On vehicles with a factory-installed trailer hitch and an electrically connected trailer, a corresponding
graphic is displayed on the screen. Distance values behind the vehicles will not be displayed.
Muting Park Distance Control
The acoustical PDC warnings can be muted by tapping the  function key in the Infotainment System.
You must tap the function key again to reactivate the acoustic warnings.
Muting is cancelled by switching Park Distance Control back on after it was switched off. The warning
messages cannot be switched off.
.WARNING
Never rely completely on the OPS for information about people and objects that might be in
the way of the vehicle and could be struck by the vehicle causing serious personal injury.
x The OPS sensors have blind spots where they cannot detect persons or objects.
x Never pay so much attention to the OPS and the graphics shown on the screen that you
fail to notice what is going on around you.
x Always watch for people, especially small children and animals, because the sensors may
not always be able to detect them.
.NOTICE
Automatic activation of OPS when approaching an obstacle works only when your speed falls
below a threshold of about 6 - 9 mph (10 - 15 km/h). If you then close the display, you must
either switch the ignition off and back on or exceed the speed threshold and then reduce
speed to under the threshold a second time in order for it to activate automatically again.
.Volkswagen recommends practice parking with Park Distance Control on a parking lot or other
place where there is little traffic to get used to how the system works.

What automatic air recirculation does
In automatic air recirculation mode, fresh air will enter the passenger compartment. If the system
detects an increased concentration of pollutants in the outside air, it automatically switches to air
recirculation. As soon as the pollutant level is back in the normal range, air recirculation is switched
off.
Unpleasant odors cannot be detected by the system.
To keep the windows from fogging up, automatic air recirculation is not switched on automatically in
certain circumstances.
.WARNING
Stale air causes driver fatigue and reduces driver alertness, which can cause accidents,
collisions and serious personal injury.
x Never use air recirculation mode over an extended period of time, since no fresh air will
enter the passenger compartment.
x When the air conditioner is off and recirculation mode is on, condensation can quickly
form on the windows and greatly reduce visibility.
x Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not needed.
.NOTICE
Do not smoke when air recirculation is switched on. Smoke drawn into the ventilation system
can leave residue on the evaporator and on the dust and pollen active CARbon filter, resulting
in permanent odors whenever the air conditioner is switched on.
.When backing up and while the automatic wiper/washer is operating, air recirculation is briefly
activated to avoid unpleasant odors in the passenger compartment. This feature only works if
automatic air recirculation is enabled
