2017 VOLKSWAGEN CC warning light

WARNING
Rear Assist is not able to give you a clear and undistorted view
of all areas behind the vehicle.
The camera has blind spots in which it cannot detect people
and objects.
Always be careful and look around you when parking. The
camera cannot show people, animals, and objects in certain
situations. Watch out for small children and animals in particu-
lar.
Due to the screen resolution or in low-light conditions, the
camera may not pick up thin posts, chain-link fences and simi-
lar fences, and other objects, or it may not show them clearly.
The camera lens enlarges and distorts the field of vision and
causes objects on the screen to appear altered and imprecise.
Always keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice;
do not cover the lens.
WARNING
Rear Assist technology cannot overcome the laws of physics
and the limits of the system. Careless or unintentional use of
Rear Assist may result in accidents and severe injuries.
Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic,
weather, and visibility conditions.
Always keep an eye on the parking direction and the vehicle
surroundings. The front of the vehicle swings out more than the
rear of the vehicle.
Never pay so much attention to the graphics shown on the
screen that you fail to notice what is going on around you.
Always watch for people, especially small children, animals,
and objects, because the camera may not always be able to de-
tect them.
The system may not be able to clearly show everything be-
hind the vehicle.
Use Rear Assist only when the luggage compartment lid is
completely closed.

In order to Operation
view camera dis-
play (if equipped): OR: Tap the function key Z or 26# on the dis-
play.

The indicator light in the button  ⇒ fig. 157 comes on and stays on
as long as the feature is active.
A chime sounds to tell you that the system is on. If the chime does
not sound, PDC is not working. Have the system inspected by an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility.
Special considerations when using Park Distance Control
In some cases, the Park Distance Control interprets water and ice
on the sensors as an obstacle.
If the distance remains the same, the warning tone volume de-
creases after a few seconds. If a continuous tone sounds, its volume
remains the same.
If the vehicle moves away from the obstacle, the beeping sound
stops automatically. The beep turns on again automatically if the ve-
hicle approaches the obstacle again.
For vehicles with automatic transmissions, there is no beeping
when the transmission is in Park (P) and the electronic parking brake
is engaged.
The volume of the audible signals can be adjusted by an author-
ized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facili-
ty.
Muting the Park Distance Control volume
You can mute the PDC beeping signals by tapping the  function
key on the Radio or Navigation system screen (if applicable). Tap the
function key again to reactivate the acoustic signals.
Switching Park Distance Control back on after it was switched off re-
activates the volume. System malfunction warning signals cannot be
switched off.
If you manually deactivate the display, PDC remains on and the
sound is reactivated.

WARNING
Never rely completely on the PDC for information about people
and objects that might be in the way of the vehicle and could be
struck by the vehicle causing serious personal injury.
The PDC sensors have blind spots where they cannot detect
people or objects.
Always watch for people, especially small children and ani-
mals, because the sensors may not always be able to detect
them.
If you hear a long beep lasting about 3 seconds when you first
turn PDC on or the indicator light in the button starts blinking, this
means there is a malfunction in the Park Distance Control system.
Switch off the Park Distance Control system with the button and have
it immediately checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

When the ignition is switched on, several warning and indicator lights
come on briefly for a function check. They go out after a few seconds.

WARNING
Disregarding the safety-related checklist may lead to accidents
and injuries.
Please note and follow the points listed in the checklist.

WARNING
The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially
dangerous area and can cause serious personal injury.
Always use extreme caution when doing any work in the en-
gine compartment. Always follow commonly accepted safety
practices and use common sense. Never risk personal injury.
Never perform any work in the engine compartment unless
you know exactly how to carry out the job and have the correct
technical information and the correct tools.
If you are uncertain about what to do, have the work per-
formed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer, an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility, or another qualified workshop.
Serious personal injury may result from improperly performed
work.
We strongly recommend that you always have HID – High In-
tensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights and H7 bulbs replaced by
a qualified technician. Serious personal injury may result from
improperly performed work.
Never open or close the engine hood if steam or coolant is
escaping. Hot steam or coolant can cause serious burns. Al-
ways wait until you no longer see or hear steam or coolant es-
caping from the engine.
Always let the engine cool down completely before carefully
opening the hood.
Hot parts of the engine and the exhaust system will burn skin
on contact.
When the engine has cooled down and you are ready to open
the hood:
– Firmly apply the parking brake and shift the transmission
into Park (P) (automatic) or Neutral (manual only).
– Take the vehicle key out of the ignition.
– On vehicles with Keyless Access, make sure that the re-
mote control vehicle key is out of range of the vehicle and
that the vehicle cannot be started by depressing the starter
button ⇒  Starter button.
– Always keep children and others away from the engine
compartment and never leave them unsupervised.

The engine coolant system is under pressure when the en-
gine is hot. Never unscrew the coolant expansion tank cap
when the engine is hot. Hot coolant can spray out and cause
severe burns and other serious injuries.
– Turn the cap slowly and very carefully in a counterclock-
wise direction while applying light downward pressure on the
top of the cap.
– Always protect your face, hands, and arms from hot escap-
ing coolant or steam by covering the cap with a large, thick
rag.
Never spill fluids on the engine or exhaust system when re-
filling. Spilling fluids onto hot parts of the engine or exhaust
system can cause a fire.
WARNING
High voltage systems in the engine compartment can cause
electrical shocks or even electrocution, severe burns, other se-
rious injuries, and even death!
Never short-circuit the electrical system. Be especially care-
ful when using jumper cables. The vehicle's battery could ex-
plode!
To reduce the risk of electrical shock and personal injury
while the engine is running or being started:
– Never touch ignition cables. Never touch other compo-
nents of the high voltage electronic ignition system.
– Never touch the wiring of the HID – High Intensity Dis-
charge (Xenon) headlights.
Read and heed the important information and warnings on
cleaning the engine compartment ⇒  Cleaning the engine com-
partment.

properly in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regu-
lations.
