Safety measures
Pay attention to the following if testers and measuring instruments have to be used in the course of a test drive:
  WARNING
Proceed as follows to avoid risk of accident during measurement and test drives:
t  Exclusive use is to be made for measured value block readout of vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system -VAS 5051- or fault reader -V.A.G 1551-. Unit is always to be attached to rear seat and operated from there by a second person.
t  Deactivate passenger's airbag by way of key switch in glove box or via self-diagnosis: → Body, self-diagnosis; Rep. Gr.01.
t  Reactivate passenger's airbag on completion of work.
Heed the following so as to avoid possible injury and/or the destruction of electrical and electronic components:
t  Always switch off ignition before disconnecting and connecting measuring instruments and testers.
t  Certain tests may result in fault detection and storage by the control unit. The fault memory is therefore to be interrogated and if necessary erased on completion of all tests and repair work.
