WARNING
Objects that are not secured, or are secured incorrectly, can cause serious injuries in the event of a
sudden driving or braking manoeuvre or accident. This applies particularly if objects are struck by an
airbag when activated and then flung through the vehicle interior. Please observe the following rules
to reduce the risk of accidents:
Always stow all objects in the vehicle securely.
Small and light objects should also be secured.
Objects should be stowed in the vehicle interior in such a way that they can never enter the airbag
deployment zones while the vehicle is in motion.
Always keep stowage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion.
Stowed objects must never cause passengers to assume an incorrect sitting position.
If an item is being stowed on a seat, this seat must not be used by any passengers.
Do not stow any hard, heavy or sharp objects loose in any of the vehicle's open stowage areas, on
the surface behind the rear seat backrest or on the dash panel.
Remove any hard, heavy or sharp objects from items of clothing and bags inside the vehicle and
stow them securely.

WARNING
Transporting heavy objects changes the vehicle's handling and increases the braking distance. Heavy
loads that are not properly stowed or secured in the vehicle can lead to a loss of vehicle control and
can cause serious injury.

Retrofitting a towing bracket
Only use a towing bracket which has been approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle type. Always
check and observe the data provided by the towing bracket manufacturer.

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.

Additional bulb specifications
Some bulbs in headlights or in tail light clusters might have factory specifications that are different to
standard bulbs. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.

WARNING
Accidents can occur if roads are not sufficiently illuminated and other road users have difficulty
seeing the vehicle, or cannot see it at all.

WARNING
Changing bulbs incorrectly can cause accidents and serious injuries.
⇒ In the
engine compartment . The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a dangerous area. Serious
injuries can be sustained here.

do, the work should be carried out by a qualified workshop.
heat will cause fingerprints to evaporate on the bulb, which in turn will cause the reflector to go
blind.
-edged parts in the headlight housing in the engine compartment and on the tail
light cluster housing. Protect your hands when changing bulbs.

NOTICE
Damage to the electrical system can be caused by water entering the system if the rubber cover or
plastic covers on the headlight housing are not properly mounted after a bulb has been changed.
Checklist Information on changing bulbs

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Checklist
Always carry out the following actions for changing a bulb in the given order ⇒ :

Park the vehicle on a firm and level surface at a safe distance from the flow of traffic.

Switch on the electronic parking brake Electronic parking brake.

Turn the light switch to position 0 Switching lights on and off.

Follow the instructions to change the affected bulb . Always replace bulbs with identical bulbs of the
same type. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.

Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with unprotected fingers. When switched on, the heat of the
bulb would cause the remaining fingerprint to evaporate and be deposited on the reflector. This will
impair the light output of the headlight.

After changing a bulb, check to ensure that the bulb is working properly. If the bulb is not working
properly, the bulb may not have been inserted properly, may have failed again, or the connector
may have been fitted incorrectly.

Any time you change a bulb at the front of the vehicle, the headlight settings should be checked by a
qualified workshop.

WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and severe injuries.


NOTICE
Always take care when removing or fitting lights to prevent damage to the paintwork or to other
vehicle parts.
