GENERAL
MAINTENANCE

Winter
driving
A/inter weather
is
particularly hard
on the

cattery. Furthermore at low temperatures
it

has
only a part
of
the capacity
it
has
at
nor mal temperatures.
We
recommend there-
-'ore
that
the battery should be checked pre
ferably
by a
Volkswagen dealer before
the

onset
of
cold weather
and
charged
if
"ecessary.
At
the same time,
if
necessary,
the terminals will
be
cleaned
and
special
grease
applied. This will
not
only result
in
quicker, more reliable starting but will help
:o prolong the life
of
the battery.

If the
vehicle
is not
driven
for
sev

eral
weeks
when
temperatures
are

very
low, the
battery
should
be

taken
out
and
stored
in a
frost-free
room, so
that
it
cannot
freeze
up and
become damaged.

Attention
Store
the
battery
out of
reach
of

children.

To
take battery out,
first
disconnect the two
cables
(see previous page) and then remove
-etainer.
Charging
battery

When
charging
with
a low current (e.g.
with

a
small charger) the battery cables need not normally be taken off. The instructions from
the charger manufacturer must however be
noted.

Before
Quick charging,
that
is
charging

with
a
high current, both battery cables must be disconnected
-
see previous page.

The
following information must be noted:
• When charging
the
battery
do not re
move
caps.

•
A
discharged battery can freeze
at - 10
degrees
C. It is
essential
to
thaw
out a

frozen battery before
it is
given
a
quick
charge
otherwise
it
may explode!
• The mains cable
of the
charger should not be connected until after the clips
of
the

charger
have been properly secured
to the

battery terminals:

Red
=
plus
(or
positive)

Black
=
minus
(or
negative)
• Reconnect cables correctly after charg ing battery.
Attention

The
gas
given
off
during
the

charging process
is
highly
in

flammable
so
keep
sources
of
ignition
(naked
flames,
burning

cigarettes
etc.)
well
away
from

the
battery.

Renewing
a battery If the
battery has
to be
renewed,
the
new
battery must have the same capacity, volt

age
(12 Volts), current capacity and shape.

Volkswagen
dealers have
a
range
of
suit

able
batteries.
Because
of the
problem
of
dis

posing
of
the
old
battery
the re

newal
of
a
battery
should
preferably

be
done
by a
Volkswagen
dealer.

Batteries
contain,
amongst
other
things,
sulphuric
acid
and
lead
and

must
on no
account
be put
with
nor

mal
household
waste.

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.

tery must be approximately the same as

that
of the
flat

• The jumper cables must be heav enough to carry the load. Note cable manu
facturer's data.
