2018 VOLKSWAGEN CC ignition

1) Do not use Rear Assist in the following situations:
– If the area behind the vehicle cannot be seen clearly or complete-
ly.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– When the luggage compartment lid is open.
– If the driver is not familiar with the system.
– If the position or angle of the camera has changed, such as after a
rear-end collision. Have the system checked by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.


2) Examples of optical distortion by the camera:
The Rear Assist camera displays only two-dimensional images. Re-
cesses and protruding objects on the ground or protruding parts on
other vehicles are difficult or impossible to identify due to the lack of
depth of field.
Objects or another vehicle may seem closer or farther away on the
screen than they really are:
– When driving from a level surface onto an upward or downward
slope.
– When driving up or down a slope onto a level surface.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– When approaching protruding objects. These objects can disap-
pear from the field of view when backing up.

Cleaning the camera lens
Keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice:
Engage the parking brake.
Switch on the ignition.

WARNING
Improper refueling or handling of fuel is dangerous and can
cause fire, explosion, and severe burns.
Always make sure that the fuel filler cap is screwed on all the
way. This helps keep fuel from spilling out or evaporating.
Fuel is highly flammable and explosive; it can cause severe
burns and other severe injuries.
Failure to shut the engine off while refueling and/or to insert
the pump nozzle all the way into the fuel filler neck can cause
fuel to overflow and to spray out. Fuel spray and overflowing
fuel are dangerous because they can cause fire and serious
personal injury.
During refueling, the engine and the ignition must be
switched off for safety reasons.
Never use a mobile telephone, CB radio, or other radio
equipment while refueling. The electromagnetic radiation can
cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
Never get back into your vehicle while refueling. If in excep-
tional circumstances you must get back in your vehicle while
refueling, make certain that you close the door and touch metal
to discharge static electricity before touching the filler nozzle
again. This helps avoid the buildup of static electricity, which
can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors released during
refueling.
Never smoke or have an open flame (or sparks, cigarettes, or
other smoldering objects) anywhere in or near your vehicle
when refueling or filling a portable fuel container.
Follow all safety instructions and procedures that apply at
the service station where you refuel.
Never spill fuel in the vehicle or the luggage compartment.

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.
Fuel filler cap not properly closed

WARNING
Unintended vehicle movement during maintenance work can
cause serious personal injuries.
Never work under the vehicle unless you have safely secured
the vehicle from moving. If you must work under the vehicle
with the wheels on the ground, always make sure that the vehi-
cle is on level ground, that all 4 wheels are chocked to keep
them from moving, and that the key is not in the ignition.
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, al-
ways make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle. The jack supplied with the
vehicle is not strong enough for this purpose and can collapse
causing serious personal injury.

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.

WARNING
Moving parts in the engine compartment can cause serious
personal injury on contact.
Never reach into the area around or touch the radiator fan.
Contact with the blades can cause serious personal injury. Al-
ways remember that the radiator fan is temperature-controlled
and can come on suddenly even when the engine has been
switched off for a while and the key has been removed from the
ignition.
If you have to perform a check or repair when the engine is
running, there are more risks from the rotating parts, such as
the drive belts, alternator, radiator fan, etc., and from the high-
voltage ignition system. Always use extreme care.
– Always make sure that jewelry, loose clothing and long hair
do not get caught in rotating engine parts. Before starting
any work remove your jewelry, take off your necktie, tie back
and cover your hair, and do not wear clothing that can hang
down and get caught in moving engine parts.
– Always use extreme caution if the accelerator pedal has to
be depressed to perform a check. The vehicle will start to
move even if the electronic parking brake is on.
Never leave any objects in the engine compartment, for ex-
ample cleaning rags and tools. Objects left behind can cause
malfunctions, engine damage, and even fires.

WARNING
Operating fluids and some materials in the engine compartment
can catch fire easily, causing burns and other serious personal
injuries!
Never smoke near the engine compartment.
Never work next to open flames or sparks.
Never pour or spill operating fluids or other flammable liq-
uids on the engine. These fluids can ignite on hot engine parts
and cause injuries.
If work on the fuel system or the electrical system is neces-
sary:
– Always disconnect the 12 Volt vehicle battery. Make sure
the vehicle is unlocked when you disconnect the battery, or
the alarm will go off. Never touch the electrical wiring of the
ignition system.
– Never work near heaters, water heaters, or other open
flames.
Always have a functional, approved fire extinguisher nearby.
NOTICE
When changing or topping off fluids, make sure that you pour
the fluids into the correct reservoirs. Adding the wrong type of
operating fluids will cause serious malfunctions and engine
damage.
Fluid leaks and spills are harmful to the environment. Regularly
check the ground underneath your vehicle for this reason. If you find
spots of oil or other fluids, have your vehicle checked by your author-
ized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Dispose of leaked operating fluids properly.
