This
lamp flashes for a few seconds as a
functional check when ignition is switched
on.
If the lamp does not go out afterwards or
flashes
when driving, either the coolant
temperature is too high orthe coolant level1'
too low:
Stop,
switch
engine
off and check
level.
Add coolant if necessary.
11 Only on vehicles
with
automatic coolant level monitor(see page 102).
Attention
• Be
careful
when
opening the
coolant
expansion
tank!
When
the
engine
is hot the cooling
sys
tem is
under
pressure -
Danger
of scalding!
Therefore
let
engine
cool
down
before
unscrewing
the cap.
• Do not
touch
the fan. The fan can
switch
on suddenly -
even
when
ignition
is
switched
off.
For
further details see pages 102 and 103.
If the coolant level is in order the trouble
may be due to failure of the radiator fan.
Check
radiator fan fuse and renew if
necessary-seepage
122.
If the warning lamp does not go out al
though coolant level and fan fuse are in order, do not
drive
on - call in expert as
sistance.
If the trouble is only caused by the fan and
assuming
coolant level is in order and tem perature warning lamp is out - one can drive
on to the nearest Volkswagen dealer. In
order to make good use of the air stream for
cooling,
do not let engine idle or drive very
slowly.

The
warning lamp flashes when ignition is
switched
on. the lamp must go out when
engine
has started.
If the warning lamp does not go out or
flashes
when driving - a buzzer also sounds
at engine speeds above 2000 rpm - stop,
switch
engine
off, check oil level and if
necessary,
add oil - see page 97.
If the lamp comes on although the oil level
is
in order, do not
drive
on. Do not even
run the engine at idling speed-call in expert
assistance.
Note
The oil pressure
warning
lamp
is not an oil
level
indicator.
The oil
level
should
therefore
be checked at reg
ular
intervals,
preferably
every
time
the

Brake
system «^
The
warning lamp comes on when
• the handbrake is on
• the brake fluid level is too low
The
ignition must be switched on.
Attention
If the
lamp
does not go out
when
handbrake
is released or comes
on
when
driving, the
fluid
level
in
the reservoir is too low. If an in crease in
pedal
free
travel
is no
ticed
at the same
time,
one of the
brake
circuits may
have
failed.
You can
drive
on
carefully
to the
nearest
Volkswagen
dealer
but
allow
for
higher
pedal
pressures and longer
braking
distances on
the way.
The
warning lamp comes on when high
beams
are on or when the headlight flasher
is
used.

When
the side lights are on, a warning lamp lights up in the switch.

* %\_)
With the electrical range control the
head
light settings can be matched exactly to the
load
condition of vehicle. This prevents on
coming traffic from being
dazzled
more than
is
unavoidable. At the same time the correct headlight beam setting provides the best
possible
visibility for the driver.
The
headlights can only be regulated
with
the dipped headlights switched on.
To
lower the beams,
turn
knurled disc from
the
basic
position (-) downwards.
Note
The
basic
headlight setting (only possible
with
headlight adjusting appliance) must al

be done

tion (-) - see page 128
also.
On
vehicles for some export countries when
the side lights are switched on
with
the igni
tion switched on, the dipped headlights also
come
on
with
reduced intensity.

DRIVING
TIPS
• Where possible make
full
use of the maximum permissible drawbar weight on
call
of the towing bracket - see page 151 -
cut do not exceed it.
• While observing the permissible trailer
and
drawbar weight, distribute the load in
the trailer so
that
heavy objects are as near
as
possible to the axle. The objects must
a
so be secured so
that
they cannot slip
aoout.
• Check the
tyre
pressures on the towing
/ehicle
and the trailer.
• The headlight settings, should be
:hecked
with
trailer attached before mov- ng off and adjusted as necessary.
On
vehicles
with
headlight beam control it
is
only necessary to
turn
the knurled disc in
:ash
in the appropriate direction.
Driving
instructions
To
obtain the best possible handling of ve
hicle
and trailer, the following should be
noted:
• Try to avoid driving
with
an unladen ve
hicle
and a loaded trailer. If this cannot be
avoided,
only drive slowly to allow for the unfavourable weight distribution.
• As driving stability of vehicle and trailer
decreases
when the speed increases do not
drive at the maximum permissible top
speed
in unfavourable road, weather or
wind conditions - particularly when going downhill. In any
case
the speed must be reduced im
mediately the trailer shows the slightest
sign
of snaking. On no account try to stop
the snaking by accelerating.
• For safety reasons one should not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph). This also
applies
in countries where higher speeds
are permitted. • Always brake in good time. If the trailer
has
an overrun brake, apply the brakes gen
tly at
first
then firmly. This will avoid the
jerk
ing caused by the trailer wheels locking.
Change
down before going down a steep hill so
that
the engine can act as a brake.
• When a long climb in a low gear
with
ex tremely high engine revs must be nego
tiated at exceptionally high ambient temperatures the coolant temperature gauge must be observed. When the gauge needle
moves
to the
>~zza'
e~z of :ne
scale,
the road speed must be reduced immediately. If nevertheless ~g amp flashes,
stop immediately and si ow the engine to
cool
off at idling speed for several minutes.
• The cooling effect of the radiator fan
can
not be increased by changing down, be
cause
the speec of t~e
~a~
s ~o! dependent
on the engine
speed.
One should therefore not change down even when towing a
trailer as long as :-e e-g -e zar cope with out the vehicle speed dropping too much.
