WARNING
Accidents and serious injury may result from driving when the CSC roof has not properly
locked into place or when the process of opening or closing the roof is incomplete. Even at
low speeds, air resistance can twist or deform the roof or tear it off completely, endangering
vehicle occupants and others.
Never drive when the CSC roof is not completely open or not completely closed and
securely latched unless you must move the vehicle to a safe place away from traffic.
If you must move the vehicle to another location for safety reasons and the CSC roof is
not completely open or not completely closed and securely latched, we recommend that you
do not drive any faster than a slow walk.
When opening and closing the CSC roof, always make sure no one will be injured by the
supports and other moving parts.
NOTICE
To help prevent damage, remove ice and snow from the CSC roof before opening it in winter
weather.
NOTICE
Volkswagen advises against all unauthorized changes to the CSC roof controls or to the
way the roof opens and closes.
Damage to the CSC roof system caused by changes to the CSC roof system controls will
not be covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty. The terms and conditions of your
Volkswagen Limited Warranties are in the
⇒ Booklet
Warranty and Maintenance
.
The CSC roof has been designed to be opened and closed only when the vehicle is stopped.
As your vehicle was manufactured, the roof cannot be opened or closed when the vehicle is
being driven, for example, at low speeds. Roof operation even at low speeds can cause the
roof to be deformed and damaged because of the increased forces from wind resistance. Wind
resistance can also cause parts of the linkages and the hydraulic system to wear prematurely,
and could even cause parts of the roof to separate and fall into the vehicle or onto the roadway
or onto another vehicle.
The CSC roof has been designed to open and close only when the lever on the center
console
⇒ fig. 32 is pushed or pulled and held in that position until the roof has opened /
closed completely. Releasing the lever stops roof movement. A chime sounds when the roof is
moving. As your vehicle was manufactured, the roof cannot be operated in a one-touch up or
down mode. The roof was designed this way for your safety and that of your passengers. One-
touch operation would make it possible for the driver to leave the vehicle unsupervised while
the roof, rear lid, and windows move into position. This would increase the risk of vehicle
damage and personal injury to bystanders, especially to children.
If the way the CSC roof works on your vehicle has been changed from the way it was
manufactured, we urge you to have your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility change it back so that it will only open and close as originally
manufactured. Mechanical changes and changes to the vehicle software must be entered in the
