NOTICE
Before setting off and bef ore switching on
the ignition, always check the following to
avoid damage to the windows, wiper blades
and wiper motor:
x The wiper lever is located in the basic po-
sition.
x Snow and ice have been removed from the
wiper blades and windows.
x Wiper blades that have become frozen on-
to the glass have been carefully loosened.
Volkswagen recommends using a de-icer
spray for this. NOTICE
Do not switch on the wipers when the win-
dow is dry. Using the wipers when the win-
dow is dry can damage the glass. When switched on, the wipers will
temporarily be switched to the ne

xt
setting down when the vehicle is stationary.
If the driver or front passenger door is
opened when the vehicle is stationary,
the windscreen wipers will move to their ini-
tial position and will be switched off. If the
door is closed within a few seconds or the
wiper lever is moved, the wipers will be
switched back on again.
If the vehicle is parked during cold
weather, the service position of the
windscreen wiper may be helpful in order to
be able to release the wiper blades better
from the windscreen

Sun visors should always be f olded away
and sun blinds should always be retrac-
ted if they are not being used. In certain circumstances, the lamp
abo

ve the sun visor will go out auto-
matically after a few minutes. This prevents
the 12-volt battery from discharging. Sun blind in the glass roof

or control-
ling the sun blind.
The electric sun blind functions when the ig-
nition is switched on and can be opened and
closed via the function button in the headlin-
er or the vehicle settings in the Infotainment
system.
Opening and closing the sun blind
Opening the sun blind:

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

ing effect can be increased by applying
more pressure to the brake pedal.
x You must driv
e particularly carefully
when driving with new brake pads in or-
der to reduce the risk of accidents, seri-
ous injuries and loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
x Never drive too close to other vehicles
when running in new brake pads, and
never create a driving situation that will
place a heavy load on the brakes. Regularly perform a visual check of the
thickness of the front brake pads
through the openings in the rims or from the
underside of the v

ehicle. If necessary, remove
the wheels to carry out a comprehensive
check. Volkswagen recommends using
a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose. When the front brake pads are
checked, the brake pads in the drum
brakes on the rear axle should also be
checked at the same time. This check is per-
f

ormed though an inspection hole on the rear
of the drum. A sealing plug must be removed
for this purpose. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this pur-
pose. Driving a loaded vehicle
