CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
lie heater has a safety switch which is lo- :ated under the dash on the left near the
steering column. If the heater does not
start, or starts and then stops again, wait
3 minutes and then operate the red lever
on the safety switch.
[f the heater still does not work or if the
safety switch stops it again, there is a de-
:ect in the heater which can only be re- :aired by a Volkswagen workshop. Fuses
The auxiliary heater is equipped with two
fuses,
one 16 amp fuse for the entire heater and one 8 amp fuse for the over­
heating switch. Both fuses are located in a
fuse holder behind the fuse panel on the left side under the dashboard. When the
fuse for the overheating switch is blown,
the fan is working however no heat is

delivered.

If the replacement fuse blows again, have
the heater checked by your Volkswagen dealer.

VEHICLE CARE
BRAKE FLUID 3 ATT
108 Brake fluid reservoir
The brake fluid reservoir is located under the instrument cluster in the dashboard
panel.

To gain access to the reservoir, grasp the two recesses provided on back of the frame cover and pull up.
When replacing the cover, insert the front edge first, then press the cover down
firmly. Make sure it is correctly seated.
Checking fluid level
The correct fluid level is important for the proper functioning of the brake system.
The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should always be between the MAX and MIN markings. Your brake fluid level is automatically monitored by the brake
warning light (see page 43).
The fluid level may drop slightly after some time due to the automatic adjustment of
the brake pads. This is no cause for alarm.
If the brake fluid level falls considerably
below the mark
"MIN",
the brake warning
light will come on. Do not continue to oper­
ate the vehicle. The complete brake sys­
tem should be thoroughly checked by your
Volkswagen dealer and the cause cor­
rected.

WARNING • Brake fluid is poisonous. Brake fluid
is also harmful to the paint of your
vehicle.
When adding or replacing brake fluid, make certain to avoid spilling. Brake
fluid will damage fabric, paint, plastics and metal. Cover the areas sorround-ing the reservoir before removing the
filler cap.
• If brake fluid must be added to the
reservoir, use only new and unused
DOT 4 brake fluid that meets SAE
specification J 1703 and conforms to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard

116.
• Do not use any other brake fluid, or
brake fluid that has absorbed moisture
from the open air, or brake fluid that is
dirty. It may cause premature wear or unreliable braking action.
• Do not add or mix DOT 5 silicone
type brake fluid with the brake fluid in your vehicle as severe component cor­rosion may result. Such corrosion
could lead to brake system failure.
Changing brake fluid Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the at­
mosphere. If the watercontent in the brake
fluid is too high, corrosion in the brake sys­
tem may result after a period of time. The boiling point of the brake fluid will also de­
crease considerably. If the brakes are under constant and extreme use, a vapc
lock may result impairing the effectiveness
of the brakes and the vehicle safety. -e s
Dn seat arc
WARNING
The brake fluid must be replaced every 2 years. Your Volkswagen dealer will perform this service for you.
Always heed WARNINGS on page 97.

DO-IT-YOURSELF-SERVICE
FUSES

A
failure in the electrical system may be
caused
by a burned fuse.

Fuses
are arranged in one centralized

unit.
The
unit
is located on the
left
side under the dashboard behind a cover.

Removing
cover:

Detach cover at
front,
swing downwards
and take it off.

Installing
cover:

Hang
cover in the eyes of fuse box
bracket, swing it upwards and press it

firmly
into
position.
Replacing
a
fuse

Before
replacing
a fuse,
turn
off all
lights

and accessories and
remove
the
ignition
key to
avoid
damaging
the
electrical

system.
• Consult the fuse listing on the following
page to
find
out which fuse belongs to the
component
that
has failed.
• Remove blown fuse
with
the plastic clip
located on cover in
front
of fuse box.
Three spare fuses can be attached to the
bottom
of the fuse panel. It is good plan­ning to keep a supply of spare fuses on

hand.
They are available at your Volks­
wagen dealer.
• Replace the blown fuse which can be
recognised by the
burnt
metal strip,
with
a
fuse of equal ampere rating. If a
fuse
blows
repeatedly,
do not
keep
or

replacing
it. The cause of the
short
cir­

cuit
or
overload
must
be found. On nc

account
should fuses be
patched
up

with
tin
foil
or
wire
as
this
may cause serious
damage
elsewhere
in the
electrj

cal
circuit
or cause a
fire.

WARNING
Do not use a
fuse
of
higher
amperage,

because
this
could
damage
the
elec­

trical
part
and
fire
can
result.
