Driving tips
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Preparing for a journey and driving safely
⇒ Driving abroad
⇒ Driving through water on roads
Depending on where the vehicle is used, it may be advisable to have an engine and transmission
guard installed. An engine and transmission guard can reduce the risk of damage to the vehicle's
underbody and engine oil sump, for example when driving over kerbs, driveways or unsurfaced
roads. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

Before the journey

Points 1 to 3 must be fulfilled at the same time:
Manual gearboxAutomated manual gearbox
In order to start moving, remove your foot
from the brake pedal, then release the clutch
pedal (clutch engages) and press the
accelerator simultaneously. The brake will
gradually be released as the clutch is
engaged.
To start moving, remove your foot from the
brake pedal and press the accelerator
immediately. The brake will gradually be
released as the vehicle pulls away.
The Hill Hold Assist function will be deactivated immediately:
•As soon as one of the conditions indicated on ⇒ The Hill Hold Assist function is automatically
activated if the following conditions are met is not fulfilled.
•If the engine is not running smoothly or there is an engine fault.
•If the engine is switched off or has stalled.
•Vehicles with automated manual gearbox: if the selector lever in is the neutral position N.
ParkPilot
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Operating ParkPilot
⇒ Acoustic and optical ParkPilot signals at the rear of the vehicle
The ParkPilot assists the driver when manoeuvring and parking.
The ultrasound sensors in the rear bumper transmit and receive ultrasonic waves. The system uses
the time difference between the ultrasonic waves (i.e. between the transmission and reflection from
obstacles and the point of reception) to continuously calculate the distance between the bumper
and the obstacle.

•Radio ⇒BookletRadio,

You will need an external aerial to use a two-way radio in the vehicle.
Any retrofit installation of electrical or electronic equipment in the vehicle will affect its vehicle type
approval. Under certain circumstances, this can negate the type approval for the vehicle.
Volkswagen has approved the vehicle for use with two-way radios subject to the following
conditions:
•Correct installation of external aerial.
•A maximum transmitting power of 10 watts.
An external aerial is needed to give the equipment its optimal range.
Check first with a qualified workshop if you wish to use a two-way radio with a transmitting power of
over 10 watts. A qualified workshop is familiar with the technical options for retrofitting. Volkswagen
recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Please observe legislation and the instructions and information given in the operating manuals for
radio equipment.
Information stored in the control units
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Your vehicle is factory fitted with electronic control units which are responsible for engine and
gearbox management. The control units also monitor the function of the exhaust system and the
airbags.
These electronic control units continuously evaluate data relevant to the vehicle while the vehicle is
being driven. Only these data will be stored if there are any faults recorded or any deviations from
the specified values. This is generally displayed by the indicator lamps on the instrument cluster.
Special units are required to read and evaluate data stored in the control units.
These data are stored so that specialist workshops can diagnose and solve problems. The
following data may have been stored:
•Engine and gearbox-relevant data.
•Speed.
•Direction of travel.
•Braking power.
•Seat belt monitor.
The control units never record conversations that take place in the vehicle. It is neither possible nor
permitted to use the stored data to create movement profiles.
When the vehicle is being used, situations may arise in which the stored data (alone or in
conjunction with other information such as accident reports, vehicle damage, witness statements
etc.) can become assignable to a particular person, in which case it may be necessary to consult an
expert and use the expert's information.
In vehicles with an emergency call function via a mobile telephone or other units, the current
location can be transmitted. In the event of an accident in which the control units register that an
airbag has been triggered, the system can automatically send out a signal. This depends on your
service provider. Transmission is possible only in areas with a sufficiently strong mobile telephone
signal.
Additional functions that are contractually agreed with the customer, e.g. vehicle positioning in an
emergency, allow certain vehicle data to be transmitted from the vehicle.
If radio equipment is not secured or not properly secured in the vehicle, it could be flung
though the interior during a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an
accident. This can cause injuries.
•While the vehicle is in motion, always secure two-way radios properly outside the airbag
deployment zones or stow them away safely.
WARNING
If two-way radios that are not connected to an external aerial are used, electromagnetic
radiation in the vehicle could exceed limit values and thus be a health hazard for drivers and
other vehicle occupants. This also applies to external aerials that have not been correctly
installed.
•Two-way radios should only be used in the vehicle if an external aerial is properly
connected.
