have the correct technical information and the proper tools, supplies, and operating fluids, and

are familiar with the necessary safety precautions

⇒

If you are uncertain in any way, have the work done by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an

WARNING

Engine coolant is poisonous!

Always keep the coolant in its original container stored in a safe place.

To reduce the risk of poisoning, never store engine coolant in empty food or beverage

containers or in any other containers that might mislead someone into drinking from them.

Always keep engine coolant out of reach of children.

Always make sure there is enough of the correct coolant additive to provide proper

antifreeze protection at the coldest temperatures that can be expected where the vehicle will
be used.

At extremely cold temperatures, the coolant could freeze, causing the vehicle to break

down. The heater would also not work, and vehicle occupants could be without protection at
subfreezing temperatures.

Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Collect leaking operating fluids and

dispose of them properly in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

Engine coolant temperature warning light

Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

When the ignition is switched on, several warning and indicator lights come on briefly for a function
check. They go out after a few seconds.
