WARNING
Driving with a fuel tank that is almost empty can lead to stalling in traffic, a collision, and serious personal injuries.
x When the fuel tank is almost empty, fuel supply to the engine can be interrupted, especial-ly when driving over bumps, across slopes, and up and down hills.
x Steering and braking assistance as well as ESC and related systems will not work if the engine “sputters” or stalls due to lack of fuel.
x Always refuel when the tank is 1/4 full to reduce the risk of running out of fuel and stalling in traffic.
NOTICE
x Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in vehicle damage.
x Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty. The irregular fuel supply can cause the engine to misfire. This allows unburned fuel to get into the exhaust system and damage the catalytic converter.
NOTICE
If the fuel tank venting system malfunctions and the fuel tank cannot be properly vented before refueling:
x Gasoline fumes can escape from the fuel filler neck, resulting in temporary odors.
x The fuel nozzle may shut off during refueling and it will take longer to refuel the vehicle. Only in this situation can you continue to carefully refuel your vehicle after the fuel nozzle shuts off.
x See your Authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility to have your vehicle checked.
The small arrow next to the gas pump symbol in the fuel gauge ⇒ fig. 144 shows the side of the vehicle with the fuel filler flap.
