1.1
Start/Stop System Safety Precautions
Pay Attention to the following When Working on Vehicles with a
Start/Stop System:
WARNING
Danger of personal injury because the engine can start auto‐
matically on vehicles with Stop/Start System.
♦ If necessary, the engine can be started automatically on
vehicles with an activated Start/Stop System. A message
will appear in the instrument cluster.
♦ Make sure that the Start/Stop System is deactivated when
operating on the vehicle (turn off ignition, turn on ignition
again if necessary).
1.2
Safety Precautions, Road Test with
Testing Equipment
If Measuring Equipment Are Required during a Test Drive, Ob‐
serve the Following:
WARNING
Distraction and inadequately secured measuring equipment
poses an accident risk.
There is a risk due to deployment of the front passenger airbag
in an accident.
• Operating measuring equipment while driving creates a
distraction.
• Unsecured measuring equipment can cause injuries.
♦ Always secure measuring equipment with a strap on the
rear seat and have a second person in the rear seat op‐
erate it.
1.3
HID Headlamps Usage and Safety Pre‐
cautions
Never Change a Headlamp Bulb If You Are Not Familiar with the
Corresponding Steps, Safety Precautions and the Tool.
WARNING
Life-threatening danger due to high voltage.
♦ It is necessary to disconnect the battery wire strap before
working on HID headlamp components. These parts are
marked with yellow high voltage symbols.
♦ Then switch the low beams on and back off. This removes
any possible residual voltage.
♦ Turn off the ignition and all electrical equipment and re‐
move the ignition key.
♦ The HID lamp control module should never be operated
without an HID headlamp bulb.
♦ Due to the high voltage, the HID headlamp bulb can only
be operated inside the headlamp housing. When ignited,
a HID headlamp bulb operates at over 28000 V).
WARNING
Risk of injury from burning, UV rays, blinding and explosion.
♦ Due the high temperatures, absorption of UV rays, and the
risk of blinding, the HID headlamp bulb should only be op‐
erated inside the headlamp housing.
♦ Do not look into the beam of light. It may interfere with the
ability to see for a significant period of time.
♦ HID headlamp bulbs are under pressure and can crack
when bulbs are replaced.
♦ Always wear safety glasses and gloves when removing
and installing HID bulbs.
WARNING
Pollution risk.
♦ HID headlamp bulbs are hazardous waste. They contain
metallic mercury (Hg) and traces of thallium.
♦ Do not destroy HID headlamp bulbs and avoid contact with
burst glass bulbs.
♦ Observe disposal regulations.
♦ Dispose of HID headlamp bulbs in suitable containers at
an authorized collection site.
Caution
♦ Do not touch HID headlamp bulb glass cones with bare
hands. The remaining fingerprint would evaporate due to
the heat of the operated bulb and condense on the reflec‐
tor which would impair headlamp luminosity. Use clean
cloth gloves to insert the HID headlamp bulb.
♦ Only replace faulty HID headlamp bulbs with the same
version of lamp. Bulb identification can be found on bulb
socket or on the glass cone.
♦ Connectors must engage correctly when installed and
must be checked for proper connection.

Repair Information
⇒ “2.1 Contact Corrosion”, page 4
⇒ “2.2 Wire Routing and Securing”, page 4
2.1
Contact Corrosion
Contact corrosion can occur if incorrect fasteners (bolts, nuts,
washers) are used.
For this reason, only fasteners with a special surface coating are
used.
In addition, rubber or plastic parts and adhesive are made of ma‐
terial that does not conduct electricity.
If there are doubts as to whether parts are suitable or not, use
new parts. Refer to Parts Catalog.
Observe:
♦ Use only original replacement parts that have been tested and
are compatible with aluminum.
♦ Use only Volkswagen accessories.
♦ Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by
warranty.
2.2
Wire Routing and Securing
Wires should be marked before they are removed to prevent con‐
fusing them and to guarantee the installation position. This also
includes fuel lines, hydraulic lines, vacuum lines, EVAP systems
and electrical lines. Make sketches or take photos if necessary.
Due to the restricted space in the engine compartment, make sure
to allow for sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components
to avoid damaging the wires.
