and
Some functions may contain links to websites that are administered by third parties. Volkswagen does not assume ownership of third-party sites reached
through links and is not responsible for their content.
Some functions may contain third-party information that originates from third-party providers. Volkswagen is not responsible for the accuracy, currentness, and
completeness of this non-proprietary information, and for ensuring that the rights of third parties are not violated.
The radio stations and owners of the data carriers and audio sources are responsible for the transmitted content.
Parking buildings, garages, underpasses, tunnels, tall buildings, mountains and valleys or electrical devices such as battery chargers can also interfere with
cell phone, GPS and radio signal reception.
Foil stickers or stickers with a metal layer placed on the antenna and on the windows can impair radio reception.
Read and follow the applicable manufacturer's operating instructions when using cell phones, data carriers, external devices, and external audio and media
sources.
WARNING
The Infotainment system's central processor is networked with the control modules installed in the vehicle. If the central processor is incorrectly repaired,
removed or reinstalled, there is an increased risk of accident and injury due to the control module not functioning properly or at all.
Never replace the central processor with a used central processor from a scrap vehicle or from recycling.
Always have the central processor repaired, removed and reinstalled by suitably qualified professionals. Volkswagen recommends contacting an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
WARNING
Reading information on the screen, operating the Infotainment system and connecting, inserting or removing a data carrier or audio source while driving can
distract from traffic. Driver distraction can cause accidents and injuries.
Always drive attentively and responsibly.
WARNING
Displays and information on the screen may be difficult to read if the lighting conditions are unfavorable or if the screen is damaged or dirty.
2
5
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 can prevent you hearing audible signals. Failing to hear external audible signals could result in accidents.
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
Setting the volume too high can cause hearing damage, even if you are exposed to a loud volume for only a short time.
Select a volume level that is comfortable for all vehicle occupants.
Avoid excessively high volume levels.
WARNING
Sudden volume fluctuations, e.g. when the audio or media source is changed or connected, could distract the driver, which could result in accidents and injuries.
Reduce the volume level before changing or connecting an audio or media source, for example.
WARNING
The following conditions may prevent or cause interruptions to emergency calls, phone calls, and data transmission:
If you are in a location with no or very poor cell phone or GPS reception.
If you are in a location where there is good cell phone and GPS reception, but the telecommunications provider's mobile communications network is
malfunctioning or unavailable.
If the vehicle components required for emergency calls, phone calls, and data transmission are damaged, not operating, or have insufficient power.
If the cell phone battery is drained or if the battery charge level is too low.
WARNING
Radio stations can broadcast messages about disasters and dangers. It may not be possible to receive or send messages under the following conditions:
If you are in a location with no radio reception, or insufficient reception.
If the radio station's frequency bands are malfunctioning or not available.
If the speakers and vehicle components required for radio reception are damaged, not operating, or have insufficient power.
WARNING
In some countries and mobile networks, emergency calls can only be made under the following conditions:
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 the health of all vehicle occupants.
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 phone in
a shirt pocket.
Immediately switch off cell phones if you suspect there is interference with an active medical implant, such as a pacemaker, or other medical device.
WARNING
2 6
Loose, unsecured or incorrectly mounted cell phones, external devices, and accessories can be thrown through the vehicle interior and cause accidents and
severe injuries 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.
Always safely secure or stow cell phones, external devices, audio sources and accessories in the provided storage compartments and holders within the
vehicle to prevent them being thrown through the vehicle interior and thereby avoid hindering the driver.
Never leave heavy, hard or sharp objects in clothing pockets.
Arrange cables for external devices and audio sources so that they are not in the way of the driver.
WARNING
Driving recommendations and traffic signs displayed in the navigation system may differ from the actual traffic situation and must not be allowed to mislead you
into undertaking actions that present a safety risk.
Always drive attentively and be ready to intervene at any moment.
Always be aware that traffic signs, signal systems, and traffic regulations take priority over the driving recommendations and displays in the navigation
system.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
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.
NOTICE
Setting the volume too high and excessively loud or distorted playback can damage the speakers.
Select the volume setting so that the speakers are not damaged.
User information
Refer to ⇒
and Safety instructions.
The Infotainment system requires a few seconds to perform a complete system start, and will not respond to inputs during that time. During the system start,
only the Rear Assist camera can be displayed.
The Infotainment system must start completely before all displays can appear and functions can be performed. The length of time that it takes for the system to
start depends on the scope of functions in the Infotainment system, and it can take longer to start at low and high temperatures.
Observe local regulations and legal requirements when using the Infotainment system and corresponding accessories, such as a headset or headphones.
For the Infotainment system to function, it must be switched on and the vehicle must be set to the current date and time if necessary.
