Changing the bulb
7.Turn the bulb holder anticlockwise as far as it will go and carefully pull it out of the tail 
light cluster together with the bulb.
9.Replace the defective bulb with a new bulb of the same type.
10.Carefully insert the bulb holder into the tail light cluster and turn it anticlockwise until 
the bulb holder engages.
Fitting the tail light cluster
11.Carefully put the tail light cluster into the opening in the body.
12.Use one hand to hold the tail light in the fitting position while using the other hand to 
screw the securing bolt firmly back in ⇒ Fig. 207③.
13.Check that the tail light cluster is positioned correctly and securely.
14.Connect the connector to the bulb holder and press into place.
15.Close the section of side trim in the luggage compartment near the tail light cluster 
against the direction of the arrow
16.Close the boot lid ⇒ Boot lid.
The illustrations show the left-hand tail light cluster. The right-hand tail light cluster housing is 
a mirror image of the one shown.
There are various types of tail light cluster, so the position and design of covers, bulbs and 
bulb holders may vary from those shown in the illustrations.
In tail light clusters with LEDs, some light elements may be fitted with normal bulbs. These 
bulbs can be changed.
Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Lighting
Vehicle lighting not working partially or completely. A separate display appears in the 
instrument cluster if there is a cornering light fault.A trailer turn signal or all trailer lights have 
stopped working.
Check the exterior lighting and change the appropriate bulb as required ⇒ Changing bulbs. If all 
bulbs are OK or there is a fault in the dynamic cornering light, go to a qualified workshop.
Monitoring the lights on a connected trailer
For vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket, the vehicle will also monitor certain bulbs on a 
trailer which has been connected properly via the trailer socket.
If a trailer turn signal or all the trailer lights fail, the indicator lamp  in the instrument cluster will 
go out.
Changing fuses
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Fuses in the dash panel
⇒ Fuses in the engine compartment
⇒ Fuse table for fuses in the dash panel
⇒ Fuse tables for fuses in the engine compartment
⇒ Changing a blown fuse
At the time of print 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 depending on the vehicle equipment level and because several 
consumers may use a single fuse. You can get more information about the fuse layout from a 
Volkswagen dealership.
Several electrical consumers could 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 insertion, have the electrical system checked by a qualified workshop as 
soon as possible.
