2017 VOLKSWAGEN CC wheel

If the light switch is in position !54/, a low-light sensor switches the
low beams as well as the instrument and switch lighting on and off
automatically.
Daytime running lights (DRL) parking feature
Some models are equipped with a daytime running lights (DRL) park-
ing feature that switches the daytime running lights off when the vehi-
cle is parked and the ignition is switched on.

Function Action
Switching the DRL off: – Switch the ignition on.
– Turn the light switch to the /
position.
– Set the parking brake.
Switching the DRL back on: – Release the parking brake.

Static cornering lights
Your vehicle may have fog lights under the front bumper, which on
some models are also static cornering lights. On some models the
static cornering lights may be integrated in the headlights. At speeds
below about 25 mph (40 km/h), the light on one side of the vehicle will
come on automatically when you turn a corner. If you turn to the right,
the right fog light comes on; turn left and the left fog light comes on.
The light dims and goes out when the steering wheel is straightened
out again.
When you move the selector lever to Reverse (R), the static cornering
lights on both sides of the vehicle may come on so that you can see
the area around the vehicle better when backing up.
The static cornering lights work only when the headlights are on. If
you are using automatic headlight control (headlight switch in the !54/
position ⇒ fig. 86), they work only when the headlights have been
automatically switched on. The static cornering lights do not come on
when the headlight switch is in the / position or when the fog lights
themselves have been switched on ⇒ Switching lights on and off.

The delay period can be adjusted in 10 second intervals and the
function can be switched on and off in the Lights & Vision menu ⇒ 
Volkswagen Information System.
If the “Coming home” feature is switched on and the driver door is
opened, no warning chime will sound to alert you that the lights are
still on.

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 vehi-
cle interior.
During intermittent
wiping:
Speed-dependent interval control: The
higher the vehicle speed, the faster the
wipers move.

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 nozzles is automatically regulated depending on the outside
air temperature.
Headlight washer system
The headlight washer system cleans the headlight glass.
If the ignition and the headlights (high or low beams) are switched on,
the headlights are cleaned the first time and every fifth time the front
windshield washers are activated. This happens only when the low or
high beams are on when the windshield wiper lever is pulled towards
the steering wheel. However, the headlights must still be washed by
hand periodically (for instance, during refueling) in order to get rid of
hard-to-remove dirt (like insect splatter).
To help make sure that the headlight cleaning system works during
winter weather, always keep the headlight washer nozzles free of
snow and remove any ice with a deicer spray before driving. Use a
deicer spray to remove any ice.
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.

Secure luggage in the luggage compartment using suitable straps
and the tie downs ⇒ Tie-downs. Also see ⇒  Luggage compartment.
Adjust the headlight range, if necessary ⇒  Lights.
Check the pressure in all 4 tires when the tires are still cold. Never
reduce air pressure in warm tires to match cold tire inflation pressure.
Heed the information on the tire pressure label ⇒  Tires and wheels.
Pay especially close attention to your vehicle's Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System when driving with a heavy load ⇒ Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS).
NOTICE
Wires in the rear windows such as for heating or for an antenna
can be damaged by objects that rub against them.

Changing a wheel

WARNING
New tires or tires that are old, worn or damaged cannot provide
maximum control and braking performance.
Improper care and handling of tires and wheels can reduce
driving safety and cause accidents and severe injuries.
Install only radial tires of the same make, the same dimen-
sions (tread circumference), and similar tread profile on all
4 wheels.
New tires tend to be slippery and must be broken in. Always
drive with special care for the first 350 miles (560 km) to help
reduce the risk of losing control, a collision, and serious per-
sonal injuries.
Check tire inflation pressure regularly when the tires are cold
and always maintain the prescribed tire pressure. Low tire
pressure can cause tires to get too hot, resulting in tread sepa-
ration, sudden loss of pressure, and blowouts. Tires with ex-
cessively low pressure flex (bend) more, which can cause the
tire to overheat and fail suddenly without warning.
Check tires regularly for wear and damage.
Never drive with worn or damaged tires (for example, tires
with punctures, cuts, cracks, blisters, or bumps). Driving with
worn or damaged tires can lead to loss of vehicle control, sud-
den tire failure including blowouts and sudden deflation, crash-
es, and serious personal injuries.
Have worn or damaged tires replaced immediately.
Never exceed the maximum speed rating or the maximum
load rating of the tires on your vehicle.
The effectiveness of the driver assistance systems and the
braking support systems depends on the tire traction.
If you notice unusual vibration or if the vehicle pulls to one
side when driving, always stop as soon as it is safe to do so
and check the wheels and tires for damage.
To reduce the risk of losing control, crashes, and serious
personal injuries, never loosen the bolts on wheels with bolted
rim rings.

Never mount used tires on your vehicle if you are not sure of
their past use. Old, used tires and wheels may have damage
that cannot be seen that can lead to sudden tire failure and loss
of vehicle control.
Tires age even if they are not being used and can fail sudden-
ly, especially at high speeds, causing loss of vehicle control,
accidents, and severe personal injuries. Tires that are more
than 6 years old can be used only in an emergency and even
then only with special care and at low speed.
For technical reasons it is usually not possible to use wheel rims
from other vehicles. Even wheel rims from the same model may not fit
properly. Check with an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility if necessary.
