WARNING
Incorrect and unsupervised unlocking, opening or closing of the boot lid can cause accidents and
serious injuries.
The boot lid should be opened or closed only when you are sure that nobody is in its path.

When transporting children on the rear bench seat, the rear electric windows should always be
deactivated using the safety button so that they cannot be opened or closed.

NOTICE
If windows are open when it starts to rain, water can soak the interior equipment of the vehicle and
cause damage to the vehicle.

One-touch opening and closing and the roll-back function will not work if there is a malfunction in
the electric windows. Go to a qualified workshop.

Convenience opening and closing only works when one-touch opening and closing is activated for all
electric windows.

automatically when the user account is changed Personalisation
Electric window roll-back function
The roll-back function for the electric windows can reduce the risk of injuries when the windows are
closing.
If the window is not able to close because it is stiff or because of an obstruction, the window will
immediately open again
Check to see why the window has not closed.
Try to close the window again.
If the window closing process is interrupted again, the roll-back function will be disabled for a few
seconds.
If the window still cannot close, it will come to a stop at this point. To close the window without the
roll-back function, press the button again within a few seconds

WARNING
Closing the electric windows without the roll-back function can lead to serious injuries.
Always close the window carefully.

If you have to drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, the
asymmetric dipped beam headlights may dazzle oncoming traffic. The headlights must therefore be
switched over when you travel to these countries.
With some equipment levels, the headlight alignment can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays
In vehicles in which the headlights cannot be switched over in the menu, masking stickers should be
applied to certain parts of the headlight lenses, or the headlights should be adjusted by a qualified
workshop. A qualified workshop can provide you with further information. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

Travel mode may be used only for a short period. Please contact a qualified workshop for a
permanent conversion. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Interior lighting
Instrument and switch lighting
The brightness of the instrument and switch lighting can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays
The brightness setting is automatically adjusted to the changing light conditions in the vehicle.
When the light switch is in position , a sensor will switch the dipped beam and the lighting in
the instruments and switches on and off automatically depending on the ambient brightness level.

When the light is switched off and the ignition switched on, the instrument and switch lighting
(needles and scales) is switched on. As the ambient light becomes lower, the illumination of the
scales is automatically reduced and may be switched off entirely. This function is intended to remind
the driver to switch on the dipped beam in good time, i.e. when driving through tunnels.
