The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster display provides information on the system status.
The last-stored system settings will remain after the vehicle is switched off and on again.
If the lane change system has been automatically deactivated, the system can be activated again only after the ignition is switched off and on.

Brightness

The basic brightness level can be set in the infotainment system
The brightness of the visual display will automatically adapt to the light levels. Therefore, it is best to adjust the brightness in conditions with
average ambient brightness so that the changes in the display are visible.
Volkswagen recommends setting the brightness so that the display can be seen well in normal surroundings, but does not distract when looking
through the windscreen.
The lane change system is not active during the setting procedure.

Automatic deactivation of the lane change system

The radar sensors for the lane change system including Rear Traffic Alert will switch off automatically if, for example, the system detects that a
radar sensor is permanently covered. This can, for example, be caused by a layer of ice or snow in front of the radar sensor on the rear bumper.
A corresponding text notification is shown on the instrument cluster display.
Towing a trailer
The lane change system and the Rear Traffic Alert deactivate automatically and cannot be switched on if the factory-fitted towing bracket is
electrically connected to a trailer or similar.
Once a trailer is electrically connected to the vehicle and the driver pulls away, a notification appears in the instrument cluster display to inform
the driver that the lane change system and the Rear Traffic Alert have been deactivated. After the trailer is separated from the vehicle, the lane
change system and the Rear Traffic Alert must be reactivated via the menu.
The lane change system and the Rear Traffic Alert must be deactivated manually if a non-factory-fitted towing bracket is used.
