To make sure the additional electrical energy is available o nce again
after you have changed the battery, we recommend t hat you install
batteries of the same type and manufacture only (the same as those
installed at the time your vehicle was delivered). Specif ications are
listed on the batte ry ho using. Your authorized dealer must code the
battery in the energy management system to enable you to use the
ene rgy management functions correct ly after replacing the battery.
If it is not poss ible to use a battery of this type, the new battery must
have the same capacity, voltage (12 volts), amperage, construct ion
and plug sealing.
We recommend that you use maintenance-free or
c y cle-re sis ­
tant /le ak -proof
batteries that conform to the standards TL 82S 06
(from December 1997) and
VW 7 50 73 (from August 2001).

consumers are turned off.
