x Check why the window did not close.
x Try one-touch window closing again.
x If the window meets resistance a second time, so that it stops and goes back down, one-touch closing is deactivated for about 10 seconds.
x If you pull the power window button up all the way and hold it during this 10 second interval, the
window will close without pinch protection ⇒ .
Closing the window without pinch protection
x Try to close the window again within 10 seconds by holding the switch. Pinch protection is turned off for a short distance in the window track!
x If closing takes longer than about 10 seconds, pinch protection is turned on again. The window stops again if there is resistance.
x If the window still will not close, please see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
WARNING
Without pinch protection, power windows will close with enough force to cause serious per-sonal injury.
x Always be careful when closing power windows.
x Always make sure that no one is in the way when overriding pinch protection to close power windows!
x Pinch protection cannot prevent fingers or other parts of the body from being pressed against the window frame; injuries may result.
Pinch protection is also active during convenience closing of the windows and the power sunroof

Wiper performance in different situations:
During automatic
wipe/wash:
While the washer system is working, the Climatronic
switches to recirculation for about 30 seconds to
help prevent the washer fluid odor from entering the
vehicle interior.
During intermittent
wiping:
Speed-dependent interval control: The higher the
vehicle speed, the faster the wipers move.
Heated washer nozzles
Some vehicles are equipped with heated washer nozzles. The heating thaws frozen washer nozzles, but not the fluid supply hoses. When the ignition is switched on, the heat applied to the washer noz-zles is automatically regulated depending on the outside air temperature.
If there is something on the windshield, the wiper will try to wipe it away. If it continues to block the wiper, the wiper will stop moving. Remove the obstacle and switch the wiper on again.

To provide effective lubrication and cooling for internal engine parts, all internal combustion engines use some oil. Oil consumption varies from engine to engine and may change over the life of the en-gine. Engines tend to use more oil during the break-in period than they do afterward, when oil con-sumption has stabilized.
Under normal conditions, the rate of oil consumption depends on oil quality as well as viscosity, engine speed (rpm), outside temperature, road conditions, the amount of oil dilution caused by condensed water or fuel residue, and oxidation of the oil. Oil consumption may increase with engine wear over time, until replacement of worn engine parts may become necessary.
Volkswagen recommends that you to check the engine oil level at regular intervals, preferably every time you fill the fuel tank, and always before a long trip. Your vehicle may consume engine oil depend-ing on several variables. A maximum of 1 quart per 1200 miles (1 liter per 2000 km) would be consid-ered normal. New vehicles may consume more oil over the first 3000 miles (5000 km).
The oil pressure warning light is not an indicator of low engine oil level. If the warning light stays on or flashes while driving (above 1500 rpm), a chime will sound. It indicates that the oil pressure is too low. Stop the engine immediately, check the engine oil level and add oil if necessary. If the engine oil level is normal, but the light continues to flash, do not keep driving or let the engine idle, as damage may occur.
If you believe your engine uses too much oil, we recommend that you consult your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility so that the cause of your concern can be properly diagnosed. Please keep in mind that accurate measurement of oil consumption requires great care and may take some time. Your authorized Volkswagen dealer and authorized Volkswagen Service Facility have instructions for how to measure oil consumption accurately.
Depending on the way the vehicle is driven and the operating conditions, oil consumption can be up to 1 quart per 1200 miles (0.5 liter per 1000 km). Consumption may be higher for new vehicles during the first 3000 miles (5000 km).
