Additional bulb specifications
Some bulbs in headlights or in tail light clusters might have factory specifications that are different to
standard bulbs. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.

WARNING
Accidents can occur if roads are not sufficiently illuminated and other road users have difficulty
seeing the vehicle, or cannot see it at all.

WARNING
Changing bulbs incorrectly can cause accidents and serious injuries.

do, the work should be carried out by a qualified workshop.
heat will cause fingerprints to evaporate on the bulb, which in turn will cause the reflector to go
blind.
-edged parts in the headlight housing in the engine compartment and on the tail
light cluster housing. Protect your hands when changing bulbs.

NOTICE
Damage to the electrical system can be caused by water entering the system if the rubber cover or
plastic covers on the headlight housing are not properly mounted after a bulb has been changed.
Checklist Information on changing bulbs

bulb would cause the remaining fingerprint to evaporate and be deposited on the reflector. This will
impair the light output of the headlight.

After changing a bulb, check to ensure that the bulb is working properly. If the bulb is not working
properly, the bulb may not have been inserted properly, may have failed again, or the connector
may have been fitted incorrectly.

Any time you change a bulb at the front of the vehicle, the headlight settings should be checked by a
qualified workshop.

WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and severe injuries.


NOTICE
Always take care when removing or fitting lights to prevent damage to the paintwork or to other
vehicle parts.

Changing the bulbs in the headlights (lights with LED technology)
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
These lamps use LED technology. The LEDs cannot be replaced by customers. If some LEDs fail, this
may be an indication that more elements are on the point of failure. In this case, have the lights
checked and renewed if necessary at a qualified workshop.
Changing the front turn signal bulbs

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The actions should only be carried out in the specified order:
Observe and follow the instructions in the checklist Checklist Information on changing

Fuses in the engine compartment

Changing a blown fuse
At the time of publication we are unable to provide an complete overview of the locations of the
fuses for the electrical consumers. This is because the vehicle is under constant development,
because fuses are assigned differently according to the vehicle equipment level and because several
electrical consumers may use a single fuse. You can obtain more information about the fuse
assignment from a Volkswagen dealership.
Several electrical consumers can 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 fitting, have the electrical system checked by a qualified workshop.

WARNING
High voltages in the electrical system can cause electric shocks, serious burns and death.



WARNING
Using unsuitable or repaired fuses and bridging an electrical circuit without fuses can cause a fire
and serious injuries.
