WARNING
x Opening and closing the luggage compartment lid and the CSC roof can cause serious
injuries if someone gets in the way of moving parts. The rear lid assist system is no
substitute for careful and attentive driving. It is the driver's responsibility to make sure that
nobody is in the way when opening or closing the luggage compartment lid, particularly
when putting the CSC roof up or down.
x If the opening or closing process is interrupted or the hydraulic pump overheats, the CSC
roof will automatically lower itself into a balanced position after a while (may take up to
8 minutes).
NOTICE
x Things like trailer draw bars, thin rods, fences, trees, narrow painted vertical poles, posts,
or a luggage compartment lid that is opening may not be detected by the Park Distance Control
sensors and could damage the vehicle.
x If you continue driving closer to an object that the Park Distance Control has already
detected and reported, the object may disappear from the sensor range and may no longer be
detected. This is especially true for low or high objects. The system will no longer sound
warnings about these objects. Ignoring signals from the Park Distance Control system could
result in serious damage to the vehicle.
x The sensors in the bumper can be damaged or become misaligned in low speed impacts
and parking maneuvers. Damaged or misaligned sensors cannot accurately detect or report
objects that might be within range of the PDC system.
x To help make sure that the system works properly, always keep the sensors in the bumpers
clean and free of snow and ice; do not cover the sensors with stickers or other objects.
x When cleaning the sensors with power washers or steam cleaners, only spray the sensors
directly for a very short time, and always keep the washer nozzle at least 4 inches (10 cm) from
the sensors.
x Noise from rough roads, cobblestones, other vehicles and the surrounding area, for
example, can prevent the Park Distance Control system from accurately detecting and
reporting people and objects that may be within range of the system sensors.
NOTICE
x Rear lid assist does not detect obstacles above the rear bumper. For this reason, always
check to make sure there is enough room behind the vehicle before opening or closing the
CSC roof.
x When the CSC roof is opening or closing, the luggage compartment lid lowers and covers
the Park Distance Control sensors. The sensors cannot detect people or things that are moving
behind the vehicle within range of the luggage compartment lid or that were not there before
the lid began to descend.
x Rear lid assist only checks the area behind the vehicle for obstacles at the start of CSC roof
operation, when the roof is still completely closed or open. If roof operation is interrupted, the
area behind the vehicle will not be checked a second time when roof operation starts again.
x You can damage the vehicle if rear lid assist detects an obstacle and stops CSC roof
operation, and you continue to operate the switch to open or close the roof.
Volkswagen recommends practicing with the Park Distance Control system in a location or
parking space with no traffic in order to become familiar with the system and how it works.
Your vehicle's Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) uses the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
sensors to indirectly check the tire pressure of all 4 tires while you are driving. The sensors monitor the
tread circumference (rolling circumference) and vibration characteristics of the individual tires. TPMS
warns if there is a significant loss of pressure in one or more tires while the vehicle is moving.
Pressure loss is signaled by the indicator light Ç (described below) as well as by acoustic warnings and
text warnings in the instrument cluster display if your vehicle has this display (Multi-Function Indicator -
MFI).
The original benchmark pressure is the recommended maximum load cold tire inflation pressure for
the tires that come with your vehicle. This pressure is listed on the tire pressure label on the driver
door jamb Error! Bookmark not defined.. After adjusting the tire pressures in all 4 tires, you must
confirm and store the new cold inflation pressures by pressing the SET button, which changes the
benchmark pressure to match the current pressure of the tires on your vehicle
Recalibrating the TPMS to reset the benchmark cold tire inflation pressure with proper use of the SET
button is explained below
