Dynamic headlight range control
The headlight range cannot be adjusted manually if the vehicle has dynamic headlight range
control. The headlight range is automatically adapted to suit the vehicle load level as soon as the
headlights are switched on ⇒.
If you have different loads, you can select a position between the settings.
Switching over headlights for driving abroad (travel mode)
If you have to drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, the
asymmetric dipped beam headlights may dazzle oncoming traffic. Therefore the headlights need to
be switched over when you travel to these countries.
On vehicles with advanced main-beam control, the alignment of the headlights can be adjusted in
the Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Operation and display in the 
Infotainment system:
The function of the dynamic cornering light and advanced main-beam control is deactivated once
travel mode is activated. The main beam is then only switched on and off automatically.
Travel mode may only be used for a short period. Please contact a qualified workshop for a
permanent alteration. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Troubleshooting
Turn signal
Left or right turn signals. The indicator lamp will flash twice as fast if one of the turn signals
on the vehicle is not working. Check the exterior lighting.Does not apply in China and
Japan: trailer turn signal. The indicator lamp goes out if a trailer turn signal or all trailer lights stop
working. Check trailer lights.
Vehicle lighting
Vehicle lighting defective, in full or in part. Check the exterior lighting and change the
appropriate bulb as required ⇒ Changing bulbs. If all of the bulbs are in working order, go to a
qualified workshop.
Cornering light
The dynamic cornering light does not work when travel mode ⇒ Switching over headlights for 
driving abroad (travel mode) is activated.
In vehicles with driving profile selection, the selected driving profile can affect the swivelling motion
of the lights. For example, the dynamic cornering light is deactivated in the Eco driving profile
⇒ Driving profile selection and 4MOTION Active Control.
A corresponding display appears in the instrument cluster if there is a fault in the dynamic cornering
light. Go to a qualified workshop.
Advanced main-beam control
Advanced main-beam control will respond in the same way as the normal main-beam control and
switch main beam on or off automatically in the following situations:
Heavy objects in the vehicle can cause the headlights to dazzle and distract other road
users. This can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
•The light cone should always be adjusted to the load level of the vehicle to ensure that
other road users are not dazzled.
WARNING
Failure or malfunction in the dynamic headlight range control can cause the headlights to
dazzle or distract other road users. This can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
•The headlight range control should be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
WARNING
a)

•If the dynamic cornering light has been deactivated.
•If travel mode is activated ⇒ Switching over headlights for driving abroad (travel mode).
•When the Eco driving profile is selected in vehicles with driving profile selection ⇒ Driving 
profile selection and 4MOTION Active Control.
Interior lighting
Instrument and switch lighting
The brightness of the instrument and switch lighting and the basic brightness level of the Head-up
Display ⇒ Instrument cluster can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Operation and display in the Infotainment system.
The brightness setting is automatically adjusted to the changing light conditions in the vehicle.
When the light switch is in position , a sensor will switch the dipped beam and the lighting
in the instruments and switches on and off automatically depending on the ambient brightness
level.
When the light is switched off and the ignition switched on, the dash panel lighting (indicators
and scales) is switched on. As the ambient light becomes lower, the lighting of these scales is
automatically reduced and may be switched off entirely. This function is intended to remind the
driver to switch on the dipped beam in good time, i.e. when driving through tunnels.

Stowage compartment and luggage compartment lights
A light will be switched on and off automatically when the stowage compartment on the front
passenger side, or the boot lid, is opened or closed.
Background lighting
Depending on the equipment level, the background lighting provides indirect light in the various
areas of the vehicle interior.
The footwell and, where applicable, the closed blind of the glass roof may also be illuminated.
The brightness of the background lighting can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Operation and display in the Infotainment system.
The lights go out when the vehicle is locked or after a delay of a few minutes when the
vehicle key is removed from the ignition lock. This prevents the 12-volt battery from discharging.
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and
therefore change automatically when the user account changes ⇒ Personalisation.

WARNING

The following systems may be installed in the vehicle
The heating and fresh air system warms up and supplies fresh air to the vehicle interior. The
heating and fresh air system does not cool down the vehicle interior.
The manual air conditioning system or Climatronic cools down and dehumidifies the air. It
works most effectively when the windows and the glass roof are closed. If heat has built up in the
vehicle interior, opening the doors and windows can speed up the cooling process.
How the vehicle displays active functions
Lit up LEDs on rotary knobs and buttons indicate that a function has been switched on.
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and
therefore change when the user account changes ⇒ Personalisation.
Front controls
Fig. 109 In the upper section of the centre console: controls for the manual air conditioning system.
Poor visibility through the windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which
can cause serious injuries.
•Keep all windows free of ice, snow and misting to ensure good visibility.
•Set the heating, air conditioning and rear window heating controls to prevent the
windows from misting up.
•Only set off once all door windows, the windscreen and the rear window are clear.
•Use air recirculation mode only for short periods. If the cooling system is switched off,
the windows can mist up very quickly in air recirculation mode and reduce visibility
considerably.
•Switch off the air recirculation mode when it is no longer required.
WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which in turn can
cause collisions, accidents and serious injuries.
•Never switch off the blowers or switch on the air recirculation mode for longer periods
as this prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle interior.
WARNING
Do not place any food, medicine or any other temperature-sensitive items in front of the
vents. Heat-sensitive food, medicine and other items could be either damaged or rendered
useless.
NOTICE
If the air conditioning system is not working, switch the air conditioning system off
immediately and have it checked by a qualified workshop. This can help to prevent
secondary damage.
