2013 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG key

If the light switch is in the AUT O 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.
x Switch on the ignition.
x Press the CARInfotainment button.
x Tap the Assist systems function key on the screen.
x Select the menu item Light assistance (main beam control)from the list.
x Tap Adaptive front lighting system (AFS) to enable or disable this feature.
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)

Enabling and disabling the “Coming home” and “Leaving home” functions

Switching the “Coming home” and “Leaving home” functions on and off
The “Coming home” feature must be switched on manually. The “Leaving home” feature is
automatically controlled by a low-light sensor.

“Coming home” Action
Switch on: – Switch off the ignition.
– Operate the headlight flasher for about 1 second.
Opening the driver door switches on the “Coming home” feature. The delay
period starts when the last vehicle door or the rear hatch is closed. The
“Coming home” lighting is switched on when the driver door is open, the
headlight switch is set to AUTO, and the low light sensor detects darkness.
The delay period starts once the last vehicle door or the rear hatch is closed.
Switch off: – Automatically after the preset delay period is over.
– Automatically if any door or the rear hatch is still open about 60 seconds
after activation.
– Turn the light switch to the  position.
– Switch on the ignition.


“Leaving home” Action
Switch on: – Unlock the vehicle when the light switch is not in the O position and the low-
light sensor registers darkness. Unlock the vehicle if the light switch is in the
AUTO position and the low-light sensor registers darkness.
Switch off: – Automatically after the preset delay period is over.
– Lock the vehicle.
– Turn the light switch to the / position.
– Switch on the ignition.

Background lighting in the outside mirrors
The background lighting in the outside mirrors lights up the area close to the doors while you are
getting into or out of the vehicle. It is switched on when the vehicle is unlocked, a vehicle door is
opened, or the “Coming home” or “Leaving home” feature is activated. If the vehicle is equipped with a
light sensor, the background lighting in the outside mirrors is only switched on in darkness.

If the box in the Rain sensorfunction key is checked =, the feature is enabled.
Possible reasons for changes in the way the rain sensor works
The rain sensor may misread what is happening in the detection zone of its sensitive rain-sensor
surface ⇒ fig. 94 (arrow) and not work for a number of reasons, which include:
x Worn out wiper blades: Worn out wiper blades may leave a film of water or wiping streaks; this can
cause the wipers to run longer, to wipe more often, or to wipe continuously at high speed.
x Insects: Insects hitting the sensor cause wiping.
x Salt streaks: Salt streaks on the windshield from winter driving can cause wiping more often or
continuously on glass that is almost dry.
x Dirt: Caked-on dust, wax, any other buildup on the windshield (lotus effect), or CAR-wash
detergent residue can lower the rain sensor's sensitivity and cause it to react too slowly or not at all.
x Crack in the windshield: If a stone hits and chips the sensitive surface while the rain sensor is on,
this will trigger a wiper cycle. After that, the rain sensor will recognize the change and recalibrate itself
to respond to the smaller detection zone. Depending on the size of the chip, the sensor's reaction
pattern may or may not change.
.WARNING
The rain sensor cannot always recognize rain and activate the wipers.
x Switch the wipers on manually when water on the windshield reduces visibility.
Clean the sensitive area of the rain sensor regularly and check the wiper blades for wear or
damage.
To remove wax and coats of polish safely, we recommend using an alcohol-based windshield
cleaner.
Checking and refilling windshield washer fluid

.WARNING
The volume may suddenly get louder when you switch media source or connect a new audio
source.
x Always lower the volume before switching media source or connecting a new audio
source.
.NOTICE
Excessively loud or distorted playback can damage the vehicle speakers.
If the base volume on the Infotainment System has been considerably increased to play a certain
audio source, lower the volume again before switching to another audio source.
