r--T'n First read and observe the introductory L-L::.U information and safety warnings & on page 425.
The steps should only be carried out in the speci-fied order.
Checklist
The following actions must always be carried out in the given order in preparation for filling a tyre &:
1. If you get a flat tyre, park your vehicle on a firm and level surface at a safe distance from the flow of traffic.
2. Apply the handbrake firmly 269.
3. With a DSG® dual clutch gearbox, move the selector lever to position P 260.
4. Manual gearbox: select a gear 263.
5. Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition 257.
6. Ensure that all vehicle occupants exit the vehicle and go straight to a safe place, e.g. behind the safety barrier.

There is a slot on the lower end of the valve insert extractor CD for the valve insert. This is required for extracting and fitting the tyre valve. This also applies to the spare valve core @. 7. Switch on the hazard warning lights and po-sition the warning triangle 411. Ob-serve any legal requirements.
8. Check whether the puncture can be re-paired with the breakdown set 425.
9. When towing a trailer, unhitch the trailer from the vehicle and park it properly.
10. Remove any items of luggage from the lug-gage compartment.
11. Take the breakdown set out of the luggage compartment.
12. Take the sticker 302 ®from the breakdown set and stick it on the dash pan-el within the driver's field of vision.
13. Do not remove foreign objects (e.g. screws or nails) from the tyre.
A WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and se-vere Injuries. ,..

Practical tips 427

A WARNING (Continued)
• Always follow the instructions In the checklist and observe the general safety pro-
Sealing and inflating tyres
r-"'('n First read and observe the Introductory L-J,.:.U Information and safety warnings & on page 425.
Sealing a tyre
• Unscrew the cap from the tyre valve.
• Use the valve core extractor 302 CD to screw the valve core out of the tyre valve. Place the core on a clean surface.
• Shake the tyre filler bottle 302 ® vigo-rously up and down several times.
• Screw the filler hose 302 @tightly onto the tyre filler bottle in a clockwise direction. The plastic foil on the plug is pierced automatically.
• Remove the plug from the filler hose 302@ and place the open end fully on the tyre valve.
• Hold the bottle upside down and inject the en-tire contents of the tyre filler bottle into the tyre.
• Remove the empty tyre filler bottle from the valve.
• Use the valve core extractor 302 CD to screw the valve core back onto the tyre valve.
Inflating the tyre
• Screw the tyre filler hose 302 ® of the air compressor tightly onto the tyre valve.
• Check that the bleed screw 302 (?) is closed.
• Start the engine and let it run.
• Insert the plug 302 ®into one of the ve-hicle's 12-volt sockets 163.
• Use the on/off switch 302 ®to switch on the air compressor.
• Run the compressor until the tyre pressure has reached 2.0-2.5 bar (29-36 psi I 200-250 kPa) maximum running time is 6 minutes
• Switch off the air compressor.
• If a pressure level of 2.0-2.5 bar (29-36 psi I 200 -250 kPa) cannot be achieved unscrew the tyre filler hose from the tyre valve.
428 I If and when
• Drive (or reverse) the vehicle approximately 1 0 metres so that the sealing compound is more evenly distributed in the tyre.
• Screw the tyre filler hose for the air compressor firmly back onto the tyre valve and inflate the tyre again.
• If the required pressure still cannot be reached, the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre cannot be sealed with the breakdown set. Do not drive on. Seek expert assistance &.
• Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew the tyre filler hose from the tyre valve.
• Drive the vehicle no faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) once a tyre pressure of 2.0-2.5 bar (29-36 psi I 200-250 kPa) has been reached.
• Check the tyre pressure after driving for 10 mi-nutes 429.
A WARNING
The tyre filler hose and the air compressor can get hot during Inflation.
• Protect your hands and skin from the hot components.
• Do not place the hot tyre filler hose or the hot air compressor on any Inflammable mate-rials.
• Allow the device to cool down fully before stowing.
• If the tyre will not Inflate to at least 2.0 bar (29 psi/ 200 kPa), the tyre Is too damaged. The sealant Is unable to seal the tyre. Do not drive on. Seek expert assistance.
CD
Switch the air compressor off after a maximum of 6 minutes to avoid overheating. Let the air compressor cool down for a few minutes be-fore switching it back on.

Test after driving for 10 minutes
r-'('n First read and observe the Introductory L-J,:.LI Information and safety warnings & on page 425.
Reconnect the tyre filler hose =>Fig. 302 ®and check the tyre pressure on the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator®.
1.3 bar (19 psi /130 kPa) and lower:
• Do not drive on I The tyre cannot be sealed adequately with the breakdown set.
• Seek expert assistance => &.
1.4 bar (20 psi /140 kPa) and higher:
• Set the tyre pressure back to the correct value =>page 367.
• Resume your journey to the nearest qualified workshop. Do not exceed a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
• The damaged tyre should be replaced at the qualified workshop.
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. Additional information and warnings:
• 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.
