Braking assistance systems
Information about braking assistance systems
Braking assistance systems can assist the driver in critical driving and braking situations. The driver is always responsible for safe driving
1. If a braking assistance system is regulating, continue braking with the necessary force. If necessary, steer the vehicle.
WARNING
The intelligent technology in the braking assistance systems cannot overcome the natural laws of physics and it can only operate within the limits of the system.
Driving fast on icy, slippery, or wet roads can lead to loss of vehicle control and serious injuries to the driver and passengers.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions. Do not take any risks.
Braking assistance systems cannot prevent a collision, for example if you are driving too close to other vehicles.
Always use suitable tires. Driving stability depends on the tires' ability to grip the road.
Always keep the footwell beneath the pedals clear so that the brake pedal is unobstructed and can move freely.
ESC, ABS and ASR only function correctly when all four wheels have the intended tires
If the ABS malfunctions, the ESC, ASR and EDS also fail.
When the ignition is switched on, the condition of the braking functions is automatically checked. The indicator lights will come on briefly and then turn off. If an
indicator light remains on permanently, there is a malfunction. Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility immediately.
Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
WARNING
The effectiveness of the ESC can be reduced considerably if other components and systems that affect driving dynamics are not maintained correctly or are
malfunctioning. This applies in particular to changes made to the suspension and any non-approved wheel and tire combinations.
Ensure that conversion and modifications to the vehicle are only performed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Always use suitable tires. Driving stability depends on the tires' ability to grip the road.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC is regulating the vehicle to reduce the risk of skidding and improve driving stability . The indicator light flashes yellow.
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
ASR is regulating the vehicle to reduce the risk of the wheels spinning. The indicator light flashes yellow.
ASR reduces drive power at wheels that are spinning and adapts the drive power to the road conditions. ASR makes it easier to start, accelerate, and drive up hills
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking during braking so that the vehicle can be steered
Brake Assist System (BAS)
BAS can help to reduce the vehicle braking distance. BAS increases braking power when the driver presses the brake pedal quickly in emergency situations
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL and XDL)
EDS automatically applies the brakes to a wheel that starts spinning and transfers the drive power to the other driving wheels.
XDS is an extension of the electronic differential lock, and improves traction with braking support to help keep the vehicle in its lane.
Multi Collision Brake
The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System automatically brakes the vehicle if the airbag control module has detected a collision in an accident situation.
Requirements for automatic braking:
The driver does not press the accelerator pedal.
Electronic braking distribution (EBD)
The electronic braking distribution (EBD) regulates the braking force between the front axle and the rear axle, even outside of ABS regulation. Overbraking of the
rear axle is avoided and the vehicle remains stable when braking.
Electromechanical brake booster (eBB)
189
The electromechanical brake booster (eBB) supports the foot pressure only when the ignition is switched on and enhances the pressure applied to the brake pedal
by the driver . In case of braking support by a driver assistance system, such as during control by the ACC or during emergency braking, the brake pedal ma
move itself.
After switching off the ignition, braking assistance will be gradually reduced. If the vehicle is still being held by the brake pedal, text messages will appear on the
instrument cluster display. Brake support is limited in this case.
Secure the stationary vehicle against rolling away page , Parking.
WARNING
Driving without the brake booster or when the brake booster’s functionality is limited can increase the braking distance significantly, increasing the risk of
accidents and serious injury.
Never stop the engine or switch the ignition off while the vehicle is moving.
If the brake booster is not working, you will need to press the brake pedal harder because the lack of braking assistance will increase the braking
distance.
Always keep the footwell beneath the pedals clear so that the brake pedal is unobstructed and can move freely.
Switching the braking support system on and off
Driving situations
In order to avoid risks, the brake systems should not be switched off under normal conditions
WARNING
When ESC is switched off, the risk of the vehicle swerving is significantly higher. The vehicle can be difficult for inexperienced drivers to handle at high speeds.
Accidents and serious injuries could result.
Only switch off ESC if you are driving on a closed track and are experienced in sporty driving.
Never take risks, and note the physical limits of the vehicle.
Switching on and off
1. Open the vehicle settings of the Infotainment system Vehicle settings menu.
2. Open the settings for parking systems.

2 8
Never allow displays and information on the screen to cause you to engage in behavior that poses a safety risk. Always drive attentively and responsibly.
WARNING
Setting the volume too high prevents warning chimes from being heard from outside and can cause hearing damage. This is true even if you are exposed to a
loud volume for only a short time.
Adjust the volume settings in the Infotainment system so that audible signals from outside the vehicle (such as sirens on emergency service vehicles)
can still be heard.
WARNING
Sudden volume fluctuations may occur when the audio or media source is changed or connected.
Reduce the volume level before changing or connecting an audio or media source.
WARNING
The following conditions may prevent or cause interruptions to emergency calls, phone calls, and data transmission:

A cell phone with an unlocked SIM card and sufficient calling credit is connected to the vehicle's phone interface.
Adequate network coverage is available.
WARNING
Using a cell phone or CB radio inside the vehicle without a separate outside antenna that is installed correctly may create electromagnetic energy that exceeds
permissible limits. This may be dangerous to your health and that of your vehicle occupants. This also applies if the exterior antenna is not installed correctly.
Keep the cell phone antenna at least approximately 20 cm (8 inches) away from any active medical implants, such as pacemakers, because cell phones
can impair the function of active medical implants.
Do not place a cell phone that is turned on directly above or in the immediate vicinity of any active medical implants, for example by keeping the cell
phone in a shirt pocket.
Immediately switch off cell phones if you suspect there is interference with an active medical implant or other medical device.
WARNING
Unsecured or incorrectly mounted cell phones, external devices, and accessories can be thrown through the vehicle interior and cause injury in the event of
sudden driving or braking maneuvers or a collision.
Secure cell phones, external devices and accessories outside of the airbag deployment zone or stow them securely.
Arrange cables for external devices and audio sources so that they are not in the way of the driver.
2 9
WARNING
Driving recommendations and traffic signs displayed in the navigation system may differ from the actual traffic situation.
Traffic signs, signal systems, and traffic regulations take priority over the driving recommendations and displays in the navigation system.
Adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Certain events, such as road closures, can considerably increase the original estimated driving time and distance to the destination, or navigation there
may be temporarily impossible.
NOTICE
Radiation from cell phones that are switched on can interfere with sensitive technical and medical devices, potentially causing malfunctions or damage to the
devices.
Always switch off the cell phone in areas with special regulations relating to or prohibiting the use of cell phones.
