Manual DescriptionIn this section you'll find information about, 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 fuse location per, load is not possible at the time of printing, from authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities.
In general, one fuse can protect several loads, find out why the fuse blew and correct the problem before replacing a blown fuse, fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical system should be checked by an authorized, volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
High voltage systems in the engine compartment can cause electrical shocks, severe burns, avoid short circuits electrical system, using the wrong fuse, using a blown fuse that has been repaired, and using metal objects, place of fuses to complete the electrical connection in the circuit can cause fires serious.
Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amp rating, a fuse of the same amperage (same color and same imprint) same overall size, never replace fuses with a metal strip, a paper clip, similar object, to help prevent damage to the electrical system, switch off all lights accessories.
Switch off the ignition, and remove the key from the ignition switch before replacing fuse, open fuse boxes must be protected from dirt and moisture, can cause damage electrical system, Please first read and note the introductory information heed WARNINGS.
Replace a blown fuse only with a fuse of the same amperage (same color same imprint), opening the fuse box instrument panel, pull the lower part of the cover toward the steering wheel (in the direction of arrow ⇒ fig, and remove the cover from the bottom.
To install, guide the cover from the bottom into the instrument panel and push direction, opening the fuse box engine compartment, open the engine hood ⇒ Working engine compartment, press the release tabs in the direction of the arrows ⇒ fig.

Replaced by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, switch off the headlights, the ignition, all electrical consumers, open the appropriate fuse box ⇒ Fuses vehicle, shine a flashlight on the fuse.
A blown blade fuse (ATO®, MINI®) has metal strips that have burned through, which you can see, through the transparent housing from above and from the side ⇒ fig, a blown cartridge fuse (JCASE®) has metal strips that have burned through, which you can see, through the transparent housing from above ⇒ fig.
In some vehicles, there are plastic tweezers for removing blade fuses on the inside fuse box, open the fuse box cover in the engine compartment ⇒ page 434, Fuses in vehicle remove, depending on the type of fuse, slide the tweezers ⇒ fig, clip the plastic tweezers back into the holder inside fuse box cover.
If a fuse is replaced with a fuse with higher amperage, then damage can occur at various places electrical system...
