2013 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG lock

x Do not keep any food, medicine, or other items sensitive to heat or cold in the vehicle. They
can be damaged or made unusable by heat or cold.
x Things that are made of transparent materials (such as eyeglasses, magnifying glasses, or
transparent suction cups on the windows) can magnify sunlight and damage the vehicle.
.The ventilation slots between the rear window and the luggage compartment cover must not be
blocked so that stale air can escape from the vehicle.

Maximum power draw

Socket Maximum power draw
12 Volts 120 watts
115 Volts 150 watts (300 watts peak consumption)

The maximum power draw at any one socket must never be exceeded. Electrical devices should have
information on them that says how much power they draw.
If 2 or more electrical devices are connected at the same time, the total power draw of all connected
devices must never be more than 190 watts ⇒ .
12 Volt socket
The 12 Volt socket works only when the ignition is switched on.
If the ignition is on but the engine is not running, the vehicle battery will be drained by any device that
is plugged in and turned on. For this reason, never use the electrical sockets unless the engine is
running.
To help prevent damage from voltage fluctuations, switch off all electrical devices connected to a 12
Volt socket before switching the ignition on or off or starting the engine.
The vehicle may have 12 Volt sockets at the following places:
x In the storage compartment in the front center armrest.
x In the rear center console.
x In the luggage compartment.
x In the storage compartment in the lower front center console.
115 Volt socket
The socket can only be used if the engine is running ⇒ .
Connecting an electrical device: Insert the plug as far as it goes into the socket in order to unlock the
integrated childproof lock. There is electricity in the socket only after the childproof lock is unlocked.

LED display on the socket ⇒ fig.122
Green continuous light: The child-proof lock is unlocked. The
socket is operational.
Red flashing light: Malfunction, such as cutoff due to current
overload or overheating.

Overheating cutoff
The inverter in the 115 Volt socket shuts off automatically above a certain temperature. The shutoff
prevents overheating in case of excessive power consumption of connected devices or at high
ambient air temperatures. The inverter switches back on automatically after a cool-down period.
Connected devices which were left switched on come back on again. For this reason, switch off
connected electrical devices if the inverter switches off due to overheating.

.DANGER
Improper use of the 115 Volt socket can cause electrical shock, burns, and severe personal
injury.
x Never spill liquids on the socket.
x Never plug an adapter or an extension cord into the 115 Volt socket. Otherwise, the
integrated child-proof lock is switched off and the socket is live.
x Never stick anything that conducts electricity, such as a knitting needle, into the contacts
of the 115 Volt socket.
.NOTICE
x Follow the manufacturer's instructions for connected devices!
x Never exceed the maximum power consumption, or the entire vehicle electrical system may
become damaged.
x 12 Volt socket:
– Only use equipment that has been tested for electromagnetic compatibility and complies with
applicable guidelines.
– Never feed current into the socket with a solar panel, for example.
x 115 Volt socket:
– Do not connect devices or plugs which are too heavy, such as a grid power supply adapter or
cord, directly onto the socket.
– Do not connect lamps containing neon tubes.
– Only connect devices to the socket with voltage consistent with the voltage of the socket.
– For devices with a high starting current, the integrated over-current shutoff will prevent them
from being switched on. In this case, disconnect the power supply from the device and reconnect
after about 10 seconds.
.Some devices may not work very well when connected to the 115 Volt socket due to low
wattage.
.Unshielded devices may interfere with radio reception or the vehicle's electrical system.

.WARNING
Connecting cables of external devices may obstruct visibility through the windshield or other
windows.
x Route cables so as not to interfere with the driver.
.WARNING
Opening a CD or DVD player's housing can lead to injuries from invisible laser radiation.
x Always have CD or DVD players repaired only by a qualified workshop.
.NOTICE
Improper insertion or insertion of an improperly fitting memory CARd can damage the locking
mechanism in the memory CARd slot.
x Pay attention to the proper insertion position
x Excessive pressure can destroy the locking mechanism in the memory CARd slot.
x Only use suitable memory CARds.
.NOTICE
x When inserting and removing CDs and DVDs, always hold them at right angles to the front
of the unit. Inserting or removing them at an angle to the DVD drive may lead to scratching.
x Inserting a second CD or DVD while a CD or DVD is inserted or is being ejected can destroy
the DVD drive. Always wait until the data storage device is completely ejected.
.NOTICE
Any foreign objects attached to a data medium and non-round data storage devices can
damage the DVD drive.
x Only clean 12-cm standard CDs or DVDs should be used!
– Do not attach stickers or other items to the date storage device. Stickers may peel off and
damage the drive.
– Do not insert 8-cm single CDs or non-round CDs (shaped CDs) or DVDs.
– Do not insert DVD-Plus, Dual Discs and Flip Discs, as these are thicker than standard CDs.

.WARNING
Inserting data media when the vehicle is moving can distract you from the road and lead to
accidents. Always keep the storage compartment closed when the vehicle is moving.
.NOTICE
The memory CARd slot's locking mechanism and the memory CARd can be damaged by
incorrect insertion of a memory CARd or by inserting a incompatible memory CARd!
x When inserting a CARd, make sure it is correctly positioned.
x Excessive pressure can destroy the locking mechanism in the memory CARd slot.
x Only use suitable memory CARds .
.If you insert a number of different CDs and DVDs and receive the message Drive error
every time, contact a qualified workshop.

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.
Stopping route guidance
x Press the Infotainment button .NAV in the map display to open the Waypoint navigation
menu.
x Press the Stop function key.
