Clutch is not transmitting the full engine torque.
If necessary, remove foot from the clutch pedal.
Clutch overheated
The indicator lamp lights up yellow.
An acoustic warning may also be given ⇒ .
The clutch can overheat, for example if the vehicle pulls off frequently, travels at a crawl for long
periods, or in stop and go traffic.
Overheating is indicated by the warning lamp and in some cases by additional warning lamps and a
text message in the instrument cluster display.
You can continue to drive.
Clutch faulty
The indicator lamp lights up yellow.
The clutch is faulty.
Drive on carefully!
Seek expert assistance. Failure to do so can cause considerable clutch damage.
DSG® dual clutch gearbox
Function of the DSG® dual clutch gearbox
Description
The vehicle is equipped with a DSG® dual clutch gearbox.
The DSG® dual clutch gearbox is a gearbox which uses dual-clutch technology to change gear
automatically. It uses a dual clutch and two gear train halves to enable very fast gear changes with
no loss of torque. The DSG® dual clutch gearbox thus combines the performance and economy of a
manual gearbox with the comfort and convenience of a conventional automatic gearbox.
Function
Engine power is transferred to the drive shaft via the gearbox. In order to change gears, the power
transmission between the engine and the gearbox has to be interrupted. This is what the clutch is
for.
With the DSG® dual clutch system with its two gear train halves, the engine power is always
connected to one gear train half when driving. Before a gear shift, the next-higher or lower gear is
already preselected in the load-free second gear train half. The clutch on the non-driven gear is then
closed, and the other is opened at the same time. This makes very fast gear changes possible.
Thanks to its design, the DSG® dual clutch gearbox is more efficient than an automatic gearbox.
Whereas in an automatic gearbox the torque converter is constantly in use, in the DSG® dual clutch

The steering assistance provided by the electromechanical steering system automatically adjusts to
the vehicle speed, steering wheel torque and steering wheel angle. The electromechanical steering
functions only when the engine is running.
You will need considerably more strength than normal to steer the vehicle if the power steering is
reduced or has failed completely.
Counter steering assistance
Counter steering assistance provides the driver with steering assistance in critical driving situations.
Additional steering forces assist the driver when counter steering ⇒ .
Progressive steering
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, progressive steering can adjust the steering response in a
driving situation. Progressive steering functions only when the engine is running.
In urban traffic, less steering input is required when parking, manoeuvring, or turning sharply.
When driving on country roads or on the motorway, the progressive steering provides a more
sporty, direct steering response, and a dynamic feel.

WARNING
If the power steering is not working, the steering wheel is difficult to turn, which makes it difficult to
steer the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, the power steering functions only when the engine is
running.
Never allow the vehicle to roll if the engine is switched off.
Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition if the vehicle is in motion. The steering column lock
may be activated and it will no longer be possible to steer the vehicle.

WARNING
In conjunction with the ESC, counter steering assistance provides the driver with assistance when
steering in critical driving situations. The driver must steer the vehicle at all times. Counter steering
assistance does not steer the vehicle.

NOTICE
When the vehicle is towed, the ignition must be switched on to prevent the steering wheel from
locking, and so that the turn signals, horn, wipers and window washer system can be used.
Troubleshooting
Steering requires increased force

must be replaced as soon as possible.

WARNING
If the wheels are incorrectly fastened or if wheel bolts are missing, the wheels could come loose,
leading to a loss of control over the vehicle, causing accidents and serious injuries.

Handling wheels and tyres

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 

NOTICE
Avoid heavy impacts and drive round obstacles whenever possible. Tyres can be deformed by
potholes and kerb edges especially. This can cause damage to the tyres and wheel rims.

Old tyres should be disposed of as required by legislation.

Volkswagen-approved tyres are guaranteed to have the dimensions that are suitable for the vehicle.
In the case of other tyres, the tyre seller must provide a certificate from the tyre manufacturer
stating that the tyre is also suitable for the vehicle. This certificate must be stored in a safe place in
the vehicle.
Wheel rims and wheel bolts
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Wheel rims, tyres and wheel bolts are matched to the vehicle type. If different wheel rims are fitted,
the correct wheel bolts with the correct length and correctly shaped bolt heads must be used.
For technical reasons, it is not generally possible to use the wheel rims from other vehicles. This can
also apply to wheel rims of the same vehicle type.
The tightening torque of the wheel bolts must be checked regularly with a properly functioning
torque wrench.
Wheel bolts
The correct wheel bolts must be used for each vehicle type; these bolts must always be tightened
with the correct tightening torque ⇒ Wheel bolts .
Wheel rims with bolted rim rings or trim elements
Rims with bolted-on rings or trim elements consist of several components. These components are
joined together using special bolts. Damaged wheel rims must be replaced and must always be
repaired only by a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for
this purpose ⇒ .
Wheel rim identification
In some countries, new wheel rims must contain information on certain properties. The following
information may appear on the wheel rim:



ed (month/year)

On wheels with a wheel cover, the anti-theft wheel bolt must be screwed into position
⇒ Fig. 204②  or ③ according to the position of the tyre valve ①. The wheel cover can otherwise
not be fitted.
Tightening torque of wheel bolts
Specified tightening torque for wheel bolts for steel or alloy wheels:
Nm
If the wheel bolts are corroded and difficult to turn, they must be replaced before the tightening
torque is checked and the wheel hub threads cleaned.
Never grease or oil the wheel bolts or the threads of the wheel hub.
The tightening torque should be checked with a properly functioning torque wrench immediately
after changing a wheel.

WARNING
Incorrectly tightened wheel bolts can loosen while the vehicle is in motion and cause accidents,
serious injury, and loss of control of the vehicle.
