Function Action
Switching the DRL off: – Switch the ignition on.
– Turn the light switch to the / position.
– Set the parking brake.
Switching the DRL back on: – Release the parking brake.
– OR: Turn the light switch to the  position.

Static cornering lights
Your vehicle may have fog lights under the front bumper, which on some models are also static
cornering lights. On some models the static cornering lights may be integrated in the headlights. At
speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h), the light on one side of the vehicle will come on when you turn
a corner. If you turn to the right, the right fog light comes on; turn left and the left fog light comes on.
The light dims and goes out when the steering wheel is straightened out again.
When you move the selector lever to Reverse (R), the static cornering lights on both sides of the
vehicle may come on so that you can see the area around the vehicle better when backing up.
The static cornering lights work only when the headlights are on. If you are using automatic headlight
control (headlight switch in the !54/ position) ⇒ fig. 84, they work only when the headlights have been
automatically switched on. The static cornering lights do not come on when the headlight switch is in
the O position or when the fog lights themselves have been switched on.
Automatic headlight control AUTO
Automatic headlight control is a convenience feature only and cannot always recognize all driving
situations.
If the light switch is in the !54/ position, the outside vehicle lighting and the instrument lighting are
automatically switched on at dusk/nightfall and off in normal daylight in the following situations ⇒ :

Automatic activation: Automatic deactivation/change to daytime
running lights:
If the low-light sensor registers darkness, for
example when driving through a tunnel.
If sufficient brightness is registered.
If you drive faster than about 87 mph (140 km/h)
for several seconds.
If you drive slower than about 40 mph (65 km/h)
for several seconds.
If the rain sensor recognizes heavy rain and
switches the windshield wipers on.
If the windshield wipers have not moved for
several minutes.

Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
The Adaptive Front Lighting System works only with the low beams switched on and only at speeds
above about 6 mph (10 km/h). The swivel-mounted lamps automatically improve road illumination
during cornering.
The Adaptive Front Lighting System can be switched on and off in the Infotainment System.

On some models, the headlights move independently of each other, even in straight-ahead driving.
They adapt to weather conditions and speed to better illuminate the roadway. The headlights return to
their original position after a delay, depending on the speed of the vehicle.
.WARNING
Crashes and other accidents can happen when you cannot see the road ahead and when you
cannot be seen by other motorists.
x 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.
x If automatic headlight control (AUTO) 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.
x 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.
In cool or humid weather, the insides of the headlights, 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.
“Coming home” and “Leaving home” feature (orientation lighting)

On road : the start point for the route guidance will be reached using public roads as far as
possible.
Off-road : the start point for route guidance will be reached in off-road mode and any available
roads will not be used.

When route guidance starts, the system will switch to the map view.
An audible signal is given when the starting point of the waypoint tour has been reached.
During route guidance
Characteristics of the terrain are ignored during route guidance. A driving recommendation will be
given about 55 yards (50 meters) before reaching a turning point. You should therefore drive slowly
and follow recommendations for turning as far as possible!
Changes in the direction of travel will be given in relation to the current direction of travel, such as
.“Please travel in direction 9 o'clock!”.
The tendency of the direction of travel will be shown in the instrument cluster display using arrows.

entered.
x If you press the Normal mode function key, a “real route guidance” starts.
The sequence of events and the operations in virtual route guidance are similar to those in real route
guidance. Once a manual location has been entered, the virtual route guidance starts from that
position.
Virtual route guidance is repeated when you reach the fictitious destination and always starts again
from the starting point if it is interrupted.
When real route guidance is started following route guidance in demo mode, the unit first has to
reorient itself. Depending on the number of currently received satellites, this orientation may take
some time. Vehicle movement can reduce the re-orientation time
.If the vehicle is moved and the unit can determine its current location by GPS, any manually
entered location will be overwritten with the current vehicle location.
.Disable demo mode after use, otherwise you will be prompted to choose between virtual and
normal route guidance each time you start route guidance.

via a Bluetooth connection. The cell phone logs itself out of the GSM network and logs into the
telephone control using the data from the “borrowed” SIM CARd. The telephone is then controlled
exclusively via the controls in the vehicle. The mobile phone goes into standby mode. This Bluetooth
profile allows all telephone control functions and the exterior aerial to be used to the full.
x Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP): If a cell phone is connected via HFP to the telephone
control, you can make calls wireless via the hands-free system. Many other telephone control
functions are not available. The vehicle's exterior aerial can thus not be used.
x Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP): Bluetooth profile for transferring audio signals .
.Volkswagen recommends pairing a cell phone with the telephone control via Bluetooth-rSAP in
order to use all telephone control functions.
