02-6 Electrical System
Power windows: Inspecting positioning
If the battery is diconnected the power windows forget
their current position.
Test conditions:
•All car doors closed
The inspection procedure is carried out from the outside
Close window with the car key using the convenience
closing system.
–Turn car key into close position and hold until all the
windows are closed.
–After closing the windows hold the key in the close po-
sition for approximately another 3 seconds.
Electrical components: Check for proper
operation
–Inspect lighting, main headlights, headlight beam con-
trol, fog lights, turn signal lights, hazard warning light
system, tail lights, rear fog lights, reversing lights,
brake lights, parking light control for brightness and
proper operation.
–Inspect interior lights, illuminated storage compart-
ment, illuminated ashtray for proper operation.
–Airbag warning lamps: Check operation ⇒Chapter
02-7.
–Inspect warning buzzer, onboard computer, all switch-
es in centre console as well as on the dash panel and
horn for proper operation.
–Inspect power windows, exterior mirrors (heated and
electrically adjustable), central locking system, infra-
red remote control and convenience closing system
for proper operation
–Inspect heating of front seats for proper operation.
–Inspect radio for proper reception and absence of in-
terference, also inspect speakers ⇒02-6 page 2.
Battery: Testing no-load voltage
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Multimeter (e.g. -V.A.G 1526 A-)
Prior to the measurement the vehicle must have been in
the no-load state for at least two hours (no engine starts,
no charging or discharging of battery).
The following procedure applies to measuring the battery
voltage in the no-load state (after at least two hours):
–With the battery installed measure the voltage be-
tween the terminals (ignition switched off).

02-7 Body
Airbag units: Visual inspection
Inspecting operation of airbag unit
When the ignition is switched on the airbag warning lamp
K75 lights up for approximately 4 seconds. Should the
warning lamp flash again for a further 12 seconds this is
an indication that the front passenger airbag or the side
airbag unit on the front passenger is electronically locked
(valid for vehicles which do not have an airbag switch-off
function).
The warning lamp will go out after 4 seconds for vehicles
which are fitted with an airbag switch-off function and
switching off of the front passenger airbag will be sig-
nalled by the warning lamp „AIRBAG OFF“ in the middle
of the dash panel.
♦If warning lamp K75 does not go out after 4 seconds
and lights up continously there is a fault.
♦If the warning lamp goes out and then lights up again
the control unit is not coded, the wrong control unit has
been fitted or there is a fault.
♦If the airbag warning light K75 flashes constantly, it is
then necessary to replace the airbag control unit J234.
If the warning light indicates a fault, the fault must be
rectified (repair measure) Body Work; Rep. Gr. 01.
Inspecting airbag for external damage
Driver and front passenger airbag units
The logo „AIRBAG“ on the padded boss of the steering
wheel (driver's side) and on the right side of the dash pan-
el (passenger side) indicates that an airbag is fitted.
–Carry out a visual inspection of the padded boss of the
steering wheel -1- and surface of the dash panel -2-
on the front passenger side for external damage.
–Undertake a visual inspection of the front seats to de-
termine any damage (valid for vehicles with side air-
bags).
♦Only use original seat upholstery approved for side
airbags.
♦The use of commercially available protective seat cov-
ers is prohibited as this impairs the operation of the
side airbags.
♦Replace all harpoon clips with new original parts.
♦In the event of damage to the upholstery - tears, burn
holes etc. - in the area of the side airbag always re-
place the upholstery with a new original part for safety
reasons.

Do not affix any stickers or cover over the padded boss of
the steering wheel -1- and the foam-lined surface of the
airbag unit on the front passenger side -2- or do not carry
out any modifications to these parts. These parts must
only be cleaned with a dry and slightly moistened cloth.
Inspect key switch for deactivation of
front passenger airbag
–Switch off ignition.
–Turn the key switch for deactivation of front passenger
airbag to the position „OFF“.
When the ignition is switched on the airbag warning lamp
must light up in the front interior light.
–Switch off ignition.
–Turn the key switch for deactivation of front passenger
airbag to the position „ON“.
After the ignition and the front passenger airbag is
switched on, the airbag warning light in the front interior
light must no longer light up after approx. 3 seconds.
Key switch for deactivation of front passenger airbag
must only be turned when ignition is switched off. If the
position of the switch is changed, the airbag control unit
can evaluate a fault; the individual contacts in the switch
make contact during different time intervals and subse-
quently the warning lamp lights up in the dash panel in-
sert (there is no risk of airbag activation).
Check underbody protection and body
paintwork for damage
The inspection of the underbody sealant and paintwork
should cover the following points:
1) undamaged layer of PVC Plastisol
–Vehicle floor
–Wings and wheel housings
–Sills
2) undamaged paintwork
–all body joints
–surround of windscreen
–surround of rear window
–flange of inner surfaces of engine hood
–horizontal and vertical painted surfaces
–Connection of the roof in the area of the luggage com-
partment lid
It is essential to rectify any defects found!
