tration of the driver.
x Adapt your speed and distance from the
vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
x Your hands should always be on the
steering wheel so that you can steer at
any time.
x Observe the displays in the exterior mir-
ror housings and on the instrument clus-
ter display and act in accordance with
the requests.
x Always pay attention to what is happen-
ing around the vehicle.
x Never use the lane change system if the
radar sensors are dirty, covered or dam-
aged. These circumstances can impair
the proper functioning of the system.
x It may be hard to see the display in the
wing mirror in direct sunlight. The radar sensors calibrate themselves
once in the first f
ew kilometres after
vehicle delivery and if the sensors are re-
paired. The sensor range may be limited dur-
ing the calibration phase. Driving with the lane change
system

In the e
xterior mirror housing: visual
displays of the lane change system.
Switching on and off
You can switch the lane change system on
and off in the Assist systems menu of the In-
fotainment system. When the lane change
system is switched on, the yellow indicator
lamp in the exterior mirror housing lights
up once briefly.
This most recent system setting is retained
e

ven after the ignition has been switched off
and on.
Function
When switched on, the lane change system is
active from a speed of around 15 km/h
(9 mph). The lane change system is deactiva-
ted at a vehicle speed below 10 km/h
(6 mph).
In the following driving situations, the yellow
indicator lamp lights up in the housing of
the respectiv

e exterior mirror:

The yellow indicator lamp flashes if a pos-
sible critical situation is detected when you
indicate in the direction of the detected v
ehi-
cle.
The faster another vehicle approaches, the
earlier there is a corresponding display in the
exterior mirror.
Lane change system “Side Assist Plus”
If the vehicle is equipped with a lane keeping
system (Lane Assist) and the system is
switched on, the driver is warned by a correc-
tive steering intervention when changing
lanes during a possible critical situation (in-
formation level, warning level). The steering
intervention also occurs when the turn signal
is activated for the corresponding direction. If
the steering intervention is overridden by the
driver, the steering wheel vibrates to give an
additional warning. For this, steering wheel
vibration must be activated in the Assist sys-
tems menu in the Infotainment system.
Automatic deactivation
The lane change system will switch off auto-
matically if the radar sensors are permanent-
ly covered. This can be caused by a layer of
ice or snow in front of the radar sensor, for
example.
A text message will be shown on the instru-
ment cluster display.
If you use the factory-fitted trailer towing
coupling and have set up the necessary elec-
trical connection, the lane change system
switches off automatically. After you have
disconnected the electrical connection, the
lane change system is switched back on au-
tomatically.
If the trailer towing coupling is not factory-
fitted, you must manually switch off the lane
change system and then switch it back on
again.
Brightness
The brightness of the visual display will
change automatically depending on the am-
bient light levels. You can adjust the basic brightness of the
display in the Assist systems menu in the In-
f
otainment system. The lane change system
is not active during the setting procedure. Troubleshooting

ter on page 172. Lane change system fault.

low central warning lamp also lights up.

Finding a suitable parking space
To ensure that a suitable parking space can
be displayed and detected correctly, the f
ol-
lowing prerequisites must be met:

x
Regularly update the appropriate anti-
virus program with the updates or up-
grades pro
vided by the provider.System update
Introduction to the topic
The factory-fitted central control unit sup-
ports the system update function. This allows
the software of almost all control units to be
updated by V

olkswagen AG without the need
to visit a qualified workshop:
If a system update is available for your vehi-
cle, a corresponding message will be dis-
played on the Infotainment system.
System updates are downloaded via the fac-
tory-fitted control unit with eSIM card (OCU)
and are free of charge. Volkswagen pays the
connection costs.
The system update function is only available
in some countries. WARNING
Control units will be deactivated and will
not function while software installation is
taking place. Driving with deactiv

ated or
malfunctioning control units can cause ac-
cidents and fatal injuries.
x Carry out software installation in a suita-
ble place where other road users are not
impeded.
x Never use the vehicle while software in-
stallation is taking place. WARNING
If the digital instrument cluster does not
function after software installation, no in-
struments, warning lamps, symbols or te

xt
messages can be displayed. Driving with
a digital instrument cluster that is not
working can cause accidents and fatal inju-
ries. x
Do not use the v
ehicle and contact
Volkswagen Customer Care. WARNING
It is possible in very rare cases that a con-
trol unit will not function properly after
a software installation process.
x Do not use the v

ehicle and contact
Volkswagen Customer Care. A measure such as engine tuning to in-
crease perf

ormance or efficiency that
has not been performed by Volkswagen may
be deleted by a system update. Overview
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 196.
A

vailability of a system update
The switched-on Infotainment system indi-
cates that a system update is available. A sys-
tem update takes place in two phases:

Grey globe: it is not currently possi-
ble to establish a connection to the
Internet or a connection is currently
being set up. Signal strength display of the
eSIM with a
vailable mobile com-
munication standard.
Legally required services can influence the
status display for data transmission inde-
pendently of activated offline mode.
Even if offline mode is activated, on-
line mode can be activated briefly by
safety-relevant and legally required services.
No We Connect Start services are activated
and no data of these services is transmitted
during this time. Offline mode will be reacti-
vated and the eSIM deactivated again after
successful transfer of the safety-relevant or
legally required data. Signal strength display of the eSIM
The signal strength display shows in online
mode whether the eSIM of the factory-instal-
led OCU can transmit and receiv

e data at the
current vehicle location and how good the
signal strength is.
The more bars that are highlighted in colour,
the stronger the signal and the larger the
amount of data that can be transferred. Ex-
ample: one or two highlighted bars indicate
a low signal strength. There may be restric-
tions in this case for the high data transfer
rates for streaming services.
The signal strength display functions inde-
pendently of the mobile communication
standard display.
There is no signal strength display in offline
mode and in the event of faults in the eSIM.
The signal strength display of the eSIM
does not show the signal strength of
a mobile device paired with the Infotainment
system.
The signal strength display of the eSIM does
not show whether a Wi-Fi device connected
to the Infotainment system is connected to
the Internet. Effects on online vehicle func-
tions
If data transf

er is restricted, the following
online function cannot be executed, for ex-
ample.

2. Switch on Bluetooth visibility on the ex-
ternal Bluetooth audio source ( e.g. mo-
bile device).
3. Open the
Media menu.
4. Touch Source and select BT Audio
.
5.

If necessary, start playback on the Blue-
tooth audio source manually.
When playback on the Bluetooth audio
source is stopped, the Infotainment system
remains in Bluetooth audio mode.
Controlling playback
The extent to which the Bluetooth audio
source can be controlled via the Infotainment
system depends on the connected Bluetooth
audio source.
With media players that support the AVRCP
Bluetooth profile, playback on the Bluetooth
audio source can be automatically started or
stopped when the unit is switched to Blue-
tooth audio mode or to a different audio
source. In addition, depending on the Blue-
tooth audio source, tracks can be displayed
and changed via the Infotainment system.
Due to the large number of possible
Bluetooth audio sources, it is not pos-
sible to guarantee fault-free operation of all
described functions. The Volkswagen website
contains a list of compatible mobile devices.
Always switch off the warning and
service tones on a connected Blue-
tooth audio source, e.g. key tones on a mo-
bile device, to prevent interference noise and
malfunctions.
With some units, the Bluetooth audio
connection will be disconnected auto-
matically if an external media player is con-
nected to the Infotainment system with
Bluetooth and the USB port simultane-
ously. Infotainment system
