The Sharan has always been the benchmark for the family lineup of German cars. The new update of the Sharan includes a change in the quality of interior materials, changes in the exterior, namely optics and some body parts.

The engines have also been upgraded and are designed for use with the new environmental standards. The choice of engines is small, but for a family car, the main thing is economy. That is why VW Sharan is available with diesel engines from 140 to 220 horses, depending on the choice of equipment.

2020 Volkswagen Sharan Owner’s Manual — Questions and Answers

What does the Start/Stop symbol mean on my 2021 Volkswagen Sharan dashboard?

The Start/Stop symbol appears on your dashboard when the engine has switched off automatically. This occurs when you select neutral gear and release the clutch at traffic lights or in traffic jams. The symbol indicates the system is active and your engine will restart when you select first gear to drive on. Owner’s Manual, p. 16

Can I reset the keyless entry system on my 2021 VW Sharan?

The manual section on keyless entry does not provide instructions for resetting the system. For reset procedures, consult your vehicle’s full technical documentation or contact a Volkswagen dealer, as this information is not covered in the keyless entry overview section. Owner’s Manual, p. 18

What is the mileage limit on the 2021 Volkswagen Sharan manufacturer’s warranty?

The 2021 Volkswagen Sharan comes with a three-year warranty covering up to 60,000 miles. This includes a two-year manufacturer’s warranty with unlimited mileage, plus an additional one-year/60,000 miles retailer warranty, whichever limit is reached first. Owner’s Manual, p. 26

What transmission options are available for the 2021 VW Sharan?

The 2020 VW Sharan offers two gearbox choices: a six-speed manual transmission across most petrol and diesel engine variants, and a six-speed automatic DSG (dual-clutch) gearbox as an option on higher-specification models. Owner’s Manual, p. 24

Why did my 2021 VW Sharan daytime running lights stop working?

The 2021 VW Sharan uses LED technology integrated into the door mirrors for daytime running lights on the S model, and incorporates front fog lights on higher trims. If these lights have stopped functioning, check that all electrical connections to the mirrors or fog light assemblies are secure. Have the LED units or fog light circuits inspected by an authorised Volkswagen retailer, as LED components cannot be replaced individually and may require full unit replacement. Owner’s Manual, p. 10

What size parking spaces can the 2020 Volkswagen Sharan Park Assist handle?

Park Assist can parallel park in particularly small spaces. It detects and handles spaces large enough for either reverse parking at 90 degrees to the kerb or parallel parking alongside the road. Owner’s Manual, p. 13

How do I turn off the Start/Stop function on my 2020 VW Sharan?

To deactivate the Start/Stop function, locate the switch within easy reach in your vehicle and turn it off. The system is designed for simple operation, allowing you to disable it whenever you prefer not to use automatic engine shutoff. Once deactivated, your engine will continue running normally even when stopped in traffic or at red lights. Owner’s Manual, p. 16

What is the difference between Park Assist and parking sensors on my 2020 Volkswagen Sharan?

Park Assist is an advanced system that helps with parallel parking in small spaces and also assists with reverse parking into 90-degree spaces. Parking sensors are separate devices in the front and rear bumpers that warn you acoustically and optically about obstacles, with faster sound frequency as you approach objects. Park Assist includes sensors on S models; other models have them standard. Owner’s Manual, p. 17

Before driving my 2020 Volkswagen Sharan in bright sunlight, what sun protection options should I check?

Your 2020 Volkswagen Sharan includes multiple sun protection features. The heat insulating rear tinted glass from the B pillar back reduces sunlight by up to 65%. If equipped with the panoramic electric sliding glass sunroof, it has tinted glass and an electric sun shade that can be easily opened and closed, even when the sunroof itself is open. Owner’s Manual, p. 8

How can I tell if the 2020 VW Sharan Flexible Service schedule is working correctly?

The Flexible Service tracks your vehicle’s maintenance based on the flexible service interval display shown in your instrument cluster. This display will alert you when an oil change is due—typically between 10,000 and 20,000 miles or at 24 months, whichever comes first. An inspection service is due after 2 years or 20,000 miles, then annually thereafter. Owner’s Manual, p. 26

Why is my 2020 Volkswagen Sharan using more fuel than expected?

Several factors affect fuel consumption on your 2020 Volkswagen Sharan. The vehicle weight influences efficiency—higher specification and factory-fitted options increase fuel usage. Altitude also matters: from 1,000m above sea level, engine performance diminishes. Real-world driving conditions typically differ from standardised EU test figures. Check your actual driving patterns against the official combined consumption ratings for your specific engine and gearbox type. Owner’s Manual, p. 24

How do I install the integrated child seats in my 2020 Volkswagen Sharan?

The 2nd row can be equipped with one integrated child seat on the left side or two integrated child seats on the outer positions. These seats are designed to Volkswagen’s exacting safety standards. Note that integrated child seats cannot be used together with Isofix child seats. The rear sliding doors provide extra space, making it easier to fasten children’s seat belts. Owner’s Manual, p. 6
