F

unction conditions
The driving behaviour can be evaluated only
when the speed is above 60 km/h (37 mph)
up to approximately 200 km/h (125 mph).

belt tensioner works together with the airbag
system. If the v
ehicle rolls over, the belt ten-
sioner will not be activated if the curtain air-
bags are not triggered.
A fine dust may be produced when the air-
bags are triggered. This is quite normal and
does not mean that there is a fire in the vehi-
cle.
Reversible belt tensioning (proactive occu-
pant protection system)
Reversible belt tensioning may trigger in cer-
tain driving situations

Speed range
The basic function of the proactiv
e occupant
protection system is available when driving
forwards at speeds from approx. 30 km/h
(19 mph).
Displays
In the event of intervention by the
proactive occupant protection sys-
tem, the red warning lamp lights up
on the instrument cluster display. Functions of the proactive oc-
cupant protection system
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 45.
Basic functions
The f

ollowing functions may be triggered in-
dividually or together in critical driving situa-
tions, e.g. in the event of emergency braking,
understeer and oversteer or minor collisions:

Setting in driving profile selection
In v
ehicles with driving profile selection, the
proactive occupant protection system is
adapted to the special vehicle setup of the
respective driving profile. Limits of the proactive occu-
pant protection system
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 45.
The a

vailability of the proactive occupant
protection system depends on country-spe-
cific legal regulations and the vehicle equip-
ment.
The proactive occupant protection system
will not be available, or will only be available
to a limited extent, in the following situa-
tions:

zone of the airbag, or the objects will be
flung against the body.
x Ne
ver hold any objects in your hand or
on your lap while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
x Never transport any objects on the front
passenger seat. The objects could enter
the deployment zone of the airbag dur-
ing sudden braking or driving manoeu-
vres and then be flung dangerously
through the vehicle interior if the airbag
is activated.
x There must be no other persons, animals
or objects between the vehicle occu-
pants sitting on the front seats and rear
outer seats and the deployment zones of
the airbags. Ensure that children and
adults keep to this rule. breathing difficulties, particularly for
people suff
ering from asthma or people
who have (had) other respiratory prob-
lems. To help reduce breathing difficul-
ties, get out of the vehicle or open the
windows or doors for more fresh air.
x If you come into contact with the dust,
you should wash your hands and face
with a mild soap and water before eat-
ing.
x Do not let the dust get into your eyes or
into open wounds.
x If dust has entered your eyes, rinse them
with water. Type of front passenger front

V

olkswagen offers two different front pas-
senger front airbag systems.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, an air-
bag system or an airbag system with front
passenger front airbag deactivation may be
installed.
Airbag system
The front passenger front airbag can be deac-
tivated only by a qualified workshop.
Characteristics of the airbag system:

cles driving in front are detected. Main-beam
control normally also recognises illuminated
areas such as towns and deactiv
ates main
beam while driving through them.
Within the limits of the system, main-beam
control automatically switches the main
beam on or off depending on the environ-
mental and traffic conditions and on the driv-
ing speed

electrical system and to the high-voltage
battery.
Driving with an open boot lid
Driving with an open boot lid is particularly
dangerous. All objects and the open boot lid
must be secured properly and suitable meas-
ures taken.
Driving with an open boot lid increases the
air resistance of the v
ehicle and thus also the
energy consumption of the electric drive.
This considerably reduces the possible range
of the vehicle. Volkswagen does not recom-
mend driving with the boot lid open due to
the resulting reduction in range. NOTICE
The vehicle height, and possibly the length,
are diff
erent when the boot lid is open. Driving through water on
roads
Please f

ollow these rules to help prevent
damage to your vehicle when driving through
water, for example if the road is flooded:

Position engaged and ECO assistance deac-
tiv
ated: no brake energy recuperation.
Position engaged and ECO assistance acti-
v

ated: automatic brake energy recuperation.
The energy recovery level is selected auto-
matically depending on the navigation data
and traffic situation.
Position engaged: high brake energy recu-
peration
The v

ehicle also performs recuperation when
the brake pedal is pressed.
Eco assistance
The ECO assistance function helps the driver
to use the engine braking effect of the vehi-
cle efficiently. It selects the energy recovery
level depending on the navigation data and
traffic situation.
The ECO assistance function can be switched
on and off in the vehicle settings in the Info-
tainment system.
Driving down hills
When driving down hills, you should drive in
position B if possible.
Never allow the vehicle to roll down moun-
tains or hills in the neutral position N. Troubleshooting
Deactivation of the drive is imminent
The charge level of the high-voltage battery
is too low.
The indicator lamp lights up during v

ehicle
operation.
The indicator lamp lights up red.
