2010 VOLKSWAGEN CC sunroof

WARNING
Driving with an open luggage compartment lid can cause poi-
sonous carbon monoxide in the engine exhaust to get into the
passenger compartment.
Carbon monoxide causes drowsiness, inattentiveness, poi-
soning, and loss of consciousness. It can lead to accidents and
severe personal injuries.
Always keep the luggage compartment lid closed while driv-
ing to help keep poisonous exhaust fumes from being drawn
into the vehicle.
Never transport objects that are too large to fit completely
into the luggage area, because then the luggage compartment
lid cannot be fully closed.
If you absolutely must drive with an open luggage compart-
ment lid, do the following to reduce the risk of carbon monox-
ide poisoning:
– Close all windows and the power sunroof.
– Switch off the climate control system's air recirculation fea-
ture.
– Open all air vents in the instrument panel.
– Set the fresh air fan to the highest speed.
NOTICE
The open luggage compartment lid changes the vehicle height.
Driving a loaded vehicle

WARNING
Transporting heavy or bulky loads on the roof rack will change
the way the vehicle handles by shifting the vehicle's center of
gravity and increasing the wind drag.
Always secure the load properly with suitable and undam-
aged straps so that the load will not shift.
Cargo that is large, heavy, bulky, long or flat will have a nega-
tive effect on the vehicle's aerodynamics, center of gravity and
overall handling.
Always avoid sudden maneuvers and hard braking.
Always adapt your speed and driving to the heavier load and
the weight distribution in the vehicle. Take road, weather, traf-
fic, and visibility conditions into account as well.
NOTICE
Always remove the roof rack before driving through an auto-
matic car wash.
Your vehicle is higher when the roof rack is installed, especial-
ly when it is loaded. Compare the vehicle height with existing
clearance heights, such as underpasses and garage doors.
Always make sure that the roof rack system and anything be-
ing carried on it does not interfere with the roof antenna, the
power sunroof or the luggage compartment lid.
Make sure that the luggage compartment lid does not touch
items on the roof rack when opened.
If a roof rack is installed, fuel consumption increases due to in-
creased air resistance.

WARNING
Serious injuries can result if the emergency closing and open-
ing procedures are used carelessly.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
with the remote control vehicle key. This could result in people
being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-
ing on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in
the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher
than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly
to small children.
WARNING
Careless opening and closing of the doors, the luggage com-
partment lid, and the power sunroof is dangerous and can
cause serious personal injury.
Open or close the doors, the luggage compartment lid, and
the power sunroof only when no one is in the way.
NOTICE
If the vehicle's battery fails or the power windows won't work,
the door windows are not lowered when the door is opened or
closed. Always close and open the door carefully to help prevent
damage to the window, the paint, or the rubber seal.
NOTICE
To help prevent vehicle damage, carefully remove and properly
reinstall parts after emergency locking or unlocking.
