Volkswagen EOS (2015 year). Instruction — part 24
WARNING
Improper use of your vehicle jack can cause the vehicle to fall off the jack leading to serious
personal injury. To help reduce the risk of serious personal injury:
Use only jacks approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle. Other jacks might slip, even those
approved for other Volkswagen models, but not for your vehicle.
Always set up the jack on firm and level ground. The vehicle may slip off the jack if the
jack is resting on soft or sloping ground. If necessary, place a sturdy board under the jack.
On a hard, slippery surface (such as a tiled floor), use an anti-skid rubber mat or
something similar to help prevent the jack from slipping.
Position the jack only at the described vehicle lift points. Before you raise your vehicle,
always make sure the jack claw properly grips the vertical rib under the sill so that the jack
does not slip off when you are raising the vehicle
⇒
fig. 186
.
Never have any part of your body (such as your arm or leg) under the vehicle when it is
supported by the jack. Never let other persons have any part of their body under the vehicle,
either!
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, always make sure that the vehicle
is safely supported on safety stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle.
Never lift the vehicle when it is tilted or inclined to one side or the engine is running.
Never lift the vehicle when more than 1 tire is flat or damaged.
Do not start the engine while the vehicle is supported by a jack. Engine vibrations may
cause the vehicle to slip off the jack.

Fuses
Introduction
In this section you’ll find information about:
Fuses in the vehicle
Replacing blown fuses
Due to ongoing development of the vehicle, configuration-dependent allocation of fuses and the
combined fuse protection of multiple loads with one fuse, an up-to-date overview of the fuse location
per load is not possible at the time of printing. Detailed information regarding fuse box layout is
available from authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities.
In general, one fuse can protect several loads. One load can also be protected by several fuses.
Find out why the fuse blew and correct the problem before replacing a blown fuse. If a newly replaced
fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical system should be checked by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Replacing light bulbs
Introduction
In this section you’ll find information about:
Indicator light
Replacing taillight bulbs in the luggage compartment lid
Replacing taillight bulbs in the vehicle body
Replacing license plate light bulbs
Changing a light bulb requires a certain amount of skill. Therefore, Volkswagen recommends having
the light bulb changed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility. Special training and knowledge are generally required when other vehicle parts must be
disassembled to replace a bulb, or when HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights must be
replaced.
You should always keep a box in the vehicle with all the replacement bulbs required for traffic safety.
Replacement bulbs are available from your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility. The laws of some countries explicitly require you to have replacement bulbs in the
vehicle.
Driving with outside lights that do not work may be against the law.
To obtain the Volkswagen service information necessary to change light bulbs yourself, see
⇒
Volkswagen service information.
Additional light bulb specifications
Some factory-installed light bulbs in the headlights or the rear lights may have different specifications
than conventional light bulbs. Specifications are on the glass bulb or on the metal base.
WARNING
Crashes and other accidents can happen when you cannot see the road ahead and when you
cannot be seen by other motorists.
WARNING
Improper replacement of burned out headlights and other light bulbs can cause serious
personal injury.
Stop! Always read and heed the WARNINGS before doing any work in the engine
compartment
⇒ Working in the engine compartment. The engine compartment of any motor
vehicle is a potentially dangerous area, and work in this area can lead to serious personal
injury.
HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights get power from a high voltage source
that can cause severe personal injury and even death if handled improperly.
H7 bulbs and HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights are under high pressure
and can explode if handled improperly.
Always let a burned out light bulb cool down before replacing it.
Never replace a light bulb unless you are familiar with all of the necessary procedures. In
particular, never remove a headlight unless you know exactly how to carry out the job and
have the correct tools and light bulbs.
If you are uncertain about what to do, have the work performed by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer, an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or another qualified
workshop. Serious personal injury may result from improperly performed work.
We strongly recommend that you always have HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon)
headlights and H7 bulbs replaced by a qualified technician.
