WARNING
Worn or dirty wiper blades reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and serious injuries.
Always replace wiper blades if they are damaged or worn and are no longer cleaning the windshield sufficiently.
NOTICE
Damaged or dirty wiper blades can scratch the window glass.
Do not use any cleaning materials containing solvents, hard sponges, and other sharp-edged objects because they can damage the graphite coating on
the wiper blades.
Do not clean the windshield and windows with fuel, nail polish remover, paint thinner, or other similar fluids.
If there is wax residue on the windshield and rear window from car wash systems and other products, this can cause wipers to rub. Remove any wax residue
with a special cleaner or cleaning towels.
Exterior lighting
Introduction
Before changing a light bulb, check if it is an incandescent bulb or an LED light. Generally, light bulbs can be replaced by yourself. If the exterior lighting on your
vehicle is equipped with LED technology, it is not possible to change LED lights or individual LEDs by yourself. The malfunction of individual LEDs may be an
indication that more LEDs will malfunction. If this is the case, have the LEDs checked and/or replaced if necessary by suitably qualified professionals. Volkswagen
recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Driving with exterior lighting that is inoperative may be against the law.
Additional bulb specifications
Some bulbs in the headlights or in the taillights may have certain manufacturer specifications that differ from conventional light bulbs. The respective name will be
on the bulb socket or glass bulb.
