Never perform any work in the engine compartment unless you know exactly how to carry out
the job and have the correct technical information and the correct tools.
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 per‐
sonal injury may result from improperly performed work.
Never open or close the engine hood if steam or coolant is escaping. Hot steam or coolant can
cause serious burns. Always wait until you no longer see or hear steam or coolant escaping
from the engine.
Always let the engine cool down completely before carefully opening the hood.
Hot parts of the engine and the exhaust system will burn skin on contact.
When the engine has cooled down and you are ready to open the hood:
Firmly apply the parking brake and shift the transmission into Park (P).
Take the vehicle key out of the ignition.
On vehicles with Keyless Access, make sure that the remote control vehicle key is out of
range of the vehicle and that the vehicle cannot be started by depressing the starter but‐
ton ⇒Starter button .
Always keep children and others away from the engine compartment and never leave
them unsupervised.
The engine coolant system is under pressure when the engine is hot. Never unscrew the
coolant expansion tank cap when the engine is hot. Hot coolant can spray out and cause se‐
vere burns and other serious injuries.
Turn the cap slowly and very carefully in a counterclockwise direction while applying light
downward pressure on the top of the cap.
Always protect your face, hands, and arms from hot escaping coolant or steam by cover‐
ing the cap with a large, thick rag.
Never spill fluids on the engine or exhaust system when refilling. Spilling fluids onto hot parts
of the engine or exhaust system can cause a fire.
