engine
can only be started when
selec-
pr

"N"
or

Selecting
a driving range When the vehicle is stationary and
the engine is running always de
press
the foot brake when selecting
i gear.
When the vehicle is stationary do
•ot depress the accelerator when
•electing a gear. f the lever is moved accidentally nto "IM" when driving, release ac
celerator and let the engine speed
trop to idling before selecting a for
ward
gear again.

•
Attention
•
When the engine is running it
is
necessary to hold the vehicle

with
the foot brake in all gears.
Because
with
an automatic gear
box the transfer of power is not
fully interrupted even at idling

speed
- and the vehicle tends to
"creep".
When the vehicle is stationary
and a gear is engaged, the

throttle
must not be opened inad

vertently
on any account (for in

stance
by hand from the engine
compartment). Otherwise the vehicle
will
move immediately -
even if the handbrake has been
fully applied.
Before working on the vehicle

with
the engine running, apply
the handbrake and put the selec
tor lever in "P".
Moving off

Select
driving
range
(R, D, 3, 2, 1).
Wait

until
the gearbox has
shifted
and the

power
flow
is made to the
driving

wheels
(light
selection
jerk
perceptible).

Then
one can accelerate.

Stopping

To
stop
vehicle
temporarily
such
as at traffic
lights,
it is only
necessary
to
apply
the

brakes.
It is not
necessary
to
move
selector

lever
to
"N".
The
engine
should
however

only
be running at idling
speed.
Parking

On
level
ground all you
need
do is
engage

the
parking
lock.
On a gradient the
hand
brake
should
be
applied
firmly first
and
then

the
parking
lock
engaged.
This
will
ensure

that the
locking
mechanism
is not too
heav
ily
loaded
and
makes
the
lock
easier
to
dis

engage.

Tow starting
On
vehicles
with
automatic
gearbox
the en

gine
cannot
be started by towing or
pushing

the
vehicle.
See
page
133.

When
the battery is flat, the
engine
can be
started
from the battery of another
vehicle

by
using
jumper
cables.
See
"Emergency

starting",
page
130.
Towing If the
vehicle
has to be towed at any time,

you
must

DO-IT-YOURSELF
• The radios from the Genuine Volks wagen Accessory Programme11 are similar
to those used in the factory and ensure
trouble-free installation. These sets are in keeping
with
the advanced technology and
well-planned easy-to-operate design. In
Germany
there is also an Exchange Service
for these radios so
that
even after years of
use
a set requiring repair can be exchanged

cheaply
for a completely reconditioned,

good-as-new
set by a Volkswagen dealer.
• Loudspeakers,
fitting
parts, aerials and
suppression
kits should also be taken from
the Genuine Volkswagen Accessory
Pro

gramme11. These parts have all been

specially
developed for each vehicle model. • When installing the aerial it is essential to
ensure
that
the hole provided by the factory
where the aerial enters the body is sealed
very carefully. In addition the aerial cable,
the connecting wires and the loudspeaker
wires must be routed so
that
they cannot
chafe,
rattle
or get tangled up
with
moving parts (e.g. pedals, steering, heating controls
etc.). Otherwise the operation of the
con

trols may be affected or vehicle safety im
paired.

In
cases
of doubt, exact information can be
obtained from Volkswagen dealers.

• Only
use
jumper cables
with
insulated
clips.

•
A
flat
battery can freeze
at
-10 degrees
C
and
if
a battery is frozen
it
must be thawed
out before connecting jumper
cables,
other
wise
it
could explode.
• There must
be no
contact between
the
vehicles,
otherwise current
can
flow
as

soon
as
the
plus terminals are connected.
•
The
flat
battery must
be
properly
con
nected
to the
electrical system.
• The engine
of
the boosting vehicle must be running.
•
The
jumper cables must only
be
con
nected as follows:
1. One end
of (+)
cable (usually red)
to the
(+)
terminal
of
the
flat
battery.

2.
Other end
of
the red cable
to the (+)
ter
minal
of
boosting battery.

3.
One end
of (-)
cable (usually black)
to the (-)
terminal
of
boosting battery.

4.
Other
end of
black cable
(X) to a
solid metal part bolted
to
the block
or to
cylinder
block itself.

Do
not
connect the cable
to
the
flat
battery
minus terminal. The sparks could ignite
the

explosive
gas flowing
out of the
battery.
Attention

•
The non-insulated parts of the
cable clips must not touch one
another on any account. Further more the jumper cable attached
to the
battery
positive terminal must not come into contact
with

electrically conductive vehicle parts - Short circuit danger!

•
Route the jumper cables so

that
they cannot come into
con

tact
with
rotating parts in the en gine compartment.

•
Do not stand
with
your face
over the
battery
- danger of acid
burns!

•
Keep sources of ignition (naked flames, burning
ciga
rettes
etc.)
well
away from the

battery
- Explosion danger!
• Start
the
engine
as
described
in the

"Starting engine" section.
•
If
the engine does not start
at
once, stop using starter after
10
seconds, wait about
half
a
minute and then
try
again.
• With engine running, disconnect cables in reverse sequence.
