Contents of the vehicle tool kit ⇒ fig. 179
(1) Screwdriver with a hexagonal socket in the handle for removing or inserting previously
loosened wheel bolts. The screwdriver blade is reversible. The screwdriver may be stored
under the lug wrench.
(2) Adapter for anti-theft wheel bolts. Volkswagen recommends that you always carry the adapter
for the wheel bolts in the vehicle along with the vehicle tool kit. The code number of the wheel
bolt lock is imprinted on the front of the adapter. If lost, a replacement adapter can be ordered
using this number. Record the code number of the wheel bolt lock and store it separate from
the vehicle.
(3) Screw-in towing eye.
(4) Hubcap puller clips for removing hubcaps, wheel covers, or wheel bolt caps.
(5) Jack. Before putting the jack back in the tool box, make sure to completely crank the jack down
to its original position. The crank must then be locked against the side of the jack; otherwise,
the jack will not fit and cannot be securely stowed.
