Volkswagen Beetle (2015 year). Instruction — part 15

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 First Gear or Reverse (manual transmission) or in Drive (D),
Sport Drive (S), or Reverse (R) (automatic transmission) 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, let the clutch out on a manual
transmission vehicle, 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 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:

Step

Manual transmission

Automatic transmission

1.

Hold the stopped vehicle on an incline with the foot or parking brake.

2.

The engine must be running “smoothly.”

3.

A manual transmission vehicle must be in 1st

gear (1) if headed up a hill or in Reverse (R) if

backing up a hill; you must hold the clutch

down and the foot brake must be depressed

to keep the vehicle from moving.

An automatic transmission vehicle must be in

Reverse (R), Drive (D), or Sport Drive (S) and

the foot brake must be depressed to keep the

vehicle from moving.

4.

To drive off, take your foot off the brake pedal

as you let the clutch out and gently depress

the accelerator within 2 seconds. If the accel-

erator is not depressed, the brakes will re-

lease automatically.

To drive off, take your foot off the brake pedal

and gently depress the accelerator within

2 seconds.

Hill Hold is immediately deactivated:

If any requirement listed in the table above is no longer met.
If the engine is not running smoothly or the engine malfunctions.
If the engine stalls or is switched off.
If the driver door is opened.
Automatic transmission vehicles: If the transmission is in Neutral (N).

Automatic transmission vehicles: If a tire does not have enough road contact (such as when the

vehicle is tipped or at an angle).

WARNING

The intelligent technology of Hill Hold cannot overcome the laws of physics. Never let the
increased convenience provided by Hill Hold tempt you into taking risks.

The Hill Hold feature cannot hold the vehicle in all hill start situations (for example, if the

surface is icy or slippery).

Hill Hold can only help keep the vehicle from moving for less than 2 seconds. After that,

the brakes will be released and the vehicle can roll down the hill.

Cruise control

Introduction

In this section you’ll find information about:

Indicator lights

Cruise control operation

Your vehicle may be equipped with cruise control, which helps maintain an individually stored constant
speed when driving above about 15 mph (20 km/h).

Cruise control slows down the vehicle only by reducing the flow of fuel to the engine, not by braking
⇒

.

More information:

Shifting
Parts, accessories, repairs, and modifications

WARNING

Using the cruise control when it is not possible to drive safely at a constant speed can be
dangerous and can lead to an accident and serious personal injuries.

Never use cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic or when you cannot keep

a safe distance between you and the vehicles ahead of you.

Never use cruise control on steep, winding, or slippery roads (such gravel roads, wet

roads, or snowy or icy roads) or on roads with standing water.

Never use cruise control when driving off-road or on unpaved roads.
Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between you and the vehicles ahead

of you to the road, traffic, weather, and visibility conditions.

To help prevent unintended operation of cruise control, switch the system off when it is

not being used.

It is dangerous to use the Resume feature when the previously set speed is too high for

the existing road, traffic, or weather conditions.

When going downhill, the cruise control may not be able to maintain a constant speed.

The vehicle will speed up because of its own weight. Downshift and/or use the foot brake to
slow the vehicle.

Heating and air conditioning

Introduction

In this section you’ll find information about:

Manual controls

Climatronic controls

Operation

Air vents

Air recirculation

Manual air conditioning and Climatronic

Your vehicle is equipped with either a manual air conditioning climate control system or a
Climatronic climate control system.

On vehicles with Climatronic climate control, Climatronic information appears in the Climatronic display
and/or on the screen of the factory-installed Radio system or Radio & Navigation system.

The temperature units (Fahrenheit or Celsius) in the factory-installed Radio system or Radio & Naviga-
tion system screen can be changed in the Settings menu in the instrument cluster display on ap-
propriately equipped vehicles.

The dust and pollen filter

The dust and pollen filter with an activated carbon insert reduces the entry of pollutants into the pas-
senger compartment.

The dust and pollen filter must be replaced at the intervals recommended in

⇒ Booklet

Warranty and

Maintenance so that the air conditioner can work properly.
If the effectiveness of the filter decreases prematurely due to operating the vehicle where the outside
air is heavily polluted, the dust and pollen filter should be replaced more frequently than indicated.

