Screw in the wheel bolts clockwise and tighten them slightly using
the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle.
Lower the vehicle with the jack.
Use the lug wrench to firmly tighten all wheel bolts (turn clockwise)
⇒ . Do not tighten them in sequence! Tighten any wheel bolt to
begin, then tighten the wheel bolt diagonally opposite the first bolt,
and so forth.
Install the wheel bolt caps, center wheel hubcap, or wheel cover, if
any ⇒  Wheel trim.
WARNING
Wheel bolts that are tightened or installed improperly can come
loose, causing loss of vehicle control, a crash, and serious per-
sonal injury.
Always keep wheel bolts and threads in the wheel hub clean
and free of oil and grease. The wheel bolts must turn easily and
must be tightened with the right torque.
Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle only to
turn the wheel bolts when they are loose, never to loosen them
or tighten them firmly.
WARNING
Improper use of a compact spare wheel can cause loss of vehi-
cle control, a crash or other accident, and serious personal in-
jury.
Never use a compact spare wheel if it is damaged or worn
down to the wear indicators.
Never drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) with a compact
spare wheel. Avoid full-throttle acceleration, heavy braking, and
fast cornering!
Never drive more than 125 miles (200 km) with a compact
spare wheel that is installed on the front axle (drive axle).
Replace the compact spare with a normal wheel and tire as
soon as possible. Compact spare tires are designed for brief
use only.

WARNING
Using the wrong fuse, using a blown fuse that has been re-
paired, and using metal objects in place of fuses to complete
the electrical connection in the circuit can cause fires and seri-
ous personal injury.
Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amp rating.
Replace a blown fuse only with a fuse of the same amperage
(same color and same imprint) and same overall size.
Never repair fuses.
Never replace fuses with a metal strip, a paper clip, or a simi-
lar object.
NOTICE
To help prevent damage to the electrical system, switch off all
lights and accessories, switch off the ignition, and remove the
key from the ignition switch before replacing a fuse.
If a fuse is replaced with a fuse with higher amperage, this can
also cause damage at different locations in the electrical system.
Open fuse boxes must be protected from dirt and moisture.
Dirt and moisture in fuse boxes can cause damage to the electri-
cal system.

Replacing light bulbs

WARNING
Improper replacement of burned out headlights and other light
bulbs can cause serious personal injury.
Stop! Always read and heed the WARNINGS before doing any
work in the engine compartment ⇒  Working in the engine com-
partment. The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a
potentially dangerous area, and work in this area can lead to
serious personal injury.
HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights get power
from a high voltage source that can cause severe personal inju-
ry and even death if handled improperly.
H7 bulbs and HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) head-
lights are under high pressure and can explode if handled im-
properly.
Always let a burned out light bulb cool down before replacing
it.
Never replace a light bulb unless you are familiar with all of
the necessary procedures. In particular, never remove a head-
light unless you know exactly how to carry out the job and have
the correct tools and light bulbs.
If you are uncertain about what to do, have the work per-
formed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer, an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility, or another qualified workshop.
Serious personal injury may result from improperly performed
work.
We strongly recommend that you always have HID – High In-
tensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights and H7 bulbs replaced by
a qualified technician.
Do not touch the glass of light bulbs with your bare hands.
Fingerprints left on the bulb evaporate due to the heat when the
bulb is switched on and cause the reflector to “cloud.”
There are sharp edges on and around the headlight housing
in the engine compartment and the rear light housing. Wear
hand protection if you replace bulbs.

NOTICE
After replacing a headlight bulb or other light bulb, always make
sure that the rubber covers or plastic caps have been properly
and securely reinstalled to help prevent water from getting into
the electrical connections and headlight housing and damaging
the electrical system.
