The Golf Plus is based on the Golf's successful history It is intended to continue to the "superior dynamics" as the benchmark in the compact class, is positioned positioning introduced by the Golf in 2004, extending in the new segment of high-roof passenger cars and this with characteristics such as spatial comfort, can therefore safely claim leadership in the Golf variability and functionality.
In brief The Golf Plus 2005 In addition to the technology familiar from the Golf, the Golf Plus is equipped with a few further special features. This includes its higher body, its rear lights in LED technology and also its split rear seat bench, which...

Body The body structure Its concept has been integrated from the tried-and-tested Golf 2004 and adapted to the requirements of the Golf Plus. By consistently employing high- and ultra-high-strength panels, its strength has again been optimised without significantly increasing its weight. Special characteristics The A-pillar has been modified to integrate the quarter light.

Steel grades in the Golf Plus Steels are classified according to their tensile strength. The higher the steel grade, the higher the tensile strength, which is measured in Megapascals. The higher material properties are achieved by alloying and hardening the steel in different ways.

Body The storage compartments Besides a multitude of storage compartments familiar from the Golf 2004, the Golf Plus additionally offers storage compartments in the centre console and drawers beneath the front seats. In vehicles fitted with the Rear Seat Entertainment system, the DVD player is located in the storage compartment between the front seats beneath the armrest.
Page 11
The roof console The Golf Plus is optionally available with a large roof console. Three unfolding storage compartments are located in the front area. The rear area houses the fold-down monitor in vehicles fitted with the Rear Seat Entertainment system. S338_027 Glazing The quarter light is bonded-in.

Body The load floor The Golf Plus has a variable load floor. This means: The load floor is height-adjustable. The load floor can be removed. The length of the load floor adapts to the longitudinally-adjustable rear seat bench. Longitudinal adjustment This is carried out by means of movable covers, which are locked along with the rear seats.
Height adjustment The load floor can be inserted at two heights. S338_106 Top insertion option Bottom insertion option S338_029 Removing the load floor In addition to the load floor, the transverse rail can also be removed. This results in maximum luggage compartment volume.
Page 14
Body The seats The front seats The seat frames have been integrated from the Golf 2004. The higher fastening bracket results in a seating position which is higher than that in the Golf 2004. A front passenger seat with the through-loading option familiar from the Golf 2004 is also available as an optional extra.
Page 15
The rear seat bench This is split into two. Both sections can be individually moved 160mm in the longitudinal direction. By pulling on the release straps, the inclination of these can be adjusted, the sections can be completely folded. S338_073 As an additional storage option, a multi-function box can be secured to the folding centre armrest.
Body Pedestrian protection The bumper To reduce the risk of injury to pedestrians, the bumper cross-member is covered with a foam part. The pedestrian protection cross-member is located beneath the bumper cross-member. This reduces the risk of injury to pedestrians' legs. Bumper cross-member Foam Pedestrian protection...
Page 17
The bonnet support This area has also been optimised for pedestrian protection by using a bonnet support instead of a gas pressure spring. In contrast to a gas pressure spring, the bonnet support is able to bend in the event of an impact. S338_117 The windscreen wiper shafts The wiper shafts have also been revised to enhance pedestrian protection.
Occupant protection The airbags The airbag system familiar from the Golf 2004 is also fitted in the Golf Plus: Driver and front passenger airbag Side airbag in the front seats Head airbag for the front and rear passengers 3-point seat belts on all seats Seat belt pretensioner, belt tension limiter and seat occupied sensor for the front passengers.
Engines The 1.4l 55 kW engine The 1.4l 55 kW engine is the entry-level engine for the Golf Plus. This has been taken over from the Golf 2004 and adapted to the package conditions in the Golf Plus. Special characteristics Return-free fuel system Crankshaft sealing flange with magnetised sender wheel for engine speed...

The inverter As an optional extra, the Golf Plus can be equipped with a 230V/50Hz socket for the European market or a 115V/60Hz socket for North America. Depending on the model, the European socket is designed without an earthing contact. The inverter has a continuous output of 150W.
Electrical system Trailer detector control unit J345 This ensures that the trailer's electrical components are integrated into the vehicle network. Location The trailer detector control unit is located behind the luggage compartment trim on the left-hand side panel. Tasks S338_109 The trailer detector control unit determines whether a trailer is connected to the trailer socket, and makes this information available to other control...
Page 35
However, the trailer detector control unit also feeds Rotary switch for lighting messages into the CAN data bus, so that the affected control units can switch to trailer mode. This information is required: Onboard supply control unit J519 - At the onboard supply system control unit to actuate the rear fog light.
Page 36
Electrical system Function Based on cold monitoring of the tail lights and turn signals, the trailer detector control unit determines J345 whether a trailer is connected. This is carried out via bulb current sensing. The minimum load which has to be connected at the control unit outputs to achieve this is 5W per output.

Convenience electronics Rain closing The "rain closing" convenience function" will be introduced for the first time in Volkswagen's Golf class along with the Golf Plus. This is a distributed function in which the onboard supply, convenience and door control units, the rain and light detector sensor and, depending on the equipment fitted, the sliding roof control unit work together.

Heater and air conditioner Climate control S338_059 Three different systems are available in the Golf Plus: - The manual heater and ventilation system, - The semi-automatic heater and air conditioner "Climatic" and - The heater and air conditioner "Climatronic". An identically designed air conditioner unit, which has been adapted to the relevant vehicle equipment, is used for both air conditioners.
Page 49
The vents are sub-divided. This doubles the number of vents in the upper area of the dash panel to eight, and enables more individual adjustment. Better air output is made possible thanks to the larger air duct cross-sections. The cross-sections of the rear footwell vents have also been increased.

Heater and air conditioner The Thermo Top V auxiliary coolant heater The Golf Plus can be fitted with the optional Thermo Top V auxiliary coolant heater. This undertakes the following tasks: Acts as an auxiliary heater for heating the vehicle interior and defrosting the vehicle's windows, Acts as stationary ventilation to lower the interior temperature when the vehicle is parked in the sun, Acts as an additional heater in vehicles with petrol or diesel engines (fitted as standard in diesel engines).
Page 53
The venturi nozzle Fuel inlet The intaken air is guided through a ceramic housing, which is shaped as a venturi nozzle. As a result of this, the air delivered by the combusion air blower is acce- lerated to approx. 50 m/s. The incoming fuel is therefore drawn from the fuel line and swirled.
Page 54
Heater and air conditioner Activation of Thermo Top V There are three ways of activating the Thermo Top V auxiliary coolant heater. The "heater" or "ventilation" functions can be set in the dash panel insert display. 1. Activation of the auxiliary coolant heater via the instant heat button on the control panel.
