WARNING
Vehicle health reports do not replace the information provided
by the vehicle warning and indicator lights. Failure to heed
warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause
the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and
serious personal injury.
Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and
where no part of the hot catalytic converter and exhaust system
can come into contact with flammable materials under the vehi-
cle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled fuel, etc.
A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself
and others. Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning
triangle to warn oncoming traffic.
Before opening the engine hood, always switch off the en-
gine and let the engine cool down.
Always be very careful when working in the engine compart-
ment, which is a potentially dangerous area in any motor vehi-
cle and can cause serious personal injury.

Seat heating must be switched on again if needed each time the igni-
tion is switched on.
Setting the ventilation level
Move the fan switch (2) all the way down toward the – symbol to
set the ventilation level to low.
Move the fan switch (2) to the middle position to set the ventilation
level to medium.
Move the fan switch (2) all the way up toward the + symbol to set
the ventilation level to high.
If the indicator light in the front seat (3) flashes, there is a malfunction
in the system. Have the system inspected by your authorized
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

NOTICE
To help prevent damage to the wiper blades and the wiper motor
when it is cold outside, always make sure that blades are not
frozen to the windshield before operating the wipers. Using the
windshield wiper service position can be helpful in cold weather
so the wipers do not freeze to the windshield ⇒  Windshield wip-
er service position.
Indicator light

sure values stored in your vehicle's TPMS may have to be adjusted
(reprogrammed). This requires professional assistance. For more
information, contact your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility.
Installing replacement tires with steel cord body plies in the tire side-
wall may cause malfunction of the TPMS, and is not recommended
(cord material information in molded on the tire sidewall).
Always check the TPMS indicator light after replacing one or more
tires on your vehicle. If the indicator light is on, the TPMS is not work-
ing properly. Your replacement tire might be incompatible with the
system, or some component of the TPMS may be damaged.
For detailed information about TPMS, how it works and what you
need to know ⇒ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
WARNING
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
personal injuries.
WARNING
Tires must have the required clearance. Tires that do not have
enough clearance can rub against parts of the vehicle body,
suspension, and brake system, causing brake system failure,
tread delamination, and sudden blowouts.
Always make sure that new tires are not larger than the tires
approved for your vehicle and that the new tires do not rub
against parts of the vehicle.
NOTICE
When switching to different tires, make certain the valves and
sensors are not damaged.
Never drive without valve stem caps. The valves and sensors
could be damaged.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System uses a pressure sensor in each
wheel. Signals from the sensors are transmitted to the TPMS.
The TPMS checks the tire pressure of all 4 tires while you are driving
and warns if there is a loss of pressure while the vehicle is moving.
Pressure loss that is 25% or more of the benchmark value pro-
grammed into the system is signaled by the indicator light (telltale)
described above, by acoustic warnings, and by text messages in the
instrument cluster display.
If you mount tires of a different size than the factory installed tires, an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility can adjust the benchmark TPMS tire pressure to match the
new tires. Without this adjustment, TPMS may not work correctly or at
all.
The tire pressure recommended for the tires originally installed on the
vehicle is on a sticker on the driver door jamb ⇒  Tire inflation pres-
sure.
Display in the instrument cluster
The display in the instrument cluster shows the vehicle with the actual
and benchmark tire pressures of all 4 road wheels ⇒ fig. 117

WARNING
Driving with bad brakes can cause a collision and serious per-
sonal injury.
If the brake warning light "2!+% or H does not go out, or
comes on when driving, either the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir is too low or there is a fault in the brake system. Stop the
vehicle as soon as you can do so safely and get expert assis-
tance ⇒  Brake fluid.
If the brake warning light "2!+% or H comes on at the same
time as the ABS warning light !"3 or J, the ABS may not be
working properly. This could cause the rear wheels to lock up
relatively quickly during braking. Rear wheel brake lock-up can
cause loss of vehicle control.
If you believe the vehicle is safe to drive, drive slowly and
very carefully to the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer, au-
thorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or other qualified work-
shop and have the brake system inspected. Avoid sudden hard
braking and steering.
If the ABS indicator light !"3 or J does not go out, or if it
comes on while driving, the ABS system is not working proper-
ly. The vehicle can then be stopped only with the standard
brakes (without ABS). You will not have the protection ABS
provides. Contact your authorized Volkswagen dealer or an au-
thorized Volkswagen Service Facility as soon as possible.
If the symbol "2!+% 7%!2 or I lights up in the instrument clus-
ter display, whether alone or together with a text message, im-
mediately contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or author-
ized Volkswagen Service Facility to have the brake pads
checked and, if necessary, replaced.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in
vehicle damage.
