x Pull the lever in the center console up ⇒ fig. 32 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 indicator light or display message in the instrument cluster goes out. Keep the lever pulled to close all windows.
Interrupting CSC roof operation
Releasing the lever interrupts 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 emergency 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
The Automatic Rollover Support System can cause serious injuries if persons or objects are in the way when it deploys.
x Never use accessory seat covers or protective covers that block the rollover protection deployment area.
x Every rear seat passenger must be properly seated on a seat of his or her own and must stay in a proper seating position at all times.
x Always keep the area around the supports free of anything that could interfere with their deployment or fly about and injure occupants when the supports deploy.
x Never take the covers off the Automatic Rollover Support System.
x Never attach a child seat, child restraints, straps, or anything else to the rollover protection supports.
WARNING
If there is a system malfunction, the Automatic Rollover Support System may cause serious injuries by not deploying properly, by not deploying at all, or by deploying unexpectedly.
x If a malfunction exists in the system, have it checked immediately by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. A malfunction exists in the system if the indicator light:
– does not come on when the ignition is turned on;
– does not go out about 5 seconds after you start the engine;
– goes out after switching on the ignition and then comes back on again;
– lights up or flickers when you are driving.
NOTICE
If deployed, the Automatic Rollover Support System can damage the CSC roof when opening or closing the top.

Lights up Possible cause Proper response
D
Power steering assist is reduced.
Stop, restart the engine, and drive a short distance. If the yellow warning light does not come on again, you do not need to have the steering system checked. Otherwise, have the steering checked immediately by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Vehicle battery was disconnected and has been reconnected. Drive a short distance at about 10–12 mph (15–20 km/h).


Flashes Possible cause Proper response
D Electronic steering column lock malfunction.

New brake pads do not provide full performance during the first 100 to 200 miles (200 to 300 km) and
must first be “broken” in ⇒ . To some extent, you can make up for the somewhat reduced performance by applying more pressure to the brake pedal. But, during the break-in period, the stopping distance for hard braking and emergency braking will be longer until the brakes are fully broken in. Avoid hard braking and situations that might require hard braking (such as following other vehicles too closely) – especially during the break-in period.
Brake pad wear depends mostly on operating conditions and the way the vehicle is driven. If you do a lot of city and short-distance driving and/or have a sporty driving style, you should have the brake pads checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility more often than the regular service intervals.
Wet brakes (for example, after driving through water or washing the vehicle or after heavy rainfall) will not brake as well. Stopping distances will be longer when brake discs are wet or, in winter, even icy. Wet or icy brakes must be dried as soon as possible by carefully applying the brakes a couple of times while traveling at a relatively high speed. Make sure nobody is behind you and that you do not
endanger yourself or others ⇒ .
Brakes coated with road salt also react slower and need longer stopping distances. If there is salt on the roads and you are not braking regularly, brake carefully and gently from time to time to remove any
salt coating from the brake discs and pads ⇒ .
Brake disc corrosion (rust) and dirt buildup on the brake pads are more likely to occur if the vehicle is not driven much or is driven only for short distances with little braking. If the brakes have not been used and there is some rust on the discs, clean the brake discs and pads once in a while by carefully braking a couple of times while driving at relatively high speed to help clean the brake discs and pads.
Make sure nobody is behind you and that you do not endanger yourself or others ⇒ .
Brake system malfunction
If you brake and find that the vehicle doesn't brake nearly as well as it used to (sudden increase in stopping distance), a brake circuit may have failed. The brake warning light H or "2!+% will come on and a message may appear in the instrument cluster display. If you believe the vehicle is safe to drive, immediately take it to the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for repair. Drive slowly and very carefully, allow for the longer stopping distance, and be ready to push longer and harder on the brake pedal to slow the vehicle down.
Brake booster
The brake booster works only when the engine is running. It increases the force on the brakes above and beyond the pressure put on the brake pedal by the driver.
If the brake booster is not working, or if the vehicle has to be towed, you will have to push the brake pedal harder to make up for the lack of booster assistance and the resulting longer stopping distance
⇒ .
WARNING
New brake pads do not provide maximum braking performance.
x New brake pads do not have the best stopping power for the first 200 miles (320 km) and must be “broken in.” You can compensate for the slightly reduced braking force by putting more pressure on the brake pedal.
x Drive with extra care while the new brake pads are being broken in. This reduces the risk of collisions and serious personal injuries due to a loss of control over the vehicle.
x Never follow other vehicles too closely or put yourself into other situations that might require sudden, hard braking, especially when the brake pads have not been broken in.
