Lights up Possible cause Proper response Take the vehicle to an authorized H "2!+% Hill Hold malfunction. Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility and have the system checked. k Hill Descent Assist switched on. Flashes Possible cause Proper response k Hill Descent Assist is operating. When the ignition is switched on, several warning and indicator lights come on briefly for a function check. They go out after a few seconds. WARNING Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and serious personal injury. x Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS. x Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. NOTICE Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in vehicle damage. Hill Hold ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS Hill Hold helps keep the vehicle from rolling backwards when starting out on a hill, for example after stopping at a traffic light. You don't have to apply and release the parking brake while depressing the accelerator. For Hill Hold to work, the engine must be running and the vehicle must be in Drive (D), Sport Drive (S), or Reverse (R) and you must use the foot brake to hold the vehicle before starting to move. Hill Hold keeps the brake applied for not quite 2 seconds with the same force you used to prevent the vehicle from moving. This gives you time to take your foot off the brake, and gently depress the accelerator to get the vehicle moving again. If you do not depress the accelerator pedal and get the vehicle moving again within this time, the brakes will release and the vehicle will roll downhill. Furthermore, if any requirement for engaging Hill Hold is no longer met while the vehicle is stopped, Hill Hold disengages, the indicator light in the button goes out, and the brakes are automatically released and will no longer hold the vehicle. Hill Hold is activated automatically when points 1 to 3 are met at the same time: 1. Hold the stopped vehicle on an incline with the foot brake or electronic parking brake. 2. The engine is running “smoothly.” 3. The transmission must be in Reverse (R), Drive (D), or Sport Drive (S) and the foot brake must be depressed to keep the vehicle from moving.
