The ABS is not functioning correctly if the indicator lamp does not go out or comes on while the vehicle is in motion. The vehicle  
can be stopped using the normal brakes only. Any restriction of the ABS can cause accidents and may result in vehicle damage and  
serious or fatal injury.  
Go to a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.  
By selecting different driving profiles, the driver can adapt the characteristics of the vehicle systems to the current driving situation,  
the desired ride comfort and an economical driving style. The adaptable vehicle systems include the chassis, steering, drive and the  
air conditioning system.  
Different driving profiles are available, depending on the vehicle equipment level. The effect on the vehicle systems in the individual  
driving profiles depends on the vehicle equipment level.
