injuries.
Pedestrian Monitoring
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Pedestrian Monitoring can help to avoid accidents with pedestrians crossing the vehicle's path or to
mitigate the consequences of an accident.
The system gives a warning when there is a risk of collision, prepares the vehicle for emergency
braking, helps to brake the vehicle or performs an automatic brake intervention. In the event of an
advance warning, the warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster
When Front Assist is switched on, Pedestrian Monitoring is active as part of Front Assist in a vehicle
speed range from approx. 5 km/h (3 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).
Pedestrian Monitoring is not available in all countries, depending on the vehicle equipment level.

WARNING
The intelligent Pedestrian Monitoring technology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by the
Pedestrian Monitoring system tempt you into taking any safety risks when driving. The driver is
always responsible for braking in time.
If Pedestrian Monitoring issues a warning, brake your vehicle immediately depending on the traffic
situation or avoid the pedestrian.
Pedestrian Monitoring cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.
Pedestrian Monitoring can issue unnecessary warnings and carry out unwanted braking
interventions in complex driving situations, e.g. on a main road that turns sharply.
Pedestrian Monitoring can issue unnecessary warnings and carry out unwanted braking
interventions when its function is impaired, e.g. if the radar sensor is covered or its position has
been changed.
Be prepared to take over control of the vehicle yourself at all times.
Operating the area monitoring system (Front Assist)
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Front Assist and the advance warning (in some countries) are automatically switched on when you
switch on the ignition.
However, the system is not available or its functions are restricted for a period of around 30 seconds
(also longer, depending on the driving situation).

the driver and can keep the vehicle in lane
automatically, or brake the vehicle to a standstill if required. The system can therefore actively help
to prevent an accident.
Emergency Assist is an extension of the lane keeping system (Lane Assist), and combines these
functions with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Please therefore read both these chapters and
observe the information about the system limits and warnings.
Description
If there is no driver activity, Emergency Assist prompts the driver to take control of the vehicle again
by visual and acoustic warnings and by braking jolts.
If the driver remains inactive, the system automatically controls the accelerator, brake and steering
to slow the vehicle down and keep it in lane t stopping distance, the system
decelerates the vehicle to a complete stop and switches on the electronic parking brake
automatically Operating the electronic parking brake
When Emergency Assist is actively controlling the vehicle, the hazard warning lights are switched on
and the vehicle performs slight snaking movements within its lane to warn other road users.
The hazard warning lights can be deactivated by pressing the accelerator or brake, by making a
steering intervention or, depending on the situation, by pressing the button for the hazard warning
lights.
When Emergency Assist has been triggered, the system is not available again until the ignition has
been switched off and then back on.
Prerequisites
The lane keeping system and ACC are switched on.
The selector lever is in position D/S or in the Tiptronic gate.
The system has detected a lane marking on both the right and left sides of the vehicle Fig. 123
Switching Emergency Assist on and off
Emergency Assist is activated automatically when the lane keeping system Driving with the lane
keeping systemis switched on.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in Emergency Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time.
Emergency Assist cannot always prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.

Clean the radar sensors or remove stickers or accessories from the radar sensors, mirrors and
bumper Caring for and cleaning the vehicle exterior
Check whether any damage is visible.
The system is not responding as expected
The radar sensors are dirty. The sensor visibility may be impaired by dirt and snow or also residue
from cleaning agents or coatings Caring for and cleaning the vehicle exterior
The prerequisites for system operation must be met System limits
The radar sensors are covered by water.
The vehicle is damaged in the area of the radar sensors, e.g. caused by parking collisions.
The detection ranges of the radar sensors are blocked by add-on parts, e.g. bicycle carriers.
Changes have been made to the paintwork in the area of the radar sensors or structural
modifications have been made, e.g. on the vehicle front end or the running gear.
Only Volkswagen-approved vehicle paints may be used on the rear bumper. Other vehicle paints can
restrict the function of the system or cause faults.
Tinting foils have been retrofitted on the side windows.
Parking and manoeuvring
Parking
Stopping and parking the vehicle
The actions should be carried out only in the given order:
Stop the vehicle on a suitable surface
Depress and hold the brake pedal until the engine has stopped.
Switch on the electronic parking brake Electronic parking brake is
switched on when the indicator lamp in the button Fig. 125lights up yellow and the indicator
lamp in the instrument cluster display lights up red.
On vehicles with a manual gearbox, either fully depress or disengage the clutch.
With an automatic gearbox, move the selector lever to position P.
Switch off the engine and take your foot off the brake pedal.
Turn the steering wheel slightly if necessary to engage the steering lock mechanism.
With a manual gearbox, select first gear for flat ground and uphill gradients, or reverse gear for
downhill gradients, and then release the clutch.
Please ensure that all occupants, in particular children, leave the vehicle.

Lock the vehicle.
Additional points to note on uphill and downhill gradients
Before switching off the engine, turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels will roll against the
kerb if the parked vehicle starts to move.
When facing downhill, turn the wheels so that they face the kerb.
When facing uphill, turn the wheels so that they face the centre of the road.

WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires and serious injuries.
Never park the vehicle where parts of the exhaust system can come into contact with inflammable
material underneath the vehicle, e.g. undergrowth, leaves, dry grass, spilt fuel, oil etc.

WARNING
The vehicle may roll away if you leave and park the vehicle incorrectly. This can cause accidents and
serious injuries.
Ensure that the electronic parking brake is switched on before you leave the vehicle and the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up red after you switch off the ignition.
Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition if the vehicle is in motion. The steering lock may be
activated and you will no longer be able to steer or control the vehicle.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could switch off the
electronic parking brake, or move the selector lever or gearshift lever, and thus set the vehicle in
motion.
Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. The engine can be started and
electrical equipment such as the window controls can be operated. This can cause serious injury.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could become trapped
in the vehicle in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked
vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures depending on the season. This can
cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially in the case of small children.

NOTICE
Objects that protrude from the ground can damage the bumper and other components when
parking the vehicle or driving out of a parking space. Always take care when driving into parking
spaces with high kerbs or fixed boundaries. Stop before the wheels touch the fixed boundaries or
kerbs.

-lying vehicle components such as the bumper, spoiler and parts of the running gear, engine or
exhaust system could be damaged. Drive carefully through dips in the road and over drive entrances,
ramps, kerbstones and other objects.

Please adhere to relevant legislation when stopping and parking your vehicle.
