If you are going to work under a vehicle on the ground, make sure that the ground is level. Block the wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling.
Disconnect the battery negative terminal (ground strap) to prevent others from starting the vehicle while you are under it.
-
Any time the battery has been disconnected on an automatic transmission vehicle, it will be necessary to reestablish Transmission Control Module
(TCM) basic settings using the VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST).
-
For vehicles equipped with an anti-theft radio, be sure of the correct radio activation code before disconnecting the battery or removing the radio.
If the wrong code is entered when power is restored, the radio may lock up and become inoperable, even if the correct code is used in a later
attempt.

-
Never use a test light to conduct electrical tests of the airbag system. The system must only be tested by trained Volkswagen Service technicians
using the VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST) or an approved equivalent. The airbag unit must never be electrically tested while it is not installed in the
vehicle.
-
When driving or riding in an airbag-equipped vehicle, never hold test equipment in your hands or lap while the vehicle is in motion. Objects
between you and the airbag can increase the risk of injury in an accident.
-
When boost-charging the battery, first remove the fuses for the Engine Control Module (ECM), the Transmission Control Module (TCM), the
ABS control module, and the trip computer. In cases where one or more of these components is not separately fused, disconnect the control
module connector(s).
