If the ABS indicator light or does not go out, or if it lights up while driving, the ABS sys‐
tem is not working properly. The vehicle can then be stopped only with the standard brakes
(without ABS). You will not have the protection ABS provides. Contact your authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility as soon as possible.
If the brake pads are worn or you notice changes in the way the vehicle brakes, immediately
contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility to have
the brake pads checked and, if necessary, replaced.
Vehicles with a brake wear indicator: If the symbol or lights up in the instru‐
ment cluster display, whether alone or together with a text message, immediately contact an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility to have the brake
pads checked and, if necessary, replaced.
WARNING
New brake pads do not provide maximum braking performance.
New brake pads do not have the best stopping power for the first 200miles (300km) and must
be broken in. You can compensate for the slightly reduced braking force by putting more pres‐
sure on the brake pedal.
Drive with extra care while the new brake pads are being broken in. This reduces the risk of
collisions and serious personal injuries due to a loss of control over the vehicle.
Never follow other vehicles too closely or put yourself into other situations that might require
sudden, hard braking, especially when the brake pads have not been broken in.
WARNING
Constant braking causes the brakes to overheat and even to fail leading to collisions and serious
personal injury.
Never ride the brakes or apply the brake pedal too often or too long.
Riding the brakes will substantially reduce braking performance, increase stopping distance,
and can cause complete brake system failure.
WARNING
Overheated brakes will reduce the vehicle's stopping power and increase stopping distances
considerably.
