Lighting (8)
Coming home and leaving home
When you get out in the dark the lights stay on briefly, and they switch on when you unlock. Can also be set to use fog lights or xenons.
Automatic version requires a light sensor.
Cornering lights via the fog lamps
When turning slowly or on full lock, the fog lamp on the inside of the turn lights up. You see kerbs and cyclists better.
Condition: Front fog lights
Daytime running lights in the vehicle menu
An option to set the daytime running lights appears in the trip computer or MMI menu.
DRL is mandatory in the EU; the final setting is agreed in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
DRL only in Auto position – adjust
The daytime running lights only work with the light switch in Auto. Behaviour in position 0 is agreed with you.
DRL is mandatory in the EU; we discuss the permitted variant.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
DRL off with the parking brake – adjust
With the parking brake on and the engine running, the daytime running lights switch off. Handy when waiting, loading or camping.
For standing still only; the setting is agreed together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Lights on automatically in rain and on the motorway
In Auto, the low beam switches on automatically when the wipers run for a while or above roughly 140 km/h.
Condition: Light/rain sensor
Brake lights flash in an emergency stop
In an emergency stop the brake lights or hazard lights flash, so traffic behind reacts faster.
Only works under hard braking above a certain speed.
Comfort-indicator flash count
One tap on the stalk flashes the indicator 3, 4 or 5 times. Pleasant when overtaking on the motorway.
Access and locking (3)
Doors locking from a set speed
The doors lock automatically once you drive off above roughly 15 km/h. Reassuring in town and at traffic lights.
Doors unlock at switch-off or in P
After auto-locking, the doors unlock again as soon as you remove the key or, with DSG, select P.
Unlock the driver door first
One press unlocks only the driver door, a second press the whole vehicle. Safer in car parks and for vans with cargo in the back.
Comfort (3)
Mirrors folding on lock
The door mirrors fold in automatically when you lock with the key and fold out again when you unlock. Handy in narrow streets, campsites and car parks.
Only possible if the mirrors fold electrically.
Condition: Electrically folding mirrors fitted
Mirror dips when reversing
When you select reverse, the passenger mirror tilts down so you can see the kerb and parking lines. It returns when you drive off.
Depends on mirror and door module version.
Windows and sunroof from the key
Holding the key button opens or closes all windows (and the sunroof). Handy to air the car on hot days or close everything at once.
Convenience (3)
Extra wipe against drips
A few seconds after washing, the wiper makes one extra sweep so no drips run down the glass. Or turn it off if you find it annoying.
Start-stop – remember last setting
The start-stop system remembers whether you switched it off last time, so you do not need to press the button every trip.
The final setting is agreed in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Condition: Start-stop fitted
Service interval setting
After a service the reminder is reset, and the interval can be set to fixed or flexible (LongLife).
Retrofit (3)
LED number plate lights without error
After fitting LED number plate lights, bulb monitoring is adjusted so no "bulb failure" message appears.
Use only E-approved LED lamps.
Rear camera retrofit
A reversing camera is fitted and linked to the existing screen, including guidelines where the system supports them.
Feasibility and kit depend on the radio or MMI version.
Condition: Composition Media / Discover Media
Cruise control retrofit
A cruise control stalk or steering wheel buttons are fitted and the function is enabled in the engine control unit. Relaxed driving on long trips.
Not every engine software supports this; we check in advance.
Audio (2)
Hide the AM band
The AM band, which is hardly used in the Netherlands, disappears from the radio menu. Searching and switching is quicker.
Condition: Discover Media
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
On suitable infotainment systems, smartphone integration (CarPlay/Android Auto) is made available, if needed with the correct USB socket.
Only with a suitable head unit; we check this in advance.
Condition: Composition Media / Discover Media with App-Connect hardware
Screens and instruments (2)
Needle sweep at start-up
When you switch on the ignition, the speedometer and rev counter needles sweep to maximum and back once, just like on sports cars.
How many litres still fit
At the pump the display shows how many litres still fit in the tank. Handy with jerry cans or fuel cards with a limit.
Climate (1)
Heated seats remember their level
After a short stop the seat heating comes back on at the last chosen level, so you do not have to press again every time.
Condition: Heated seats
Safety (1)
Seatbelt reminder – adjust
The seatbelt reminder can be adjusted, for example for the passenger seat when a bag or cargo often sits there.
Wearing seatbelts remains mandatory; the setting is agreed in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop.
Sounds and chimes (1)
Beep when locking
A short chirp or horn tone confirms locking and unlocking, so you know the vehicle is shut.
