Changing a blown fuse
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.

NOTICE
When filling or changing service fluids, please ensure that the correct service fluids are filled through
the correct openings. The use of incorrect service fluids could result in serious malfunctions and
engine damage.

Service fluids that leak from the vehicle are harmful to the environment. For this reason, you should
regularly check the ground underneath your vehicle. If there are spots of oil or other fluids on the
ground, the vehicle should be inspected by a qualified workshop. Any spilt service fluids must be
disposed of properly.

Washer fluid

The washer fluid level should be checked regularly and topped up as necessary.
A strainer is located in the neck of the washer fluid reservoir. The strainer keeps large dirt particles
away from the windscreen washer jets when refilling. The strainer should be removed for only
cleaning. If the strainer is damaged or is not present when refilling, dirt particles can enter the
system and block the washer jets.

Engine oil
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Engine oil standards
Changing engine oil
Engine oil consumption
Checking the engine oil level and refilling the engine oil
Troubleshooting
The engine oils are not only tailored to the requirements of engines and exhaust gas treatment
systems, but also to fuel quality. Due to the way in which a combustion engine works, engine oil
always comes into contact with combustion residues and fuel, which has corresponding effects on
the ageing process of the oil. The correct engine oil is important for the function and service life of
the engine. A special multigrade high-lubricity oil has been filled at the factory and this can normally
be used as an all-season oil.

You can check whether your vehicle is equipped for the Flexible Service QI6 (Longlife) or Fixed
Service QI1, QI2, QI3, QI4, QI7 (dependent on time or mileage) in the vehicle data Technical data
or on the inside cover of this owner's manual.

particulate filter. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
2) Using VW 504 00 instead of VW 508 00 may cause the vehicle's emissions values to increase
slightly.

The engine oil and filter change should be carried out by a qualified workshop due to the special
tools and knowledge required, this also applies to the disposal of used oil. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
More details on the service intervals can be found in the chapter on service Service
Additives in the engine oil can cause new engine oil to discolour quickly. This is normal and does not
mean that the engine oil should be changed more frequently.

WARNING
If, in exceptional cases, you have to carry out an oil change yourself, please observe the following:

from running down your arm.

l in empty food containers, bottles or any other non-original containers as
people finding these containers may not know that they contain engine oil.


Before changing the engine oil, first find out where old oil can be disposed of properly near you.

Used oil must be disposed of in accordance with regulations governing the protection of the
environment. Never dispose of used oil in locations such as gardens, woods, sewerage systems, on
streets and roads, or in rivers and waterways.
Engine oil consumption
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Engine oil consumption can vary from engine to engine and can change during the service life of an
engine.
The vehicle may consume up to 1.0 litre of engine oil per 2,000 km, depending on your driving style
and the conditions in which the car is used. In new vehicles, consumption may be higher for the first
5,000 km. The engine oil level must therefore be checked at regular intervals, preferably each time
the vehicle is refuelled and before long journeys.