WARNING

Poor visibility increases the risk of collisions and other accidents that cause serious person-
al injuries.

Always make sure all windows are clear of ice, snow and condensation for good visibility

to the front, sides, and rear.

Maximum heating output and defrosting performance are not possible until the engine has

reached operating temperature. Wait until you have good visibility before driving off.

Always make sure you know how to properly use the climate control system as well as the

rear window defroster that you will need for good visibility.

Never use air recirculation for long periods of time. When the air conditioner is off and

recirculation mode is on, condensation can quickly form on the windows and greatly reduce
visibility.

Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not needed.

WARNING

Stale air causes driver fatigue and reduces driver alertness, which can cause accidents, colli-
sions and serious personal injury.

Never switch off the fan for a long period of time and never use air recirculation for a long

period of time because no fresh air will enter the passenger compartment.

NOTICE

If you think the air conditioner is not working properly or may be damaged, switch it off to

help prevent more damage. Have the air conditioner checked by an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Air conditioner repair requires specialized knowledge and special tools. Volkswagen rec-

ommends that you see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility.

Do not smoke when air recirculation is switched on. Smoke drawn into the ventilation sys-

tem can leave residue on the evaporator and on the dust and pollen active carbon filter, result-
ing in permanent odors whenever the air conditioner is switched on.

If the air conditioner is switched off, the fresh outside air will not be dehumidified. To help keep

the windows from fogging over, Volkswagen recommends leaving the air conditioner (compressor)
switched on. Press the

button. The indicator light in the button must light up.

When it is very hot and humid outside, water condensation can drip from the air conditioner

evaporator and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak.

Keep the air intake slots in front of the windshield free of ice, snow, and leaves in order to main-

tain proper functioning of the heating and ventilation systems.

Maximum heating output and defrosting performance are not possible until the engine has

reached operating temperature.

Emergency starting and starting the engine with a very weak vehicle battery or after the vehicle

battery has been replaced may change or delete system settings (including time, date, personal con-

venience settings, and programming). Check the settings and correct as necessary once the vehicle
battery has built up a sufficient charge.

Operation

Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

The air conditioner works only when the ignition is switched on. The cooling system for the passenger
compartment works only when the engine is running and the fan is on.

The air conditioner is most efficient when the windows and the power sunroof are closed. If the vehicle
is stationary and the passenger compartment becomes very hot due to sunlight, briefly opening the
windows and the power sunroof may speed up the cooling process.

Keep the air intake slots in front of the windshield free of ice, snow, and leaves so that the heating and
ventilation systems can work properly.

Settings for optimum visibility

When you switch on the cooling system, both the temperature and humidity in the vehicle are reduced.
This will help make passengers feel more comfortable and help keep the windows from fogging up.

For manual air conditioning

Switch off the air recirculation

⇒ Air recirculation.

Set the fan to the desired speed.
Turn the temperature knob to the center position.

Open and adjust all air vents in the instrument panel

⇒ Air vents.

Turn the air distribution knob to the desired setting.
Push the

button to turn on the air conditioner. The indicator light in the button lights up.

For Climatronic

Press the

button.

Set the temperature to +72 °F (+22 °C).

Open and adjust all air vents in the instrument panel

⇒ Air vents.

Climatronic: Changing the temperature units

The inside and outside temperatures can be displayed in either Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C).

Select Units in the instrument cluster display in the Settings main menu Volkswagen Information
System.

You can also press and hold the

and

buttons to switch the Climatronic temperature display

from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa.

Heating

Maximum heating output and defrosting performance are not possible until the engine has reached
operating temperature.

Air conditioner does not work

The air conditioner may not switch on for one of the following reasons:

The engine is not running.
The fan is switched off.
The air conditioner fuse has blown.
The outside air temperature is colder than about +38 °F (+3 °C).
The air conditioner compressor has been temporarily switched off due to excessive engine coolant

temperature.

There is another malfunction in the vehicle. Have the air conditioner checked by an authorized

Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Special considerations

When it is very hot and humid outside, water condensation can drip from the air conditioner
evaporator and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak.

The climate control system adjusts the passenger compartment temperature as fast as possible

considering the outside temperature.

