Charging, replacing, disconnecting and connecting the 12-volt vehicle battery
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
If you suspect that the 12-volt vehicle battery is damaged or faulty, go to a qualified workshop and
have the 12-volt vehicle battery checked.
Charging the 12-volt vehicle battery
The 12-volt vehicle battery should be charged by a qualified workshop, as the technology used in
factory-fitted 12-volt vehicle batteries requires voltage-limited charging
recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Replacing the 12-volt vehicle battery
The 12-volt vehicle battery has been developed to suit the conditions of its installation location and
has special safety features. If a 12-volt vehicle battery has to be replaced, find out about the
electromagnetic compatibility, size and necessary maintenance, power and safety requirements for
the new 12-volt vehicle battery at a Volkswagen dealership before purchase. The ventilation opening
of the vehicle battery must always be on the negative terminal side: the ventilation opening on the
positive terminal side must always be sealed.
Only maintenance-free vehicle batteries compliant with the standards TL 825 06 and VW 7 50 73
should be used. These standards must be dated October 2014 or later.
Always have the 12-volt vehicle battery replaced by a qualified workshop, as the vehicle electronics
must be adapted as part of the replacement process. Only qualified workshops have the technology
required to carry out this adjustment correctly. Volkswagen recommends that the 12-volt vehicle
battery is replaced by a Volkswagen dealership.
Disconnecting the 12-volt vehicle battery
Please observe the following if the 12-volt vehicle battery has to be disconnected from the electrical
system in the vehicle:

Various indicator lamps may light up after the 12-volt vehicle battery has been connected and the
ignition is switched on. They will go out when you drive a short distance at a speed of approximately
15 20 km/h (10 12 mph). If the indicator lamps remain lit up, the vehicle should be checked by a
qualified workshop.

Automatic switch-off for electrical consumers
The intelligent vehicle electrical system management function automatically implements a range of
measures to prevent the 12-volt vehicle battery from discharging under high loads:


power supply to the 12-volt socket and the cigarette lighter may be interrupted temporarily
while the engine is being started.
The vehicle electrics management system cannot always prevent the 12-volt vehicle battery from
being discharged, for example if the ignition is left on over a long period with the engine off or the
side lights or parking lights are left on over a long period of time.

Tyre monitoring system
Introduction

Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator
Troub
The tyre monitoring system warns the driver when the tyre pressures are too low.
The tyre monitoring system monitors various parameters (for example, rolling circumference) of all
wheels using ABS sensors (indirect measurement).

WARNING
The intelligent tyre monitoring system technology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Incorrect handling of the wheels and tyres can lead to
a sudden loss of pressure in the tyres, tread separation and even tyre blow-out.

amage.


If the tyre pressure is too low, this will increase fuel consumption and tyre wear.

When new tyres are driven at high speeds for the first time, they can expand slightly and trigger a
one-off pressure warning.

Old tyres should be replaced only by tyres that have been approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle
type.

Do not rely solely on the tyre monitoring system. Check your tyres regularly to ensure that they are
properly inflated and have no signs of damage, such as punctures, cuts, cracks, and blisters. Remove
any objects that become embedded in the tyre tread but have not penetrated into the body of the
tyre itself.
Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Functional description
The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator uses data from the ABS sensors and other functions to compare the
speed of rotation and the rolling circumference of the individual wheels.
The rolling circumference can change:

The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator may react with a delay or not display anything at all in the event
of a sporty driving style, when driving on snow-covered or icy roads or unpaved roads or when
driving with snow chains.

Troubleshooting

After a warning about the tyre pressure being too low, switch the ignition off and then back on
again. The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator can be re-synchronised only after this has been done.

The tyres are the most heavily loaded and most underestimated parts of a vehicle. Tyres are very
important as the narrow tyre contact surfaces are the only contact between the vehicle and the
road.
The service life of tyres is dependent on tyre pressure, driving style, handling and correct fitting.

New tyres or tyres which are old, worn down or damaged cannot provide full vehicle control and
braking efficiency.
