2015 VOLKSWAGEN CC brake

Brake fluid can pollute the environment. Brake fluid that has
leaked out must be collected and disposed of properly, following all
applicable environmental regulations.

Step Manual transmission Automatic transmission
1. Hold the stopped vehicle on an incline with the foot or parking
brake.
2. The engine must be running “smoothly.”
3. A manual transmission vehicle
must be in 1st gear (1) if
headed up a hill or in Reverse
(R) if backing up a hill; you
must hold the clutch down and
the foot brake must be de-
pressed to keep the vehicle
from moving.
An automatic transmission
vehicle must be in Reverse
(R), Drive (D), or Sport Drive
(S) and the foot brake must be
depressed to keep the vehicle
from moving.
4. To drive off, take your foot off
the brake pedal as you let the
clutch out and gently depress
the accelerator within
2 seconds.
To drive off, take your foot off
the brake pedal and gently
depress the accelerator within
2 seconds.

Hill Hold is immediately deactivated:
If any requirement listed in the table above is no longer met.
If the engine is not running smoothly or the engine malfunctions.
If the engine stalls or is switched off.
Automatic transmission vehicles: If the transmission is in Neutral
(N).
Automatic transmission vehicles: If a tire does not have enough
road contact (such as when the vehicle is tipped or at an angle).

WARNING
The intelligent technology of Hill Hold cannot overcome the
laws of physics. Never let the increased convenience provided
by Hill Hold tempt you into taking risks.
The Hill Hold feature cannot hold the vehicle in all hill start
situations (for example, if the surface is icy or slippery).
Hill Hold can only help keep the vehicle from moving for less
than 2 seconds. After that, the brakes will be released and the
vehicle can roll down the hill.

WARNING
Using the cruise control when it is not possible to drive safely
at a constant speed can be dangerous and can lead to an acci-
dent and serious personal injuries.
Never use cruise control when driving in heavy or varying
traffic or when you cannot keep a safe distance between you
and the vehicles ahead of you.
Never use cruise control on steep, winding, or slippery roads
(such gravel roads, wet roads, or snowy or icy roads) or on
roads with standing water.
Never use cruise control when driving off-road or on unpaved
roads.
Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between
you and the vehicles ahead of you to the road, traffic, weather,
and visibility conditions.
To help prevent unintended operation of cruise control,
switch the system off when it is not being used.
It is dangerous to use the Resume feature when the previous-
ly set speed is too high for the existing road, traffic, or weather
conditions.
When going downhill, the cruise control may not be able to
maintain a constant speed. The vehicle will speed up because
of its own weight. Downshift and/or use the foot brake to slow
the vehicle.

memory.
Switch off cruise
control.
Push the lever to the
/&& position (2).
Pushing the lever briefly
to the first detent deac-
tivates the cruise control
and saves the stored
speed.
Pushing the lever to the
second detent turns off
the cruise control and
deletes the stored speed.

Driving downhill with cruise control
If cruise control cannot maintain constant speed while driving down-
hill, slow the vehicle with the foot brake and downshift if necessary.
Automatic deactivation
Cruise control speed regulation is automatically deactivated or tempo-
rarily interrupted:
If the system detects an error that could affect the function of the
cruise control.
If the vehicle has accelerated and goes faster than the stored
speed for a longer time.
If the brake or clutch pedal is depressed.
If the vehicle shifts gear (manual transmission).
If an airbag deploys.

1) Do not use Rear Assist in the following situations:
– If the area behind the vehicle cannot be seen clearly or complete-
ly.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– When the luggage compartment lid is open.
– If the driver is not familiar with the system.
– If the position or angle of the camera has changed, such as after a
rear-end collision. Have the system checked by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.


2) Examples of optical distortion by the camera:
The Rear Assist camera displays only two-dimensional images. Re-
cesses and protruding objects on the ground or protruding parts on
other vehicles are difficult or impossible to identify due to the lack of
depth of field.
Objects or another vehicle may seem closer or farther away on the
screen than they really are:
– When driving from a level surface onto an upward or downward
slope.
– When driving up or down a slope onto a level surface.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– When approaching protruding objects. These objects can disap-
pear from the field of view when backing up.

Cleaning the camera lens
Keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice:
Engage the parking brake.
Switch on the ignition.

In order to Operation
view camera dis-
play (if equipped): OR: Tap the function key Z or 26# on the dis-
play.

The indicator light in the button  ⇒ fig. 157 comes on and stays on
as long as the feature is active.
A chime sounds to tell you that the system is on. If the chime does
not sound, PDC is not working. Have the system inspected by an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility.
Special considerations when using Park Distance Control
In some cases, the Park Distance Control interprets water and ice
on the sensors as an obstacle.
If the distance remains the same, the warning tone volume de-
creases after a few seconds. If a continuous tone sounds, its volume
remains the same.
If the vehicle moves away from the obstacle, the beeping sound
stops automatically. The beep turns on again automatically if the ve-
hicle approaches the obstacle again.
For vehicles with automatic transmissions, there is no beeping
when the transmission is in Park (P) and the electronic parking brake
is engaged.
The volume of the audible signals can be adjusted by an author-
ized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facili-
ty.
Muting the Park Distance Control volume
You can mute the PDC beeping signals by tapping the  function
key on the Radio or Navigation system screen (if applicable). Tap the
function key again to reactivate the acoustic signals.
Switching Park Distance Control back on after it was switched off re-
activates the volume. System malfunction warning signals cannot be
switched off.
If you manually deactivate the display, PDC remains on and the
sound is reactivated.
