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
Never tow a vehicle without any electrical power.
Never remove the remote control vehicle key from the igni-
tion switch or turn off the ignition with the starter button while
the vehicle is moving. The electronic steering column lock
could suddenly engage, and you would not be able to steer or
control the vehicle. You can lose control of the vehicle, crash,
and seriously injure yourself and others.
If the vehicle loses power while it is being towed, stop towing
the vehicle immediately and contact your authorized
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility
for assistance.
WARNING
Towing a vehicle changes the way it handles and brakes. To
help reduce the risk of an accident and serious personal injury,
note the following:
The driver of the vehicle that is being towed:
– Since the brake booster also does not work when the en-
gine is stopped, you will need to press harder on the brake
pedal to slow down or stop. Always be alert so as not to rear-
end the towing vehicle.
– Will have to use considerably more force to turn the steer-
ing wheel because the power steering is not working.
The driver of the vehicle that is doing the towing:
– Must accelerate gradually and gently and avoid jerking
movements.
– Must not brake hard or steer sharply.
– Must brake earlier and more gently than in normal driving.
NOTICE
Be careful not to damage the paint when installing and remov-
ing the towing eye and the cover for the threaded hole behind
the bumper.

electrical system is operating. In the following situations, the vehicle
cannot be towed at all and must be transported on a flatbed truck or
trailer:
If the front and rear wheels cannot turn.
If the vehicle battery is dead (because the electronic steering col-
umn lock engages and cannot be released).
If you have to tow an automatic transmission vehicle more than
30 miles (50 km).
WARNING
It is not safe for children or other persons to ride in a vehicle
that is being towed.
Never let children or anyone else remain in the vehicle while
it is being towed.
NOTICE
The drive axle rotates while the vehicle is being towed with its
rear wheels off the ground. This can damage the automatic
transmission.
Never tow automatic transmission vehicle with the rear wheels
off the ground.
Tow manual transmission vehicles with the rear wheels off the
ground only if it is certain that no transmission fluid can leak
out.
Tips on towing

When not to tow your vehicle
In the following situations, the vehicle cannot be towed and must be
transported on a flatbed truck or trailer:
If transmission fluid has leaked out of the transmission.
If there is little or no oil in the transmission because of damage to
your vehicle, it must be moved with the drive wheels off the ground.
If the front and rear wheels cannot turn.
When the vehicle battery is dead, because the steering may remain
disabled and it may not be possible to release the electronic steering
column lock. If the electronic parking brake was engaged when the
battery died, it cannot be released.
If you have to tow an automatic transmission vehicle more than
30 miles (50 km).
Towing other vehicles
Obey all legal requirements
Read and heed all towing information in the owner's manual for the
other vehicle.
A vehicle can be towed only if the electronic parking brake and
the electronic steering column lock are released. In case of a power
loss or malfunctions of the electrical system, the engine may have to
be jump-started ⇒ Jump-starting in order to release the electronic
parking brake and the electronic steering column lock.
