WARNING
Improper use of power washers can cause serious invisible
permanent damage leading to tire failure and loss of vehicle
control. This can cause accidents and severe personal injury.
Keep sufficient distance between water jet and tires. Never
wash tires with a nozzle that sprays the water out in a direct
stream regardless of the distance to the tire and even for a very
short time.
Never use “dirt blasters” to clean tires. Even spraying from a
relatively long distance for a very short time can do visible or
invisible damage to tires.
WARNING
After the vehicle has been washed, the wet brakes or, in winter,
brake discs or pads coated with ice, react slower and need
longer stopping distances.
Always dry the brakes and clean off any ice coatings with a
few careful applications of the brake. Make sure not to endan-
ger other motorists or cyclists or disobey legal requirements.
NOTICE
Water temperature should not be more than +140 °F (+60 °C).
To help prevent damage to the paint, do not wash the vehicle
in direct sunlight.
In order for Park Distance Control to work correctly, the sen-
sors in the rear bumper must be kept clean and clear of snow
and ice.
When using a power washer or steam cleaner, only spray the
sensors directly for a short period of time and always keep the
nozzle at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the sensor.
Do not clean icy or snow-covered windows with a power
washer.
When washing or rinsing the vehicle in cold weather, do not
let water get into the lock cylinders or point the hose at gaps
around the doors, hood, or luggage compartment lid. The water

could freeze on the locks and seals and make it difficult to open
the vehicle!
Cleaning windows and outside mirrors

Removing ice
The best way to remove ice is with a deicer spray. When using an ice
scraper always scrape in one direction, never back and forth. Dirt can
scratch the glass when moving the scraper backward.
WARNING
Dirty or fogged up windows reduce visibility and increase the
risk of accidents and severe injuries.
Don't drive until you have clear visibility through all windows.
Remove ice, snow and condensation from all inside and out-
side window surfaces.
NOTICE
Never mix recommended cleaning agents with other cleaning
agents in the windshield washer reservoir. If you do, this could
cause sediments or other by-products that can clog the wind-
shield wiper nozzles.
Never use warm or hot water to remove snow and ice from
windows and mirrors. This could cause the glass to crack!
The heating elements for the rear defroster are on the inside of
the rear window. Do not put stickers over the heating elements
on the inside of the rear window and never clean the inside of
the windows with corrosive or acidic cleaning agents or other
chemicals that could damage the heating elements.
Antennas installed on the insides of windows can be damaged
by abrasive objects or by corrosive or acidic cleaning agents or
other chemicals. Do not place any stickers on the windshield-
integrated antenna and never clean the antenna with corrosive
or acidic cleaning agents or other chemicals.

Changing wiper blades
Lift the wiper arm(s) away from the windshield.
Press and hold the release button ⇒ fig. 172 (1).
While lifting the wiper blade in the direction of the wiper arm, pull
off the wiper blade in the direction of the arrow. This may require
moderate force.
Install a new wiper blade of same length and type onto the wiper
arm by pushing in the opposite direction of the arrow until it latches.
Carefully fold the wiper arm back down onto the windshield.
WARNING
Worn or dirty wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the
risk of accidents and severe injuries.
Always change wiper blades if they are damaged or worn,
and if they cannot clean the windows sufficiently.
NOTICE
Damaged or dirty wiper blades can scratch the windshield.
Solvents, abrasive sponges and sharp-edged objects will
damage the graphite coating on the wiper blades.
Do not clean the windows with gasoline, nail polish remover,
paint thinner or similar fluids.
To help prevent damage to the engine hood and the wind-
shield wiper arms, lift the wiper arms away from the windshield
only when they are in the service position.
Waxing and polishing vehicle paint

NOTICE
Antennas installed on the insides of windows can be damaged
by abrasive objects or by corrosive or acidic cleaning agents or
other chemicals. Do not place any stickers on the windshield-
integrated antenna and never clean the antenna with corrosive
or acidic cleaning agents or other chemicals.
Operating electrical devices near the integrated windshield an-
tenna may interfere with AM radio reception.
Volkswagen service information

WARNING
Serious injuries can result if the emergency closing and open-
ing procedures are used carelessly.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
with the remote control vehicle key. This could result in people
being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-
ing on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in
the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher
than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly
to small children.
WARNING
Careless opening and closing of the doors, the luggage com-
partment lid, and the power sunroof is dangerous and can
cause serious personal injury.
Open or close the doors, the luggage compartment lid, and
the power sunroof only when no one is in the way.
NOTICE
If the vehicle's battery fails or the power windows won't work,
the door windows are not lowered when the door is opened or
closed. Always close and open the door carefully to help prevent
damage to the window, the paint, or the rubber seal.
NOTICE
To help prevent vehicle damage, carefully remove and properly
reinstall parts after emergency locking or unlocking.

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.

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).
