If you ha ve to work underneath the vehi-
cle, use suitable stands to provide extra
support for the vehicle. The jack is not
sufficient for this task and can fail,
which can lead to serious injuries. ant may spray out and cause serious
burns and other injuries.

oped. This also applies to engine oils in the
case of combustion engines. F or this reason,
service fluids and consumables should be re-
placed at a qualified workshop. Volkswagen
dealerships are kept up to date on all
changes. NOTICE
x Only use suitable service fluids f
or refilling.
Never use the wrong service fluid. Failure
to observe this warning can result in seri-
ous malfunctions and engine damage. Leaking service fluids can pollute the
en

vironment. Spilt service fluids must
be collected in suitable containers and dis-
posed of properly and in an environmentally
responsible way. Washer fluid

NOTICE
x Ne ver mix suitable cleaning agents with
other cleaning agents. This can cause the
ingredients to separate and block the
washer jets. Coolant
Introduction to the topic
Do not work on the cooling system unless
you are familiar with the task, aware of the
general saf

ety procedures and have the cor-
rect equipment, service fluids and suitable
tools. Failing to carry out work correctly can
cause serious injuries

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

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

WARNING
Wheels must have the necessary clearance.
If the wheels do not ha ve the necessary
clearance, the tyre could rub on parts of
the running gear, the vehicle body and the
brake lines. This can lead to a fault in the
brake system and to tread separation and
thus to a tyre bursting.
x The actual tyre size must not exceed the
tyre dimensions of manufacturers ap-
proved by Volkswagen and must not rub
on any vehicle body parts. NOTICE
Avoid heavy impacts and drive round obsta-
cles whene
ver possible. Tyres can be de-
formed in particular by potholes and kerb
edges. This can cause damage to the tyres
and wheel rims. NOTICE
Do not damage the valves when fitting dif-
f
erent tyres. Never drive without valve caps.
This could cause damage to the valves. Old tyres should be disposed of prop-
erly and as required by legislation.
If the spare tyre is not the same as the
tyres that are mounted on the car - f

or
example in the case of winter tyres or a tem-
porary spare wheel - only use the spare tyre
in the event of a breakdown for a short peri-
od of time and drive with extra care. Refit the
normal road wheel as soon as possible.
Volkswagen-approved tyres are guar-
anteed to have the dimensions that are
suitable for the vehicle. In the case of other
tyres, the tyre seller must provide a certifi-
cate from the tyre manufacturer stating that
the tyre is also suitable for the vehicle. This
certificate must be stored in a safe place in
the vehicle. Wheel rims and wheel bolts
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 328.
Wheel rims, tyres and wheel bolts are match-
ed to the v

ehicle type. If different wheel rims
are fitted, the correct wheel bolts with the
correct length and correctly shaped bolt
heads must be used. This ensures that the
brakes work properly and that the vehicle
drives quietly and safely.
For technical reasons, it is not generally pos-
sible to use the wheel rims from other vehi-
cles. This can also apply to wheel rims of the
same vehicle type.
The tightening torque of the wheel bolts
must be checked regularly with a properly
functioning torque wrench.

Accessories and parts
V olkswagen recommends that you seek ad-
vice from a Volkswagen dealership before
purchasing accessories, replacement parts or
service fluids, for example if the vehicle is to
be retrofitted with accessories or if parts
have to be renewed. Volkswagen dealerships

ice fluids suitable for your requirements. They
can also answer any questions you might
have regarding official regulations.
Volkswagen recommends that you use only
