The factory-fitted wiper blades are coated with graphite. The graphite coating ensures that the
wiper blade moves quietly over the window. If the graphite coating is damaged, the wiper will make
a louder noise when wiping over the window.
Check the condition of the wiper blades on a regular basis. Rubbing wiper blades should be replaced
if damaged or cleaned if dirty

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
These lamps use LED technology. The LEDs cannot be replaced by customers. If some LEDs fail, this
may be an indication that more elements are on the point of failure. In this case, have the lights
checked and renewed if necessary at a qualified workshop.

Fuses in the engine compartment

Fuse tables for fuses in the engine compartment
Changing a blown fuse
At the time of publication we are unable to provide an complete overview of the locations of the
fuses for the electrical consumers. This is because the vehicle is under constant development,
because fuses are assigned differently according to the vehicle equipment level and because several
electrical consumers may use a single fuse. You can obtain more information about the fuse
assignment from a Volkswagen dealership.
Several electrical consumers can share a single fuse. Conversely, a single consumer could have more
than one fuse.
Therefore fuses should only be replaced when the cause of the fault has been rectified. If a new fuse
blows shortly after fitting, have the electrical system checked by a qualified workshop.

WARNING
High voltages in the electrical system can cause electric shocks, serious burns and death.



WARNING
Using unsuitable or repaired fuses and bridging an electrical circuit without fuses can cause a fire
and serious injuries.

NOTICE
When pushing the vehicle by hand, do not press on the tail light clusters, the side spoilers on the
rear window, the rear spoiler or large panels. This could damage the vehicle and the rear spoiler
could become detached.

NOTICE
Remove and install the cover and the towing eye carefully so as to avoid damage to the vehicle, e.g.
the paintwork.
Notes on tow-starting and towing
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
It is still possible to activate the turn signals in a vehicle that is being towed, even if the hazard
warning lights are switched on. To do this, operate the turn signal lever in the required direction
while the ignition is switched on. The hazard warning lights will not flash while the turn signal is
being used. The hazard warning lights will start flashing again automatically as soon as the turn
signal lever is moved back to the neutral position.
When should your vehicle not be tow-started or towed?

A symbol in the instrument cluster display Fig. 184indicates if the bonnet is open or is not closed
properly.
Do not drive on! If necessary, lift the bonnet and then close it again.
This symbol is also visible when the ignition is switched off and will go out a few seconds after the
vehicle has been locked when all doors are closed.

WARNING
Failure to observe warnings can cause your vehicle to break down in traffic, which can lead to
accidents and serious injuries.

The symbol can differ depending on the version of the instrument cluster.
Service fluids and consumables
All service fluids and consumables, e.g. tyres, coolant and vehicle batteries, are being constantly
developed. The same applies to toothed belts, engine oils and spark plugs for combustion engines,
for example. For this reason, service fluids and consumables should be replaced at a qualified
workshop. Volkswagen dealerships always have the latest information about any changes.

WARNING
Unsuitable service fluids and consumables, and the incorrect use of these fluids and consumables,
can cause accidents, serious injuries, burns or poisoning.
