This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ Fuses in the vehicle
→ Fuse table→ Fuse tables for fuses in the engine compartment
→ Changing a blown fuseAt the time of print we are unable to provide an complete overview of the locations of the fuses for the electrical consumers. This is because the vehicle is under constant development, because fuses are assigned differently depending on the vehicle equipment level and because several consumers may use a single fuse. You can get more information about the fuse layout from a Volkswagen dealership.
Several electrical consumers could share a single fuse. Conversely, a single consumer could have more than one fuse.
Therefore fuses should only be replaced when the cause of the fault has been rectified. If a new fuse blows shortly after insertion, have the electrical system checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Additional information and warnings:
WARNING
High voltages in the electrical system can cause electric shocks, serious burns and death.WARNING
Using unsuitable or repaired fuses and bridging an electrical circuit without fuses can cause a fire and serious injuries.NOTICE
Flat connector systems
Note
If necessary, any housing catches in place (secondary
locking mechanisms) must be released or removed prior to
