WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or bridging a circuit without fuses can lead to serious damage or a fire in the
vehicle. This could result in serious or fatal injuries.
Replace fuses only with fuses of same rating and size. Make sure that the color and label are identical to the faulty
fuse.
Never repair fuses.
Never use metal strips, paper clips or similar objects as substitutes for fuses.
NOTICE
Changing a fuse when the ignition is switched on, the engine is running, the light is switched on, or other electrical
equipment is switched on could cause damage to the electrical system.
Switch off the engine and turn off the light and other electrical equipment.
Make sure that the engine cannot be started while a fuse is being replaced.
NOTICE
If a fuse is replaced by another fuse with a higher amp rating, this could also damage the vehicle's electrical system in
another location.
Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher current rating.
NOTICE
Dirt and moisture in the fuse boxes can damage the electrical system.
Protect open fuse boxes from dirt and moisture.
Avoid short circuits in the electrical system.
Check that the fuse box covers are tightly sealed again and are not damaged.
There are more fuses in the vehicle than are specified in this chapter. These should only be replaced by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility qualified in this respect. Volkswagen recommends contacting
an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
