Introduction

For technical reasons the vehicle must not be tow-started→ . If the engine cannot start because the 12 V vehicle

battery is dead, the 12 V vehicle battery on another vehicle can be used to start your vehicle.

For vehicles with a 12 V vehicle battery in the vehicle interior or luggage compartment, the jumper cables may only

be connected to the jump-start points in the hood space.

WARNING

Using jumper cables incorrectly and performing a jump-start incorrectly could cause the 12 V vehicle battery to

explode. Serious injuries may result.

● Always read and heed the warnings and safety precautions before working on the 12 V vehicle battery (→ 12-V

vehicle battery).

● Never confuse the positive battery terminal with the negative battery terminal.

● Never jump-start a vehicle with a frozen or thawed 12 V vehicle battery.

WARNING

During a jump-start, a highly explosive gas mixture builds up at the 12 V vehicle battery. Sparks produced during a

jump-start could ignite the flammable gas. Serious injuries may result.

● Always keep fires, sparks, open flames, and lit cigarettes far away from the 12 V vehicle battery.

● Avoid discharging static electricity near the 12 V vehicle battery.

NOTICE

Tow-starting can cause severe damage to the vehicle.

● Jump-start the vehicle to start the engine.

506

Preparing to jump-start

If the engine cannot be started because the 12 V vehicle battery is drained, another vehicle can jump-start it.

NOTICE

A drained 12 V vehicle battery can freeze at temperatures around approx. 0 °C(approx. +32 °F), suffer damage and

fail.

● Always replace a frozen or thawed 12 V vehicle battery.

Preparations

Observe the following for jump-starting:

—Wear suitable eye protection and safety gloves→

.

—Pay attention to the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of the jump-start cables.

—Open the hood.

—Always use a jumper cable with fully insulated terminal clamps and without any insulation defects for jump-

starting →

.

—Ensure that there is sufficient distance between the vehicle providing the jump-start and the vehicle receiving the

jump-start. If metallic parts of the vehicles come into contact with each other, even just connecting the positive

battery terminals is enough to cause current to flow →

.

—Make sure the terminal clamps have sufficient contact with metal.

WARNING

Performing a jump-start incorrectly can cause the 12 V vehicle battery to explode, which can cause serious injuries.

● Always wear suitable eye protection and safety gloves.

● Never lean over the 12 V vehicle battery.

● Always connect the positive cable first and then the negative cable.

● Never connect the negative terminal to parts of the fuel system or to the brake lines.

● Ensure that there is no contact between the non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps.

● Make sure the cable insulation is free from any defects.

● Make sure that the cable that is connected to the positive battery terminal on the 12 V vehicle battery does not

come into contact with any vehicle components that conduct electricity.

Jumper cable

So that vehicles can be jump-started and can jump-start others, an appropriate jumper cable is required.

2

The cable cross-section of the jumper cables must be at least 25 mm (0,038 in²). The cable cross-section of the

jumper cables for vehicles with diesel engines must be at least 35 mm²(0.054 in²).

Vehicle Receiving Jump-start

1. Check that the discharged 12 V vehicle battery is properly connected to the 12 V vehicle electrical system.

2. If a 12 V vehicle battery with a viewing window has been installed, check the color of the viewing window. If

the viewing window is light yellow or has no color, do not perform a jump-start; instead, contact an authorized

Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Vehicle to be Jump-started

507

1. Pay attention to the operating instructions provided by the vehicle manufacturer.

2. Check that the battery providing the jump-start has the same voltage(12 V) and approximately the same

battery capacity as the dead 12 V vehicle battery. Pay attention to the information printed on the battery of the

vehicle providing the jump-start.

NOTICE

To reduce the risk of damage to the electrical system due to short-circuiting, please note the following:

—If the wheel clearance or the steering function can no longer be secured after an accident.

The easiest and safest way to tow is using a tow bar. You should use a towing cable only if a tow bar is not available.

The towing cable should be elastic to protect both vehicles. Use a cable made of synthetic rubber or a similar elastic

material.

WARNING

The vehicle handling and braking efficiency will change considerably when it is towed. This may cause you to lose

control of the vehicle and result in accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

● Bear in mind that more force is required for steering and braking during towing.

Secure the tow rope or tow bar only at the permitted points:

—Towing lug.

—Ball mount.

WARNING

Vehicle components can be badly damaged by incorrectly attached tow ropes or tow bars. This increases the risk of

accident and could result in serious or fatal injuries.

● Only ever secure the vehicle to be recovered and towed at the points designed for this purpose.

● Never secure the tow rope or the tow bar to axle or suspension components.

● Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility and have the vehicle taken

away on a tow truck, if necessary.

Preparations

—Make sure the tow rope is not twisted. Otherwise it could disconnect from the towing eye while towing.

—Switch the ignition and emergency flashers on in both vehicles. However, do not do this if it is prohibited by law.

—Observe the legal regulations and instructions for towing in the Owner's Manual of the other vehicle.
