Some models are delivered without a factory-fitted jack or box spanner. If this is the case, the wheel should be changed by a qualified workshop.
The vehicle jack supplied with the vehicle is only designed for changing a wheel when one vehicle tyre is damaged and has to be replaced. Seek ex-pert assistance if both tyres on one side of the ve-hicle, both tyres on one axle, or all tyres are dam-aged.
Only change the wheel yourself when the car is parked in a safe place, you are familiar with the necessary steps and safety procedures and you have access to all the correct tools. Seek expert assistance if this is not the case.

Preparations for changing a wheel
1"1'11 First read and observe the introductory L-1o:.U information and safety warnings & on page 420.
Checklist
The following actions must always be carried out in the given order in preparation for changing the wheel=>&:
1. In the event of a flat tyre, park your vehicle on a firm and level surface at a safe dis-tance from the flow of traffic.
2. Apply the handbrake =>page 269.
420 I If and when
A wARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, espe-cially when carried out at the side of a road. Please note the following steps in order to re-duce the risk of serious injuries:
• Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so. Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic in order to carry out the wheel change.
• All passengers and children in particular must be at a safe distance and away from your area of work during the wheel change.
• Switch on the hazard warning lights to warn other road users.
• Check that the surface the vehicle Is parked on Is level and firm. If necessary use a large, strong board or similar support for the vehicle jack.
• Only change the wheel yourself if you feel confident carrying out the procedure. If not, seek expert assistance.
• Always use suitable and undamaged tools to change the wheel.
• Always switch off the engine, apply the handbrake and move the selector lever to the position P or select a gear on a manual gear-box in order to reduce the risk of unintended vehicle movement.
• The wheel bolt tightening torque should be checked with a torque wrench immediately after changing a wheel. 3. With a DSG® dual clutch gearbox, move the selector lever to position P =>page 260.
4. Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition =>page 257.
5. Manual gearbox: select a gear =>page 260.
6. Make sure all vehicle occupants exit the ve-hicle and move to safety, for instance be-hind the safety barrier.
7. Chock the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being worked on with a stone or a similar object. ""

• Clean the area around the fastening holes of the spare wheel.
• Position the spare wheel.
• Insert the anti-theft wheel bolt using the adapter at position 298 @or® and tighten it slight-ly.
• Screw in all the other wheel bolts in a clockwise direction and use the box spanner to tighten them gently.
• Lower the vehicle with the jack.
• Use the box spanner to tighten all the wheel bolts securely in a clockwise direction &. Do not tighten the bolts in clockwise or anticlockwise se-quence. Tighten them in diagonal sequence.
• Fit the cover caps, centre covers or wheel cov-ers 417.
After changing a wheel
rl'l1 First read and observe the Introductory L-.lo:.ll Information and safety warnings & on page 420.
• If necessary, clean the vehicle tools and stow them safely in the vehicle 416.
• Stow the spare wheel or the removed wheel safely under the vehicle.

You can use the breakdown set (tyre mobility set) to safely seal any tyre damage caused by foreign bodies or punctures (up to 4 mm (0.16 Inches) in diameter). Do not remove foreign objects (e.g. screws or nails) from the tyrel
Once the sealant has been added to the tyre, the tyre pressure must be checked again after approxi-mately 10 minutes of driving.
,A WARNING
Incorrect torque or incorrect use of wheel bolts can lead to a loss of control of the vehi-cle, cause accidents and serious Injuries.
• Always keep all wheel bolts and threads In the wheel hubs clean and free from oil and grease. The wheel bolts must be easy to turn and be tightened to the specified torque.
• The hexagonal socket In the screwdriver handle should only be used for turning wheel bolts, not use for loosening or tightening them. • The tightening torque of the wheel bolts should be checked immediately with a torque wrench opage 421.
• The damaged wheel should be replaced as soon as possible.
m In vehicles with a tyre monitoring system, the L!..J system may have to "re-learn" if new tyres are fitted 318. Seek expert assistance if more than one vehicle tyre is damaged. The breakdown set is only de-signed for filling one tyre.
Only use the breakdown set if the car is parked in a safe place, you are familiar with the required ac-tions and safety procedures, and you have access to the correct breakdown set. Seek expert assis-tance if this is not the case.
The tyre sealant must not be used:
• If the rim is damaged.
• If the outside temperature is below -2o•c (-4 ·F).
• If there are cuts or punctures in the tyre that are larger than 4 mm. .,.
Practical tips 425

• If the tyre pressure is very low or the tyres are flat.
• If the use-by date on the tyre filler bottle has ex-pired.

A WARNING
Using the breakdown set can be dangerous, especially if the tyres are inflated at the road-side. Please note the following points In or-der to reduce the risk of serious injuries:
• Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so. Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic in order to fill the tyre.
• Check that the surface the vehicle is parked on is level and firm.
• All passengers, and children in particular, must be at a safe distance and away from your area of work.

Changing the vehicle bulbs requires considerable technical skill. Therefore if you do not feel confi-dent with the procedure. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends having the bulbs changed by a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership or other professional assistance. You must contact a qualified workshop if other vehicle parts around the lights need to be removed or LED lights need to be replaced.
You should keep a box with spare light bulbs for the lights that ensure the vehicle is roadworthy in the vehicle at all times. Spare bulbs are available from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealers. In some countries it is a legal requirement to have these spare bulbs in the vehicle.
lt may be illegal to drive with a defective bulb in the exterior lighting.
4321 If and when
• Pull out the blown fuse.
• If the fuse has blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amp rating (same colour and same markings) and same size
• Replace the cover.
