If suitable parking space is found, its parameters are stored until another suit-
able parking space has been found or until a distance of 10 m had been driven
after finding the parking space.
If the driver changes the parking mode while searching for a parking space, the
symbol button  must be pressed again.
Note
If the symbol
 (km / h) is shown in the display , the vehicle speed should be
reduced below 40 km / hr (parallel parking) or below 20 km / hr (Transverse
parking) .

Tyre pressure monitoring
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Save tyre pressure values
158
The tyre pressure monitoring function (hereinafter referred to only as a sys-
tem) monitors the tyre pressure while driving.
If the rolling circumference of a wheel is changed, the warning light  in the
instrument cluster lights up and an audible signal sounds.
Information on the procedure for the notification of change of tyre inflation
pressure » page 40 .
The system can only function properly if the tyres have the prescribed inflation
pressure and these pressure values are stored in the system.
WARNING■ Having the correct tyre inflation pressure is always the driver's responsi-
bility. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly » page 191.■
The system cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss,
e.g. in case of sudden tyre damage.
Save tyre pressure valuesFig. 146
Key for storing the pressure val-
ues
Read and observe on page 158 first.
Save the tyre pressure values as follows.
›
Inflate all the tyres to the specified pressure.
›
Switch on the ignition.
›
Press 
» Fig. 146 symbol icon and hold down.
The warning light  in the instrument cluster lights up.
An acoustic signal and the control indicator provide information about the
storage of the tyre pressure values.
›
Press  icon button.
Always save the tyre pressure values in the system if one of the following
events occurs.
› Change of tyre inflation pressure.
› Change one or more wheels.
› Change in position of a wheel on the vehicle.
› Illumination of the warning light
 in the instrument cluster.
WARNINGBefore storing the pressures, the tyres must be inflated to the specified in-
flation pressure » page 191. If the wrong pressure valuesare stored, the
system may not issue any warnings, even if the tyre pressure is too low.
CAUTION
Save the tyre pressure values every 10,000 km or 1x annually to ensure correct
system functioning.158Driving

The maximum trailer drawbar load is 80 kg/h.
On vehicles with four-wheel drive and the 2.0 l / 103 kW TDI CR or 2.0 L / 125
kW TDI CR engine, the maximum trailer nose weight is 85 kg .
WARNING■
Check that the tow bar is seated correctly and is secured in the mounting
recess before the start of every journey.■
Do not use the ball head, if it is not correctly inserted into the mounting
recess and secured.
■
Do not use the towing equipment if it is damaged or incomplete.
■
Do not modify or adapt the towing device in any way.
■
Never release the tow bar while the trailer is still coupled.
■
Keep the mounting recess of the towing equipment clean at all times.
Such dirt prevents the ball head from being attached securely.
CAUTION
■ Take care with the ball bar - risk of paint damage to the bumper.■Always attach the cap to the receiving shaft when the ball bar is removed -
risk of receiving-shaft contamination.

WARNING■ Never allow the tow bar to remain unsecured in the boot. This could
cause damage to the boot upon sudden braking, and could put the safety
of the occupants at risk.■
Never remove the tow bar while the trailer is still coupled.
CAUTION
■ If the handwheel is not turned all the way to the stop, then it will return to
its initial position when the tow bar is removed, and will rest on the tow bar
and not engage into the ready position. The tow bar will then need to be
brought into this position before the next time it is fitted.■
The mounting recess must be closed with the cover following removal. This
prevents foreign bodies from getting into the mounting recess.
Note
■ We recommend putting the protective cover onto the ball head before re-
moving the tow bar.■
Clean any dirt from the tow bar before stowing it away in the box with the
vehicle tool kit.
162Driving

The trailer and drawbar load information on the type plate of the towing de-
vice is merely a test value for the towing device. The vehicle-specific values
are detailed in the vehicle documents.WARNING■ Never exceed the maximum permissible axle and drawbar load or the per-
missible weight of the trailer - risk of accident!■
Sliding cargo can significantly adversely affect stability and driving safety
- risk of accident!
Towing a trailer
Driving speed
For safety reasons, do not drive faster than 80 km/h when towing a trailer.
Immediately reduce your speed as soon as even the slightest swaying of the
trailer is detected. Never attempt to stop the trailer from “swaying” by acceler-
ating.
Brakes
Apply the brakes in good time! If the trailer is fitted with a trailer brake, apply
the brakes gently at first, then brake firmly. This will avoid brake jolts resulting
from the trailer wheels locking.
On downhill sections shift down a gear in good time to also use the engine as
a brake.
Engine overheating
If the needle for the coolant temperature gauge moves into the right-hand
area or the red area of the scale, the speed must be reduced immediately.
Stop and switch off the engine if the indicator light  in the instrument cluster
starts to flash.
The following guidelines must be observed » page 36,
 Coolant
.
The coolant temperature can be reduced by switching on the heating.
WARNING■ Always drive particularly carefully with the trailer.■Adapt your speed to the conditions of the road surface and to the traffic
situation.CAUTIONIf you tow a trailer frequently, you should also have your vehicle inspected be-
tween service intervals.
Anti-theft alarm system
If the vehicle is locked, the alarm is activated when the electrical connection to
the trailer is interrupted.
Always switch off the anti-theft alarm system before a trailer is coupled or un-
coupled » page 56 .
Conditions for including a trailer in the anti-theft alarm system. The vehicle is factory-fitted with an anti-theft alarm system and towing
device.
The trailer is electrically connected to the towing vehicle via the trailer
socket.
The electrical system of the vehicle and trailer is functional.
The vehicle is locked with the vehicle key and the anti-theft alarm system
is activated.
CAUTION
For technical reasons, trailers with rear LED lights cannot be connected to the
anti-theft alarm system.165Hitch and trailer
