with a low drawbar load Trailer towing.
Only the driver seat is occupied and the luggage compartment is fully
loaded. Towing a trailer with maximum drawbar load Trailer towing.
Dynamic headlight range control
The headlight range cannot be adjusted manually if the vehicle has dynamic headlight range control.
The headlight range is automatically adapted to suit the vehicle load level as soon as the headlights
are switched on

WARNING
Heavy objects in the vehicle can cause the headlights to dazzle and distract other road users. This
could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
The light cone should always be adjusted to the load level of the vehicle to ensure that other road
users are not dazzled.

WARNING
Failure or a malfunction of the dynamic headlight range control can cause the headlights to dazzle or
distract other road users. This could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
The headlight range control should be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.

If the front brake pads are checked, the rear brake pads should be checked at the same time. A
visual check of the thickness of all brake pads should be carried out regularly by checking the brake
pads through the openings in the rims or from the underside of the vehicle. If necessary, remove the
wheels to carry out a comprehensive check. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen
dealership for this purpose.
Driving a loaded vehicle
For good vehicle handling when driving a loaded vehicle, please observe the following:
Stow all items of luggage securely Stowing luggage and loads
Accelerate particularly cautiously and carefully.
Avoid sudden braking and driving manoeuvres.
Brake earlier than in normal driving.
If applicable, observe the information concerning the roof carrier Roof carrier


WARNING
Moving loads can severely impair the vehicle's stability and driving safety which could cause
accidents and serious injuries.
Secure items properly so they cannot slide about.
Use suitable lashing or securing straps when securing heavy objects.
Securely engage the rear seat backrests.
Driving with an open boot lid
Driving with an open boot lid is particularly dangerous. All objects and the open boot lid must be
secured properly. Take the appropriate measures to reduce the amount of poisonous exhaust fumes
that could enter into the vehicle.

WARNING
Driving with an unlocked or open boot lid can cause serious injuries.
Always drive with the boot lid closed.
Always stow all items in the luggage compartment securely. Loose objects can fall out of the luggage
compartment and injure other road users.
Always drive especially carefully and think ahead.

To ensure your own safety and the safety of your passengers, observe the following points before
driving offroad:

Obtain sufficient information before driving into offroad terrain with the vehicle.

Do not plan day stages that are too long. Take increased fuel consumption for offroad driving into
account.

Fill up the tank. Fuel consumption is considerably higher offroad.

Check that your tyres are suitable for the offroad journey you have planned. Recommendation for
difficult offroad terrain: always have offroad tyres fitted to your vehicle.

Check the tyre pressure on all tyres and correct if necessary. This includes the temporary spare
wheel, if present.

Check engine oil level and refill engine oil as necessary. The engine will be supplied with engine oil
when it is driven on or across a slope only if the engine oil level is sufficient.

Completely refill the washer fluid reservoir with water and washer fluid.

Fit the towing eye at the front or rear. It is not always possible to fit the towing eye when the vehicle
is stuck.

Check the vehicle toolkit and add tools according to individual requirements Useful accessories for
offroad driving.

Stow luggage in the vehicle as evenly and as low as possible. Secure all loose items.
Before driving offroad, Volkswagen recommends attending an offroad driving course, particularly if
you have no or very little experience.

daptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Press the button.
The speed limiter is switched off.
Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Control is automatically interrupted.
Malfunction. Switch off the speed limiter and go to a qualified workshop.
For safety reasons, the speed limiter does not fully deactivate itself until you release the accelerator
once or switch the system off manually.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Special driving situations
Limits of ACC
Switching ACC on and off
Setting ACC
Troubleshooting
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a speed selected by the driver. If the vehicle
approaches a vehicle in front, the ACC automatically adapts the speed so that a distance you have
selected is maintained.
Speed range
ACC controls the vehicle in the speed range between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 160 km/h (100 mph)
or 210 km/h (130 mph). This speed range may differ in certain markets.
Driving with ACC
You can override the ACC at any time. Control will be interrupted when you brake. If you accelerate,
control will be interrupted for the duration of the acceleration process and will then continue again.
Control by ACC is less dynamic when towing a trailer
if the trailer's brake lights are faulty.
Does the vehicle have ACC?
The vehicle is equipped with ACC if you can make settings for ACC in the vehicle settings of the
Infotainment system Vehicle settings menu
Brake request

When switched on, the Blind Spot Monitor is active from a speed of approx. 15 km/h (9 mph).
In the following driving situations, the yellow indicator lamp will light up in the corresponding
exterior mirror: Fig. 124
If your vehicle is being overtaken.
When overtaking another vehicle with a speed difference of up to approximately 10 km/h (6 mph).
No display will be shown if the takeover manoeuvre is much faster.
If a vehicle is detected in the blind spot and the turn signal is additionally activated in the direction
of the detected vehicle
In vehicles with the lane keeping system, the yellow indicator lamp will flash even if you do not
activate the turn signal when leaving your lane, provided that the lane keeping system is switched on
(Blind Spot Monitor Plus). The driver is warned by a corrective steering intervention when changing
lanes during a possible critical situation (information level, warning level). This 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.
The quicker another vehicle approaches, the earlier there is a corresponding display in the exterior
mirror.
Automatic deactivation
The radar sensors for the Blind Spot Monitor will switch off automatically if, for example, the system
detects that a radar sensor is continuously 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 instrument cluster display.
If the Blind Spot Monitor has been automatically deactivated, the system cannot be activated until
the ignition has been switched off and back on again.
The Blind Spot Monitor is automatically deactivated and cannot be activated when the factory-fitted
towing bracket is electrically connected to a trailer or similar Trailer towing
electrically connected to the vehicle and the driver pulls away, a text message appears in the
instrument cluster display to inform the driver that the Blind Spot Monitor has been deactivated.
The Blind Spot Monitor will be automatically activated again when the trailer has been unhitched
from the vehicle. This applies if the function was previously activated. The Blind Spot Monitor must
be deactivated manually if you tow a trailer using a towing bracket that was not fitted at the factory.
Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Blind Spot Monitor is not working
The indicator lamp lights up yellow.
Go to a qualified workshop.

-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.

cluster display will go out.
Moving off on steep uphill gradients or with increased vehicle weight
You can prevent the electronic parking brake from switching off automatically by pulling the
button upwards and holding it while pulling away.
If higher engine power is required to move off, the electronic parking brake will be deactivated only
when you release the button.
This can make it easier to move off with a high trailer weight Trailer towing
