2022 VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 warning

WARNING
Careless or unsupervised use of the electric
front seats can result in se vere injuries.
x The electrical front seat adjustment also
works when the ignition is switched off.
Never leave children or people requiring
assistance alone in the vehicle.
x In the event of an emergency, stop elec-
trical adjustment by pressing another
switch. NOTICE
To avoid damaging the electrical components
in the front seats, do not kneel on the seats
or apply sharp pressure at a single point on
the seat cushion and backrest. It may not be possible to adjust the
seat electrically if the charge le

vel of
the 12-volt vehicle battery is too low.
Activating the electric drive will inter-
rupt the seat adjustment procedure.Rear seats
Introduction to the topic
The f
ollowing section describes the options
for adjusting the rear seats. Always ensure
that your sitting position is correct

WARNING
The side lights or daytime running lights
are not bright enough to illuminate the
road ahead and to ensure that other road
users are able to see you.
x Always switch the dipped beam head-
lights on if it is dark, raining or visibility
is poor.
x The tail lights will not be switched on
with the daytime running lights. If the
tail lights are not switched on, the v
ehi-
cle may not be visible to other road
users if it is dark, raining, or if visibility is
poor. switches the dipped beam headlights on
and off only when there is a change in the
le

vel of brightness.
x Switch the dipped beam on manually if
required by the weather conditions, e.g.
in the event of fog. When reverse gear is engaged, the
cornering light on both sides of the v

e-
hicle switches on to provide better illumina-
tion of the surrounding area when manoeu-
vring. Switching the rear fog light
on and off
The rear f

og light can only be switched on
when the ignition is switched on

Automatic headlights
is switched on
and at speeds abo
ve approximately 10 km/h
(6 mph).
Acoustic warnings if lights are not switched
off
When the ignition has been switched off and
the driver door is opened, acoustic warnings
will sound under the following conditions:

WARNING
Closing the sun blind without the roll-back
function can cause serious injuries.
x Always close the sun blind carefully.
x Ensure that nobody obstructs the path
of the sun blind, especially if the roll-
back function is not activ
e when it is
closed.
x The roll-back function does not prevent
fingers or other body parts from being
pressed against the roof frame and sus-
taining injury. Introduction to the topic
The Climatronic is an automatic air condi-
tioning system that heats, cools and dehu-
midifies the air. Automatic mode enables the
Climatronic to control the air temperature, air
distribution and air v

olume automatically.
The air conditioning system will work most
effectively if the vehicle interior is kept
closed. Opening the windows and glass roof
to provide fresh air may accelerate cooling
down the vehicle if high temperatures have
built up in the vehicle interior.
Display of active functions
Illuminated symbols on the sensor buttons
indicate that the function is switched on.
Colour-coded function buttons display an ac-
tivated function in the climate settings on
the Infotainment system.
Operating the air conditioning system with
voice commands
Depending on the vehicle equipment, some
functions of the air conditioning system can
be operated with the voice control function

WARNING
Poor visibility through the door windows,
windscreen and rear window increases the
risk of collisions and accidents which can
cause serious injuries.
x Keep all door windows, the windscreen
and the rear window free from ice, snow
and condensation to maintain perf
ect
visibility.
x Adjust the heating, air conditioning and
rear window heating to prevent conden-
sation from forming on the windows.
x Only set off once all windows are clear.
x Use air recirculation mode for a short
period only. Condensation could other-
wise form very quickly on the windows,
greatly reducing visibility.
x Switch off the air recirculation mode
when it is no longer required. NOTICE
Food, medicine and other items that are sen-
sitiv
e to heat or cold could be either dam-
aged or rendered useless by the air flowing
out of the vents.
x Never leave food, medicines or other tem-
perature-sensitive objects in front of the
vents. NOTICE
If the air conditioning system is not working,
switch the air conditioning system off imme-
diately and ha

ve it checked by a qualified
workshop. This can help to prevent secondary
damage. Overview of functions
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 120.
Some functions of the air conditioning sys-
tem and menus in the Inf

otainment system as well as an air conditioning block for the
rear seats depend on the equipment le

vel.
In the Infotainment system Open the air conditioning settings in
the Infotainment system.
In the Infotainment system: upper screen
edge
Switch the air conditioning system on
and off.
In the Infotainment system: lower screen
edge Select temperature. Depending on the
equipment level, you can set the tem-
perature directly in the Infotainment
system or use the touch sliders be-
neath the Infotainment system. The
selected temperatures are displayed
at the bottom of the screen in the In-
fotainment system.
The temperatures set for the rear row
of seats are shown on the displays for
the air conditioning block for the rear
seats. Adopt temperature settings of driver
side f
or all seats. Switch the seat heating on and off

sistance when steering in some critical
driving situations. The driv
er must steer the
vehicle at all times. Counter steering assis-
tance does not steer the vehicle. Troubleshooting
Steering fault
The warning lamp lights up or flashes red.
There is a fault in the electromechanical
steering or electronic steering column lock.

Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)
Introduction to the topic
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) main-
tains a constant speed that you ha
ve set.
If the vehicle approaches a vehicle in
front, the ACC automatically adapts the
speed so that a distance you have selec-
ted is maintained.
Does the vehicle have ACC?
The vehicle is equipped with ACC if you can
adjust settings for ACC in the Assist systems
menu in the Infotainment system.
Speed range
You can set the speed between 20 km/h
(15 mph) and the maximum speed.
Driving with ACC
You can override the active ACC system at
any time. Cruise control will be stopped if you
brake. If you accelerate, cruise control will be
interrupted while you are accelerating and
then resumed.
The intervention by the ACC system is less
dynamic when towing a trailer.
Driver intervention prompt
If automatic deceleration by the ACC
system is not sufficient or the system
limits have been reached, the ACC
system will request you to also brake
by a corresponding message on the
instrument cluster. In addition, the
red warning lamp lights up and an
acoustic warning is given. Take over
control of the vehicle and be prepared
to brake.
Radar sensor
ACC detects driving situations using a radar
sensor at the front of the vehicle. The range of the radar sensor is up to approximately
160 m (

around 520 ft). Special driving situations
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 151.
Predictiv

e cruise control system
If the vehicle is equipped with the Dynamic
Road Sign Display function and an Infotain-
ment system with navigation, ACC can pre-
dictively adapt the vehicle speed to detected
speed limits and the course of the road ahead

Advance warning
The system detects a possible colli-
sion and prepares the vehicle for pos-
sible emergency braking.
An acoustic warning sounds and the red
warning lamp lights up. Brake or take avoid-
ing action.
Urgent warning
If the driver does not react to the advance
warning, the system may initiate a short
braking jolt in order to draw attention to the
increasing collision risk. Brake or take avoid-
ing action.
Automatic braking
If the driver also does not react to the urgent
warning, the vehicle can be braked automati- cally with braking force that increases in sev-
eral stages. The reduced speed means that it
is possible to minimise the consequences of
an accident.
Braking interv
ention
If the system detects that the driver is brak-
ing insufficiently when there is a risk of colli-
sion, the system can increase the braking
force and help prevent a collision. The brak-
ing intervention takes place only for as long
as the brake pedal is pressed hard.
Distance warning
The system detects when safety
is endangered by driving too
close to the vehicle in front. The indi-
cator lamp lights up. Increase the dis-
tance.
Speed range: around 65 km/h (around
40 mph) to around 250 km/h (around
155 mph). Area monitoring system 161
