Steering
Information on steering
The steering should be locked every time you leave the vehicle to make it more difficult for the
vehicle to be stolen.
Steering
The power steering is not hydraulic. It is an electromechanical system. The advantage of this
steering system is that no hydraulic hoses, hydraulic oil, pumps, filter or other parts are required.
The electromechanical system reduces fuel consumption. A hydraulic system requires constant oil
pressure in the system, whereas an electromechanical steering system only needs an energy
supply while steering.
In vehicles with driving profile selection, the selected driving profile can affect the behaviour of the
power steering ⇒ Driving profile selection and 4MOTION Active Control.
Electronic steering column lock in vehicles with starter button
The steering column will be locked if the driver door is opened and the ignition is switched off. For
this, the vehicle should be stationary and, if necessary, the gear selector lever should be in position
P.
If the ignition is not switched off until after the driver door is opened, the electronic steering column
will only be locked when the vehicle is locked using the vehicle key or the sensor in the door
handle.
Mechanical steering column lock (steering lockyfLQYHKLFOHVZLWKDQ
ignition lock
The steering column is locked if the vehicle key is removed from the ignition lock when the vehicle
is stationary. Turn the steering wheel slightly until the steering lock clicks into place.
Insert the vehicle key into the ignition lock to unlock the steering lock. Turn the steering wheel
slightly to take the load off the steering lock mechanism. Hold the steering wheel in this position and
turn the ignition on.
Electromechanical steering
The power steering provided by the electromechanical steering system automatically adjusts to the
vehicle speed, steering wheel torque and steering wheel angle. The electromechanical steering
only functions when the engine is running.
You will need considerably more strength than normal to steer the vehicle if the power steering is
reduced or has failed completely.
Counter steering assistance
Counter steering assistance provides the driver with power steering in critical driving situations.
Additional steering power helps the driver when counter steering ⇒.
The intelligent Hill Descent Control technology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Never allow the extra convenience afforded
by pull-away assist systems to tempt you into taking any risks when driving.
•Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury.
•The Hill Descent Control cannot replace the full concentration of the driver.
•Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
•A Hill Descent Control System may not be able to always hold the vehicle on uphill
gradients or brake it sufficiently on all slopes going downhill (e.g. if the ground is
slippery or icyyf.
WARNING
Always be prepared to brake the vehicle. Accidents and injuries could occur if this is not
ensured.
•The Hill Descent Control system is only a support function and may not be able to
brake the vehicle sufficiently in all situations when driving downhill.
•The vehicle may accelerate despite the Hill Descent Control system.
WARNING

Volkswagen recommends that drivers practise using the parking systems in a traffic-calmed
area or car park to allow them to familiarise themselves with the systems and their functions.
Park Distance Control
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Switching on and off
⇒ Display representation
⇒ Settings
⇒ Troubleshooting
The Park Distance Control system
assists the driver when manoeuvring
and parking.
Park Distance Control detects the distance from an obstacle by means of sensors in the front and
rear bumpers ⇒ Vehicle overviews. If there is an obstacle in the detection range of the sensors, the
system indicates this on the Infotainment system and by means of signal tones.
System limits
The sensors may not always be able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin rails, fences,
posts, trees, very low or high obstacles and open or opening boot lids.
In some cases, dirt and ice on the sensors could be registered as an obstacle.
Switching on and off

Introduction
Switching on Park Distance Control
•Select reverse gear.
•OR: press the button or .
The intelligent technology used in the parking systems cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra
convenience afforded by the parking systems tempt you into taking any risks when
driving. The parking systems cannot replace the full concentration of the driver.
•Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
•Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury.
•Keep looking in the direction in which you are parking and at the relevant area
surrounding the vehicle.
•Do not allow the displays in the instrument cluster and the images shown in the
Infotainment system to distract you from the traffic.
•Always monitor the area around the vehicle as the parking systems will not always
detect infants, animals and objects.
•The parking systems have blind spots in which obstacles and people are not
registered.
•External sources of sound and certain surfaces on objects and clothing may influence
the sensors' signals. In certain circumstances, the systems will be unable to detect or
properly detect people and objects.
•Certain objects, for example narrow posts or railings, may be difficult or impossible to
see on the screen because of its low resolution or poor light conditions.
•When approaching objects at high speeds, the parking systems' signals and displays
may not respond quickly enough to emit a warning.

