Fuses
i:llJ Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Fuse box in the dash panel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 430
Fuses in the engine compartment . . . . . . . . . . 431 Changing a blown fuse ................... 431
At the time of print we are unable to provide an up-to-date overview of the locations of the fuses for the electrical consumers. This is because the vehi-cle is under constant development, because fuses are assigned differently depending on the vehicle equipment level and because several consumers may use a single fuse. You can get more informa-tion about the fuse layout from a Volkswagen Com-mercial Vehicles dealership.
Several electrical consumers could share a single fuse. Conversely, a single consumer could have more than one fuse.
Therefore fuses should only be replaced when the cause of the fault has been rectified. If a new fuse blows shortly after insertion, have the electrical system checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
A WARNING
Driving with an unsealed tyre is dangerous as it can cause accidents and serious Injuries.
• Do not carry on driving if the tyre pressure Is 1.3 bar (19 psi /130 kPa) or lower.
• Seek expert assistance.
• Drink holder =>page 153
• Preparation for working in the engine compart-ment =>page 350
• Battery =>page 362
A WARNING
High voltages in the electrical system can cause electric shocks, serious burns and death.
• Never touch the electrical wiring of the ig-nition system.
• Avoid causing short circuits in the electri-cal system.
A WARNING
Using unsuitable or repaired fuses and bridg-ing an electrical circuit without fuses can cause a fire and serious injuries.

A WARNING (Continued)
• Never fit fuses that have a higher fuse pro-tection limit. Fuses must always be replaced by a new fuse with the same amp rating (same colour and markings) and size.
• Never repair a fuse.
• Never use a metal strip, paper clip or simi-lar objects to replace a fuse.
Fuse box in the dash panel

Detecting a blown fuse
If the metal strip is melted this indicates that the fuse has blown 305.
Shine a torch onto the fuse. This will help you to spot the blown fuse more easily.
Changing a fuse

Changing the vehicle bulbs requires considerable technical skill. Therefore if you do not feel confi-dent with the procedure. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends having the bulbs changed by a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership or other professional assistance. You must contact a qualified workshop if other vehicle parts around the lights need to be removed or LED lights need to be replaced.
You should keep a box with spare light bulbs for the lights that ensure the vehicle is roadworthy in the vehicle at all times. Spare bulbs are available from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealers. In some countries it is a legal requirement to have these spare bulbs in the vehicle.
lt may be illegal to drive with a defective bulb in the exterior lighting.
4321 If and when
• Pull out the blown fuse.
• If the fuse has blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amp rating (same colour and same markings) and same size
• Replace the cover.
CD
You can damage another position In the electri-cal system by using a fuse with a higher amp rating.
You can change the following bulbs yourself:
• Bulbs of the halogen headlights.
• Turn signal bulb in the LED headlights.
• Bulbs in non-LED tail light cluster.
• Turn signal and reversing light bulb in the LED tail light cluster.
• Bulb of turn signal repeater.
• Bulb of fog lights.
All LED lights in the vehicle should always be changed by an expert.
Additional bulb specifications
Some bulbs in headlights or In tail light clusters might have factory specifications that are different to standard bulbs. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.

Checklist (Continued)
3. Turn the light switch to position o 106.
4. Shift the tu m signal lever to neutral 106.
5. With a DSG® dual clutch gearbox, move the selector lever to position P 260.
6. Manual gearbox: select a gear 263.
7. Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition 257.
8. Switch off the orientation lighting 106.
9. Leave the defective bulbs to cool down.
10. Check to see if a fuse has blown 429.
11. Follow the instructions to change the affec-ted bulb Always use identical bulbs of the same type. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.
12. Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with unprotected fingers. The heat of the bulb would cause the fingerprint to evaporate and condense on the renector. This will im-pair the brightness of the headlight.
LED lights on the vehicle
r--f'n First read and observe the introductory L-I=J.I information and safety warnings & on page 432.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the following lights may be LED lights:
• Dipped beam, main beam, daytime running lights and side lights on vehicles with LED head-lights.
• Tail light, brake light and fog light on vehicles with LED tail lights.
• Number plate lights.
434 If and when
13. After changing the bulb, check to ensure that the bulb is working properly. If the bulb is not working properly, the bulb may not have been inserted properly or may have failed again, or the connector may have been inserted incorrectly.
14. Any time you change a bulb in the front of the vehicle, the headlight settings should be checked by a qualified workshop.
A WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and se-vere Injuries.
• Always follow the instructions in the checklist and observe the general safety pro-cedures.
CD
Always take care when removing or fitting lights in order to prevent damage to the paint-work or to other vehicle parts. <1
Owners cannot replace the LEDs themselves. If some LEDs fail, this may be an indication that more elements are on the point of failure. If this happens, have the lights checked and replaced if necessary at a qualified workshop.
