x
Do not place any damp or wet objects or
items of clothing on the seat.
x Do not spill any liquids on the seat. NOTICE
x To a void damaging the heating elements,
do not kneel on the seats and do not apply
sharp pressure at a single point to the seat
cushion and backrest.
x Liquids, sharp objects and insulating mate-
rials, such as a protective cover or child
seat, may damage the seat heating.
x If an odour develops, immediately switch
off the seat heating and have it checked
by a qualified workshop.
x If the original seat covers are replaced
with another material, the seat heating
can overheat or the seat heating function
may be restricted. To save energy, switch off the seat
heating as soon as possible. Steering wheel heating
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 120.
The steering wheel heating can function only
when the v

ehicle

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

and serious injuries.
x
Use fast acceleration only if visibility,
weather, road and traffic conditions per-
mit, and other road users are not put at
risk due to the deceleration beha
viour of
the vehicle and driving style.
x Always adjust your driving style in ac-
cordance with the flow of traffic.
x When the TCS is switched off, the drive
wheels may spin, especially if the road
surface is wet, slippery or dirty. This may
result in you no longer being able to
steer or control the vehicle. NOTICE
x If you stop the v
ehicle on a gradient, do
not attempt to stop it from rolling back by
depressing the accelerator when a gear
has been selected. Depress the brake ped-
al to avoid putting an unnecessary load on
the electric drive.

too high for the prevailing road, traffic
or weather conditions. Operating the Cruise Control
