The trip odometer (trip) shows the distance driven since the last time
the trip odometer was reset. The last digit indicates 1/10 mile
(100 meters).
Outside temperature display
At outside temperatures below about +39 °F (+4 °C), a “snowflake
symbol” (icy road warning) appears in the display. The symbol flashes
at first, then stays on until the outside temperature rises above +43 °F
(+6 °C) ⇒ .
When the vehicle is not moving or when you are driving at very low
speeds, the temperature displayed may be slightly higher than the
actual outside temperature.
The measurement range is from -40 °F (-40 °C) to +122 °F (+50 °C).
Compass display (if applicable)
On vehicles equipped with compass display, the current compass
direction is indicated in the instrument cluster display when the igni-
tion and navigation system are switched on ⇒  Compass.
Selector lever positions
The selector lever position is shown both on the side of the selector
lever and in the instrument cluster display. The respective gear may
also be shown in the instrument cluster display in Drive D and Sport
Drive S, as well as in Tiptronic® mode.
Gear recommendation (manual transmission)
When the vehicle is moving, a fuel economy gear recommendation
may appear in the instrument cluster display ⇒  Shifting.

about how the apps collect, use and share information about you,
your vehicle or your mobile device.
The application software provided may be designed to be used for a
variety of purposes and be specific to your vehicle and country ⇒ .
The content, range of software provided and application software
provider can vary. Some application software is also subject to the
availability of services provided by third parties. In order for some
application software to work, wireless service reception must be
strong enough to handle the data exchange involved (text and data
rates apply).
Application software descriptions may be provided by the service pro-
vider.
Due to the multitude of mobile devices and fast pace of software de-
velopment, the application software provided may not run on all mo-
bile devices and their operating systems. This may even apply for the
same model of a mobile device. For example, application software
may run on version 2 of the device's operating system but not on ver-
sion 3.
Application software can be modified, discontinued, deactivated, re-
activated or expanded without any further notice.
In order for some application software to work, the wireless or cable
connection between the factory-installed Radio or Navigation system
and a compatible, functioning mobile device must be strong enough
and uninterrupted.
NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for vehicle damage caused by
inferior-quality or malicious application software, poorly pro-
grammed application software, insufficient wireless service re-
ception, data loss during transmission or misuse of mobile de-
vices.

WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge, etc., the brakes react
slower and need longer stopping distances.
Always dry the brakes and clean off any ice coatings with a
few careful applications of the brake. Make sure not to endan-
ger other motorists or cyclists or disobey legal requirements.
Avoid abrupt or sudden braking maneuvers immediately after
driving through water.
NOTICE
Vehicle components such as the engine, transmission, sus-
pension or electrical system may be severely damaged by driv-
ing through water.
Never drive through salt water. Salt causes vehicle corrosion.
Thoroughly rinse with fresh water all vehicle parts that were ex-
posed to salt water.

Starting off with a trailer on hills
Depending on how steep the hill is and the combined towing weight, a
parked vehicle with trailer can roll backwards when you first start
moving.
When starting off with a trailer on a hill:
Depress and hold the brake pedal (and depress and hold the clutch
- manual transmission).
Press the G button once to deactivate the electronic parking brake
⇒  Braking and parking.
Press the G button again and hold it to use the electronic parking
brake to help prevent the vehicle and trailer from rolling backwards. If
applicable, follow the instructions for the Hill Hold feature ⇒ Starting
assistance systems.
Shift into first gear or Drive D ⇒  Shifting.
Release the brake pedal.
Drive ahead slowly at first. If your vehicle has manual transmission,
slowly let out the clutch.
Do not release the G button until the engine starts to move the
vehicle forward. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, you
can also depress and hold the brake pedal for added braking and
then let up on the brake pedal when you feel that the vehicle “wants”
to move forward.
Drive ahead slowly.

flated, bears the load.
Chunking

Cord
The strands of material forming the plies in the tire.
Cord separation
The parting of cords from adjacent rubber compounds.
Cracking
Any parting within the tread, sidewall, or inner liner of the tire extend-
ing to cord material.
Cold tire inflation pressure
