2015 VOLKSWAGEN CC Owner´s Manual

8. Set up a warning triangle or other warning device in order to alert
other motorists and cyclists.
9. Let the engine cool down and get expert assistance if necessary.
If the emergency flashers are on, use the turn signal lever to indicate
a direction or lane change, for example when the vehicle is being
towed. This temporarily interrupts the emergency flashers.
Switch on the emergency flashers when:
Traffic suddenly slows down or stops in front of you to warn those
approaching from behind.
In any emergency situation.
If the vehicle breaks down.
When being towed.
Always obey traffic laws that govern the use of emergency flashers
where you are driving.
If the emergency flashers are not working, a different method – as
permitted by law – must be used to alert other motorists and cyclists
to the breakdown.
WARNING
Disregarding the safety-related checklist may lead to accidents
and serious personal injuries.
Always review and follow the checklist. Follow accepted safe-
ty practices and use common sense.
WARNING
The vehicle exhaust system and the catalytic converter get very
hot. They can cause fires and serious personal injury.
Never park where parts of the hot exhaust system or catalytic
converter could ignite flammable materials, such as dry grass,
brush, leaves, spilled fuel, etc.
The vehicle battery will be drained if the emergency flashers are
on for a long time – even if the ignition is switched off.

Emergency closing and opening

WARNING
Serious injuries can result if the emergency closing and open-
ing procedures are used carelessly.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
with the remote control vehicle key. This could result in people
being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-
ing on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in
the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher
than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly
to small children.
WARNING
Careless opening and closing of the doors, the luggage com-
partment lid, and the power sunroof is dangerous and can
cause serious personal injury.
Open or close the doors, the luggage compartment lid, and
the power sunroof only when no one is in the way.
NOTICE
If the vehicle's battery fails or the power windows won't work,
the door windows are not lowered when the door is opened or
closed. Always close and open the door carefully to help prevent
damage to the window, the paint, or the rubber seal.
NOTICE
To help prevent vehicle damage, carefully remove and properly
reinstall parts after emergency locking or unlocking.
