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.

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.

This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Jump lead connection point (earth connection) 
⇒ Jump starting the vehicle 
If the engine fails to start because the 12-volt vehicle battery is flat, the discharged battery can be
connected to the 12-volt battery of another vehicle to start the engine.
Suitable jump leads are needed for jump starting.
2 for vehicles with petrol engines.


WARNING
Using the jump leads incorrectly or performing the jump start procedure incorrectly can cause the
12-volt vehicle battery to explode, which can lead to severe injuries. Please note the following in
order to reduce the risk of the 12-volt vehicle battery exploding:
-volt vehicle battery and the electrical system can cause serious chemical burns,
fire or electric shocks. Always read the warnings and safety information before carrying out any kind
of work on the 12-volt vehicle battery ⇒ 12-volt vehicle battery .

rectly.


NOTICE
Please note the following in order to avoid considerable damage to the vehicle electrical system:

Suitable earth connection: preferably the jump lead connection point (earth connection), a
solid metal part which is securely bolted onto the cylinder block, or the cylinder block itself.
The discharged 12-volt vehicle battery must be properly connected to the vehicle's electrical system.
The vehicles must not touch. Otherwise electricity could flow as soon as the positive terminals are
connected.
Ensure that the battery clamps have good metal-to-metal contact with the battery terminals.
If the engine does not start immediately, switch off the starter after about 10 seconds and try again
after about a minute.
If the engine still does not start, seek expert assistance.
Attaching the jump leads
The jump leads should be connected only in the order A – B – C – D⇒ Fig. 177 .
The black jump lead should never be connected to the negative terminal (–) on the 12-volt vehicle
battery. Connecting the lead to the negative terminal can cause incorrect condition evaluation of the
12-volt vehicle battery in the vehicle electronics.
