Automatic transmission malfunction ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS Emergency shift program If all selector lever position indicators in the instrument cluster display are highlighted against a bright ® background, there is a system malfunction. The automatic transmission or the DSG automated transmission will then operate in the emergency shift program. The emergency shift program lets you drive the vehicle, but at a reduced speed and without being able to use all of the forward gears. ® In some cases, vehicles with a DSG automated transmission may not be able to shift into reverse. It is then impossible to drive the vehicle backwards. In any event, have the automatic transmission checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or author- ized Volkswagen Service Facility. ® Overheating of the DSG automated transmission The DSG transmission may overheat, for example, due to frequent starts, extended “creeping,” or stop-and-go traffic. Overheating is indicated by the warning light and, if applicable, by a text mes- sage in the instrument cluster. An additional warning chime may sound. Stop and let the transmission cool down ⇒ . The vehicle does not move forward or in reverse even though a drive position is selected with the selector lever If the vehicle does not move in the desired direction, the system may not have engaged the drive position correctly. Press the brake pedal and select the drive position again. If the vehicle still does not move in the desired direction, there is a system malfunction. See your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance to have the system checked.
