WARNING
Serious injury may result from driving when the CSC roof has not properly locked into place
or when the process of opening or closing the roof is incomplete.
x Never drive if the CSC roof is not either completely open or completely closed and locked
– unless you must move the vehicle to a safe place away from traffic. In this case:
– Do not drive any faster than a slow walk. Even at low speeds, air resistance can twist
or deform the roof or tear it off completely, endangering vehicle occupants and others.
NOTICE
x To help prevent damage, remove ice and snow from the CSC roof before opening it in winter
weather.
NOTICE
x Volkswagen advises against all unauthorized changes to the CSC roof controls or to the
way the roof opens and closes.
x Damage to the CSC roof system caused by changes to the CSC roof system controls will
not be covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty. The terms and conditions of your
Volkswagen Limited Warranties are in the ⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance.
x The CSC roof has been designed to be opened and closed only when the vehicle is stopped.
As your vehicle was manufactured, the roof cannot be opened or closed when the vehicle is
being driven, for example, at low speeds. Roof operation even at low speeds can cause the
roof to be deformed and damaged because of the increased forces from wind resistance. Wind
resistance can also cause parts of the linkages and the hydraulic system to wear prematurely,
and could even cause parts of the roof to separate and fall into the vehicle or onto the roadway
or onto another vehicle.
x The CSC roof has been designed to open and close only when the lever on the center
console ⇒ fig. 32 is pulled/pushed and held in that position until the roof has opened / closed
completely. Releasing the lever stops roof movement. A chime sounds when the roof is
moving. As your vehicle was manufactured, the roof cannot be operated in a one-touch up or
down mode. The roof was designed this way for your safety and that of your passengers. One-
touch operation would make it possible for the driver to leave the vehicle unsupervised while
the roof, rear lid, and windows move into position. This would increase the risk of vehicle
damage and personal injury to bystanders, especially to children.
x If the way the CSC roof works on your vehicle has been changed from the way it was
manufactured, we urge you to have your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility change it back so that it will only open and close as originally
manufactured. Mechanical changes and changes to the vehicle software must be entered in the
⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance.
