x
Do not place any damp or wet objects or
items of clothing on the seat.
x Do not spill any liquids on the seat. NOTICE
x To a void damaging the heating elements,
do not kneel on the seats and do not apply
sharp pressure at a single point to the seat
cushion and backrest.
x Liquids, sharp objects and insulating mate-
rials, such as a protective cover or child
seat, may damage the seat heating.
x If an odour develops, immediately switch
off the seat heating and have it checked
by a qualified workshop.
x If the original seat covers are replaced
with another material, the seat heating
can overheat or the seat heating function
may be restricted. To save energy, switch off the seat
heating as soon as possible. Steering wheel heating
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 120.
The steering wheel heating can function only
when the v

ehicle

ing effect can be increased by applying
more pressure to the brake pedal.
x You must driv
e particularly carefully
when driving with new brake pads in or-
der to reduce the risk of accidents, seri-
ous injuries and loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
x Never drive too close to other vehicles
when running in new brake pads, and
never create a driving situation that will
place a heavy load on the brakes. WARNING
Overheated brakes reduce the braking ef-
f
ect and considerably increase the braking
distance.
x When driving downhill, the brakes are
placed under particular strain and be-
come hot very quickly.
x Before driving down a long, steep gradi-
ent, reduce your speed and select
a higher recuperation level. This will
make use of the electric drive braking
effect and relieve the load on the brakes.
x Non-standard or damaged front spoilers
could restrict the airflow to the brakes
and cause them to overheat. WARNING
Wet brakes or brakes coated with ice or
road salt react more slowly and require lon-
ger braking distances.
x Carefully apply the brakes to test them.
x Always dry brakes and clean off any
coating of ice and salt with a f

ew cau-
tious applications of the brakes when
visibility, weather, road and traffic con-
ditions permit. Regularly perform a visual check of the
thickness of the front brake pads
through the openings in the rims or from the
underside of the v

ehicle. If necessary, remove
the wheels to carry out a comprehensive
check. Volkswagen recommends using
a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose. When the front brake pads are
checked, the brake pads in the drum
brakes on the rear axle should also be
checked at the same time. This check is per-
f

ormed though an inspection hole on the rear
of the drum. A sealing plug must be removed
for this purpose. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this pur-
pose. Driving a loaded vehicle
F
or good vehicle handling when driving a loa-
ded vehicle, please observe the following:

x
Adapt your speed and distance from the
v ehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
x Always switch CCS off after use to avoid
unintentional speed control.
x It is dangerous to use a set speed that is
too high for the prevailing road, traffic
or weather conditions. Operating the Cruise Control
System (

CCS) Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 145. Fig. 101

Ov
ertaking
If you indicate left (left-hand traffic: indicate
right) to overtake, ACC will accelerate the ve-
hicle and reduce the distance from the vehi-
cle in front. Your set speed will not be excee-
ded.
If ACC does not detect any vehicle in front af-
ter you have changed lane, ACC will acceler-
ate the vehicle up to the set speed.
Overtaking assistance is not available in all
countries.
Stop-and-go traffic
ACC can brake the vehicle to a standstill and
keep it stationary. ACC remains active and
the instrument cluster display shows
ACC ready
to start for a few seconds.
On vehicles with Travel Assist, you can extend
this time by continuing to hold the steering
wheel.
As long as ACC remains active, the vehicle
will move off again automatically as soon as
the vehicle in front moves off (depending on
the vehicle equipment level and not available
in all countries).