Due to residual moisture in the air conditioner, the windshield may fog up after the engine is

started. Switch on the windshield defroster to help evaporate the condensation as quickly as possible.

The air coming out of the vents flows through the passenger compartment and through the vents

in the luggage compartment. Do not cover these slots with clothing or other things.

Air vents

can leave residue on the evaporator and on the dust and pollen active carbon filter, resulting in
permanent odors whenever the air conditioner is switched on.

Climatronic: When backing up and while the automatic wiper/washer is operating, air

recirculation is briefly activated to help keep exhaust fumes from getting into the passenger
compartment.

Refueling

Introduction

In this section you’ll find information about:

Indicator lights and fuel gauge

Refueling

Misfueling guard for diesel vehicles

Fuel capacities

Refueling checklist

The fuel filler flap is located on the rear right side of the vehicle.

More information:

Exterior views
Fuel
Selective catalytic reduction (AdBlue)
Working in the engine compartment

WARNING

Improper refueling or handling of fuel is dangerous and can cause fire, explosion, and severe
burns.

Always make sure that the fuel filler cap is screwed on all the way. This helps keep fuel

from spilling out or evaporating.

Fuel is highly flammable and explosive; it can cause severe burns and other severe

injuries.

Failure to shut the engine off while refueling and/or to insert the pump nozzle all the way

into the fuel filler neck can cause fuel to overflow and to spray out. Fuel spray and
overflowing fuel are dangerous because they can cause fire and serious personal injury.

During refueling, the engine and the ignition must be switched off for safety reasons.
Never use a mobile telephone, CB radio, or other radio equipment while refueling. The

electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.

Never get back into your vehicle while refueling. If in exceptional circumstances you must

get back in your vehicle while refueling, make certain that you close the door and touch metal
to discharge static electricity before touching the filler nozzle again. This helps avoid the
buildup of static electricity, which can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors released
during refueling.

Never smoke or have an open flame (or sparks, cigarettes, or other smoldering objects)

anywhere in or near your vehicle when refueling or filling a portable fuel container.

Follow all safety instructions and procedures that apply at the service station where you

refuel.

Never spill fuel in the vehicle or the luggage compartment.

WARNING

Even if empty, portable fuel containers can leak and cause a fire and serious personal
injuries, especially in a crash.

For your safety, we strongly recommend that you do not travel with a portable fuel

container in your vehicle.

If, under exceptional circumstances, you must transport a portable fuel container, please

observe the following:

– Never fill a portable fuel container while it is anywhere in or on the vehicle (for
example, in the luggage compartment or on top of the rear hatch). Static electricity can
build up while filling and can ignite fuel vapors, causing a fire.

– Always place a portable fuel container on the ground before filling. Never spill fuel
inside the vehicle or luggage compartment. Fuel vapors are highly flammable.

– Always keep the filler nozzle completely inside the portable container before and
during filling.

– If filling a portable container made of metal, the filler nozzle must always be in contact
with the container. This will help prevent static electricity from discharging and causing a
fire.

– Always observe local and state or provincial laws about the use, storage, and
transportation of portable fuel containers.

– Make certain that the portable fuel container meets industry standards, such as
ANSI/ASTM F852-86.

NOTICE

Remove fuel spills from the vehicle immediately to help prevent damage to the paint, tires,

and wheel housings.

Refueling with gasoline when your vehicle has a diesel engine or refueling with diesel fuel

when your vehicle has a gasoline engine can cause very serious and expensive engine and
fuel system damage that is not covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty.

If you put any amount of incorrect fuel in the fuel tank, do not start the engine under any

circumstances. Immediately contact the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance. These fuels contain substances that can severely
damage the fuel system and the engine if the engine is started.

Vehicles with diesel engines must never be refueled or driven with gasoline, kerosene,

heating oil, or other non-specified fuels that have not been expressly approved for use with the
diesel engine. Other kinds of fuel will cause serious damage to the fuel system and the engine
that is not covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty.

Fuels can pollute the environment. Spilled fuel must be collected and disposed of properly,

following all applicable environmental regulations.

There is no emergency release for the fuel filler flap. Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or

an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance.
