually agreed with the customer, e.g. vehicle positioning in an emergency, allow certain vehicle data to be trans-mitted from the vehicle.
Event data recorder
The vehicle is not fitted with an event data record-er.
Event data recorders temporarily store vehicle in-formation. This provides precise information in the event of an accident. In vehicles with an airbag system, data that might be relevant in the event of an accident can be stored, e.g. impact speed, belt buckle status, seat positions and trigger speed. The scope of the data is manufacturer-specific.
An event data recorder may only be fitted if the owner has approved the procedure. This is cov-ered by legislation in some countries.
Reprogramming control units
All data for the control of components are stored in the control units. Some convenience functions, such as lane change flash, single door unlocking and displays, can be reprogrammed using special workshop equipment. If this is the case, the de-scriptions in your vehicle wallet will no longer cor-respond with the original functions. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that any re-programming should be confirmed in the service schedule under "Workshop comments".
Information about possible reprogramming can be obtained from the Volkswagen dealership.
Reading the vehicle's event memory
There is a diagnostic interface for reading the event memories in the vehicle interior &. Data relating to the function and status of the electronic control units are stored in the event memory. Addi-tional information on the stored data is available from qualified workshops.
The diagnosis interface is located in the footwell on the driver side behind a cover next to the lever for opening the bonnet.
The event memory should only be read and reset by a qualified workshop.
After a fault has been rectified, the information in the memory pertaining to the fault is deleted. Other memory content is overwritten on an on-going ba-sis.
A WARNING
Incorrect use of the diagnostic Interface can cause faults, which can result in accidents and serious injuries.
• Never read the event memory using the di-agnostic Interface yourself.
• The diagnostic Interface should only be read by a qualified workshop. Using a mobile telephone in the vehicle without a connection to the
external aerial
,...--.m First read and observe the introductory L--I=>U information and safety warnings & on page 394.
Both during telephone calls and in standby mode, mobile telephones transmit and receive radio waves, which may also be termed "high-frequency energy". Current scientific literature warns us that radio waves can be harmful to human beings if they exceed certain limits. Government bodies and international committees have introduced threshold values and guidelines to ensure that electromag-netic radiation produced by mobile telephones does not pose a hazard to health. However, there is no proven scientific evidence that demonstrates that cordless telephones are absolutely safe.
For this reason, some experts are calling for more precautions to be taken in the use of mobile tele-phones, by taking steps to reduce the level of per-sonal exposure to electromagnetic radiation.
If a mobile telephone that is not connected to the vehicle's external aerial is used inside the vehicle, the level of electromagnetic radiation could be higher than when the mobile telephone is connec-ted to an integrated aerial or any other external aerial.
If the vehicle is fitted with a suitable hands-free unit which enables the use of innumerable additional functions of Bluetooth® compatible mobile tele-phones, this will satisfy the legal requirements in many countries which permit the use of a mobile telephone in a vehicle only if a hands-free unit is used.
The factory-fitted hands-free system in your vehicle has been developed for use with mobile tele-phones that are compatible with Bluetooth®_ Mo-bile telephones must be carried in a suitable tele-phone holder or be stored securely in the vehicle. If a telephone holder is used it must be securely at-tached to the base plate. This is the only way to .,.
