orangeThe button cell (battery) in the remote control is weak. Replace the button cell.
Range
The remote control has a range of a few hundred metres when the button cell is fully charged.
Maintain a distanced of at least 2 metres between the remote control and the vehicle.
Avoid any obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle.
Hold the remote control with the aerial ⇒ Fig. 93  ① pointing vertically upwards.
Do not cover the aerial.
Adverse weather or a weak battery cell will significantly reduce the range.
Renewing the button cell in the remote control
The button cell in the remote control must be replaced if the indicator lamp does not light up.
Insert a suitable object, e.g. a screwdriver, in the recess on the side in the direction of the arrow
⇒ Fig. 93 .
Use the object to lever off the battery cover.
Slide the battery cover forwards slightly in the direction of the arrow.

Components with a high power consumption are switched off temporarily when the engine is
started.

The engine cannot be started with the starter button, for example, if the button cell in the vehicle
key is weak or flat. In this case, use the emergency start function ⇒ No valid vehicle key recognised .

When starting from cold, the engine may be a little noisy for the first few seconds. This is quite
normal, and no cause for concern.

At outside temperatures of less than +5°C (+41°F), fumes may be detected under a vehicle with a
diesel engine if the fuel-powered supplementary heater is switched on.
Switching off the engine
Bring the vehicle to a standstill ⇒ .
Park the vehicle ⇒ Parking .
Vehicles with ignition lock: turn the vehicle key to position ⇒ Fig. 99⓪  in the ignition lock.
Vehicles with a starter button: press the starter button briefly ⇒ Fig. 100 . If the engine cannot
be switched off, carry out the emergency switch-off procedure ⇒ Engine cannot be switched off .
Follow the instructions in the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster .
Ignition warning
In order to indicate an active ignition when leaving the vehicle, an acoustic warning signal sounds
when opening the driver door and corresponding warning messages appear on the display of the
instrument cluster.
Warning before leaving the vehicle
Vehicles with DSG dual clutch gearbox: if the selector lever is not in position P, an acoustic
warning signal will sound when the driver door is opened and the warning message Please move
selector lever to position P. will be shown on the instrument cluster display. In this way, a warning is
given that the vehicle could potentially roll away. When you leave the vehicle, the electronic parking
brake also switches on to prevent the vehicle rolling away.

WARNING
Never switch off the engine while the vehicle is in motion. This can lead to a loss of vehicle control,
accidents and serious injuries.

The trailer can become detached from the towing vehicle if the towing bracket is unsuitable or
incorrectly fitted. This can cause serious accidents and fatal injuries.

Use only towing brackets which have been approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle type.

emergency, you have to use petrol with an octane number lower than the recommended number,
drive at medium engine speeds and avoid high engine loading. Avoid high engine speeds and heavy
engine loads. Refuel with petrol with the correct octane number as soon as possible.
Diesel
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Fill vehicles with a diesel engine only with diesel or diesel with a maximum RME fuel content of 7 %
⇒ .
If you use diesel with a high sulphur content, the service intervals are shorter. Information on
countries where the diesel has a high sulphur content is available from your Volkswagen dealership
or a qualified workshop.
The fuel quality affects the running properties, performance and service life of the engine. Refuel
with fuel that already contains suitable service additives ⇒ .
Information on the fuel standards can be found in the chapter on fuel standards ⇒ Fuel standards .
Winter-grade diesel fuel and filter preheater system
Winter-grade diesel fuel, which can be used at temperatures below -20°C (-4°F), is available during
the cold months. In countries with different climates, diesel with a different temperature behaviour
is offered. Information is available from your Volkswagen dealership, qualified workshops and filling
stations in the respective country.
Diesel vehicles are equipped with a filter preheater system. When using winter-grade diesel fuel, the
fuel system is safe for operation at temperatures down to around -24°C (-11°F). In order to ensure
that the vehicle can also be started at low outside temperatures, Volkswagen recommends parking
the vehicle in a location that is protected from the whether, e.g. in a garage ⇒ Troubleshooting .
Misfuelling prevention device
The tank filler neck in diesel vehicles may be fitted with a misfuelling prevention device. This is
intended to help ensure that the vehicle is refuelled only using diesel filler nozzles.
If the nozzle cannot be inserted correctly into the tank filler neck, first check whether you are using a
diesel filler nozzle. When you have made sure that you are using the correct filler nozzle, move the
diesel filler nozzle to and fro slightly with light pressure. This can open the misfuelling prevention
device and make it possible to refuel the vehicle. If the misfuelling prevention device still remains
closed, go to a qualified workshop and have the system checked.
If it is necessary to refuel the vehicle using a fuel canister in the event of an emergency, the
misfuelling prevention device will not open. In order to nevertheless fill the tank with fuel, pour the
diesel into the tank extremely slowly in very small quantities.

Fuse tables for fuses in the engine compartment
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The table shows the fuse locations of the electrical consumers relevant for the driver. The first
column in the table contains the location. The other columns contain the fuse type, the amp rating
and the consumer protected by the fuse.
Depending on the market and specification of your vehicle, the fuse numbers and positions may
differ to those given in the table. If necessary, ask your Volkswagen dealership for the exact fuse
assignment.

NOTICE
When filling or changing service fluids, please ensure that the correct service fluids are filled through
the correct openings. The use of incorrect service fluids could result in serious malfunctions and
engine damage.

Service fluids that leak from the vehicle are harmful to the environment. For this reason, you should
regularly check the ground underneath your vehicle. If there are spots of oil or other fluids on the
ground, the vehicle should be inspected by a qualified workshop. Any spilt service fluids must be
disposed of properly.
Preparing the vehicle for working in the engine compartment
Checklist
The following steps should always be carried out in the specified order before working in the engine
compartment ⇒ :

Park the vehicle on a level and stable surface.

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The electrolyte level of the 12-volt vehicle battery should be checked regularly in high-mileage
vehicles, in hot countries and in older 12-volt vehicle batteries. The 12-volt vehicle battery is
otherwise maintenance-free.
Vehicles with an auxiliary heater ⇒ Auxiliary heater and ventilation  are fitted with special vehicle
batteries. The electrolyte level of these 12-volt vehicle batteries cannot be checked for technical
reasons. Go to a qualified workshop to have the 12-volt vehicle battery checked.

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.
If the 12-volt vehicle battery was disconnected for an extended period, the system may not able to
calculate or correctly display the time when the next service is due ⇒ Instrument cluster . Observe
the maximum permissible service intervals ⇒ Service .
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.