Do not touch the glass of light bulbs with your bare hands. Fingerprints left on the bulb
evaporate due to the heat when the bulb is switched on and cause the reflector to “cloud.”
There are sharp edges on and around the headlight housing in the engine compartment
and the rear light housing. Wear hand protection if you replace bulbs.
NOTICE
After replacing a headlight bulb or other light bulb, always make sure that the rubber covers or
plastic caps have been properly and securely reinstalled to help prevent water from getting
into the electrical connections and the headlight housing and damaging the electrical system.
LEDs cannot be replaced. Contact your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility for assistance.

Jump-starting
Introduction
In this section you’ll find information about:
Using jumper cables
If your engine does not start because the vehicle battery is dead, your vehicle's battery can be
connected to the battery of another vehicle to start your engine (jump-starting). Check the battery acid
level indicator on the vehicle battery before jump-starting
⇒ Vehicle battery.
You must use jumper cables that meet recognized industrial standards (check information provided by
the jumper cable manufacturer). For vehicles with gasoline engines, the cross-section of the jumper
cable wire must be at least 0.038 in
2
(25 mm
2
), or about 3 ga. (AWG).
More information:
Starting assistance systems
Working in the engine compartment
Vehicle battery
WARNING
Working on the batteries or the electrical system in your vehicle can cause serious acid
burns, fires, or electrical shock.
Always keep children away from battery acid and vehicle batteries in general.
Sulfuric battery acid is very corrosive and can cause blindness and damage to
unprotected skin. Never let battery acid or lead particles contact your eyes, skin, and
clothing.
Never lean over a vehicle battery. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection. To
reduce your risk of injury, never tilt the batteries; acid could spill out through the vents and
burn you.
A highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the battery is being charged.
Always avoid fires, sparks, open flame, and smoking. Never create sparks or electrostatic
charges when handling cables and electrical equipment. Never short-circuit the battery
terminals. High-energy sparks can cause serious personal injury.
If you get battery acid in your eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse with cold water for
several minutes and get medical attention immediately. If you swallow any battery acid, get
medical attention immediately.
WARNING
Improper use of jumper cables when jump-starting a vehicle with a dead battery can cause
the battery to explode, leading to serious personal injury. To help reduce the risk of battery
explosion:
All work on the batteries or the electrical system in your vehicle can cause serious acid
burns, fires, or electrical shocks. Always read and heed the following WARNINGS and safety
precautions before working on the batteries or the electrical system
⇒ page 298, Vehicle
battery.
Always make sure that the battery providing starting assistance (the booster battery) has
the same voltage as the dead battery (12 V) and about the same amperage capacity (see
battery label).
Never jump-start a vehicle with a thawed or frozen vehicle battery. The battery can
explode. A dead battery can freeze at temperatures around +32 °F (0 °C).
A battery that is frozen or was frozen, but has since thawed, must be replaced.
When the vehicle battery is jump-started, it gives off hydrogen gas, which is highly
explosive! Always keep fire, sparks, open flame, and smoking materials far away from vehicle
batteries. Never use a mobile telephone while connecting or disconnecting jumper cables.
Jump-start batteries only in well-ventilated areas. Batteries give off highly explosive
hydrogen gas during jump-starting.
Always route the jumper cables so that they cannot get caught in any moving parts in the
engine compartment.
Never short out the battery terminals by connecting the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals with each other.
Never connect the negative cable from the other vehicle directly to the negative terminal
of the dead battery, as this may cause the hydrogen gas given off by the dead battery to
explode.
Never attach the negative cable from the vehicle providing starting assistance to any part
of the fuel system or to the brake hoses or brake lines.
Never allow the non-insulated parts of the battery clamps to touch.
Never allow the jumper cable attached to the positive battery terminal to contact metal
parts of the vehicle.
Always follow the instructions of the jumper cable manufacturer.
NOTICE
To help prevent extensive damage to the vehicle electrical system, read and heed the
following:
Connecting jumper cables improperly can cause a short circuit and do expensive damage
to the vehicle's electrical system.
