Vehicle battery 

¤

 Introduction 

In this section you’ll find information about: 

Warning light

 

 

The standard 12 Volt vehicle battery is part of the vehicle electrical system. 

Never do any work on the vehicle electrical system unless you 

x

  know exactly how to carry out the job, 

x

  have the correct technical information and the proper tools, and 

x

  are familiar with the necessary safety precautions 

⇒ 

 ! 

If you are uncertain in any way, have the work done by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or 
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Serious personal injury may result from improperly performed 
work. 

Location of the vehicle battery 

Depending upon the engine type, the battery is located in the engine compartment or behind a cover 
in the luggage compartment. On vehicles with a 3.6 liter engine, the battery is behind a trim panel in 
the left rear corner of the luggage compartment. 

Vehicles with the battery located in the luggage compartment are equipped with a battery isolator 
feature. In a collision, the airbag control module triggers a small pyrotechnic charge that physically 
disconnects the battery from the engine starter motor and the positive jump-start terminal in the engine 
compartment. 

Explanation of the warnings on the vehicle battery
