Condensation on the windows
Keep the air intake in front of the windscreen free of ice, snow or leaves in order to improve heating
and cooling performance ⇒ Vehicle care .
Do not cover the air vents in the rear of the luggage compartment to allow air to flow through the
vehicle from the front to the rear.

Water under the vehicle
If the humidity and temperature outside the vehicle are high, condensation can drip off the
evaporator of the cooling system and form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is normal and does
not indicate a leak!
If the outside humidity is high and the outside temperature low, condensation may evaporate when
the auxiliary heater is running ⇒ Auxiliary heater and ventilation . If this is the case, steam may
appear underneath the vehicle. This is not a sign that the vehicle is damaged.

WARNING
Poor visibility through all windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which can cause
serious injuries.

Checklist
Always carry out the following actions for changing a bulb in the given order ⇒ :

Park the vehicle on a firm and level surface at a safe distance from the flow of traffic.

Switch on the electronic parking brake Electronic parking brake.

Turn the light switch to position 0 Switching lights on and off.

Move the turn signal and main beam lever to neutral position Switching turn signals on and off.

Automatic gearbox: move the selector lever to position P DSG® dual clutch gearbox.

Stop the engine and remove the vehicle key from the ignition Starting the engine.

Manual gearbox: select a gear Manual gearbox: selecting a gear.

Allow the orientation lighting to go out Coming Home and Leaving Home function (orientation
lighting).

Leave the defective bulbs to cool down.

Check to see if a fuse has visibly blown Changing fuses.

Follow the instructions to change the affected bulb . Always replace bulbs with identical bulbs of the
same type. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.

Replace the defective bulb with a new bulb of the same type.
Insert the bulb holder into the headlight and turn it clockwise as far as it will go.
Connect the connector to the bulb holder. The connector must audibly click into place.
Push the headlight from the outside into the openings and insert into the bumper.
Use the screwdriver to tighten the securing screws ⇒ Fig. 169  ①.
Fit the cover in the bumper ⇒ Fig. 169 .
Stow the wire hook and screwdriver in the vehicle toolkit.
Changing bulbs in the tail light clusters (LED lights)
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
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.

There are other fuses in the vehicle in addition to those described in this chapter. These should be
changed only by a qualified workshop.

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.