Do not let the vehicles touch each other while the jumper cables are connected. If they do,
electrical current may flow between the vehicles when the positive (+) terminals are connected,
causing electrical system damage.
Using jumper cables
Fig. 192 Diagram for attaching the jumper cables: Dead battery 1 and booster battery 2.
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
The dead battery must be properly connected to the vehicle's electrical system.
Make certain that the vehicles are not touching each other. Otherwise, electric current could flow as
soon as the positive terminals (+) are connected. Use longer jumper cables if necessary.
The clamps on the jumper cables must have good contact to bare metal on the battery terminals.
If the engine does not start, stop the process after 10 seconds and repeat after about 1 minute.
The procedure for attaching and for removing the jumper cables is described below. Perform each of
the following steps only in the order described, which follow the letters shown in the illustration

⇒ Towing.
Attach the clamp to a point that is as far away as possible from the dead battery
(1)
⇒
.
7. Route the jumper cables so that they cannot get caught in any moving parts in the engine
compartment of either vehicle.
Starting the engine
Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery that is providing help and let it run at idle
speed.
Turn on the ignition of the vehicle with the dead battery. If the engine starts, wait 2 to 3 minutes
until it “runs smoothly” before removing the jumper cables as described below
⇒
. If the engine
does not start within about 10 seconds, turn off the ignition and wait at least 1 minute; then try again.
Before removing the jumper cables
Switch off the headlights (if they are on).
In the vehicle with the dead battery, switch on the heater fan and the rear window defroster. This
helps to minimize voltage spikes when the cables are disconnected.
Removing jumper cables
With the engine running, remove the jumper cables in reverse order to the way they were connected.
1. Disconnect the black (-) cable from the vehicle with the dead battery.
2. Disconnect the black (-) cable from the other vehicle (vehicle with the good battery).
3. Disconnect the red (+) cable from the other vehicle (vehicle with the good battery).
4. Disconnect the red (+) cable from the vehicle with the dead battery.
5. Close the battery cover.
6. If necessary, unscrew the towing eye on the front of the vehicle
⇒ Installing the front towing eye.
WARNING
Improper use of jumper cables when jump-starting a vehicle with a dead battery can cause
the battery to explode, leading to serious personal injury. To help reduce the risk of battery
explosion:
All work on the batteries or the electrical system in your vehicle can cause serious acid
burns, fires, or electrical shocks. Always read and heed the following WARNINGS and safety
precautions before working on the batteries or the electrical system
⇒ page 298, Vehicle
battery.
Always wear proper eye protection. Never lean over the vehicle battery.
Attach the jumper cables in the correct order: first the positive cable, then the negative
cable.
Never connect the negative cable from the vehicle providing starting assistance to parts
of the fuel system or to the brake hoses or brake lines.
Never allow the non-insulated parts of the battery clamps to touch.
Never allow the jumper cable attached to the positive battery terminal to contact metal
parts of the vehicle.
Check the battery acid level indicator window on the vehicle battery. Use a flashlight,
never a match, cigarette lighter, or other open flame. If you cannot see the color of the
window clearly, or if it is light yellow or colorless, do not jump-start the vehicle. Get expert
assistance.
Avoid electrostatic discharge in the vicinity of the vehicle battery. Sparks may cause the
hydrogen gas escaping from the vehicle battery to ignite.
Never jump-start a vehicle with a battery that is damaged or frozen or that was frozen and
has thawed. The battery can explode. Replace the battery instead.
Always follow the instructions of the jumper cable manufacturer.
Always make sure that the battery providing starting assistance has the same voltage as
the dead battery (12 V) and about the same capacity (see battery label).
Batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas. Always keep fire, sparks, open flame and
smoking materials away from batteries.
Never connect the negative cable from the other vehicle directly to the negative terminal
of the dead battery. The hydrogen gas from the battery is explosive.
Never short out the battery terminals by connecting the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals with each other.
