GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
Battery
The
battery is in the engine compartment on
the left looking forward. It can be
reached
when
the lid of the battery box is
removed.
2nd
battery*
The
2nd battery is located under the left
seat.
To
reach
it the
seat
must be
pushed
fully for
ward
past the stop. The stop must be
freed.
To
do this - see page 21. Attention
•
Battery
acid is corrosive and must not get
into
the eyes or onto
skin and clothing.
Any
acid splashes must be
washed off thoroughly
with
water.
If necessary see a doctor.
•
Never short the
battery
ter
minals (e.g.
with
tools) as this
causes
the
battery
to
heat
up
very quickly and it may burst.
•
To prevent any possibility of
short circuiting, detach
battery
earth
cable before doing any
work
on the electrical system.
When changing a bulb, it is sufficient to switch off the lamp
con
cerned.
•
When disconnecting the
bat
tery
from the vehicle electrical system
first
disconnect the nega
tive
cable and
then
the positive cable.
The
battery
must not be discon nected
with
the engine running,
as this
will
damage the electrical
system (electronic components).
•
When reconnecting the
bat
tery
connect the positive cable
first
and
then
the negative cable.
The connecting cables must on no account be interchanged - can
cause
wiring
to burn out.
Starting
by
connecting
an additional battery
is
described
in the Do-it-yourself
section.
Checking
acid level In normal operating conditions the battery
requires
hardly any maintenance. At high
ambient
temperatures however it is
advis
able
to
check
the
acid
level at regular inter
vals.
It should always be between the MIN
and
MAX marks on the battery. If the
acid
level
drops below the MIN mark, the af
fected
cells
must be topped-up to the MAX
mark
with distiled water.
It is recommended that the
acid
level is
checked
and corrected by a
Volkswager
dealer.

flector and dims it.

ignation is marked on the base of the bulb
or on the
