WARNING
Worn or dirty wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and severe injuries.
● Always change windscreen wiper blades if they are damaged or worn and no longer clean the windscreen
properly.
NOTICE
Damaged or dirty windscreen wipers can scratch the windscreen.
● Do not use any detergents containing solvents, hard sponges or other sharp objects, as they can damage the
graphite coating of the wiper blades during cleaning.
● Do not use nail varnish remover, paint thinner or similar products to clean the windows.
Introduction
Before changing bulbs, check whether a bulb or an LED light unit has failed. You can normally change bulbs yourself.
If the exterior lighting is realised using LED technology (depending on model and vehicle equipment), it is not possible
for you to change the LED light units or individual LEDs yourself. If some LEDs fail, this may be an indication that
more LEDs are on the point of failure. If this happens, have the lights checked and renewed if necessary at a qualified
workshop.
You should keep a box with spare light bulbs for the lights that ensure the vehicle is roadworthy in the vehicle at all
times. Spare bulbs are available from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealers. In some countries it is a legal
requirement to have these spare bulbs in the vehicle.
It may be illegal to drive with a defective bulb in the exterior lighting.
Additional bulb specification
Some bulbs in headlights or in tail light clusters might have factory specifications that are different to standard bulbs.
The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.
WARNING
Accidents will occur if roads are not sufficiently illuminated and other road users have difficulty seeing the vehicle,
or cannot see it at all.