A missing function key in the screen is not the result of a device error, but instead corresponds to the country-dependent equipment.
Some Infotainment system functions can only be selected when the vehicle is stationary. In some countries, the selector lever must also be in the
or
selector lever position. This is not a malfunction, but rather compliance with legal regulations.
Some countries may have restrictions regarding the use of Bluetooth® devices. Information can be obtained from the local authorities.
If the 12 V vehicle battery has been disconnected, switch on the ignition before switching on the Infotainment system.
Displays on the screen may vary due to differences in the settings, and the Infotainment system may function differently than described in this manual.
The Infotainment system will switch off automatically when the engine stops and if the 12 V vehicle battery charge level is low.
In some vehicles with a parking system, the volume of the current audio source may be automatically lowered when you shift into reverse. The volume
reduction level can be adjusted.
The Infotainment system contains information about the software contained in the system and the licensing terms under: Setup
Copyright.
If selling or loaning your vehicle, make sure that all saved data, files and settings are deleted, and that the external SD card, external audio sources and data
carriers are removed, if necessary.
Certain functions in the Infotainment system require an active VW Car-Net account for the vehicle and an online connection to the Internet. In order to enable
functions to be carried out, data transfer must not be restricted.

Navigation
Introduction
The current vehicle position is determined by a global satellite system. In order to enable optimum navigation to your destination, all measured values and possible
traffic information are compared with the available map material.
Acoustic navigation announcements and graphic displays lead you to your destination.
In some countries, it may not be possible to select some Infotainment system functions on the screen when driving above a certain speed. This is not a malfunction
but rather compliance with legal regulations.
WARNING
If settings are adjusted, destinations entered and changes made to navigation information while driving, the driver may be distracted and cause accidents and
221
injuries.
Always drive attentively and responsibly.
Only adjust settings, enter destinations, or change navigation information when the vehicle is stationary.
If you missed a turn on your route, the navigation system may recalculate the route.
The quality of the driving directions depends on the available navigation data and any reported traffic incidents.
Traffic information is only given in the navigation system if the available VW Car-Net service has been activated.
Navigation restrictions
If the Infotainment system cannot receive data from GPS satellites, for example in a tunnel, navigation will still be possible using the vehicle's sensors.
In areas that are not digitized or only partially digitized in the Infotainment system memory, the Infotainment system will still try to provide route guidance.
If navigation data is missing or incomplete, the vehicle position may not be determined accurately. This may result in navigation that is not as accurate as usual.
Routing is subject to ongoing changes, like new streets, construction zones, road closures, or changes to street names or house numbers. Using outdated
navigation data can lead to errors or uncertainty when using route guidance.
Function descriptions
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒
and Safety instructions.
Voice guidance
Navigation messages are acoustic driving directions for the current route.
The type and frequency of navigation messages depends on the settings and the driving situation, like the start of the route guidance and whether you are driving o
a highway or roundabout.
If the destination cannot be reached exactly, for example because it is not in a digitized area, there will be a navigation announcement that the Destination area has
been reached. Messages about the direction and distance to your destination will also be displayed on the screen.
During dynamic route guidance, reported traffic incidents on the route are announced. There will be an additional navigation announcement if the route is
recalculated due to a traffic incident or a change in driving style.
You can adjust or mute the volume during a traffic announcement. All other navigation announcements will be given at that volume or will be muted.
Navigation messages will not be given if the Infotainment system is muted.

Introduction to using voice control
With voice control, you can have certain
functions carried out by voice
command.
Depending on the language set in the Infotainment system, command-based voice control (standard) is available in the vehicle.
Does my vehicle have voice control?
If there is a Talk button
on the multi-function steering wheel or the VOICE button is available in the Infotainment system or your vehicle understands the
activation word, voice control is installed in the vehicle.
In black with blue background: Voice control is active and recognizes spoken words.
Test voice control before a journey to get to know the function.
Differences in the voice controls
Command-based voice control (standard)
Only grammatically correct voice commands are recognized by the voice control. Voice commands must follow a fixed syntax in order to be recognized correctly,
e.g. “Navigate to [city, street name, house number]”. You can find further examples in the Infotainment system. The command-based voice control can be carried
out in any available language.
Enhanced voice control (offline or online)
Speech commands can be freely worded in common speech. For example, in response to the question “How long is left to drive?”, the system gives the remaining
time until arrival at the destination. Suggestions for voice commands depend on the set language and can be found in the Infotainment system.
Enhanced voice control works both online and offline. By evaluating voice commands, online mode offers improved POIs, media and online radio station search
functionality. Additionally, messages can be dictated. For online mode, you need a VW Car-Net contract valid for the vehicle.
