The automatic anti-dazzle interior mirror darkens continuously

when the driver is blinded from behind.
AG.
It consists of a mirror element and electrics with two photo sen

sors.
The photo sensors of the electronics detect the light incidence
from the front and the rear.
If the light incidence is greater from the rear than from the front,
the electronics apply voltage to the conductive coating.
The applied voltage changes the colour of the electrolyte. The
greater the voltage, the darker the electrolyte. Therefore, the in
cident light is reflected to a lesser degree.
Selecting reverse gear switches off the anti-dazzle function. Con
sequently, one can, for example, reverse out of a dark garage with
the aid of the interior mirror.

2.8.2 Installing
2.9 Repairing cup holder in centre console,

Highline
A loose cup holder or one that is falling apart does not necessarily
have to be replaced. It could possibly be repaired.
2.9.1 Checking for possible repair

Part renewal should only be carried out if repair is impossible,
because e.g. components are severely deformed, broken, broken
off or otherwise damaged and the flawless function of the cup
holder is therefore no longer guaranteed.
Remove cup holder in centre console, Highline page 43 .

Golf 2004 , Golf 2009
Loosen cover -1- from cup holder -arrow-.
Check all four attachments -1- of cup holder for damage.

If an attachment -2- is severely deformed, the cup holder must
be renewed.
Note
The cup holder must also be renewed if other components are damaged which normally ensure that the cup
holder can function as designed.

Caution
When pulling the connector out of the retaining clip there is a

risk of damage to the wiring harness! This occurs if the con
nector becomes dislodged abruptly from the retaining clip. For
this reason, very carefully pull on wiring harness by hand, sup
port palm of hand on vehicle for this. Force applied on wiring
harness can be controlled, thus preventing an abrupt separa
tion of wiring connections.
Hold onto the roof hand rail with one hand and gently pull on
the wiring harness (towards windscreen) until the connector
slips out of its retaining clip in the moulded headlining.

1.1 General safety regulations when work

ing on airbag, belt tensioner and battery
isolator units (pyrotechnic components)
WARNING
Pyrotechnic components always contain a propellant that

generates a gas during combustion. On some versions, a
separate compressed gas reservoir is available to gener
ate the gas.
This compressed gas is stored under high pressure in a
compressed gas tank.
Ignition of the pyrotechnic components is by means of an
electric/mechanical igniter.
Testing, removing, installing and repair work may only be
performed by qualified personnel.
For airbag units, there are no exchange intervals.
Under no circumstances should checks be carried out with
a test lamp, voltmeter or ohmmeter.
Pyrotechnic components may only be checked in installed
state and with vehicle diagnosis, testing and information
systems approved by the manufacturer.
When working on pyrotechnic components and airbag
control unit -J234-, the battery earth strap must be dis
connected with the ignition switched on. Then cover neg
ative terminal.
A waiting time of 10 seconds is necessary after discon
necting the battery.
The battery must be connected with the ignition SWITCH
ED ON. When doing this, there should be no-one inside
the vehicle. Exception: Vehicles with battery inside pas AG. Volkswagen

Before handling pyrotechnic components of the restraint

himself/herself. Electrostatic discharge is achieved by
touching earthed metallic parts, such as the door striker

1.2 Special instructions for belt tensioners
WARNING
Never point open end of belt tensioner at another person.

Belt tensioner units must be handled with extreme caution
during removal and installation. If handled incorrectly,
there is a high risk of injury and damage in relation to the
belt tensioner units.
When connecting the belt tensioner unit, all mechanical
parts (including those of the 3-point seat belt) must be
properly attached. If connection of the belt tensioner unit
is hindered due to tight conditions, the belt strap must be
rolled up completely before connecting. In this case there
is no heightened risk of safety as long as the additional
safety instructions are heeded. Essentially this is aimed at
battery disconnection and electrostatic discharge of the
fitter prior to connection of the belt tensioner unit.
Depending on the crash intensity, it is possible that the belt
tensioner was triggered but the belt force limiter did NOT
ignite. These parts are to be treated as unignited compo
nents!
1.3 Storage, transportation and disposal of

airbag, belt tensioner and battery isola
tor units (pyrotechnic components)
WARNING
Storage must comply with the relevant national legislation.

Transportation is subject to national and international reg
ulations that govern packaging,n AGmarking, labelling

4.2 General safety regulations when work

ing on airbag, belt tensioner and battery
isolator units (pyrotechnic components)
WARNING
Pyrotechnic components always contain a propellant that

generates a gas during combustion. On some versions, a
separate compressed gas reservoir is available to gener
ate the gas.
This compressed gas is stored under high pressure in a
compressed gas tank.
Ignition of the pyrotechnic components is by means of an
electric/mechanical igniter.
Testing, removing, installing and repair work may only be
performed by qualified personnel.

Check whether an additional earth cable needs to be fitted in the

vehicle:
WARNING
If a front passenger airbag is renewed, an additional earth ca

ble may have to be fitted to the vehicle.
Note
The concept is presented using the example of a one-level airbag module. For the two-level airbag module,
the process of determining whether an additional earth cable must be fitted in the vehicle is carried out at the
same time.

Golf 2004 , Golf 2009
Check whether an earth cable is attached to the front passen

ger airbag housing:
On a front passenger airbag with earth cable -1-, the wiring
harness -2- is three-conductor, an additional cable -3- is also
attached to the stud -4-.
On a front passenger airbag without earth cable -5- the wiring
harness -6- is two-conductor, there is no additional cable at
tached to the stud -7-.
