2018 VOLKSWAGEN CC steering wheel

When a turn signal is set, unnecessary lines and areas are hidden.
Orientation lines overview
Meaning of the orientation lines and areas projected on screen
⇒ fig. 155. All distances of the orientation lines refer to a vehicle on a
level surface.
(1) Red: Safety distance. Area up to about 16 inches (40 cm) behind
the vehicle on the road.
(2) Vehicle's width limits.
(3) Point to change steering angle.
When the yellow line touches the curb or any other parking
space boundary, the steering wheel must be turned in the oppo-
site direction (close-up view).
(4) The area parallel to the vehicle that is needed for parking. The
area shown must fit completely into the parking space.
(5) Parked vehicle at the curb.
Parking
Position the vehicle about 3 feet (1 meter) away from and parallel
to the parking space and shift into Reverse.
On the screen of the navigation system, activate Mode 2 for paral-
lel parking.
Back up slowly and steer the vehicle so that the yellow surface on
the screen is flush with the side boundary of the parking space (such
as the curb) and stops short of any obstacle (5), such as another ve-
hicle.
Turn the steering wheel as far as it will go into the direction of the
parking space and slowly back up.
Once the yellow line (3) touches the side of the parking space, for
example, a marking or the curb (close-up view), turn the steering
wheel as far as it will go in the opposite direction.
Continue backing up until the vehicles is positioned in the parking
space parallel to the road. If necessary, correct the parking position.
It may take up to 5 seconds for the area detected by the sensors
to be displayed on the factory-installed radio or navigation system
screen.

WARNING
Using solvents or other improper cleaning products on surfac-
es where airbags are located can change the way airbags de-
ploy in a crash.
Products containing solvents will change the properties of
the plastics and may cause plastic parts to break and fly
around when the airbag deploys in a crash, causing injury.
Never use solvents or cleaners on the steering wheel horn
pad or on the instrument panel because they can damage the
airbag cover or change the stiffness or strength of the material
so that the airbag cannot deploy and protect properly.
When cleaning the horn pad and instrument panel, use only a
soft, dry cloth or a cloth moistened with plain water.
Cleaning the safety belts

WARNING
Items stored between the safety belt buckle and the center con-
sole can cause safety belt buckle to send the wrong infor-
mation to the airbag control unit and prevent the Advanced Air-
bag System from working properly.
Always make sure that nothing can interfere with the safety
belt buckles and that they are not obstructed.
WARNING
Improper care and servicing, and improper modification and
repair work, can increase the risk of personal injury and death
by preventing an airbag from deploying when needed or de-
ploying an airbag unexpectedly:
Never repair, adjust, or change any parts of the airbag sys-
tem.
All work on the airbag system, steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seats or electrical system (including the installation
of audio equipment, mobile telephones and CB radios, etc.)
should be performed by authorized Volkswagen dealers or au-
thorized Volkswagen Service Facilities. They have the neces-
sary manuals, training, and special equipment.
The airbag system can be activated only once. After an air-
bag has inflated, it must be replaced.
Use only original equipment airbags approved by
Volkswagen. Have them installed by a trained technician who
has the necessary tools and diagnostic equipment to properly
replace any airbag in your vehicle and assure system effective-
ness in a crash.
Never permit salvaged or recycled airbags to be installed in
your vehicle.
Undeployed airbag modules and safety belt pretensioners are
classified as Perchlorate Material. Special handling may apply – see
http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. Obey all appli-
cable legal requirements regarding handling and disposal of the vehi-
cle or parts of its restraint system, including airbag modules and safe-
ty belts with pretensioners. Authorized Volkswagen dealers and au-

charged. You might also experience more dropped calls and an over-
all impaired quality of the connection.
Therefore we strongly recommend that you use your mobile tele-
phone in your vehicle only when it is properly attached to an appro-
priate cradle mounted on a base plate on the instrument panel.
Because of the large number and variety of mobile telephones on the
market and the frequency with which new models are introduced,
Volkswagen does not offer cradles for mobile telephones. Please
check with the manufacturer of the mobile telephone that you plan to
use.

WARNING
A mobile phone on the seat, instrument panel or in other places
can be thrown around the inside of the vehicle during a sudden
braking maneuver, a crash or other accident and injure vehicle
occupants.
Never place or attach accessories or other objects (such as
cup holders, telephone brackets, note pads, navigation sys-
tems, large, heavy or bulky objects) on the doors, on the wind-
shield, over or near the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, backrests or between these areas and
the occupant. Such objects could cause serious injury in a col-
lision, especially if an airbag inflates.

sion into Park (P)) ⇒  Automatic transmission: Selector lever. Man-
ual transmission only: shift into a gear ⇒  Manual transmission:

⇒ fig. 192, making sure that the entire base of the jack rests se-
curely on the ground.
10. Align the jack and wind up the jack claw at the same time, until
the claw cradles the vertical rib underneath the vehicle ⇒ fig. 192.
11. Continue cranking up the jack until the wheel is just a little off
the ground.

The vehicle may only be lifted by a jack positioned at one of the four
jack lift points ⇒ .

WARNING
Never tow a vehicle without any electrical power.
Never remove the remote control vehicle key from the igni-
tion switch or turn off the ignition with the starter button while
the vehicle is moving. The electronic steering column lock
could suddenly engage, and you would not be able to steer or
control the vehicle. You can lose control of the vehicle, crash,
and seriously injure yourself and others.
If the vehicle loses power while it is being towed, stop towing
the vehicle immediately and contact your authorized
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility
for assistance.
WARNING
Towing a vehicle changes the way it handles and brakes. To
help reduce the risk of an accident and serious personal injury,
note the following:
The driver of the vehicle that is being towed:
– Since the brake booster also does not work when the en-
gine is stopped, you will need to press harder on the brake
pedal to slow down or stop. Always be alert so as not to rear-
end the towing vehicle.
– Will have to use considerably more force to turn the steer-
ing wheel because the power steering is not working.
The driver of the vehicle that is doing the towing:
– Must accelerate gradually and gently and avoid jerking
movements.
– Must not brake hard or steer sharply.
– Must brake earlier and more gently than in normal driving.
NOTICE
Be careful not to damage the paint when installing and remov-
ing the towing eye and the cover for the threaded hole behind
the bumper.

electrical system is operating. In the following situations, the vehicle
cannot be towed at all and must be transported on a flatbed truck or
trailer:
If the front and rear wheels cannot turn.
If the vehicle battery is dead (because the electronic steering col-
umn lock engages and cannot be released).
If you have to tow an automatic transmission vehicle more than
30 miles (50 km).
WARNING
It is not safe for children or other persons to ride in a vehicle
that is being towed.
Never let children or anyone else remain in the vehicle while
it is being towed.
NOTICE
The drive axle rotates while the vehicle is being towed with its
rear wheels off the ground. This can damage the automatic
transmission.
Never tow automatic transmission vehicle with the rear wheels
off the ground.
Tow manual transmission vehicles with the rear wheels off the
ground only if it is certain that no transmission fluid can leak
out.
