Oil VOLKSWAGEN CC 2015 Owner´s Manual

Type of stain Cleaning
Grease-based
stains, such as oil,
lipstick, etc.
– Remove fresh stains with an absorbent cloth.
– Use an appropriate cleaning agent on stains
that have not yet penetrated the surface ⇒ .
Special stains,
such as ballpoint
pen, marker, nail
polish, latex paint,
or shoe polish.
– Dab dry with an absorbent cloth.
– Clean with a special stain remover designed
for leather.

NOTICE
Stains that have been left in place too long will penetrate the
surface of the leather and cannot be removed.
Never treat leather with solvents, floor wax, shoe polish, stain
remover or similar products.
Wipe up spilled liquids immediately with an absorbent cloth.
Liquid can penetrate leather surfaces and seams within a few
seconds.
If the vehicle is left in the sun for a long time, cover the uphol-
stery to protect the leather from direct sunlight and to help pre-
vent fading and discoloration.
Slight discoloration caused by wear and tear is normal.
Cleaning leatherette

Engine life is influenced by how you drive the vehicle for the first
1000 miles (1600 km). Even afterwards, driving at moderate engine
speeds, especially when the engine is cold, will tend to reduce engine
wear and help the engine to last longer and go farther. But do not
drive at an excessively low engine speed, either. Always downshift if
the engine is not running smoothly. For the first 600 miles
(1000 km):
Do not use full throttle.
Don't let the engine speed get above 2/3 the maximum speed.
Do not tow a trailer.
From 600 to 1000 miles (1000 to 1600 km): Speed may gradually
be increased to maximum permissible road and engine speed.

Parts and accessories

WARNING
Improper use of operating fluids and equipment can cause ac-
cidents, serious personal injuries, burns and/or poisoning.
Always store vehicle care products in a safe place in original
containers that are securely closed.
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never use empty food or
beverage containers that might mislead someone into drinking
from them.
Always keep vehicle care products out of the reach of chil-
dren.
Always read and heed all the instructions and all WARNINGS
on the package before using vehicle care products.
When using products that give off harmful fumes, always
work outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, nail polish remover or
other volatile fluids for vehicle care. They are poisonous and
highly flammable. They could cause fires and explosions!
NOTICE
Only refill with suitable operating fluids. When changing or
topping off fluids, make sure that you pour the fluids into the
correct reservoirs. Adding incorrect fluids will cause serious
malfunctions and engine damage! Under no circumstances
should you mix up operating fluids. Otherwise serious malfunc-
tions and engine damage can occur!
Accessories and other things installed in front of the cooling
air intakes impair the efficiency of the engine coolant. The en-
gine can overheat under high outside temperatures or under
high engine loads!
Leaking operating fluids can pollute the environment. Collect
leaking operating fluids in suitable containers and dispose of them
properly in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regu-
lations.

WARNING
Improperly lifting your vehicle with a workshop hoist or a floor
jack can cause the vehicle to fall off and cause serious person-
al injury.
Always read and heed the operating instructions from the
floor jack manufacturer and legal regulations if necessary be-
fore using the floor jack to lift the vehicle.
Never let anyone stay in the vehicle when it is being lifted or
when it is off the ground.
Always lift your vehicle only at the designated lift points
shown in the illustrations ⇒ fig. 173 and ⇒ fig. 174. Not using the
designated lift points can cause the vehicle to fall off the floor
jack when heavy parts such as the engine or transmission are
removed.
Always make sure that the vehicle's lift points lie as flat as
possible and centered on the carrier plates of the floor jack.
Never start the engine when you have raised the vehicle on
the floor jack. The engine vibrations and vehicle movements
could knock the vehicle off the floor jack.
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, al-
ways make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle.
Never use the floor jack as a ladder or step ladder.
Always make sure that the weight of the vehicle is not heavi-
er than the lifting capacity of the floor jack and safety stands
being used.
NOTICE
To help prevent serious vehicle damage, never lift the vehicle
by the engine oil pan, transmission housing, or by the front or
rear axles or suspension.
To help prevent damage to the underbody or chassis, always
insert a rubber pad between the hoist and the lifting points. In
addition make sure the lifting arms have enough clearance.
The lifting arms should not touch side sills or other parts of
the vehicle.

