The multifunction display (MFD) is equipped with two automatic memories: 1 -Trip memory and 2 -Total journey memory. The number of the current memory on display will be shown in the upper right-hand corner of the display.
When the Ignition Is switched on and memory 1 or 2 is shown on the display, press the@ button to switch between the two memories.
1 Trip memory
2 Total journey memory
The memory collects travel and consumption data from the moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. The memory is automatically deleted whenever the journey is interrupted for more than 2 hours. If the journey is continued within two hours of the ignition being switched off, the new values will be added to the existing trip recorder.
The memory collects journey data for any number of individual journeys up to a to-tal of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99 hours and 59 minutes journey time or 1,999.9 km (miles) or 9,999 km (miles) distance travelled. If one of these maximum limits8l is exceeded, the memory is automatically deleted and reset to 0.

r-f'n First read and observe the introductory l.-J=.U information and safety warnings.& on page 33.
Checklist
In some countries, special safety standards and emissions-related regulations apply that the vehi-cle may not comply with. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that you visit your Volkswa-gen Commercial Vehicles dealer before travelling abroad to find out about any legal requirements and the following points concerning your destina-tion:
..( Does the vehicle need any technical modifi-cations for driving abroad, e.g. masking or switching the headlights over?
..( Are the necessary tools, diagnostic equip-ment and spare parts available for service and repair work?
..( Are there any Volkswagen Commercial Ve-hicles dealerships in the country of destina-tion?
..( For petrol engines: is unleaded petrol with the correct octane number available?
34 Before the journey

..( Secure animals in the vehicle using a sys-tem that is suitable for their weight and size.
A WARNING
Always observe current traffic regulations and speed limits, and think ahead when driv-Ing. Correct interpretation of a driving situa-tion can make the difference between reach-Ing your destination safely and having an ac-cident with serious Injuries.
W Regular servicing of your vehicle not only W maintains its value, it also ensures that your vehicle remains roadworthy and in perfect working order. Servicing work should therefore be carried out in accordance with the service schedule. Some work may have to be carried out before the due date of the next service if the vehicle is subjected to severe operating conditions. Severe operating conditions are, for example, regular stop and go driving, regular driving with a trailer and driving in areas with high levels of dust. Additional informa-tion is available from your Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership or qualified workshop. ..( For diesel engines: is diesel with a low sul-phur level available?
..( Are the correct engine oil 353 and other service fluids in accordance with the specifications of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles available in the destination coun-try?
..( Will the factory-fitted navigation system work with the navigation data available in the destination country?
..( Are special tyres necessary for travelling in the destination country?
CD
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is not re-sponsible for any vehicle damage which Is caused by low-quality fuel, inadequate servic-ing work or lack of availability of Genuine Parts.

Switching main beam assist on and off manually
Function Action
Switching on -Switch on the ignition and turn the light switch to position AUTO. -Push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards from its initial position =:-page 107.
When the main beam assist is switched on, the indicator lamp w lights up in the instru-ment cluster display.
-Switch off the ignition. -OR: turn the light switch to a position other than AUTO =>page 108.
Switching off -OR: with the main beam switched on, pull the turn signal and main beam lever back-wards. -OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam. The main beam assist is then switched off.
Fault
it may not be possible to switch off the main beam quickly enough or at all using main beam assist due to the following:
• In poorly lit streets where there are highly-re-flective signs.
• When encountering other road users with insuf-ficient lighting, such as pedestrians or cydists.
• In tight bends, brows of hills or depressions in the land or half-hidden oncoming traffic.
• With oncoming traffic on streets with a central barrier where the driver can see clearly over the central barrier e. . truck drivers. g
• If the camera is broken or the power supply is interrupted.
• In fog, snow or heavy rain.
• In dusty or sandy areas.
• Damage to the windscreen in the camera's vi-sion field.
• If the viewing field of the camera is misted up, dirty, covered by a sticker, snow or ice.
A WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main beam control tempt you into taking any risks when driving-this can cause acci-dents. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
A WARNING (Continued)
• Always check the lights yourself and ad-just them to the prevailing conditions for lights, vision and road traffic.
• The main beam control may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly and may not work properly in certain situations.
• If the camera's field of view is dirty, cov-ered or damaged, the function of the main beam assist may be impaired. This also ap-plies If changes are made to the vehicle's lighting system, for example if additional headlights are fitted.
CD
Please observe the following points in order to avoid impairing the proper function of the sys-tem:
• Regularly clean the camera's field of view, and keep it free from snow and ice.
• Do not cover the camera's field of view.
• Check the area of the windscreen that Is in the camera's field of view for damage.
m The headlight flasher and the main beam can W be switched on and off manually at any time with the turn signal and main beam lever =>page 107.
m Light-emitting objects in the camera's field of W operation, e.g. mobile navigation devices, could impair the functions of the main beam assist system (Light Assist). Masking or switching over headlights for driving abroad

Depending on the model, electrical control ele-ments can be combined with mechanically adjusta-ble exterior mirrors.
A WARNING
The illuminated display from an external navi-gation device can lead to functional impair-ment of the Interior automatic anti-dazzle mir-ror and cause accidents or serious injuries.
• You may not be able to precisely deter-mine the distance from vehicles travelling be-hind you or from other objects if the automat-ic anti-dazzle function is Impaired. Mechanical exterior mirrors
• To adjust, press the edge of the mirror it until it reaches the desired position.
• To fold in, pull the mirror housing back until it engages.

A WARNING
Injuries can be sustained if you do not take care when folding the exterior mirrors in and out.
• Only fold the exterior mirrors in or out when there is nobody in the path of the mir-ror.
• Always ensure that no fingers are caught between the exterior mirror and the foot of the mirror when the exterior mirror is moved.
A WARNING
If you estimate the distance from traffic be-hind you Incorrectly, you can cause acci-dents and serious injuries.
• Curved mirrors (convex or aspheric) en-large the field of vision and can make objects in the mirror seem smaller and further away than they actually are.
• Using curved mirrors to estimate the dis-tance from other vehicles behind you when changing lanes can provide inaccurate re-sults and can lead to accidents and severe in-juries.
• Whenever possible, use the interior mirror to check the exact distance between your ve-hicle and following traffic or other objects.
• Ensure that you have a good view to the rear of the vehicle. .,..
Lights and vision 123

• Always fold in exterior mirrors before using an automatic car wash.
• Do not fold electrically folding exterior mir-rors In or out manually as this can damage the electric motor.

1241 Before the JOurney
m In the event of a fault, the electric exterior W mirrors can be adjusted by hand by pressing on the outer edge of the mirror.
m The vehicle aerials are located in the exterior W mirrors. If any metallic chrome plates, such as chrome mirror caps, are retrofitted to the exteri-or mirrors, you may experience problems with the radio, mobile telephone and navigation services or they may lose the ability to send and receive sig-nals completely.
