2020 VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 bonnet

oped. This also applies to engine oils in the
case of combustion engines. F or this reason,
service fluids and consumables should be re-
placed at a qualified workshop. Volkswagen
dealerships are kept up to date on all
changes. WARNING
Unsuitable service fluids and consumables,
and the incorrect use of these fluids and
consumables, can cause accidents, serious
injuries, burns or poisoning.
x Service fluids must be kept in their origi-
nal sealed container.
x Ne

ver store service fluids in empty food
containers, bottles or any other non-
original containers as people finding
these containers could drink them.
x Keep children away from all service flu-
ids and consumables.
x Always read and follow the information
and warnings on the service fluid pack-
aging.
x When using products that give off harm-
ful fumes, always work outdoors or in
a well-ventilated area. NOTICE
x Only use suitable service fluids f
or refilling.
Never use the wrong service fluid. Failure
to observe this warning can result in seri-
ous malfunctions and engine damage. Leaking service fluids can pollute the
en

vironment. Spilt service fluids must
be collected in suitable containers and dis-
posed of properly and in an environmentally
responsible way. Washer fluid
Fig. 178
In the bonnet space: cap of washer
fluid reserv
oir.
The washer fluid level should be checked reg-
ularly and refilled as necessary.
There is a strainer in the filler throat of the
washer fluid reservoir. The strainer keeps
large dirt particles away from the washer jets
when refilling. The strainer should only be re-
moved for cleaning. If the strainer is dam-
aged or is not present when refilling, dirt par-
ticles can enter the system and block the
washer jets.

WARNING
Insufficient anti-freeze in the cooling sys-
tem of the v ehicle can cause the electric
drive to break down and thereby cause se-
rious injuries.
x The amount of correct coolant additive
used must be sufficient for the lowest
ambient temperature that you expect
the vehicle to be exposed to.
x Coolant can freeze at extremely cold
outside temperatures, causing the vehi-
cle to break down. Vehicle occupants
with inadequate winter clothing could
then freeze to death as the heating will
also no longer function. NOTICE
Never mix genuine coolant additives with
other coolants that ha
ve not been approved
by Volkswagen.
x If the liquid in the coolant expansion tank
is not pink (colouring results from mixing
the purple coolant additive with distilled
water) but for example brown instead of
purple, the suitable coolant has been
mixed with an unsuitable coolant additive.
The coolant must be changed as soon as
possible if this is the case. Failure to ob-
serve this warning can result in serious
malfunctions or damage to the electric
drive and cooling system. Coolant and coolant additives can pol-
lute the en

vironment. Spilt service flu-
ids must be collected and disposed of proper-
ly and with respect for the environment. Checking the coolant level
and refilling coolant
Please refer to , and on page 309
and at the start of the chapter on page
315. Fig. 179
