♦ Torque wrench -V.A.G 1331-

Note

♦ In vehicles with a battery sensor (start/stop system), the bat‐

tery has to be parametrised after a new starter battery has

been installed ⇒ page 10 .

♦ The battery parametrisation sends the technical data of the

new battery to the battery monitor.

WARNING

Always make sure to comply with the warning notices and

safety regulations when working on the battery ⇒ Electrical

system, General information; Rep. gr. 27; Battery.

Removing
