Headlight VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG 2012 Owner's Manual

WARNING
After the vehicle has been washed, the wet brakes or, in winter, brake discs or pads coated with ice, react slower and need longer stopping distances.
x Always dry the brakes and clean off any ice coatings with a few careful applications of the brake. Make sure not to endanger other motorists or cyclists or disobey legal requirements.
CAUTION
Sharp edges under the vehicle can cut exposed skin.
x Always protect your hands and arms from cuts on sharp metal edges when cleaning the underbody, the inside of the wheel housings, etc.
NOTICE
x The water temperature must not be more than +140 °F (+60 °C).
x To help prevent damage to the paint, do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
x Do not use insect sponges, abrasive kitchen sponges or similar things to clean the vehicle. These can damage the paint finish.
x Never clean headlights with a dry cloth or sponge. Always use a wet cloth or sponge. For best results use soapy water.
x When washing or rinsing the vehicle in cold weather, do not let water get into the lock cylinders or point the hose at gaps around the doors, hood or rear hatch. The water could freeze on the locks and seals and make it difficult to open the vehicle!
NOTICE
To help prevent vehicle damage in a car wash:
x Compare the vehicle track width with the dimensions of the guide rails in the car wash to help prevent damage to wheel rims and tires!
x Switch off the rain sensor before driving through a car wash.
x Make sure there is enough clearance for the height and width of the vehicle.
x To help prevent paint damage to the engine hood, place wiper blades against the windshield after they have dried. Do not let them snap back into place.
x Fold the outside mirrors toward the vehicle body. Do not fold power mirrors manually!
x Lock the rear hatch to prevent unintentional opening in the car wash.
Washing with a power washer

NOTICE
x To help prevent damage, do not use hard wax or polish on matte-finished parts, plastic parts, headlights or rear lights.
x Do not wax or polish your vehicle if it is dirty, or in a sandy or dusty place.

WARNING
Improper replacement of burned out headlights and other light bulbs can cause serious per-sonal injury.
x Stop! Always read and heed the WARNINGS before doing any work in the engine com-
partment ⇒  Working in the engine compartment. The engine compartment of any motor vehi-cle is a potentially dangerous area, and work in this area can lead to serious personal injury.
x HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) get power from a high-voltage source that can cause severe personal injury and even death if handled improperly.
x H7 bulbs and HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) are under high pressure and can explode if handled improperly.
x Always let a burned out light bulb cool down before replacing it.
x Never replace a light bulb unless you are familiar with all of the necessary procedures. In particular, never remove a headlight unless you know exactly how to carry out the job and have the correct tools and light bulbs.
x If you are uncertain about what to do, have the work performed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer, an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or another qualified work-shop. Serious personal injury may result from improperly performed work.
x We strongly recommend that you always have HID - High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) lamps and H7 bulbs replaced by a qualified technician.
x Do not touch the glass of light bulbs with your bare hands. Fingerprints left on the bulb evaporate due to the heat when the bulb is switched on and cause the reflector to “cloud”.
x There are sharp edges on and around the headlight housing in the engine compartment and the taillight housing. Wear hand protection if you replace bulbs.
NOTICE
After replacing a headlight bulb or other light bulb, always make sure that the rubber covers or plastic caps have been properly and securely reinstalled to help prevent water from getting into the electrical connections and headlight housing and damaging the electrical system.
Indicator lights

2. Turn the ignition of the vehicle with the dead battery. If the engine starts, wait 2 to 3 minutes until it
“runs smoothly” before removing the jumper cables as described below ⇒ . If the engine does not start within about 10 seconds, turn off the ignition and wait at least 1 minute; then try again.
Before removing the jumper cables
1. Switch off the headlights (if they are on).
2. In the vehicle with the dead battery, switch on the heater fan and the rear window defroster. This helps tit minimize voltage spikes when the cables are disconnected.
Removing the jumper cables
1. Before you remove the jumper cables, switch off the headlights (if they are on).
2. In the vehicle with the dead battery, switch on the heater fan and the rear window defroster. This helps to minimize voltage spikes when the jumper cables are disconnected.
3. With the engine running, remove the jumper cables in reverse order to the way they were con-nected. Specifically:
– Disconnect the black (–) cable from the vehicle with the dead battery.
– Disconnect the black (–) cable from the other vehicle (vehicle with the good battery).
– Disconnect the red (+) cable from the other vehicle (vehicle with the good battery).
– Disconnect the red (+) cable from the vehicle with the dead battery.
4. Turn off the heater fan and the rear winder defroster on the vehicle with the dead battery.
5. Snap the cap of the positive jump-start terminal back on, reinstall covers, and close engine hoods.
