Installing
Install in the reverse order of removal, observing the following:
  Caution
A loosely fitted battery creates the following dangers:
Shortened service life due to damage from vibration (danger of explosion)
The cells in the battery will be damaged if the battery is not secured correctly.
Damage to battery housing by securing bracket (possibility of acid leaking, with high consequential costs)
Poor crash safety
  Note
Install only maintenance-free batteries in accordance with specifications “TL82506” (as of December 1997) and “VW75073” (as of August 2001).
Batteries from the replacement parts range feature a base strip adapter for matching to different retainer flanges.
The → battery operating instructions give details of when and how to use the base strip adapter.
Vehicles with Start/Stop system
  Note
Because in vehicles equipped with a Start/Stop system pose greater demands on a battery’s deep-cycle resistance, only special batteries are used.
When renewing the battery, note the correct replacement part designation.
Batteries intended for use in vehicles with a Start/Stop system are marked “AGM” (Absorbent Glass Mat) or “EFB” (Enhanced Flooded Battery).
Continued for all vehicles
