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.

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.
