VEHICLE
CARE
Winter operation During the winter months, battery capacity
tends to decrease as temperatures drop.
Additionally, more power is consumed while starting, and the headlights, heater, rear window defogger, etc., are used more
frequently. Curtail unnecessary power
consumption,
particularly in city traffic or
when travelling short distances only. Let
your
Volkswagen dealer test the battery's
capacity before winter sets in. A well
charged battery will not only prevent
starting
problems but will also live longer.
If
your
vehicle is left standing for several
weeks
at extremely low temperatures, the battery should be removed and stored
where it will not freeze.
This
will prevent it
from being damaged.
When removing the battery, first discon nect both cables (see Charging of Bat
tery),
then unscrew the battery mounting.
WARNING
Always keep the battery well out of the reach of children.
Always heed WARNINGS on page
97.

Always shield
your
eyes and avoid
leaning
over
the battery whenever pos
sible.
•
Charge battery in a well ventilated
area.
Keep away from open flame or
electrical
spark. Do not
smoke.
Hydro gen gas generated by the battery is explosive.
•
Battery acid that may spill during
charging should be washed off with a solution of warm water and baking
soda
to neutralize the
acid.
•
If you get battery
acid
in
your
eyes or
on
your
skin,
immediately rinse with
cold
water for several minutes and
call
a
doctor.
•
Never charge
a
frozen battery. It may
explode because of gas trapped in the
ice.
Allow a frozen battery to thaw out
first.
•
Never use a fast charger as a boo
ster to start the engine.
This
will
seri
ously damage sensitive electronic
components,
such as relays, radio,
etc.,
as well as the battery charger.
•
Fast charging
a
battery
is
dangerous
and should only be attempted by a
competent mechanic with the proper
equipment.
Slow battery charging WARNING
•

structions that come with
your
battery
•
It is not necessary to remove the bat
tery
from the engine compartment, and it
is
also not necessary to disconnect the
cables.
•
Make sure the electrolyte level in each
cell
is between the "min" and "max" marks. If the fluid level is below the "min" mark, le:
your
Volkswagen dealer correct the condi
tion.
