The maxim um power rating of the individ ua l sock­
ets should never be exceeded . The power rating of
each device is stated on its type plate.

12-volt socket
The 12-volt socket will work only when the ignition
is switc hed on.
Using elec tric al app liances with the engine swit ch­
ed off and the ignition switched on will drain the
battery. Electrical consumers should therefore only
be plugged into the sockets when the engine is
running.

socket
To prevent damage due to voltage fluctuation ,
switch
oft any connected devices before switching
the ignition
or engine on or off.
12-volt socket s can be found in the following loca ­
tions in the vehicle :
• Under a cover in the lower section of the centre
console =>Fig. 124 .
• In the luggage compartment =>Fig. 125.
• Observe the operating instructions for any
device that you plug into the socket.
• Never exceed the maximum power rating as
this could damage the whole vehicle electrical
system.
• 12-volt socket:
-Only use accessories that have been ap­
proved in accordance with valid guidelines
concerning electromagnetic compatibility.
-
Never feed electricity into the socket.

The ParkPilot assists the driver when manoeuvring
and parking . If the vehicle is approaching an obsta­
cle located in the range of the ultrasound sensors ,
an intermittent acoustic warning is sounded , de­
pending on the distance . The shorter the distance ,
the shorter the intervals . The acoustic warning will
sound continuously if the obstacle is very close .
The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers transmit
and receive ultrasound waves. The system uses
the time difference between the ultrason ic waves
(i.e. between the transmission and reflection from
obstacles and the point of reception) to continu­
ously calculate the distance between the bumper
and the obstacle.

A WARNING
The ParkPilot cannot replace the full concen­
tration of the driver.
• Unintentional vehicle movements can
cause serious injury.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con­
ditions.
• Ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
Which obstacles and people cannot be detec­
ted '--.
A WARNING (Continued) ~-
• Always monitor the area around the vehi­
cle as the ultrasound sensors will not always
detect infants, animals and objects.
• Certain surfaces of objects and clothes
cannot reflect the signals from the ultrasound
sensors. The system is unable to detect
these objects or people wearing this type of
clothing, or they may be detected incorrectly.
• External sources of sound can affect the
signals of the ultrasound sensors. In certain
circumstances, the system may not recog­
nise people or objects.
A WARNING ~-.
Automatic activation of the ParkPilot only oc­
curs at very low speeds. An inappropriate
driving style can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
• Always bear in mind the time delay be­
tween the signals.
• The ultrasound sensors may not always be
able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars,
thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open or
opening tailgates. This can result in damage to
your vehicle.
• If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle
and issued a warning, the obstacle may move
out of the detection range of the sensors as the
vehicle approaches it, particularly if the object
is very high or very low. These objects are no
longer registered.
• The vehicle can sustain considerable dam­
age if the warning given by the ParkPilot is ig­
nored.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumper can
be displaced or damaged through impacts, e.g.
when parking.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers
must be kept clean and free of ice and snow
and not be covered up by stickers or other
items, as these may prevent the system from
working properly.

A WARNING ~~-~ ,c_. ""]
Incor rec t handling of the wheels and tyres
can lead to a sudden loss of pressure in the
tyres , trea d separation and even tyre blow­out.
• Check tyre pressures regularly and always
keep to the specified tyre pressure value. If
the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre could
warm up to such an extent that the tread may
separate and the tyre could burst
~e monitor indicator lamp
• Always maintain correct cold tyre inflation
pressure as listed on the tyre pressure label
=>page 308 .
• 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
w ea r or damage.
• Never exceed the top speed and load per­
mitted for the fitted tyres.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine oil specification
r-T'n First read and observe the introductory
L-WJ information and safety warnings~ on
page 281.
The engine oil used must correspond exactly to
specifications .
The correct engine oil is important for the function
and service l
ife of the engine . A special high quali­
ty multigrade oil has been filled at the factory and
th is can
normally be used as an all-season oil.
If possible , only use Volkswagen-approved engine
o il
~CD. To comply with the requirements of the
flexible service, only use approved flexible service
engine oil that
complies with the corresponding
VW standard (~table on page 282). The engine
o ils listed are
multigrade high-lubricity oils.
Engine oils are constantly being developed and
im­
proved . A Volkswagen dealership is always kept
up to date on innovations . Volkswagen therefore
recommends having engine oil changes done by a
Volkswagen dealership. The
qu
ality of the engine oil is not only ta ilor ed to
the requirements of engines and exhaust gas treat.
ment systems, but also to fuel quality . Due to the
way
in which a combustion engine works, engine
oil always comes into contact with combustion
resl­
dues and fuel, which has a kno ck-o n effect on the
ageing process of the oil.
The quality of fuels can var y gr ea tly between lndl·
vidual markets and this must be take n Into account
when selecting the correct engine oil.
The use of engine oils compliant with the
VW
504 00 und VW 507 00 specific ations requires
a fuel quality compliant with EN 228 (petrol) and
EN 590 (diesel). Engine oils compliant with
VW
504 00 und VW 507 00 are therefore unsult·
able for use in a large number of markets.
