WARNING
Insufficient anti-freeze in the cooling sys-
tem of the v ehicle can cause the electric
drive to break down and thereby cause se-
rious injuries.
x The amount of correct coolant additive
used must be sufficient for the lowest
ambient temperature that you expect
the vehicle to be exposed to.
x Coolant can freeze at extremely cold
outside temperatures, causing the vehi-
cle to break down. Vehicle occupants
with inadequate winter clothing could
then freeze to death as the heating will
also no longer function. NOTICE
Never mix genuine coolant additives with
other coolants that ha
ve not been approved
by Volkswagen.
x If the liquid in the coolant expansion tank
is not pink (colouring results from mixing
the purple coolant additive with distilled
water) but for example brown instead of
purple, the suitable coolant has been
mixed with an unsuitable coolant additive.
The coolant must be changed as soon as
possible if this is the case. Failure to ob-
serve this warning can result in serious
malfunctions or damage to the electric
drive and cooling system. Coolant and coolant additives can pol-
lute the en

vironment. Spilt service flu-
ids must be collected and disposed of proper-
ly and with respect for the environment. Checking the coolant level
and refilling coolant

cooling system when the engine is hot and
could cause damage.
x If a large amount of coolant has been lost,
do not refill the coolant until the engine
has cooled completely. Hea
vy coolant loss
is an indication of leaks in the cooling sys-
tem. The cooling system should be
checked by a qualified workshop as soon
as possible. Failure to do so can result in
engine damage.
x Do not refill coolant if there is no more
coolant in the coolant expansion tank. Air
could have entered the cooling system. Do
not drive on! Seek expert assistance. Fail-
ure to do so can result in engine damage.
x When refilling service fluids, please ensure
that you pour the correct service fluids in-
to the correct openings. The use of incor-
rect service fluids can result in serious
malfunctions and damage to the electric
drive. Troubleshooting
Please refer to , and on page 309
and at the start of the chapter on page
315. Coolant

x
The refilled brake fluid must be new. NOTICE
Brake fluid that has leaked or been spilt can
damage the v ehicle paintwork, plastic parts
and tyres. Wipe off brake fluid that has
leaked or been spilled immediately from all
parts of the vehicle. Brake fluid can pollute the environ-
ment. Any spilt service fluids must be
cleaned up and disposed of properly. 12-volt vehicle battery
Introduction to the topic
The 12-
volt vehicle battery is a component of
the electrical system and in event of the
high-voltage system failing, supplies the
safety-relevant systems of the vehicle with
energy. In the scope of maintenance work,
the 12-volt vehicle battery is checked and
where required, replaced.
You should only carry out work on the electri-
cal system if you know exactly how to per-
form the required tasks, are aware of the
general safety procedures and have access to
the correct equipment, service fluids and
suitable tools. Failing to carry out work cor-
rectly can cause serious injuries

cle do not interact in any other ways than
those described here, in particular the de
vice
does not actively access vehicle data. The
type of further data processing depends on
the app provider. The settings that you can
adjust here depend on the app in question
and the operating system on your mobile de-
vice.
Online services
If your vehicle is equipped with a connection
to a mobile network, your vehicle will be able
to exchange data with other systems. The ve-
hicle can be connected to a mobile network
using a transmitter and receiver unit in the
vehicle or using your own mobile device. This
mobile network connection enables you to
use online functions. This includes online
services and apps provided by Volkswagen or
other third-party providers.
Manufacturer services

Volkswagen describes the respective func-
tions in a suitable place, e.g. in a separate
service description or on an Internet page,
and the associated privacy information is
provided. Personal data may be required in
order to provide online services. For this, data
is exchanged over a secure connection, e.g.
using the designated IT systems of the manu-
facturer. Any collection, processing and use
of personal data that goes beyond the provi-
sion of the service takes place exclusively ac-
cording to legal regulations, contractual
