Introduction
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.
2 for vehicles with petrol engines.


WARNING
Using the jump leads incorrectly or performing the jump start procedure incorrectly can cause the
12-volt vehicle battery to explode, which can lead to severe injuries. Please note the following in
order to reduce the risk of the 12-volt vehicle battery exploding:

NOTICE
Please note the following in order to avoid considerable damage to the vehicle electrical system:

Suitable earth connection: preferably the jump lead connection point (earth connection), a
solid metal part which is securely bolted onto the cylinder block, or the cylinder block itself.
The discharged 12-volt vehicle battery must be properly connected to the vehicle's electrical system.
The vehicles must not touch. Otherwise electricity could flow as soon as the positive terminals are
connected.
Ensure that the battery clamps have good metal-to-metal contact with the battery terminals.
If the engine does not start immediately, switch off the starter after about 10 seconds and try again
after about a minute.
If the engine still does not start, seek expert assistance.
Attaching the jump leads
The jump leads should be connected only in the order A – B – C – D⇒ Fig. 177 .
The black jump lead should never be connected to the negative terminal (–) on the 12-volt vehicle
battery. Connecting the lead to the negative terminal can cause incorrect condition evaluation of the
12-volt vehicle battery in the vehicle electronics.

Safety notes for working in the engine compartment

The engine compartment of a motor vehicle is a hazardous area. Do not work on the engine and in
the engine compartment unless you are familiar with the task, aware of the general safety
procedures and have the correct equipment, service fluids and suitable tools. Serious injuries can be
caused by carrying out work incorrectly ⇒ . The work should be carried out by a qualified
workshop if you are uncertain. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this
purpose.
Always park the vehicle on a level and stable surface before carrying out any work in the engine
compartment.

WARNING
Unintentional vehicle movements during service work can cause serious injury.

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.

Fig. 184 On the instrument cluster display: the bonnet is open or has not been closed properly.
A symbol in the instrument cluster display ⇒ Fig. 184  indicates 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.
ver ignore any warnings.


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.

NOTICE
this can result in serious malfunctions and engine damage.
-on parts in front of the air intake reduce the cooling effect of the
coolant. The engine may overheat at high ambient temperatures and high engine loads.

Leaking service fluids can pollute the environment. Spilt service fluids must be collected in suitable
containers and disposed of properly and with respect for the environment.
Washer fluid

Fig. 185 In the engine compartment: cap on the washer fluid reservoir.
The washer fluid level should be checked regularly and topped up as necessary.
A strainer is located in the neck of the washer fluid reservoir. The strainer keeps large dirt particles
away from the windscreen washer jets when refilling. The strainer should be removed for only
cleaning. If the strainer is damaged or is not present when refilling, dirt particles can enter the
system and block the washer jets.
