If you notice misfiring, loss of power or uneven running when driving, reduce speed immediately and
have the vehicle checked by a qualified workshop ⇒ Troubleshooting . Otherwise unburnt fuel can
enter the exhaust system and escape into the atmosphere. The catalytic converter can also be
damaged by overheating.

The emissions may have a sulphur-like smell even when the exhaust purification system is working
properly.

Periodic regeneration
The soot in the particulate filter is burnt off at high temperatures on a periodic basis.
To assist the regeneration of the particulate filter, Volkswagen recommends that you avoid making
only short journeys.
Noises, slight smells and increased engine speeds may occur during regeneration. The radiator fan
may run on while the vehicle is moving or when the engine has been switched off.

During the periodic regeneration process, the yellow indicator lamp does not light up.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Stowage 
⇒ Vehicle toolkit contents 
Observe any country-specific legislation when securing your vehicle in the event of a breakdown.
Vehicle toolkit in the vehicle
In vehicles that are factory-fitted with a spare wheel, emergency spare wheel or winter wheels,
additional vehicle tools may be located in the luggage compartment.

WARNING
In the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre or accident, a loose vehicle toolkit,
breakdown set and spare wheel or temporary spare wheel could be flung though the vehicle and
cause severe injuries.

WARNING
Unsuitable or damaged tools in the vehicle toolkit can lead to accidents and injuries.

Stowage

NOTICE
Never drop the luggage compartment floor; guide it slowly back down. The trims or the luggage
compartment floor could otherwise be damaged.

After using the vehicle jack, crank it back to its original position so that it can be stowed safely.

Changing bulbs
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Checklist  
⇒ Changing bulbs in the front headlights (halogen bulbs) 
⇒ Changing the bulbs in the headlights (lights with LED technology) 
⇒ Changing the front turn signal bulbs 
⇒ Changing bulbs in the front bumper 
⇒ Changing bulbs in the tail light clusters (LED lights) 
⇒ Changing bulbs in the number plate light (LED lights) 
⇒ Troubleshooting 
Changing the vehicle bulbs requires a certain amount of technical skill. Volkswagen therefore
recommends having bulbs replaced by a qualified workshop if you are uncertain. The work must be
performed by an expert if other vehicle parts around the affected bulbs need to be removed.
Volkswagen recommends having bulbs replaced by a Volkswagen dealership.
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 dealerships. In some countries it
is a legal requirement to have these spare bulbs in the vehicle.
It may be illegal to drive with defective lights of the exterior lighting.
Information on indicator and warning lamps can be found in the troubleshooting section at the end
of the chapter ⇒ Troubleshooting .
LED lights on the vehicle
The exterior lighting may feature LEDs: Owners cannot replace the LEDs themselves. 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 replaced if necessary at a qualified workshop.
