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. Volkswagen recommends using a
Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

Changing fuses
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Fuses in the dash panel 

⇒ Fuses in the engine compartment 
⇒ Fuse table for fuses in the dash panel 
⇒ 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.

This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Jump lead connection point (earth connection) 
⇒ Jump starting the vehicle 
If the engine fails to start because the 12-volt vehicle battery is flat, the discharged battery can be
connected to the 12-volt battery of another vehicle to start the engine.
Suitable jump leads are needed for jump starting.

Tow-starting or towing
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Notes on tow-starting and towing 

⇒ Tow-starting 
⇒ Towing 
⇒ Fitting the rear towing eye 
⇒ Fitting the front towing eye 
Towing requires some experience, especially when using a tow rope. Both drivers should be familiar
with the technique required for towing. Inexperienced drivers should not attempt to tow.
Ensure that no excessive pulling forces occur and take care to avoid jerking movements. When
towing offroad, there is always a risk of overloading the anchorage points.
Observe any legal requirements when towing or tow-starting.
Tow-starting
Tow-starting describes the procedure for starting the vehicle by moving it using another towing
vehicle.
The vehicle can be tow-started with a tow-bar or a tow-rope.
Towing
Towing is where a vehicle that cannot be driven is pulled with the aid of another vehicle.
The vehicle can be towed with a tow-bar or a tow-rope. When the engine is stopped, the gearbox is
not lubricated sufficiently at higher speeds and over long distances:
km/h (30 mph).
km.
Tow rope, tow bar
It is easier and safer to tow a vehicle with a tow bar. Use a tow rope only if you do not have a tow
bar.
The tow rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the strain on both vehicles. It is advisable to use a
tow rope made of synthetic fibre or similarly elastic material.
Towing with a tow truck
If your vehicle is to be raised on one axle for towing, this may only be done using the following axles
according to the gearbox/drive combination:
Front-wheel drive
Manual gearboxFront or rear axleAutomatic gearboxFront axle

WARNING
If a vehicle is being towed, the vehicle handling and braking efficiency will change significantly.
