Opening the fuel filler cap
Pull the release switch  in the driver door upwards ⇒ fig. 161.
The fuel filler flap is on the right rear side of the vehicle.
Open the fuel filler flap.
Unscrew the fuel cap counterclockwise and remove. Use the slot or
the upper edge of the fuel filler flap to hold the cap while refueling
⇒ fig. 162.
Refueling
The correct fuel grade for your vehicle ⇒  Fuel is listed on a sticker on
the inside of the fuel filler flap ⇒ fig. 162 (arrow).
The fuel tank is full when the automatic filler nozzle pump switches
off the first time ⇒ .
Do not try to add fuel after the pump stops! Topping off the tank in
this way may fill the expansion space that the tank needs and cause
fuel to overflow, for example, if it gets warmer outside.
Closing the fuel filler cap
Screw the fuel cap clockwise onto the fuel filler neck until you hear
it click into place.
Close the fuel filler flap until you hear it latch shut. The fuel filler
flap must be flush with the vehicle body.
WARNING
Spilled fuel can cause fires, explosions, burns, and other se-
vere injuries.
Always stop refueling once the pump nozzle switches off so
that the tank does not overflow.
NOTICE
Remove fuel spills from all vehicle surfaces immediately to help
prevent damage to the paint, tires, and wheel housings.
Fuel spills may pollute the environment.

WARNING
Disregarding the safety-related checklist may lead to accidents
and injuries.
Please note and follow the points listed in the checklist.

NOTICE
To help prevent vehicle damage in a car wash:
Compare the vehicle track width with the dimensions of the
guide rails in the car wash to help prevent damage to wheel rims
and tires!
Switch off the rain sensor before driving the vehicle through a
car wash ⇒  Rain sensor.
Make sure there is enough clearance for the height and width
of the vehicle.
To help prevent paint damage to the engine hood, place wiper
blades against the windshield after they have dried. Do not let
them snap back into place.
Fold the outside mirrors toward the vehicle body. Do not fold
power folding mirrors manually!
Lock the luggage compartment lid to help prevent uninten-
tional opening in the car wash.
Washing with a power washer

WARNING
Improper use of power washers can cause serious invisible
permanent damage leading to tire failure and loss of vehicle
control. This can cause accidents and severe personal injury.
Keep sufficient distance between water jet and tires. Never
wash tires with a nozzle that sprays the water out in a direct
stream regardless of the distance to the tire and even for a very
short time.
Never use “dirt blasters” to clean tires. Even spraying from a
relatively long distance for a very short time can do visible or
invisible damage to tires.
WARNING
After the vehicle has been washed, the wet brakes or, in winter,
brake discs or pads coated with ice, react slower and need
longer stopping distances.
Always dry the brakes and clean off any ice coatings with a
few careful applications of the brake. Make sure not to endan-
ger other motorists or cyclists or disobey legal requirements.
NOTICE
Water temperature should not be more than +140 °F (+60 °C).
To help prevent damage to the paint, do not wash the vehicle
in direct sunlight.
In order for Park Distance Control to work correctly, the sen-
sors in the rear bumper must be kept clean and clear of snow
and ice.
When using a power washer or steam cleaner, only spray the
sensors directly for a short period of time and always keep the
nozzle at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the sensor.
Do not clean icy or snow-covered windows with a power
washer.
When washing or rinsing the vehicle in cold weather, do not
let water get into the lock cylinders or point the hose at gaps
around the doors, hood, or luggage compartment lid. The water

Cleaning upholstery on non-heated seats, manual seats, or seats
without airbag components
Before using any cleaning agent, familiarize yourself with instruc-
tions and warnings on the packaging.
Vacuum upholstery, fabric trim, Alcantara® upholstery, and carpet-
ing regularly with a suitable brush attachment.
Do not use power washers, steam cleaners, or cooling spray.
A soft sponge or a commercially available lint-free microfiber cloth
may be used for general cleaning ⇒ .
Clean Alcantara® surfaces with a damp cotton or wool cloth or a
commercially available lint-free microfiber cloth ⇒ .
Upholstery and fabric trim with light generalized soiling can be
cleaned with a commercially available dry-foam cleaner.
If the upholstery and fabric trim pieces are heavily soiled, see your
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility before you begin cleaning to learn about suitable cleaning
options. If necessary, have the cleaning done by a professional.
Treating stains
When treating stains, it may be necessary to clean the entire surface
and not just the stain itself. This is especially true if the entire surface
has become dirty from normal use. Otherwise, the area that is treated
may become lighter than the untreated area. If you have questions or
concerns, consult a professional cleaner.

Type of stain Recommended cleaning for fabric and uphol-
stery
Water-based
stains, such as
coffee or fruit
juice.
– Moisten a sponge with water and rub the stain
gently with a circular motion.
– Wipe dry with an absorbent cloth.
Persistent stains,
such as choco-
late or make-up.
– Use only Volkswagen-approved cleaning prod-
ucts.
– If necessary, have the fabric or upholstery pro-
fessionally cleaned.

WARNING
Inappropriate spare parts and accessories as well as improper-
ly performed work, modifications and repairs can cause vehicle
damage, accidents and serious personal injuries.
Volkswagen strongly recommends to only use accessories
approved by Volkswagen and Genuine Volkswagen Parts®.
These parts and accessories have been evaluated by
Volkswagen for their suitability, reliability and safety.
Have repairs and vehicle modifications performed by an au-
thorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility. Authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized
Volkswagen Service Facilities have the required tools, diagnos-
tic equipment, repair information, and trained personnel to
properly replace any airbag in your vehicle and assure system
effectiveness in a crash.
Only install parts on the vehicle that are consistent with fac-
tory-installed parts with respect to design and characteristics.
Never store, mount, or attach objects, such as cup holders or
phone cradles, on or next to the airbag module covers or within
the airbags deployment zones.
Only use wheel rim/tire combinations approved by
Volkswagen for the respective vehicle type.
Break-in period

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.

reduce oil consumption.
Parts and accessories

WARNING
Changing the vehicle's suspension including use of unap-
proved tire-rim combinations can change airbag performance
and increase the risk of serious personal injury in a crash.
Never install suspension components that do not have the
same performance characteristics as the components originally
installed on your vehicle.
Never use tire-rim combinations that have not been approved
by Volkswagen.
WARNING
Leaving the optional safety belt extender attached to the safety
belt buckle on the front passenger seat when the safety belt is
not being used will prevent the Advanced Airbag System from
working properly and can increase the risk of serious personal
injury in a collision.
Leaving the extender attached to the safety belt buckle when
the front seat is occupied and the safety belt is not being used
will signal to the airbag control unit that the front passenger
seat is occupied and that the safety belt is being used. The
electronic control unit for the airbag system will then receive
incorrect information that will
– cause the safety belt pretensioner to deploy unnecessarily
in collisions and
– cause the front passenger airbag to deploy later in colli-
sions in which the front airbag would otherwise be triggered
earlier to help protect an unrestrained front seat passenger.
Always remove the safety belt extender when it is not needed
and stow it safely.
Never use the safety belt extender to secure a child restraint.
