The navigation map can be shown in two sizes. With the larger map size, the navigation map is 
displayed over the entire width of the display. To select the preferred map size:

or  arrow button on the multifunction steering wheel to select the required 
map size. A frame appears around the selected option. 
Press the button on the multifunction steering wheel to confirm your selection. 
With some equipment levels, navigation is shown on two screens or only one. The navigation map 
can be displayed on the Active Info Display and Infotainment system or only on the Infotainment 
system display. In the latter case, only navigation arrows are shown on the Active Info Display.

uneven ground, you could press the clutch by mistake and lose control of the vehicle. This also 
prevents power being transferred between the engine and the gearbox. In addition, driving with the 
clutch partially engaged causes premature wear to the clutch lining. 
Useful accessories for offroad driving 
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The checklist contains just a few items of equipment that can be very useful for offroad driving. If 
you have an instruction manual or fitting instructions for these accessories, you should always take 
them with you and observe them as necessary when driving offroad. 
Checklist 
Useful items when driving offroad: 
 
Water, compass, maps and torch with spare batteries. 
 
Winch, tow bar or rope with sufficient strength. 
 
Mobile telephone, shovel, blankets and rubber boots. 
 
Electrical air compressor for connection to the 12-volt sockets in the vehicle to inflate the tyres. 
 
A wooden board approx. 4 cm thick and approx. 1 metre long or an aluminium frame of similar size: 
this can be used to free a vehicle stuck in the mud and provide a platform for a vehicle jack. 
 
Snow chains, additional spare wheels, a breakdown set, jack and box spanner. 
Changing gear correctly 
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The correct choice of gear depends on the offroad terrain. 
Before attempting to drive through difficult terrain it can be helpful to stop and consider which gear 
you should select. After several trips offroad, you will learn which gear to select in conjunction with 
the step-down ratio and differential locks for different types of terrain. 
General rules  

Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator. In the event of a malfunction, the indicator lamp will flash for 65 
seconds and then light up continuously. However, the indicator lamp will go out when the road 
conditions or driving style change. 
Useful information about wheels and tyres 
 Introduction 
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects: 
Handling wheels and tyres
Wheel rims and wheel bolts
Tyre pressure
Tread depth and wear indicators
Tyre damage
Spare wheel or temporary spare wheel
Tyre lettering and tyre type
Maximum load and speed range for tyres
Winter tyres
Snow chains
The tyres are the most heavily loaded and most underestimated parts of a vehicle. Tyres are very 
important as the narrow tyre contact surfaces are the only contact between the vehicle and the 
road. 
The service life of tyres is dependent on tyre pressure, driving style, handling and correct fitting. 
 
WARNING 
New tyres or tyres which are old, worn down or damaged cannot provide full vehicle control and 
braking efficiency.

the same tread pattern. 
particularly carefully for the first 600 km in order to prevent accidents and serious injury. 
the tyre pressure is too low, it is possible that the tyre temperature will increase to such an extent 
when driving that the tread peels off and the tyre bursts.  

Information on the sticker Fig. 194 
Tyre pressure for the tyres on the front axle. 
Tyre pressure for the tyres on the rear axle. 
Note: check the tyre pressure when the tyres are cold. 
Tyre pressure for partial load. 
Vehicle-dependent: comfort tyre pressure for partial load. 
Tyre pressure for full load. 
Tyre pressure level for the spare or temporary spare wheel. 
The sticker provides the correct tyre pressure for approved tyres and is located either on the driver 
door pillar Fig. 195or inside the tank flap. 
The appearance of the sticker may differ between vehicles. It may include additional tyre sizes. 
The wrong tyre pressure will have a negative effect on the vehicle handling and leads to high levels 
of wear or even a burst tyre  at high speeds. 
Comfort tyre pressure

Speed limitation 
Winter tyres have a speed limit depending on the speed index Tyre lettering and tyre type 
Speed warning settings can be made and adjusted in the Infotainment system using the 
button and the and Tyres function buttons. 
If you use V-rated winter tyres, the speed limits and required tyre pressure are determined by the 
engine size. In this case, always ask a Volkswagen dealership about the maximum permitted speed 
and required tyre pressure. 
All-wheel drive (4MOTION) 
Thanks to its all-wheel drive, the vehicle has good traction in winter conditions, even with the 
standard tyres. Nevertheless, Volkswagen still recommends that winter tyres or all-year tyres should 
be fitted on all four wheels in winter, above all because this will give improved braking efficiency.

The improved driving characteristics afforded by the winter tyres in winter conditions should not 
encourage you to take any risks.

The vehicle handling is better if summer tyres are fitted at temperatures above +7

snow chains. 
On icy or snow-covered roads, snow chains will improve traction and braking response. 
Snow chains may be fitted only to the front wheels. They may be fitted only to the following tyre and

Volkswagen recommends that you ask your Volkswagen dealership for information about 
appropriate wheel, tyre and snow chain sizes. 
If possible, use snow chains with fine-pitch links which do not protrude more than 13.5 mm, 
including the tensioner. 
Remove centre wheel trims and rim trim rings before fitting snow chains 
caps must then be fitted over the wheel bolts. Caps are available from Volkswagen dealerships.
