fuse VOLKSWAGEN CC 2011 Owners Manual

Recommended cleaners
For the warmer months, Windscreen Clear SummerG 052 184 A1
or equivalent. Mixing ratio 1:100 (1 part concentrate to 100 parts wa-
ter) in the windshield washer reservoir.
All-season Windscreen ClearG 052 164 A2 or equivalent. Mixing
ratio in winter to 0 °F (-18 °C) about 1:2 (1 part concentrate to 2 parts
water), otherwise, mixing ratio 1:4 in the windshield washer reservoir.
Filling capacity
The windshield washer fluid reservoir holds about 3.1 qts. (3 liters); in
vehicles with a headlight cleaning system about 6.3 qts. (6 liters).
WARNING
Never mix antifreeze or similar additives into the windshield
washer reservoir. This could produce an oily film on the wind-
shield, which would considerably reduce visibility.
Use clear water with a cleaning solution recommended by
Volkswagen.
If necessary, blend with a suitable windshield washer fluid
antifreeze agent.
NOTICE
Never mix cleaning solutions recommended by Volkswagen
with other cleaning agents. If you do, this could cause sedi-
ments or other by-products that can clog the windshield washer
nozzles.
When refilling, do not confuse one type of operating liquid
with another! Otherwise serious malfunctions and engine dam-
age can occur!

Air conditioner does not work
The air conditioner may not switch on for one of the following rea-
sons:
The engine is not running.
The fan is switched off.
The air conditioner fuse has blown.
The outside air temperature is colder than about +38 °F (+3 °C).
The air conditioner compressor has been temporarily switched off
due to excessive engine coolant temperature.
There is another malfunction in the vehicle. Have the air condition-
er checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility.
Special considerations
When it is very hot and humid outside, water condensation can drip
from the air conditioner evaporator and form a puddle under the vehi-
cle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak.
The climate control system adjusts the passenger compartment
temperature as fast as possible considering the outside temperature.
Due to residual moisture in the air conditioner, the windshield
may fog up after the engine is started. Switch on the windshield de-
froster to help evaporate the condensation as quickly as possible.
The air coming out of the vents flows through the passenger
compartment and through the vents under the rear window. Do not
cover these slots with clothing or other things.

Fuses

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.
