Driver information 
Symbols in instrument cluster 
The warning and indicator lamps indicate various warnings, faults or certain functions. Some 
warning and indicator lamps light up when the ignition is switched on and must go out once the 
engine is running or the vehicle is in motion. 
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, symbols may be displayed in the instrument cluster 
instead of warning lamps.

to the windscreen, the wiper blades and the wiper motor: 
The wiper lever is located in the basic position. 
Snow and ice have been removed from the wiper blades and door windows. 
Wiper blades that have become frozen onto the glass have been carefully loosened. Volkswagen 
recommends using a de-icer spray for this. 
 
NOTICE 
Do not switch on the wipers when the window is dry. Using the wipers when the window is dry can 
damage the glass. 
 
When switched on, the wipers will temporarily be switched to the next setting down when the 
vehicle is stationary. 
 
When parking the vehicle in cold weather, it may be helpful to leave the front windscreen wipers in 
the service position to make it easier to loosen the wiper blades Wiper blades 
Wiper function 
Automatic activation of the rear window wiper 
The rear window wiper is switched on automatically if the windscreen wipers are switched on and 
reverse gear is engaged. Automatic switch-on when reverse gear is selected can be activated and 
deactivated in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls 
and displays 
Heated washer jets 
The heating defrosts frozen washer jets. The heating output is automatically regulated depending on 
the ambient temperature when the ignition is switched on. Only the jets are heated, not the hoses 
that the washer fluid flows through.
