The essentials
To protect the cooling system, the percentage
of a
d
ditive must always be at least 40 %,
even in warm climates where anti-freeze pro-
tection is not required.
If for weather reasons further protection is
necessary, the proportion of additive may be
increased, but only up to 60 %; otherwise an-
tifreeze protection will diminish and this will
worsen cooling.
When the coolant is topped up, use a mixture
of distilled water and at least 40 % of the
G13 or G12 plus-plus (TL-VW 774 G) additive
(both are purple) to obtain an optimum anti-
corrosion protection ››› in Topping up cool-
ant on p ag
e 275

. The mixture of G13 with
G12 plus (TL-VW 774 F), G12 (red) or G11
(green-blue) engine coolants will significant-
ly reduce anti-corrosion protection and
should therefore be avoided ››› in Topping

In the Easy Connect system it is also possible
t o per
form
various adjustments to the Clima-
tronic ››› Fig. 189.
Open the air conditioner menu
● Press the  button on the Climatronic
c ontr
ol

panel.
On the top of the screen you can see and
change the current settings, such as, for ex-
ample, the temperature set for the driver side

SETTINGS
The air conditioning settings submenu
is opened. The following settings can al-
so be adjusted:
Air conditioning profile. : Ad-
just the power of the fan in AUTO mode.
You can choose between low, medium
and high.
Automatic air recirculation :
Switching automatic air recirculation on
and off ››› page 176.
Automatic supplementary heat-
er : Activate/deactivate the automatic
activation of the auxiliary heater for
colder countries (only for engines with
auxiliary heater). With the option deacti-
vated, depending on the outside tem-
perature the heating may need more
time than normal to reach a comfortable
temperature.
BACK : Close the submenu. Air conditioning user instructions
The interior cooling system only works when
the en
gine i
s ru

nning and fan is switched on.
The air conditioner operates most effectively
with the windows and the panoramic sliding
sunroof closed. However, if the vehicle has
heated up after standing in the sun for some
time, the air inside can be cooled more quick- ly by opening the windows and the panoram-
ic sliding s

unroof briefly.
Climatronic: change the temperature unit on
the screen of the radio or on the factory-fit-
ted navigation system
Changing the temperature display from Cel-
sius to Fahrenheit on radio or on the factory-
fitted navigation system is done using the
menu on the instrument panel
›››  page 36.
The cooling system cannot be activated
If the air conditioning system cannot be
switched on, this may be caused by the fol-
lowing:
● The engine is not running.
● The fan is switched off.
● The air conditioner fuse has blown.
● The outside temperature is lower than ap-
proxim
ately +3°C (+38°F).
● The air conditioner compressor has been
temporarily
switched off because the engine
coolant temperature is too high.
● Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air
conditioner check
ed by a specialised work-
shop.
