Introduction

Due to the constant development of the vehicle, equipment-dependent fuse allocations, and the combined

protection of multiple electrical equipment items using one fuse, a complete overview of the fuse layout is not

available at the time of print. Detailed information about fuse allocations can be obtained from suitably qualified

professionals. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen

Service Facility.

Generally, multiple electrical equipment items can be protected together through by fuse. On the other hand, some

equipment items may use multiple fuses.

Only replace fuses if the cause for the malfunction has been fixed.

1. If a new fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical system checked by suitably qualified

professionals. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen

Service Facility.

WARNING

The high voltage in the electrical system may cause electric shocks and severe burns. Contact with electric wires in

the ignition system may result in serious or fatal injuries.

● Never touch the electrical wires in the ignition system.

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 other fuses in the vehicle. 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.

Overview of Fuses in the Hood Space

The overview shows the fuse positions of the electrical equipment relevant to the driver. The first column of the

overview contains the fuse location; the other columns indicate the rated current, the fuse version, and the protected

electrical equipment.

Depending on the country and equipment of the vehicle, there may be deviations from the fuse numbers and slots

listed in the overview. If necessary, ask for the exact fuse assignment from suitably qualified professionals.

Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Replacing fuses

Fig. 2 Plastic pliers for removing or inserting a fuse

(general example).

1. If present, remove the plastic pliers from either the fuse box or the cover of the relevant fuse box→ fig. 2.

2. Depending on the design of the fuse, slide the appropriately sized clamp on the plastic pliers onto the fuse from

above or from the side.

3. Remove the fuse.

4. If a fuse is blown, replace with a fuse with the same rating(same color and same label) and the same size→

5. After inserting the new fuse, place the plastic pliers back in the cover, if necessary.

6. Reinstall the cover or close the fuse box cover.

.

NOTICE

If a fuse is replaced by a fuse with a higher current rating, this could damage the electrical system in another

location.

● Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher current rating.
