Notes on driving
Pedals

To ensure your own safety and the safety of your passengers, observe the following points before
driving offroad:

Obtain sufficient information before driving into offroad terrain with the vehicle.

Do not plan day stages that are too long. Take increased fuel consumption for offroad driving into
account.

Fill up the tank. Fuel consumption is considerably higher offroad.

Check that your tyres are suitable for the offroad journey you have planned. Recommendation for
difficult offroad terrain: always have offroad tyres fitted to your vehicle.

Check the tyre pressure on all tyres and correct if necessary. This includes the temporary spare
wheel, if present.

Check engine oil level and refill engine oil as necessary. The engine will be supplied with engine oil
when it is driven on or across a slope only if the engine oil level is sufficient.

Completely refill the washer fluid reservoir with water and washer fluid.

Fit the towing eye at the front or rear. It is not always possible to fit the towing eye when the vehicle
is stuck.

Check the vehicle toolkit and add tools according to individual requirements Useful accessories for
offroad driving.

Stow luggage in the vehicle as evenly and as low as possible. Secure all loose items.
Before driving offroad, Volkswagen recommends attending an offroad driving course, particularly if
you have no or very little experience.

ot on the clutch when driving offroad. When travelling over
uneven ground, you could press the clutch by mistake and lose control of the vehicle. This also
prevents power being transferred between the engine and the gearbox. In addition, driving with the
clutch partially engaged causes premature wear to the clutch lining.
Useful accessories for offroad driving
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The checklist contains just a few items of equipment that can be very useful for offroad driving. If
you have an instruction manual or fitting instructions for these accessories, you should always take
them with you and observe them as necessary when driving offroad.
Checklist
Useful items when driving offroad:

Water, compass, maps and torch with spare batteries.

Winch, tow bar or rope with sufficient strength.

Mobile telephone, shovel, blankets and rubber boots.

Electrical air compressor for connection to the 12-volt sockets in the vehicle to inflate the tyres.

A wooden board approx. 4 cm thick and approx. 1 metre long or an aluminium frame of similar size:
this can be used to free a vehicle stuck in the mud and provide a platform for a vehicle jack.

Snow chains, additional spare wheels, a breakdown set, jack and box spanner.
Changing gear correctly
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The correct choice of gear depends on the offroad terrain.
Before attempting to drive through difficult terrain it can be helpful to stop and consider which gear
you should select. After several trips offroad, you will learn which gear to select in conjunction with
the step-down ratio and differential locks for different types of terrain.
General rules

parts of the seat.
Before closing stowage areas or compartments always ensure that there is no lighter in the way.
Never stow lighters in stowage areas or compartments or on other surfaces in the vehicle. Cigarette
lighters may self-ignite as a result of high surface temperatures, particularly in summer.

NOTICE
The heating elements in the rear window can be destroyed by objects rubbing against them.
Do not stow any temperature-sensitive objects, food or medicines inside the vehicle. Hot and cold
temperatures could damage them or render them unusable.
Objects stored in the vehicle that are made from transparent materials, such as glasses, magnifying
glasses or transparent suction cups on the windows, can concentrate the sun's rays and thus cause
damage to the vehicle.

Always ensure that the ventilation openings between the rear window and the stowage area are
uncovered to allow stale air to escape from the vehicle.