If enhanced voice control is available in your language, it is used to activate voice control.
Supported languages
The number of languages available in your country depends on the vehicle equipment.
Start voice control by saying the activation word available in your country

Do not use or retrofit a roof rack if this is not approved for your vehicle.
234
WARNING
When transporting large, heavy, long, or flat loads on the roof rack, the vehicle's driving characteristics and aerodynamics change because of the different center
of gravity and increased wind resistance. This may cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
Always secure cargo correctly with suitable and undamaged cords, fixation belts or tensioning straps.
Avoid abrupt and sudden driving and braking maneuvers.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
WARNING
If the use of a roof rack is not approved for your vehicle or a roof rack that is incompatible with the vehicle is fitted, it may detach and fall from the roof of the
vehicle while you are driving. This may cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
Only use roof racks that are approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle.
Do not fit roof racks if they are not approved for your vehicle.
NOTICE
Installing any type of roof rack onto a vehicle that is not approved for use of a roof rack can cause serious damage.
Do not fit roof racks if they are not approved for your vehicle.
Driving with a roof rack fitted increases the air resistance of the vehicle and thus also the fuel consumption. This reduces the potential range of the vehicle. This
applies to all roof racks and any objects transported on them, such as bicycles and skis.
Mounting a roof rack
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒
and Introduction.
Fig. 132 Mounting points for base supports.

Gasoline
Refer to ⇒
and Safety precautions for handling fuel.
Gasoline types
The gasoline types differ in terms of their Anti-Knock Index (AKI) specification, which is given from the formula (RON
+MON) / 2, or the Research Octane Number
(RON) specification. The vehicle may also be fueled with gasoline that has a higher AKI or RON than what is required by the engine. However, this will not improve
fuel consumption or engine power.
Arteon, Atlas 2.0 and Jetta GLI: Volkswagen recommends using premium-grade fuel with AKI 91 or RON 95 in order to achieve the specified power and torque.
The fuel label may include multiple types of gasoline, e.g. AKI 93 (AKI min. 91). The highlighted gasoline type, AKI 93 in this example, is the preferred gasoline typ
for which the vehicle is designed and optimized. The listed alternative gasoline type, AKI 91 in this example, should only be used if the preferred type, AKI 93 in this
example, is not available.
If your vehicle has a gasoline engine, fuel it only with gasoline that does not contain any metal (no lead, manganese or iron)
⇒
The most frequently purchased gasoline types in the USA and Canada have the following octane values, which are normally listed on the fuel pump:
Regular (normal gasoline): AKI 87 to 90 or RON 91.
Premium (super gasoline): AKI 91 to 93 or RON 95.
Volkswagen recommends using “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline”, which is available in some regions, for example North America, Central America and South
America. For more information on “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline”, visit the official website at:
NOTICE
The use of gasoline that does not meet the minimum requirements for the octane number can impair engine performance. The use of poor-quality gasoline or
gasoline with an AKI of under 87 or a RON of under 91 can cause engine damage.
Only fuel with gasoline that meets or exceeds the specified octane number, Research Octane Number (RON) or Anti-Knock Index (AKI).

If you cannot open the fuel filler flap, pay attention to the messages in the instrument cluster display.
Refueling procedure
1. Unlock the fuel filler flap with the
button in the driver door.
2. Open the fuel filler flap.
3. Remove the fuel tank cap and insert it into the opening at the fuel filler flap provided for this fig. 134.
4. Hold the fuel pump nozzle handle down to ensure optimum refueling.
The fuel tank is full once the fuel pump nozzle turns off for the first time
⇒
5. Screw the fuel tank cap onto the fuel filler neck.
6. Close the fuel filler flap.
Do not continue filling after disconnection. The expansion area in the fuel tank may fill with fuel, e.g. due to heating. This may mean that the fuel overflows or the
automatic ventilation process cannot work ⇒ Troubleshooting.
WARNING
Fuel may spray out and overflow if the fuel tank is overfilled. This can cause explosions, fires, and serious or fatal injuries.
Do not continue filling after the pump nozzle switches off for the first time.
NOTICE
If the tank is not emptied up to the reserve level at regular intervals, it might not be possible to maintain the fuel quality and system function required for driving.
At least every six months, only refuel when the warning light
turns on.
Fuels can contaminate the environment. Collect any leaking operating fluids and dispose of them according to legal regulations.
Exhaust system
Introduction
The exhaust-relevant components reduce exhaust emissions:
Catalytic converter ⇒ Catalytic converter.
Particulate filter (depending on the vehicle equipment) ⇒ Particulate filter.
