Acceleration can be stopped at any time by de-pressing the brake pedal or pressing the(@ or @ button on the multifunction steering wheel 302.
When driving through bends
While driving through bends, the radar sensor may sometimes lose the vehicle travelling ahead or may react to a vehicle in the next lane 242 !Al. In such situations, the vehicle might decelerate unnecessarily or not react to the vehicle in front. In this case the driver must override the adaptive cruise control (ACC) by depressing the accelerator, or interrupt the braking procedure by depressing the brake pedal or pressing or @ button on the multifunction steering wheel 302.
Driving in tunnels
The radar sensor function may be restricted in tun-nels. Switch off the adaptive cruise control (ACC) in tunnels.
Narrow vehicles and a zig-zag traffic situation
Narrow vehicles and vehicles travelling slightly to the left or right of your vehicle will only be recog-nised by the radar sensor once they have entered the radar range 242@ This applies in par-ticular to narrow vehicles such as motorbikes. If re-quired, brake the vehicle yourself.
Vehicles with special load or special equipment
Any load or accessories on other vehicles that pro-trude from the side, rear or over the roof of the ve-hicle may not be detected by the adaptive cruise control (ACC) .
Switch off the adaptive cruise control (ACC) when the vehicle ahead has special load or special equipment, or while overtaking vehicles of this kind. If required. brake the vehicle yourself.
When other vehicles change lanes
Vehicles that are very close when they move into your lane can only be detected by the radar sen-sors when they have moved into the sensor range. This means that the adaptive cruise control (ACC) may have a delayed reaction =>Fig. 243@]. If re-quired, brake the vehicle yourself.
Stationary vehicles
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) does not detect stationary objects during a journey, e.g. stationary traffic or a vehicle that has broken down.
306 I While driving
If a stationary vehicle is hidden behind a vehicle that has been detected by the adaptive cruise con-trol (ACC) and this vehicle turns off the road or changes lane, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) will not be able to react to the stationary vehicle 243 [Q]. If required, brake the vehicle your-self.
Oncoming vehicles and vehicles crossing your path
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) does not react to approaching vehicles or vehicles crossing your path.
Metal objects
Metal objects, such as tracks in the road or metal plates used in roadworks, can confuse the radar sensor and cause incorrect reactions from the adaptive cruise control (ACC) .
Possible radar sensor function impairments
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) will switch off temporarily if the radar sensor function is impaired, e.g. due to heavy rain, spray, snow, ice or mud. A corresponding message will appear on the instru-ment cluster display. Clean the radar sensors as required.
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) will automatical-ly be available again as soon as the radar sensors are no longer impaired. The message on the in-strument cluster display goes out, and the adaptive cruise control (ACC) can be reactivated.
Strong reflected radiation of the radar signal, e.g. in multi-storey car parks, can impair the function of the radar sensor.
Towing a trailer
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) operates with reduced dynamics when the vehicle is towing a trailer.
Overheated brakes
If the brakes overheat, e.g. following heavy braking or when driving down steep inclines for long peri-ods, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) may be de-activated temporarily. A corresponding message will appear on the instrument cluster display. lt is then not possible to activate the adaptive cruise control (ACC).
As soon as the temperature of the brakes has de-creased sufficiently, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) can be activated again. The message on the instrument cluster display goes out. If the mes-sage ACC not ava i 1 able does not go out for a long time, there is a fault. Go to a qualified work-shop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswa-gen dealership for this purpose.

Settings for optimal road visibility
• Switch off air recirculation mode 330.
• Set blower® to level 1 or 2.
• Set the temperature selector G) to the required position.
• Open and position all vents on the dash panel.
• Turn the air distribution Fig. 258 0 to the desired position.
Rear window heating
A button for the rear window heating @ may be contained in the dash panel.
• When the engine is running, press the @ but-ton to switch on the rear window heating.
• The rear window heating is switched off auto-matically after approx. 10 minutes. To switch it off before the automatic switch-off, press the(!) but-ton again.
A WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which in turn can cause collisions, accidents and serious inju-ries.
• Never switch off the blowers or switch on the air recirculatlon mode for an extended pe-riod as this prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle Interior. Information on the air conditioning system
.........r'n First read and observe the Introductory L-.lr:.ll Information and safety warnings & on page 322.
The cooling system for the vehicle interior only works when the engine is running and the blower is switched on.
The air conditioning system operates most effec-tively with the windows and the sliding/tilting roof closed. However, if the vehicle has heated up after standing in the sun for some time, the air inside can be cooled more quickly by opening the win-dows and the sliding/tilting roof for a short time.
Settings for optimal road visibility
Switching the cooling system on not only reduces the temperature of the vehicle interior, but also the humidity. This improves comfort for the vehicle oc-cupants and prevents the windows from misting when the outside humidity is high.
Climatic
• Switch off air recirculation mode 330.
• Set the blowers to the required level.
• Set the temperature to +22•c (+72.F).
• Open and position all vents on the dash panel 329.
• Turn the air distribution controller to the desired position.
• Press the@) button to switch the cooling sys-tem on. The indicator lamp in the button lights up.
328 I While driving
Cllmatronlc
• Press button.
• Set the temperature to +22•c (+72.F).
• Open and position all vents on the dash panel 329.
The cooling system cannot be switched on
The following criteria may prevent the cooling sys-tem from being switched on:
• The engine is not running.
• The blower is switched off.
• The air conditioning system fuse has blown.
• The ambient temperature is lower than approxi-mately +3"C (+38°F).
• The compressor has been temporarily switched off because the coolant temperature is too high.
• There is a different fault in the vehicle. The air conditioning system should be checked by a quali-fied workshop.
Things to note
If the humidity and temperature outside the vehicle are high, condensation can drip off the evaporator in the cooling system and form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a

Fuses
i:llJ Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Fuse box in the dash panel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 430
Fuses in the engine compartment . . . . . . . . . . 431 Changing a blown fuse ................... 431
At the time of print we are unable to provide an up-to-date overview of the locations of the fuses for the electrical consumers. This is because the vehi-cle is under constant development, because fuses are assigned differently depending on the vehicle equipment level and because several consumers may use a single fuse. You can get more informa-tion about the fuse layout from a Volkswagen Com-mercial Vehicles dealership.
Several electrical consumers could share a single fuse. Conversely, a single consumer could have more than one fuse.
Therefore fuses should only be replaced when the cause of the fault has been rectified. If a new fuse blows shortly after insertion, have the electrical system checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
A WARNING
Driving with an unsealed tyre is dangerous as it can cause accidents and serious Injuries.
• Do not carry on driving if the tyre pressure Is 1.3 bar (19 psi /130 kPa) or lower.
• Seek expert assistance. Additional information and warnings:
• Drink holder =>page 153
• Preparation for working in the engine compart-ment =>page 350
• Battery =>page 362
A WARNING
High voltages in the electrical system can cause electric shocks, serious burns and death.
• Never touch the electrical wiring of the ig-nition system.
• Avoid causing short circuits in the electri-cal system.
A WARNING
Using unsuitable or repaired fuses and bridg-ing an electrical circuit without fuses can cause a fire and serious injuries.
