Get In an emergency -> Fuses Guide for Volkswagen Up 4 Door First Generation (2011-2019)

•

Insert the plug ⇒ Fig. 157⑨ into one of the vehicle's 12-volt sockets ⇒ Socket.

Use the on/off switch ⇒ Fig. 157⑧ to switch on the air compressor.

Run the compressor until the tyre pressure has reached 2.0 – 2.5 bar (29 – 36 psi / 200 –

250 kPa) ⇒

. The maximum running time is 8 minutes⇒

•

Switch off the air compressor.

If a pressure level of 2.0 – 2.5 bar (29 – 36 psi / 200 – 250 kPa) cannot be achieved unscrew

the tyre filler hose from the tyre valve.

•

Drive (or reverse) the vehicle approximately 10 metres so that the sealing compound is more

evenly distributed in the tyre.

Screw the tyre filler hose for the air compressor firmly back onto the tyre valve and inflate the

tyre again.

If the required pressure still cannot be reached, the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre cannot

be sealed with the breakdown set. Do not drive on. Seek expert assistance ⇒

•

Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew the tyre filler hose from the tyre valve.

Drive the vehicle no faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) once a tyre pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar

(29 – 36 psi / 200 – 250 kPa) has been reached.

•

Check the tyre pressure after driving for 10 minutes⇒ Test after driving for 10 minutes.

WARNING

The tyre filler hose and the air compressor can get hot during inflation.

•

Protect your hands and skin from the hot components.

Do not place the hot tyre filler hose or the hot air compressor on any inflammable

materials.

•

Allow the device to cool down fully before stowing.

If the tyre will not inflate to at least 2.0 bar (29 psi / 200 kPa), the tyre is too damaged. The

sealant is unable to seal the tyre. Do not drive on. Seek expert assistance.

NOTICE

Switch the air compressor off after a maximum of 8 minutes to avoid overheating. Let the air

compressor cool down for a few minutes before switching it back on.

Test after driving for 10 minutes

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒

Introduction

Reconnect the tyre filler hose ⇒ Fig. 157⑤ and check the tyre pressure on the tyre pressure

display ⑥.

1.3 bar (19 psi / 130 kPa) and lower:

•

Do not drive on! The tyre cannot be sealed adequately with the breakdown set.

•

Seek expert assistance ⇒

1.4 bar (20 psi / 140 kPa) and higher:

•

Set the tyre pressure back to the correct value ⇒ Wheels and tyres.

•

Resume your journey to the nearest qualified workshop. Do not exceed a maximum speed of

80 km/h (50 mph).

•

Have the damaged tyre replaced at the workshop.

WARNING

Driving with an unsealed tyre is dangerous as it can cause accidents and serious injuries.

•

Do not carry on driving if the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar (19 psi / 130 kPa) or lower.

Seek expert assistance.

Fuses

Introduction

This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:

⇒ Fuses in the vehicle

⇒ Changing a blown fuse

At the time of print we are unable to provide an up-to-date overview of the locations of the fuses for

the electrical consumers. This is because the vehicle is under constant development, because

fuses are assigned differently depending on the vehicle equipment level and because several

consumers may use a single fuse. You can get more information about the fuse layout from a

Volkswagen dealership.

Several electrical consumers could share a single fuse. Conversely, a single consumer could have

more than one fuse.

Therefore fuses should only be replaced when the cause of the fault has been rectified. If a new

fuse blows shortly after insertion, have the electrical system checked by a qualified workshop as

soon as possible.

Additional information and warnings:

•

Preparation for working in the engine compartment ⇒ Preparation for working in the engine

compartment

WARNING

High voltages in the electrical system can cause electric shocks, serious burns and death.

•

Never touch the electrical wiring of the ignition system.

Avoid causing short circuits in the electrical system.

WARNING

Using unsuitable or repaired fuses and bridging an electrical circuit without fuses can cause a

fire and serious injuries.

•

Never fit fuses that have a higher fuse protection limit. Fuses must always be replaced by

a new fuse with the same amp rating (same colour and markings) and size.

•

Never repair a fuse.

Never use a metal strip, paper clip or similar objects to replace a fuse.

NOTICE

•

To avoid damage to the electrical system in the vehicle, switch the ignition, the lights and

all electrical consumers off and remove the vehicle key from the ignition before changing a

fuse.

•

You can damage another position in the electrical system by using a fuse with a higher

amp rating.

Fuse boxes must be protected from dirt and moisture when opened. Dirt and moisture in

the fuse boxes can damage the electrical system.

Opening and closing the fuse box under the dash panel

•

Opening: push the locking lever ⇒ Fig. 158① until the cover can be opened.

Fold the cover down.

Closing: push the cover up in the opposite direction to the arrow until it perceptibly engages in

the locking lever ①.

Opening the fuse box in the engine compartment

•

Open the bonnet

⇒ Preparation for working in the engine compartment.

•

Press the release buttons in the direction of the arrow (thin arrow) ⇒ Fig. 159 to release the

fuse box cover.

•

Lift off the cover.

To fit, place the cover over the fuse box. Press the release buttons down in the opposite

direction to the arrow until the release buttons click into place.

NOTICE

•

Remove the covers for the fuse boxes carefully and install them again properly so as to

avoid damage to the vehicle.

Fuse boxes must be protected from dirt and moisture when opened. Dirt and moisture in

the fuse boxes can damage the electrical system.

This chapter does not refer to all the fuses located in the vehicle. These should be changed

only by a qualified workshop.

Changing a blown fuse

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒

Introduction

Preparation

•

Switch off the ignition, the lights and all electrical consumers.

•

Open the appropriate fuse box ⇒ Fuses in the vehicle.

Detecting a blown fuse

A melted metal strip indicates that the fuse has blown ⇒ Fig. 160.

Shine a torch onto the fuse. This will help you to spot the blown fuse more easily.

Changing a fuse

•

Take the plastic pliers ⇒ Fig. 161① out of the holder if needed. The holder is on the rear side of

the fuse box near the diagnosis connection.

•

For small fuses, push on the catch ⇒ Fig. 161① from above ⇒ Fig. 161A.

For bigger fuses, push the catch ⇒ Fig. 161① onto the fuse from the side ⇒ Fig. 161B.

Remove the fuse

If the fuse has blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amp rating (same colour and same

markings) and same size ⇒

•

Insert the cover again or close the fuse box cover.

If used, replace the pliers in the holder behind the fuse box.

NOTICE

You can damage another position in the electrical system by using a fuse with a higher amp

rating.

Changing bulbs

Introduction

This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:

⇒ Information on changing bulbs

⇒ Changing bulbs in the front headlights

⇒ Changing bulbs in the front bumper

⇒ Changing bulbs in the tail light cluster

⇒ Changing the bulb in the number plate light

⇒ Changing bulbs in the side turn signals

Changing the vehicle bulbs requires considerable technical skill. If you do not feel confident with the

procedure, Volkswagen recommends that you have the bulbs changed by a Volkswagen

dealership, or that you seek other expert assistance. Contact a qualified workshop if other vehicle

parts around the lights need to be removed.

You should keep a box with spare light bulbs for the lights that ensure the vehicle is roadworthy in

the vehicle at all times. Spare bulbs are available from Volkswagen dealerships. In some countries

it is a legal requirement to have these spare bulbs in the vehicle.

It may be illegal to drive with a defective bulb in the exterior lighting.

Additional bulb specifications

Some bulbs in headlights or in tail light clusters might have factory specifications that are different

to standard bulbs. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.
