Warning and information displays
The system checks certain components and functions in the vehicle when the ignition is switched
on or while the vehicle is in motion. Functional faults are indicated by warning symbols on the

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The steps should only be carried out in the specified order.

1.Depress the brake pedal and hold it until
step 5 has been completed.Turn the vehicle key to position ⇒ Fig. 93①.
2.Fully depress the clutch pedal until the
engine has been started.
Depress the brake pedal and hold it until
step 5 has been completed.
3.Shift the gear stick to a neutral position.Place the selector lever in position N.
4.Turn the vehicle key in the ignition lock to position ⇒ Fig. 93② \f

After the engine is switched off, the radiator fan in the engine compartment may run on for
some minutes, even if the ignition is switched off or the vehicle key has been removed. The radiator
fan will switch itself off automatically.
Electronic immobilizer
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The immobilizer helps to prevent the engine from being started and driven with an unauthorised
vehicle key.
There is a chip in the key. It automatically deactivates the immobilizer when the vehicle key is
inserted into the ignition lock.
The electronic immobilizer is automatically activated when the vehicle key is removed from the
ignition lock.
The engine can only be started using a genuine Volkswagen vehicle key with the correct code.
Coded vehicle keys are available from a Volkswagen dealership ⇒ Vehicle key set.
If a non-authorised vehicle key has been used, the display in the instrument cluster will show
. The vehicle cannot be used if this occurs. Remove the non-authorised vehicle key from
the ignition lock and used an authorised vehicle key.
The vehicle cannot be operated properly if you do not have a genuine Volkswagen key.

 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Warning and indicator lamp
⇒ Pedals
⇒ Manual gearbox: selecting a gear
⇒ Automated manual gearbox: selecting a gear
⇒ Changing gear with Tiptronic
⇒ Driving with an automated manual gearbox
⇒ Fault in the automated manual gearbox
⇒ Gear-change indicator (manual gearboxyf
The following will occur if reverse gear is selected and the ignition is
switched on:
\f

Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the ignition is
switched on. They will switch off after a few seconds.
Pedals
Fig. 94 Pedals in vehicles with a manual gearbox: ① accelerator, ② brake pedal, ③ clutch pedal
Fig. 95 Pedals in vehicles with an automated manual gearbox: ① accelerator, ② brake pedal
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The operation and freedom of movement of all pedals must never be impaired by objects or floor
mats.
Only use floor mats that leave the pedal area free and can be securely fastened in the footwell.
If a brake circuit fails, you will have to depress the brake pedal further than normal in order to bring
the vehicle to a stop.
Manual gearbox: selecting a gear
Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle
breaking down in traffic, and can cause accident and serious injury.

DesignationMeaning ⇒
Reverse gearReverse gear is selected.
May only be selected when the vehicle is stationary.
Neutral
The gearbox is in the neutral position. No force is transmitted
to the wheels and the braking effect of the engine is not
available.
Standard forward
driving position
All forward gears are shifted up and down automatically. The
timing of the gear shift is determined by the engine load, your
individual driving style and the speed of the vehicle.
Tiptronic position
for forward travel
(manual shift
programmeyf
All forward gears can be shifted up and down manually
⇒ Changing gear with Tiptronic. This remains the case until
the system does not perform or prevents a gear change due to
the current driving situation.
If the lever is moved accidentally to N when driving, take your foot off the accelerator. Wait
for the engine revs in the neutral position before selecting a position again.
Changing gear with Tiptronic
Engaging an incorrect selector lever position can cause you to lose control of the vehicle,
which can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
\f

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
With Tiptronic the gears in an automated manual gearbox can be shifted up and down manually.
The gear that is currently selected will be maintained when the Tiptronic programme is selected.
This remains the case until the system does not perform a gear change due to the current driving
situation.
