If any changes have been made in the operation of the CSC roof compared with its original factory condition, Volkswagen strongly urges you to take the vehicle to an authorized Volkswagen dealer or other authorized Volkswagen Service Facility to have the roof restored to its original condition. Me-
chanical changes and changes to the vehicle software must be entered in the ⇒ booklet Warranty
and Maintenance.
WARNING
Disregarding the safety-related checklist may lead to accidents and serious personal injuries.
x Always review and follow the checklist. Follow accepted safety practices and use common sense.
On vehicles with Climatronic, you can set different heating and air conditioning temperatures for operation with the roof up and down, Heating and air conditioning.

x Pull the lever in the center console up and hold it until the CSC roof is completely closed ⇒ : A chime sounds every few seconds while the CSC roof is closing. A message may also appear in the instrument cluster display. When the roof is completely closed, the chime stops and the X indicator light or display message in the instrument cluster goes out. Keep the lever pulled to close all windows.
Interrupting CSC roof operation

WARNING
Accidents and severe injuries can result if the CSC roof is opened or closed when someone is in the way.
x Never open or close the CSC roof unless the vehicle is parked at a safe distance from traffic.
x Do not open or close the CSC roof unless you have made sure that nobody is in the way of the luggage compartment lid, the roof system, or other moving parts.
x Check to make sure that the closed CSC roof is securely latched.
x If CSC roof operation is interrupted, please note the following:
– The CSC roof may not stop moving immediately. Gravity may cause the CSC roof to keep moving.
– Gradually (may take up to 8 minutes), the CSC roof will automatically lower itself into a balanced position.
– The CSC roof is, however not latched in this position. Stop!
WARNING
If interruption of opening or closing process causes the roof to come to rest in its forward position, the roof will not be latched.
x If you are unable to get the CSC roof to close “normally,” latch the roof using the emer-gency closing procedure, Emergency closing and opening.
x Watch for a message in the instrument cluster display indicating whether the roof has been properly closed.
NOTICE
Frequent opening and closing of the CSC roof drains the vehicle battery. To help prevent the battery from running down, you should keep the engine running if you need to open and close the roof frequently.
NOTICE
Always close the CSC roof before leaving the vehicle and when it may rain or snow. If the CSC roof is open, rain or snow can damage the vehicle interior and can cause extensive damage to the electrical system.

WARNING
An open glove compartment door can increase the risk of serious injury during sudden braking or driving maneuvers or in a crash.
x Always keep the glove compartment closed while the vehicle is moving.
NOTICE
In some vehicle models, design considerations have made it necessary to have openings in the glove compartment behind the Owner's Manual slot, for example. Small items may fall through these openings and get behind the instrument panel. This can cause unusual noises and damage the vehicle. Never put any small objects in the glove compartment for this reason.
