2014 VOLKSWAGEN CC Capacity

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit:
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there
will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-
750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will
be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this Manual to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and luggage capacity of
your vehicle.
Check the tire sidewall to determine the load index specified for
the tire.

WARNING
Improperly lifting your vehicle with a workshop hoist or a floor
jack can cause the vehicle to fall off and cause serious person-
al injury.
Always read and heed the operating instructions from the
floor jack manufacturer and legal regulations if necessary be-
fore using the floor jack to lift the vehicle.
Never let anyone stay in the vehicle when it is being lifted or
when it is off the ground.
Always lift your vehicle only at the designated lift points
shown in the illustrations ⇒ fig. 173 and ⇒ fig. 174. Not using the
designated lift points can cause the vehicle to fall off the floor
jack when heavy parts such as the engine or transmission are
removed.
Always make sure that the vehicle's lift points lie as flat as
possible and centered on the carrier plates of the floor jack.
Never start the engine when you have raised the vehicle on
the floor jack. The engine vibrations and vehicle movements
could knock the vehicle off the floor jack.
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, al-
ways make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle.
Never use the floor jack as a ladder or step ladder.
Always make sure that the weight of the vehicle is not heavi-
er than the lifting capacity of the floor jack and safety stands
being used.
NOTICE
To help prevent serious vehicle damage, never lift the vehicle
by the engine oil pan, transmission housing, or by the front or
rear axles or suspension.
To help prevent damage to the underbody or chassis, always
insert a rubber pad between the hoist and the lifting points. In
addition make sure the lifting arms have enough clearance.
The lifting arms should not touch side sills or other parts of
the vehicle.

WARNING
Improper use of jumper cables when jump-starting a vehicle
with a dead battery can cause the battery to explode, leading to
serious personal injury. To help reduce the risk of battery ex-
plosion:
All work on the batteries or the electrical system in your ve-
hicle can cause serious acid burns, fires, or electrical shocks.
Always read and heed the following WARNINGS and safety pre-
cautions before working on the batteries or the electrical sys-
tem ⇒  Vehicle battery.
Always make sure that the battery providing starting assis-
tance (the booster battery) has the same voltage as the dead
battery (12 V) and about the same amperage capacity (see bat-
tery label).
Never jump-start a vehicle with a thawed or frozen vehicle
battery. The battery can explode. A dead battery can freeze at
temperatures around +32 °F (0 °C).
A battery that is frozen or was frozen, but has since thawed,
must be replaced.
When the vehicle battery is jump-started, it gives off hydro-
gen gas, which is highly explosive! Always keep fire, sparks,
open flame, and smoking materials far away from vehicle bat-
teries. Never use a mobile telephone while connecting or dis-
connecting jumper cables.
Jump-start batteries only in well-ventilated areas. Batteries
give off highly explosive hydrogen gas during jump-starting.
Always route the jumper cables so that they cannot get
caught in any moving parts in the engine compartment.
Never short out the battery terminals by connecting the posi-
tive (+) and negative (-) terminals with each other.
Never connect the negative cable from the other vehicle di-
rectly to the negative terminal of the dead battery, as this may
cause the hydrogen gas given off by the dead battery to ex-
plode.
Never attach the negative cable from the vehicle providing
starting assistance to any part of the fuel system or to the
brake hoses or brake lines.

WARNING
Improper use of jumper cables when jump-starting a vehicle
with a dead battery can cause the battery to explode, leading to
serious personal injury. To help reduce the risk of battery ex-
plosion:
All work on the batteries or the electrical system in your ve-
hicle can cause serious acid burns, fires, or electrical shocks.
Always read and heed the following WARNINGS and safety pre-
cautions before working on the batteries or the electrical sys-
tem ⇒  Vehicle battery.
Always wear proper eye protection. Never lean over the vehi-
cle battery.
Attach the jumper cables in the correct order: first the posi-
tive cable, then the negative cable.
Never connect the negative cable from the vehicle providing
starting assistance to parts of the fuel system or to the brake
hoses or brake lines.
Never allow the non-insulated parts of the battery clamps to
touch.
Never allow the jumper cable attached to the positive battery
terminal to contact metal parts of the vehicle.
Check the battery acid level indicator window on the vehicle
battery. Use a flashlight, never a match, cigarette lighter, or
other open flame. If you cannot see the color of the window
clearly, or if it is light yellow or colorless, do not jump-start the
vehicle. Get expert assistance.
Avoid electrostatic discharge in the vicinity of the vehicle
battery. Sparks may cause the hydrogen gas escaping from the
vehicle battery to ignite.
Never jump-start a vehicle with a battery that is damaged or
frozen or that was frozen and has thawed. The battery can ex-
plode. Replace the battery instead.
Always follow the instructions of the jumper cable manufac-
turer.
Always make sure that the battery providing starting assis-
tance has the same voltage as the dead battery (12 V) and
about the same capacity (see battery label).
