2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC lights

WARNING
Using the wrong fuse, using a blown fuse that has been re-
paired, and using metal objects in place of fuses to complete
the electrical connection in the circuit can cause fires and seri-
ous personal injury.
Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amp rating.
Replace a blown fuse only with a fuse of the same amperage
(same color and same imprint) and same overall size.
Never repair fuses.
Never replace fuses with a metal strip, a paper clip, or a simi-
lar object.
NOTICE
To help prevent damage to the electrical system, switch off all
lights and accessories, switch off the ignition, and remove the
key from the ignition switch before replacing a fuse.
If a fuse is replaced with a fuse with higher amperage, this can
also cause damage at different locations in the electrical system.
Open fuse boxes must be protected from dirt and moisture.
Dirt and moisture in fuse boxes can cause damage to the electri-
cal system.

WARNING
Improper replacement of burned out headlights and other light
bulbs can cause serious personal injury.
Stop! Always read and heed the WARNINGS before doing any
work in the engine compartment ⇒  Working in the engine com-
partment. The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a
potentially dangerous area, and work in this area can lead to
serious personal injury.
HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights get power
from a high voltage source that can cause severe personal inju-
ry and even death if handled improperly.
H7 bulbs and HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) head-
lights are under high pressure and can explode if handled im-
properly.
Always let a burned out light bulb cool down before replacing
it.
Never replace a light bulb unless you are familiar with all of
the necessary procedures. In particular, never remove a head-
light unless you know exactly how to carry out the job and have
the correct tools and light bulbs.
If you are uncertain about what to do, have the work per-
formed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer, an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility, or another qualified workshop.
Serious personal injury may result from improperly performed
work.
We strongly recommend that you always have HID – High In-
tensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights and H7 bulbs replaced by
a qualified technician.
Do not touch the glass of light bulbs with your bare hands.
Fingerprints left on the bulb evaporate due to the heat when the
bulb is switched on and cause the reflector to “cloud.”
There are sharp edges on and around the headlight housing
in the engine compartment and the rear light housing. Wear
hand protection if you replace bulbs.

WARNING
Disregarding the safety-related checklist may lead to accidents
and serious personal injuries.
Always review and follow the checklist. Follow accepted safe-
ty practices and use common sense.
NOTICE
Always insert and remove lamps carefully to help prevent dam-
age to the vehicle paint or to other parts of the vehicle.

time running light, parking light and turn signal 1, HID headlights 2.

4. Press downward to remove the bulb holder ⇒ fig. 201 (5) with
the bulb and pull it toward the rear out of the headlight hous-
ing.
5. Pull the bulb straight out of the bulb holder.
6. Replace burned out bulbs with new bulbs that are identical to
the ones being replaced.
7. Insert the bulb holder with the new bulb in the original position
in the headlight housing (5) and press upward.
8. Install the rubber cover ⇒ fig. 200 (1).

Replacing the HID bulb
See your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility for assistance in replacing the HID bulb (2).
The illustrations show the right headlight from behind. The left
headlight is arranged as a mirror image of the right.
Failure of a single LED within a headlight is not indicated. How-
ever, the  indicator light will appear if all LEDs fail.
Different models may have different lights, and the location and
design of covers, bulb holders, and bulbs may be in a different loca-
tion than shown in the illustrations.
You cannot replace the LEDs in LED daytime running lights. Con-
tact your authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility for assistance.

Different models may have different lights, and the location and
design of covers, bulb holders, and bulbs may be in a different loca-
tion than shown in the illustrations.

Please carry out each step only in the order specified:
5. Replace burned out bulbs with new bulbs that are identical to
the ones being replaced.
6. Insert the bulb holder in the taillight and turn it approximately
30° clockwise. The bulb holder must click into place.
7. Insert the cover. The cover must lock into place and be se-
cure.

LEDs in the taillights in the luggage compartment lid
LEDs cannot be replaced. Contact your authorized Volkswagen deal-
er or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance.
Different models may have different lights, and the location and
design of covers, bulb holders, and bulbs may be in a different loca-
tion than shown in the illustrations.
Replacing taillight bulbs in the vehicle body

jump-start terminal6 ⇒ Positive jump start terminal, 3.6 liter engine,
⇒ fig. 210 (+).
3. Attach one end of the red jumper cable to the positive terminal (+)
of the dead battery: (1) ⇒ .
4. Attach the other end of the red jumper cable to the positive termi-
nal (+) of the good battery (booster battery): (2).
5. Attach one end of the black jumper cable to the negative terminal
(-) of the booster battery: (2) ⇒ fig. 211.
6. Attach the other end of the black jumper cable (3) to a bare metal
part of the vehicle with the dead battery. This part should be
connected directly to the engine block. You may also attach the
cable to the engine block itself. Attach the clamp to a point that is
as far away as possible from the dead battery (1) ⇒ .
7. Route the jumper cables so that they cannot get caught in any
moving parts in the engine compartment of either vehicle.
Starting the engine
Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery that is provid-
ing help and let it run at idle speed.
Turn on the ignition of the vehicle with the dead battery. If the en-
gine starts, wait 2 to 3 minutes until it “runs smoothly” before remov-
ing the jumper cables as described below ⇒ . If the engine does not
start within about 10 seconds, turn off the ignition and wait at least
1 minute; then try again.
Before removing the jumper cables
Switch off the headlights (if they are on).
In the vehicle with the dead battery, switch on the heater fan and
the rear window defroster. This helps to minimize voltage spikes
when the cables are disconnected.
Removing jumper cables
With the engine running, remove the jumper cables in reverse order
to the way they were connected.
1. Disconnect the black (-) cable from the vehicle with the dead bat-
tery.
