x
Damage to the v ehicle or to the high-
voltage battery could lead to a leak of
toxic gases or fluids, either immediately
or at a later time. These emitted gases
could also potentially cause a fire. Do
not inhale these gases.
x Never touch the fluids that leak from the
high-voltage battery.
x In the event of a fire, move away from
the hazard area and call the fire service.
x Always inform any attending fire and
emergency services that the vehicle is
fitted with a high-voltage battery. WARNING
Unqualified work on the high-voltage sys-
tem and on high-
voltage components can
lead to malfunctions, accidents and inju-
ries.
x Any work on the high-voltage system
must be carried out only by authorised
qualified workshops with corresponding
approval for this work. NOTICE
After an accident, or after the underside of
the v
ehicle has struck an obstacle, the high-
voltage battery must be checked by appropri-
ately qualified and trained experts. Warning signs for the high-
v

oltage system Please refer to , and at the start
of the chapter on page 273.
Where can warning signs be located?
The f

ollowing components may be marked
with the illustrated warning signs

WARNING
Driving when the charge level of the high-
v oltage battery is too low can lead to the
vehicle breaking down when in traffic, and
can lead to accidents and serious injuries. The high-voltage battery can only be
charged at charging stations that meet
the requirements of the corresponding coun-
try and at least the f

ollowing standards:

oped. This also applies to engine oils in the
case of combustion engines. F or this reason,
service fluids and consumables should be re-
placed at a qualified workshop. Volkswagen
dealerships are kept up to date on all
changes. WARNING
Unsuitable service fluids and consumables,
and the incorrect use of these fluids and
consumables, can cause accidents, serious
injuries, burns or poisoning.
x Service fluids must be kept in their origi-
nal sealed container.
x Ne

ver store service fluids in empty food
containers, bottles or any other non-
original containers as people finding
these containers could drink them.
x Keep children away from all service flu-
ids and consumables.
x Always read and follow the information
and warnings on the service fluid pack-
aging.
x When using products that give off harm-
ful fumes, always work outdoors or in
a well-ventilated area. NOTICE
x Only use suitable service fluids f
or refilling.
Never use the wrong service fluid. Failure
to observe this warning can result in seri-
ous malfunctions and engine damage. Leaking service fluids can pollute the
en

vironment. Spilt service fluids must
be collected in suitable containers and dis-
posed of properly and in an environmentally
responsible way. Washer fluid
Fig. 178
In the bonnet space: cap of washer
fluid reserv
oir.
The washer fluid level should be checked reg-
ularly and refilled as necessary.
There is a strainer in the filler throat of the
washer fluid reservoir. The strainer keeps
large dirt particles away from the washer jets
when refilling. The strainer should only be re-
moved for cleaning. If the strainer is dam-
aged or is not present when refilling, dirt par-
ticles can enter the system and block the
washer jets.

WARNING
Insufficient anti-freeze in the cooling sys-
tem of the v ehicle can cause the electric
drive to break down and thereby cause se-
rious injuries.
x The amount of correct coolant additive
used must be sufficient for the lowest
ambient temperature that you expect
the vehicle to be exposed to.
x Coolant can freeze at extremely cold
outside temperatures, causing the vehi-
cle to break down. Vehicle occupants
with inadequate winter clothing could
then freeze to death as the heating will
also no longer function. NOTICE
Never mix genuine coolant additives with
other coolants that ha
ve not been approved
by Volkswagen.
x If the liquid in the coolant expansion tank
is not pink (colouring results from mixing
the purple coolant additive with distilled
water) but for example brown instead of
purple, the suitable coolant has been
mixed with an unsuitable coolant additive.
The coolant must be changed as soon as
possible if this is the case. Failure to ob-
serve this warning can result in serious
malfunctions or damage to the electric
drive and cooling system. Coolant and coolant additives can pol-
lute the en

vironment. Spilt service flu-
ids must be collected and disposed of proper-
ly and with respect for the environment. Checking the coolant level
and refilling coolant

Preparations
1. Park the vehicle on a firm and level sur- face.
2. Allow the electric drive to cool down

Brake fluid specification
V
olkswagen has developed a brake fluid that
has been optimised for the brake system in
the vehicle. To ensure the best possible oper-
ation of the brake system, Volkswagen ex-
pressly recommends the use of brake fluid
compliant with VW standard 501 14.
Before using a particular brake fluid, check
that the specifications printed on the con-
tainer correspond to the vehicle require-
ments.
Brake fluid that is compliant with VW stand-
ard 501 14 is available from Volkswagen
dealerships.
If this brake fluid is not available and it is
necessary to use another high-quality brake
fluid instead, brake fluid that is compliant
with DIN ISO 4925 or US standard
FMVSS 116 DOT 4 CLASS 6 can be used.
Not all brake fluids that are compliant with
DIN ISO 4925 or US standard FMVSS 116
DOT 4 CLASS 6 have the same chemical com-
position. Some of these brake fluids may con-
tain chemicals that can damage or destroy
brake system components over time.
Volkswagen therefore recommends the use
of brake fluid that is compliant with
VW standard 501 14 to ensure sustained op-
timal operation of the brake system.
Brake fluid that is compliant with VW stand-
ard 501 14 fulfils the requirements of
DIN ISO 4925 or US standard
FMVSS 116 DOT 4 CLASS 6.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level must always be between
the MIN and MAX markings on the brake fluid
reservoir

Tread depth
Most driving situations require the highest
possible tread depth. All tyres should ha
ve an
even tread depth on at least one axle. This is
especially true in wet or wintry road condi-
tions.
In most countries, the legally permissible
minimum tread depth is reached at 1.6 mm
(1/16 in) residual tread - measured in the
tread grooves next to the wear indicators
(observe deviating country-specific legal reg-
ulations). The tyres should have the same
tread depth, at the minimum on each axle

Changing a wheel
Introduction to the topic
You should carry out a wheel change yourself
only when the v
ehicle is parked safely, you
are familiar with the safety procedures and
have access to the correct equipment. Some
models are delivered from the factory with-
out a jack or box spanner. If this is the case,
wheels should be changed by a qualified
workshop.
The jack supplied with the vehicle is only de-
signed for changing a wheel when one vehi-
cle tyre is damaged and has to be replaced. If
both tyres on one side of the vehicle, both
tyres on one axle, or all tyres are damaged,
seek expert assistance. WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, espe-
cially when carried out at the side of a road.
Please note the f

ollowing steps in order to
reduce the risk of serious injuries:
x Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and
when safe to do so. Park the vehicle at
a safe distance from moving traffic in
order to carry out the wheel change.
x All passengers and children in particular
must be at a safe distance and away
from the area of work during the wheel
change.
x Switch on the hazard warning lights to
warn other road users.
x Check that the surface the vehicle is
parked on is level and firm. If necessary,
use a large, strong board or similar sup-
port for the jack.
x Only change the wheel yourself when
you feel confident with carrying out the
procedure. If not, seek expert assistance.
x Always use suitable and undamaged
tools to change the wheel.
x Always switch off the electric drive via
the ignition and move the selector lever to the P position to reduce the risk of
unintended v

ehicle movement.
x Switch on the electronic parking brake.
x The wheel bolt tightening torque should
be checked with a correctly functioning
torque wrench immediately after chang-
ing a wheel.
x In the case of vehicles with a Tyre Pres-
sure Loss Indicator, the system must be
re-synchronised immediately after
a wheel change
