NOTICE
In order to prevent damage to the electrical system, never connect equipment that supplies electric
power, such as solar panels or battery chargers for charging the 12-volt battery, to the 12-volt
socket.
Use only electrical devices that have been approved in accordance with current guidelines
concerning electromagnetic compatibility.
In order to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuations, always switch off any electrical devices before

Location of the 12-volt vehicle battery
The 12-volt vehicle battery is located in the engine compartment.
Explanation of the warnings on the 12-volt vehicle battery
Always wear eye protection!Electrolyte is very corrosive and caustic. Always wear
protective gloves and eye protection!Fire, sparks, naked lights and smoking are prohibited!
A highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the 12-volt vehicle battery is charging!
Always keep children away from electrolyte and the 12-volt vehicle battery!Always
observe the owner's manual!

WARNING
Any work on the 12-volt vehicle battery and the electrical system can cause serious chemical burns,
fire or electric shocks. Always read and observe the following warnings and safety information
before carrying out any kind of work:

Charging, replacing, disconnecting and connecting the 12-volt vehicle battery
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
If you suspect that the 12-volt vehicle battery is damaged or faulty, go to a qualified workshop and
have the 12-volt vehicle battery checked.
Charging the 12-volt vehicle battery
The 12-volt vehicle battery should be charged by a qualified workshop, as the technology used in
factory-fitted 12-volt vehicle batteries requires voltage-limited charging
recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Replacing the 12-volt vehicle battery
The 12-volt vehicle battery has been developed to suit the conditions of its installation location and
has special safety features. If a 12-volt vehicle battery has to be replaced, find out about the
electromagnetic compatibility, size and necessary maintenance, power and safety requirements for
the new 12-volt vehicle battery at a Volkswagen dealership before purchase. The ventilation opening
of the vehicle battery must always be on the negative terminal side: the ventilation opening on the
positive terminal side must always be sealed.
Only maintenance-free vehicle batteries compliant with the standards TL 825 06 and VW 7 50 73
should be used. These standards must be dated October 2014 or later.
Always have the 12-volt vehicle battery replaced by a qualified workshop, as the vehicle electronics
must be adapted as part of the replacement process. Only qualified workshops have the technology
required to carry out this adjustment correctly. Volkswagen recommends that the 12-volt vehicle
battery is replaced by a Volkswagen dealership.
Disconnecting the 12-volt vehicle battery
Please observe the following if the 12-volt vehicle battery has to be disconnected from the electrical
system in the vehicle:

Various indicator lamps may light up after the 12-volt vehicle battery has been connected and the
ignition is switched on. They will go out when you drive a short distance at a speed of approximately
15 20 km/h (10 12 mph). If the indicator lamps remain lit up, the vehicle should be checked by a
qualified workshop.

Automatic switch-off for electrical consumers
The intelligent vehicle electrical system management function automatically implements a range of
measures to prevent the 12-volt vehicle battery from discharging under high loads:


power supply to the 12-volt socket and the cigarette lighter may be interrupted temporarily
while the engine is being started.
The vehicle electrics management system cannot always prevent the 12-volt vehicle battery from
being discharged, for example if the ignition is left on over a long period with the engine off or the
side lights or parking lights are left on over a long period of time.
