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.

Before setting off and before switching on the ignition, always check the following to avoid damage
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.

Activating the exterior mirror functions
The following exterior mirror functions must be activated once in the Infotainment system in

same time when you adjust the left-hand exterior mirror.
Turn the rotary knob to position .
Adjust the left-hand exterior mirror. The right-hand exterior mirror will be adjusted at the same time
(synchronously).
Correct the settings for the right-hand exterior mirror if necessary: swivel the rotary knob to
position and adjust the right-hand exterior mirror.
Folding in the exterior mirrors while parking
When the vehicle is locked or unlocked from the outside, the exterior mirrors fold in or out
automatically. For this, the rotary knob must be in position , , or .
If the rotary knob for the electrically adjustable exterior mirrors is in position , the exterior
mirrors stay folded in.
Saving and recalling the front passenger exterior mirror settings for reversing

Ensure that there is no one in the path of the sun blind, especially if it is closed when the roll-back
function is not active.
The roll-back function does not prevent fingers or other body parts from being pressed against the
roof frame and being injured.

When the glass roof is open, the electric sun blind can be closed only up to the front edge of the
glass roof.

Heating, ventilating, cooling
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Front controls 
⇒ Air recirculation mode 
⇒ Seat heating 
⇒ Steering wheel heating 
⇒ Troubleshooting 
The following systems may be installed in the vehicle
Both the manual air conditioning system and Climatronic heat, cool and dehumidify the air. It works
most effectively when the windows and the glass roof are closed. If heat has built up in the vehicle
interior, ventilating the vehicle can speed up the cooling process.
Display of activated functions
Lit up LEDs on rotary knobs and buttons indicate that the function is switched on.

WARNING
Poor visibility through the windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which can cause
serious injuries.
Keep all windows free from ice, snow and condensation to maintain good visibility.
Adjust the heating, air conditioning system and rear window heating so that condensation does not
form on the windows.
Only set off once all windows are clear.
Use air recirculation mode for a short period only. If the cooling system is switched off, condensation
can form on the windows very quickly in air recirculation mode and reduce visibility considerably.
