Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the ignition is
switched on. They will switch off after a few seconds.
Start/stop system
Fig. 103 In the upper part of the centre console: button for the start/stop system
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
When the start/stop system is active, the engine is switched off whenever the vehicle is stationary.
The engine then restarts automatically as soon as it is required.
The function is automatically activated every time the ignition is switched on. The instrument cluster
display shows information about the current status ⇒ Indicator lamps.
Always switch off the start/stop system manually when driving through water.

Special driving situations

Fig. 111 Vehicles changing lanes
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The city emergency brake function has physical and system-specific limits. In certain situations, the
driver may therefore feel that the city emergency brake function reacts too late or unexpectedly.
You should therefore always be prepared to take full control of the vehicle if necessary.
The following driving situations demand particular vigilance:
When driving through bends
When driving into or out of a long bend, the laser sensor may react to a vehicle in the adjacent lane
⇒ Fig. 110A and thus brake the vehicle. The braking effect can be stopped by pressing the
accelerator or clutch pedal or by steering the vehicle.
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
recognised by the laser sensor once they have entered the range of the sensor ⇒ Fig. 110B. This
particularly applies to narrow vehicles such as motorcycles.
When other vehicles change lanes
Vehicles that are very close to you when they move into your lane could cause the city emergency
brake function to be applied unexpectedly ⇒ Fig. 111. The braking effect can be stopped by
pressing the accelerator or clutch pedal or by steering the vehicle.
Possible laser sensor function impairments
The city emergency brake function will switch off temporarily if the function of the laser sensor is
impaired due to heavy rain, spray, snow or mud, for example. The indicator lamp will flash in
the instrument cluster display.
The city emergency brake function is ready to work again as soon as the laser sensor returns to
normal function. The indicator lamp goes out.
The following conditions could prevent the city emergency brake function
from reacting:

Natural gas engines
Things to note: if the vehicle is parked for an extended period directly after refuelling, it may well
occur that the pointer for the natural gas engine does not indicate the fuel level shown directly after
refuelling. This does not mean that there is a leak in the system but but rather that, for technical
reasons the pressure has been decreased in the natural gas tank.
The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol ⇒ Fig. 115 in the display instrument shows
you the side of the vehicle on which the tank flap is located.

Driving the vehicle when the fuel level is too low could lead to your vehicle breaking down in
traffic, accidents and serious injuries.

Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Spilt operating fluids must be
collected and disposed of properly and with respect for the environment.
Warning lamp for coolant
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the ignition is
switched on. They will switch off after a few seconds.
Lit upPossible causeSolution
Engine coolant temperature is
too low in vehicles with natural
gas engine.
Avoid high engine speeds and heavy engine loads.
FlashesPossible causeSolution
Coolant temperature too high.
Do not drive on!
Stop the vehicle as soon as possible, and when
safe to do so. Switch off the engine, leave the
engine to cool down.
Coolant level too low.
Do not drive on!
After the engine has cooled down, check the
coolant level and refill engine coolant if the level is
too low ⇒ Checking the coolant level and refilling
coolant.
With display --.- in the
instrument cluster:
fault in the engine cooling
system.
Do not drive on!
Seek expert assistance.
In some vehicles, the coolant temperature display may be displayed on the screen of the
portable navigation device (delivered by Volkswagenyf ⇒ Accessories, modifications, repairs and
renewal of parts.

Introduction
The cooling system is filled at the factory with a mixture of specially prepared water and at least

raises the boiling point of the coolant.
