information and safety warnings
The content of the vehicle toolkit depends on the vehicle equipment level. The following describes the maximum scope.
The vehicle toolkit contains the following
Screwdriver with hexagon socket in
the handle for slackened wheel bolts. The screwdriver blade (Torx) is
reversible.
Adapter for the anti-theft wheel
bolts. Volkswagen recommends that you carry the wheel bolt adapter in the
vehicle toolkit at all times. The code number of the
anti-theft wheel bolt is stamped on the front of the adapter. You will need
this number to replace the adapter if lost. Make a note of the code number
for the anti-theft wheel bolt and keep it in a safe place – but not inside
the vehicle.
Removable towing eye.
Wire hook for pulling off the wheel
covers and wheel bolt caps.

vehicle jack to the toolbox, fully wind in the claw. To stow the vehicle