length and bolt head shape must be used. The attachment of the
wheels and function of the brake system depend on this.
It may not be possible to use wheel bolts from different vehicles of the
same model.
Wheel bolt tightening torque
Correctly tightened bolts for steel and alloy wheel rims should have a
torque of 88 ft-lbs. (120 Nm). After changing a wheel, have the wheel
bolt tightening torque checked right away with an accurate torque
wrench.
Before you check the tightening torque, replace corroded and diffi-
cult-to-turn wheel bolts and clean the threads in the wheel hub.
Never grease or oil the wheel bolts and the threads in the wheel
hubs. The bolts can come loose while driving if greased or oiled, even
if tightened to the required torque.
WARNING
Improperly tightened wheel bolts can come loose while driving
and cause you to lose control over the vehicle, resulting in ac-
cidents and serious injuries.
Only use wheel bolts that belong your vehicle and to the
wheel being installed.
Never use different wheel bolts.
Wheel bolts and wheel hub threads must always be clean,
easy-to-turn and free of oil and grease.
Only use the lug wrench that is supplied with the vehicle to
loosen the wheel bolts.
Loosen the wheel bolts only about 1 turn before lifting the
vehicle with the jack.
Never grease or oil the wheel bolts and the threads in the
wheel hubs. The bolts can come loose while driving if greased
or oiled, even if tightened to the required torque.
Never loosen bolted connections on wheel rims with bolted
rim rings.
If the wheel bolts are not tightened to the proper torque, the
wheel can come off the vehicle when it is moving. Extremely
high torque can damage the wheel bolts and/or their threads.

Screw in the wheel bolts clockwise and tighten them slightly using
the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle.
Lower the vehicle with the jack.
Use the lug wrench to firmly tighten all wheel bolts (turn clockwise)
⇒ . Do not tighten them in sequence! Tighten any wheel bolt to
begin, then tighten the wheel bolt diagonally opposite the first bolt,
and so forth.
Install the wheel bolt caps, center wheel hubcap, or wheel cover, if
any ⇒  Wheel trim.
WARNING
Wheel bolts that are tightened or installed improperly can come
loose, causing loss of vehicle control, a crash, and serious per-
sonal injury.
Always keep wheel bolts and threads in the wheel hub clean
and free of oil and grease. The wheel bolts must turn easily and
must be tightened with the right torque.
Use the hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle only to
turn the wheel bolts when they are loose, never to loosen them
or tighten them firmly.
WARNING
Improper use of a compact spare wheel can cause loss of vehi-
cle control, a crash or other accident, and serious personal in-
jury.
Never use a compact spare wheel if it is damaged or worn
down to the wear indicators.
Never drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) with a compact
spare wheel. Avoid full-throttle acceleration, heavy braking, and
fast cornering!
Never drive more than 125 miles (200 km) with a compact
spare wheel that is installed on the front axle (drive axle).
Replace the compact spare with a normal wheel and tire as
soon as possible. Compact spare tires are designed for brief
use only.

When not to tow your vehicle
In the following situations, the vehicle cannot be towed and must be
transported on a flatbed truck or trailer:
If transmission fluid has leaked out of the transmission.
If there is little or no oil in the transmission because of damage to
your vehicle, it must be moved with the drive wheels off the ground.
If the front and rear wheels cannot turn.
When the vehicle battery is dead, because the steering may remain
disabled and it may not be possible to release the electronic steering
column lock. If the electronic parking brake was engaged when the
battery died, it cannot be released.
If you have to tow an automatic transmission vehicle more than
30 miles (50 km).
Towing other vehicles
Obey all legal requirements
Read and heed all towing information in the owner's manual for the
other vehicle.
A vehicle can be towed only if the electronic parking brake and
the electronic steering column lock are released. In case of a power
loss or malfunctions of the electrical system, the engine may have to
be jump-started ⇒ Jump-starting in order to release the electronic
parking brake and the electronic steering column lock.
