2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC turn signal

WARNING
Daytime running lights are not bright enough to let you see
ahead or be seen by others when it is dark.
Always switch on the low-beam headlights at dusk or when it
is dark and whenever the weather is bad or visibility is poor.
Never use the daytime running lights to see where you are
going. They are not bright enough and will not let you see far
enough ahead for safety, especially at dusk or when it is dark.
Always switch on the low-beam headlights at dusk or when it is
dark.
The taillights do not come on with the daytime running lights.
Unless the taillights are on, a vehicle cannot be seen by others
in bad weather, at dusk, or when it is dark.
Even if automatic headlight control (!54/) is switched on, the
low-beam headlights may still not come on by themselves in
fog or heavy rain. You have to switch on the low-beam head-
lights manually.
In cool or humid weather, the insides of the headlights, the rear
lights, and turn signals can temporarily fog up. This is normal and
does not affect the service life of the vehicle's lighting system.
Lights and vision features

WARNING
Crashes and other accidents can happen when you cannot see
the road ahead and when you cannot be seen by other motor-
ists.
Never use daytime running lights (DRL) to see where you are
going. DRL are not bright enough to light up the roadway and
be seen by other motorists. You will not be able to see far
enough ahead for safety, especially at dusk or when it is dark.
Always switch on the low-beam headlights at dusk or when it is
dark.
The taillights do not come on when the daytime running
lights are switched on. A vehicle without taillights on cannot be
seen by others in bad weather, at dusk, or when it is dark.
If automatic headlight control (!54/) is switched on, the low-
beam headlights still may not be switched on in fog or heavy
rain. You have to switch on the low-beam headlights yourself.
In cool or humid weather, the insides of the headlights, the rear
lights, and turn signals can temporarily fog up. This is normal and
does not affect the service life of the vehicle's lighting system.

lighting)

Trailer taillights
Trailer lights must meet all regulations ⇒ Hitching up and connecting
a trailer.
Never connect the trailer lights directly to the electrical system of your
vehicle.
Outside mirrors
If you cannot see the traffic behind you using the regular outside mir-
rors, then you must install extended mirrors. Extended mirrors may
also be required by law in some countries/states/provinces. Always
adjust the outside mirrors before driving. It's vital that you always
have a clear view to the rear of the vehicle.
Maximum power consumption for the trailer
Do not exceed the power ratings listed in the chart below.

Electrical load Maximum power
Brake lights total 108 watts
Turn signals per side 54 watts
Side marker lights total 100 watts
Taillights total 54 watts

WARNING
An improperly installed or incorrect trailer hitch can cause a
trailer to separate from the tow vehicle and cause serious per-
sonal injuries.
If you don't have to tow a trailer any more, remove the entire
trailer hitch. Always seal all bolt holes to prevent water and
deadly exhaust fumes from getting into the vehicle.
NOTICE
If the trailer lights are not connected properly, the vehicle's
electronics may be damaged.

When a turn signal is set, unnecessary lines and areas are hidden.
Orientation lines overview
Meaning of the orientation lines and areas projected on screen
⇒ fig. 155. All distances of the orientation lines refer to a vehicle on a
level surface.
(1) Red: Safety distance. Area up to about 16 inches (40 cm) behind
the vehicle on the road.
(2) Vehicle's width limits.
(3) Point to change steering angle.
When the yellow line touches the curb or any other parking
space boundary, the steering wheel must be turned in the oppo-
site direction (close-up view).
(4) The area parallel to the vehicle that is needed for parking. The
area shown must fit completely into the parking space.
(5) Parked vehicle at the curb.
Parking
Position the vehicle about 3 feet (1 meter) away from and parallel
to the parking space and shift into Reverse.
On the screen of the navigation system, activate Mode 2 for paral-
lel parking.
Back up slowly and steer the vehicle so that the yellow surface on
the screen is flush with the side boundary of the parking space (such
as the curb) and stops short of any obstacle (5), such as another ve-
hicle.
Turn the steering wheel as far as it will go into the direction of the
parking space and slowly back up.
Once the yellow line (3) touches the side of the parking space, for
example, a marking or the curb (close-up view), turn the steering
wheel as far as it will go in the opposite direction.
Continue backing up until the vehicles is positioned in the parking
space parallel to the road. If necessary, correct the parking position.
It may take up to 5 seconds for the area detected by the sensors
to be displayed on the factory-installed radio or navigation system
screen.

In order to Operation
view camera dis-
play (if equipped): OR: Tap the function key Z or 26# on the dis-
play.

The indicator light in the button  ⇒ fig. 157 comes on and stays on
as long as the feature is active.
A chime sounds to tell you that the system is on. If the chime does
not sound, PDC is not working. Have the system inspected by an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility.
Special considerations when using Park Distance Control
In some cases, the Park Distance Control interprets water and ice
on the sensors as an obstacle.
If the distance remains the same, the warning tone volume de-
creases after a few seconds. If a continuous tone sounds, its volume
remains the same.
If the vehicle moves away from the obstacle, the beeping sound
stops automatically. The beep turns on again automatically if the ve-
hicle approaches the obstacle again.
For vehicles with automatic transmissions, there is no beeping
when the transmission is in Park (P) and the electronic parking brake
is engaged.
The volume of the audible signals can be adjusted by an author-
ized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facili-
ty.
Muting the Park Distance Control volume
You can mute the PDC beeping signals by tapping the  function
key on the Radio or Navigation system screen (if applicable). Tap the
function key again to reactivate the acoustic signals.
Switching Park Distance Control back on after it was switched off re-
activates the volume. System malfunction warning signals cannot be
switched off.
If you manually deactivate the display, PDC remains on and the
sound is reactivated.

WARNING
Disregarding the safety-related checklist may lead to accidents
and injuries.
Please note and follow the points listed in the checklist.

8. Set up a warning triangle or other warning device in order to alert
other motorists and cyclists.
9. Let the engine cool down and get expert assistance if necessary.
If the emergency flashers are on, use the turn signal lever to indicate
a direction or lane change, for example when the vehicle is being
towed. This temporarily interrupts the emergency flashers.
Switch on the emergency flashers when:
Traffic suddenly slows down or stops in front of you to warn those
approaching from behind.
In any emergency situation.
If the vehicle breaks down.
When being towed.
Always obey traffic laws that govern the use of emergency flashers
where you are driving.
If the emergency flashers are not working, a different method – as
permitted by law – must be used to alert other motorists and cyclists
to the breakdown.
WARNING
Disregarding the safety-related checklist may lead to accidents
and serious personal injuries.
Always review and follow the checklist. Follow accepted safe-
ty practices and use common sense.
WARNING
The vehicle exhaust system and the catalytic converter get very
hot. They can cause fires and serious personal injury.
Never park where parts of the hot exhaust system or catalytic
converter could ignite flammable materials, such as dry grass,
brush, leaves, spilled fuel, etc.
The vehicle battery will be drained if the emergency flashers are
on for a long time – even if the ignition is switched off.

WARNING
Disregarding the safety-related checklist may lead to accidents
and serious personal injuries.
Always review and follow the checklist. Follow accepted safe-
ty practices and use common sense.