Changing bulbs
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Checklist 
⇒ Changing bulbs in the headlights (halogen bulbsyf
⇒ Changing bulbs in the front bumper
⇒ Changing bulbs in the front bumper (R-Lineyf
⇒ Changing the bulbs in the tail light cluster in the body
⇒ Troubleshooting
Changing the vehicle bulbs requires considerable technical skill. Volkswagen therefore
recommends having bulbs replaced by a qualified workshop if you are uncertain. The work must
always be performed by an expert if other vehicle parts around the affected bulbs need to be
removed. Volkswagen recommends having bulbs replaced by a Volkswagen dealership.
You should keep a box with spare light bulbs for the lights that ensure the vehicle is roadworthy in
the vehicle at all times. Spare bulbs are available from Volkswagen dealerships. In some countries
it is a legal requirement to have these spare bulbs in the vehicle.
It may be illegal to drive with a defective bulb in the exterior lighting.
Worn or dirty windscreen wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents
and severe injuries.
•Always change wiper blades if they are damaged or worn and no longer clean the
window properly.
WARNING
Damaged or dirty windscreen wipers can scratch the windscreen.
•Do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents, hard sponges and other sharp
objects, as they can damage the graphite coating of the wiper blades during cleaning.
•Do not use fuel, nail varnish remover, paint thinner or similar products to clean the
windows.
NOTICE

Park the vehicle on a firm and level surface at a safe distance from the flow of traffic.
Switch on the electronic parking brake Electronic parking brake.
Turn the light switch to position 0 Lights.
Move the turn signal lever to neutral position Lights.
Move the automatic gearbox selector lever to position P DSG® dual clutch gearbox.
Switch off the ignition and remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock Starting and
stopping the engine.
Manual gearbox: select a gear Manual gearbox: selecting a gear.
Switch off the orientation lighting Lights.
Leave the defective bulbs to cool down.
You can change the following bulbs yourself:
•Bulbs in the halogen headlight: dipped beam, main beam, daytime running light, side light, turn
signal.
•Bulbs in front bumper: fog lights, static cornering light.
•Bulbs in the tail light clusters: rear turn signal, if it does not feature LED technology (depending
on vehicle equipment levelyf.
All other bulbs and lamps in the vehicle should always be changed by an expert.
Additional bulb specifications
Some bulbs in headlights or in tail light clusters might have factory specifications that are different
to standard bulbs. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.
LED bulbs on the vehicle
•Brake light, rear fog light, tail light, turn signal and reversing light in the tail light clusters.
•Dipped beam, main beam, daytime running lights, static cornering light, side lights and turn
signal.
•Number plate light.
Owners cannot replace the LEDs themselves. If some LEDs fail, this may be an indication that
more elements are on the point of failure. If this happens, have the bulbs checked and replaced if
necessary at a qualified workshop.
Checklist Information on changing bulbs
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Checklist
Always carry out the following actions for changing a bulb in the given order ⇒:
Accidents can occur if roads are not sufficiently illuminated and other road users have
difficulty seeing the vehicle, or cannot see it at all.
WARNING
Changing the bulb incorrectly can cause accidents and serious injuries.
•When working in the engine compartment, always read and observe the safety
warnings ⇒ In the engine compartment. The engine compartment of any motor vehicle
is a dangerous area. Serious injuries can be sustained here.
•H7/H15 bulbs are pressurised and could explode when they are being changed.
•Only change the defective bulb once it has had time to cool down completely.
•Never change a bulb unless you are familiar with the procedure. If you are uncertain of
what to do, the work should be carried out by a qualified workshop.
•Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with unprotected fingers. When the light is
switched on, heat will cause fingerprints to evaporate on the bulb, which in turn will
cause the reflector to dim.
•There are sharp-edged parts in the headlight housing in the engine compartment and
on the tail light cluster housing. Protect your hands when changing bulbs.
WARNING
Damage to the electrical system can be caused by water entering the system if the rubber
covers or plastic caps on the headlight housing are not properly mounted after a bulb has
been changed.
NOTICE

Check to see if a fuse has blown Changing fuses.
Follow the instructions to change the affected bulb . Always use identical bulbs with the
same designation. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on
the base.
Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with unprotected fingers. The heat of the bulb would
cause the fingerprint to evaporate and condense on the reflector. This will impair the
brightness of the headlight.
After changing the bulb, check to ensure that the bulb is working properly. If the bulb is not
working properly, the bulb may not have been inserted properly or may have failed again,
or the connector may have been inserted incorrectly.
Any time you change a bulb in the front of the vehicle, the headlight settings should be
checked by a qualified workshop.
