WARNING
Worn or dirty windscreen wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and severe injuries.
● Always clean dirty wiper blades.
● Always change the wiper blades if they are damaged or worn and no longer clean the windscreen properly.
NOTICE
Cleaning the wiper blades or windows with unsuitable cleaning agents can cause damage.
● Do not use fuel, nail varnish remover, paint thinner or similar liquids to clean the wiper blades and windows.
● Do not clean the wiper blades with hard sponges and other sharp objects.
If wax residue from car washes and other care products remains on the vehicle windows, this can cause the wipers to rub.
Remove wax residue using a special cleaning product or cleaning cloths.
Before changing a bulb, check whether a bulb or LED light unit has failed. You can normally change bulbs yourself. If the exterior
lighting uses 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 individual LEDs fail, this may be an indication that other LEDs are on the point of failure too. In this case,
have the LED light units checked and renewed if necessary at a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an
authorised Volkswagen repairer.
It may be illegal to drive with faulty exterior lights.
Additional bulb specifications
Some bulbs might have factory specifications that differ from standard bulbs. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the
glass part or on the base.
