Incorrect use of the vehicle jack can cause the vehicle to slip off the jack, which can lead
to severe injuries. Please note the following to help reduce the risk of injuries:
•Only use vehicle jacks that have been approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle type.
Other vehicle jacks could slip out of position – this includes vehicle jacks supplied
with other Volkswagen models.
•The ground must be firm and level. Soft ground or surfaces at an incline under the
vehicle jack may cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. If necessary use a large, strong
board or similar support for the vehicle jack.
•On a hard, slippery surface (such as tiles) use a rubber mat or similar to prevent the
vehicle jack from slipping.
•Fit the vehicle jack only at the points described. The jack claw must securely grip the
vertical rib under the side member ⇒ Fig. 247.
•Never place any part of your body (e.g. an arm or leg) underneath the vehicle if the
latter is only supported by the vehicle jack.
•If you have to work underneath the vehicle, use suitable stands to provide extra
support for the vehicle.
•Never lift the vehicle when the engine is running, or if the vehicle is tilted to the side or
on a gradient.
•Never start the engine when the vehicle is raised on a vehicle jack. Engine vibrations
can cause the vehicle to fall off the vehicle jack.

instructions on the packaging.
Washing the vehicle
Also wash the underside of the vehicle on a regular basis to remove road salt or seawater residue.
Automatic car washes
Always observe all the car wash operator's specifications, in particular if your vehicle features add-
on parts ⇒.
•Preferably use car washes without brushes.
•Preclean the vehicle by rinsing with water.
•The steering column must not lock when driving through automatic car washes ⇒ Steering.
•Always switch off the Auto Hold function ⇒ Electronic parking brake, the wipers ⇒ Wipers and
the rain/light sensor before entering the car wash.

things to note for this ⇒.
•Before washing the vehicle, soak the dirt with plenty of water and then rinse it off thoroughly.
•Clean the vehicle with a soft sponge, a wash mitt or a brush applying only light pressure. Start
with the roof and work from the top to the bottom.
•Rinse the sponge, wash mitt or brush thoroughly at regular short intervals.
•Clean the wheels, sill panels etc. last. Use a second sponge for this.
Use a shampoo for very stubborn dirt only.
Car care products can be toxic and hazardous. Unsuitable care products and incorrect use
of care products can cause accidents, serious injuries, burns or poisoning.
•Care products must be kept in the original, sealed container only.
•Read the manufacturer's instructions.
•Never use empty food cans, bottles or other containers for storing care products.
•Keep children away from care products.
•The products can give off harmful fumes during use. They should therefore only be
used outside or in well-ventilated spaces.
•Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, nail varnish remover or other volatile fluids to
wash, clean or care for your vehicle. These substances are toxic and highly
inflammable.
WARNING
Stains, dirt and other deposits containing aggressive and solvent-based ingredients attack
the material and may cause irreparable damage, even if only left for a short time.
•Stains, dirt and other deposits should always be removed as quickly as possible and
not allowed to dry in.
•Have stubborn stains removed by a qualified workshop.

Waxing
Waxing protects the paintwork. At the latest when water no longer clearly forms small drops and
runs off the paintwork when the vehicle is clean, you should re-wax the vehicle with a good wax
solution.
Even if a preservative wax is applied regularly in the automatic car wash, Volkswagen recommends
protecting the vehicle paintwork at least twice a year using Volkswagen Genuine hard wax (-
000 096 317 -).
Polishing
Polishing is only necessary if the paint has lost its shine, and the gloss cannot be brought back by
applying wax.
Wash the vehicle only in specially provided wash bays This prevents waste water
contaminated with oil, grease or fuel from entering the sewerage system.
