Volkswagen ID.4: Operating fluids and operating equipment

All operating fluids and operating equipment, such as engine coolant, and vehicle batteries, are continuously being developed. Have fluids and operating equipment replaced by suitably qualified professionals. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

WARNING

Carrying out work on the 12 V vehicle electrical system may cause fires and serious or fatal injuries.

• Always disconnect the 12 V vehicle battery.
• Always have a fully-functioning, checked fire extinguisher nearby.
• Make sure that the vehicle is unlocked when the 12 V vehicle battery is disconnected. Otherwise, the anti-theft alarm system will be activated.

WARNING

Fluids may be poisonous. Improper use and storage may cause serious or fatal injuries.

• Only store fluids in their sealed original containers.
• Never use empty food cans, bottles, or other containers to store fluids, because someone could drink the fluids by mistake.
• Keep children away from all fluids and operating equipment.
• Always read and heed the information and warnings on the packaging for the fluids.
• When using products that emit harmful vapors, always work outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

WARNING

Fluids and some materials in the hood space are highly flammable and may ignite on contact with hot surfaces, sparks, or naked flames. This can lead to a fire and cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

• Never smoke near the hood space.
• Never work near open flames or sparks.
• Never perform work near sources of heat, boilers, or other open flames.
• Never pour or spill fluids on the electric drivetrain.
• Always have a fully-functioning, checked fire extinguisher nearby.

NOTICE

The use of incorrect fluids can cause serious malfunctions and damage to the electric drivetrain.

• When filling or changing fluids, make sure the correct fluids are added to the corresponding reservoirs.

Fluids leaking from the vehicle can cause environmental damage. Always check the ground under the vehicle for leaking fluids. If you see spots of fluid on the ground under the vehicle, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Dispose of leaking fluids correctly. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