WARNING
If the engine runs in enclosed spaces, poisonous gases may enter the vehicle interior. This can cause serious injuries and death due to asphyxiation.
Never start the engine in confined spaces.
24
Do not allow the engine to run in confined spaces.
Do not leave your vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
WARNING
Hot vehicle parts and exhaust can ignite flammable or explosive materials in the vicinity. This can lead to a fire and cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
Never park the vehicle in such a way that parts of the exhaust system come into contact with flammable materials under the vehicle, such as dry grass.
Never use additional underbody protection or corrosion protection on exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, particulate filters or heat shields.
Catalytic converter
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒
and Safety precautions for handling fuel.
To ensure that the exhaust system and the engine catalytic converter can work correctly for a long time, observe the following:
Only refuel with fuel permitted for the vehicle.
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty ⇒ Refueling.
Never add too much engine oil ⇒ Checking the engine oil level and adding oil .
Do not tow-start the vehicle; use jump-start assistance instead ⇒ Preparing and Performing a Jump-start.
If there are engine misfires, loss of power, or poor engine operation while driving, reduce the speed immediately and have the vehicle checked by suitably qualified
professionals ⇒ Troubleshooting. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Otherwise,
uncombusted fuel could be present in the exhaust system and then enter the atmosphere. The catalytic converter may also be damaged from overheating.
The exhaust may smell like sulfur when the emissions control system is running correctly.
Particulate filter
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒
and Safety precautions for handling fuel.
Function
The particulate filter (depends on how your vehicle is equipped) filters out soot from the exhaust gas.
Regeneration
With normal vehicle usage, the filter cleans itself. If the filter is unable to clean itself, e.g. if you only make short trips for an extended period of time, the filter can
become blocked with soot. The particulate filter needs to be cleaned (regenerated).
Noises, light odors, and increased engine speeds may occur during the regeneration. The radiator fan may continue to run while driving and after turning off the
engine.
To assist in particulate filter regeneration, Volkswagen recommends avoiding driving short distances too frequently.
The soot in the particulate filter is burned periodically at high temperatures. The yellow
indicator light does not turn on during a periodic regeneration.
Troubleshooting
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒
and Safety precautions for handling fuel.
If the engine does not run smoothly and malfunctions
If the engine does not run smoothly or malfunctions while driving, it can indicate poor fuel quality.
1. Reduce your speed immediately.
2. Drive with a moderate RPM and low engine load to the nearest suitably qualified professional. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
3. If these symptoms occur directly after refueling, stop the engine immediately to prevent subsequent damage.
4.
Do not continue driving! Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance.
Particulate filter clogged with soot
The yellow
indicator light turns on.
The particulate filter is clogged with soot and a regeneration is necessary.
Prerequisite for the regeneration drive: The engine is at operating temperature.
For gasoline engines
1. Drive at a speed of between 50 km/h and 120 km/h (30 mph and 75 mph).
241
The resulting temperature increase burns off the soot in the filter.
2. Only end the regeneration drive once the indicator light turns off.
3. If the indicator light is still illuminated after driving for approximately 40 minutes, drive immediately to suitably qualified professionals for assistance. Volkswagen
recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
If, during the regeneration drive, the prompt to refuel appears in the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, the particulate filter regeneration process can be interrupted.
Refuel if necessary and then continue the regeneration drive.
Automatic fuel tank ventilation malfunction
If the fuel tank is opened without prior ventilation, fuel vapors will escape from the filler neck. This may lead to temporary odors.
Opening the fuel tank without ventilation:
1. Press the release button
The fuel filler flap will release without ventilation.
2. Open the fuel filler flap.
Refueling with an automatic fuel tank ventilation malfunction:
1. Hold the fuel pump nozzle handle down to ensure optimum refueling.
2. Only continue carefully in this case until the fuel tank is full.
3. If the automatic ventilation process is still not working, contact a suitably qualified professional and have the ventilation system checked. Volkswagen
recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
The fuel pump nozzle may turn off prematurely when refueling due to the lack of ventilation.
Exhaust-related malfunction
The yellow
indicator light turns on.
An exhaust-related component is malfunctioning, which could damage the vehicle.
1. Contact a suitably qualified professional and have the engine and the exhaust system checked. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Misfire
The yellow
indicator light flashes.
There is misfire which could damage the vehicle.
1. Contact a suitably qualified professional and have the engine and the exhaust system checked. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
WARNING
Sudden braking or driving maneuvers, e.g. if an indicator light turns on or the engine does not run smoothly, may cause accidents. This can result in serious
injury or death.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Follow the road traffic laws and regulations that apply in the country you are driving in.
If the indicator lights are on or flashing, it is likely that there is an engine malfunction and that fuel consumption will increase.
