wiring VOLKSWAGEN CC 2008 Owners Manual

The engine coolant system is under pressure when the en-
gine is hot. Never unscrew the coolant expansion tank cap
when the engine is hot. Hot coolant can spray out and cause
severe burns and other serious injuries.
– Turn the cap slowly and very carefully in a counterclock-
wise direction while applying light downward pressure on the
top of the cap.
– Always protect your face, hands, and arms from hot escap-
ing coolant or steam by covering the cap with a large, thick
rag.
Never spill fluids on the engine or exhaust system when re-
filling. Spilling fluids onto hot parts of the engine or exhaust
system can cause a fire.
WARNING
High voltage systems in the engine compartment can cause
electrical shocks or even electrocution, severe burns, other se-
rious injuries, and even death!
Never short-circuit the electrical system. Be especially care-
ful when using jumper cables. The vehicle's battery could ex-
plode!
To reduce the risk of electrical shock and personal injury
while the engine is running or being started:
– Never touch ignition cables. Never touch other compo-
nents of the high voltage electronic ignition system.
– Never touch the wiring of the HID – High Intensity Dis-
charge (Xenon) headlights.
Read and heed the important information and warnings on
cleaning the engine compartment ⇒  Cleaning the engine com-
partment.

WARNING
Operating fluids and some materials in the engine compartment
can catch fire easily, causing burns and other serious personal
injuries!
Never smoke near the engine compartment.
Never work next to open flames or sparks.
Never pour or spill operating fluids or other flammable liq-
uids on the engine. These fluids can ignite on hot engine parts
and cause injuries.
If work on the fuel system or the electrical system is neces-
sary:
– Always disconnect the 12 Volt vehicle battery. Make sure
the vehicle is unlocked when you disconnect the battery, or
the alarm will go off. Never touch the electrical wiring of the
ignition system.
– Never work near heaters, water heaters, or other open
flames.
Always have a functional, approved fire extinguisher nearby.
NOTICE
When changing or topping off fluids, make sure that you pour
the fluids into the correct reservoirs. Adding the wrong type of
operating fluids will cause serious malfunctions and engine
damage.
Fluid leaks and spills are harmful to the environment. Regularly
check the ground underneath your vehicle for this reason. If you find
spots of oil or other fluids, have your vehicle checked by your author-
ized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Dispose of leaked operating fluids properly.
Display

Mobile or cellular telephones send and receive radio waves, some-
times called “radiofrequency energy” (RF energy), both when they are
being used and when they are in standby mode. Current scientific
literature indicates that radio waves that exceed a certain level can
have effects on the human body. Limits and guidelines have been
established by governmental authorities and international committees
in an effort to keep the electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones
at levels that will not cause health problems. However, there is no
scientifically based proof that wireless phones are absolutely safe.
Therefore, some experts recommend a precautionary approach re-
garding the use of mobile phones by taking measures that lower the
personal exposure to electromagnetic fields. When using a mobile
telephone inside a motor vehicle without a proper connection to an
integrated vehicle telephone antenna, the personal exposure to elec-
tromagnetic fields will be higher than when using the mobile tele-
phone while properly connected to an integrated or other outside ve-
hicle telephone antenna.
Your vehicle may be equipped with an optional hands-free system
that will permit many of the features of compatible Bluetooth® enabled
mobile telephones to be used for greater convenience and is con-
sistent with the laws of an increasing number of states and localities
that prohibit the use of mobile telephones without some kind of
hands-free device.
The hands-free system in your vehicle can be used with certain mo-
bile phones that are connected by wire and hardware connector or via
compatible Bluetooth® enabled phones with a cradle that is designed
to fit your mobile telephone.The special cradle offers several ad-
vantages: The phone cradle must be safely secured to the base plate.
Your phone is firmly attached to the instrument panel and is within
reach at all times. Placing the phone in its cradle permits it to be
charged, but more importantly connects the mobile phone to the vehi-
cle's outside antenna. A mobile telephone that is properly connected
to the integrated or other outside vehicle telephone antenna will lower
the personal exposure to electromagnetic fields. You should also ex-
perience a better quality of service. Although a mobile telephone can
be used inside your vehicle without a cradle, the phone will not be
securely attached to the vehicle, will not be charged through the cra-
dle wiring, and more importantly will not be connected to the vehicle's
integrated telephone antenna. The mobile phone will also not be re-

Preparations
Set the electronic parking brake. If the electronic parking brake
cannot be set, you must find another way to help prevent the vehicle
from moving.

pinched or damaged.
Emergency release for the selector lever (Version B)
Push the release lever ⇒ fig. 183 B in the direction of the arrow and
hold it in this position.
Press the release button in the selector lever handle and shift the
