WARNING
Even if empty, portable fuel containers can leak and cause a
fire and serious personal injuries, especially in a crash.
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you do not
travel with a portable fuel container in your vehicle.
If, under exceptional circumstances, you must transport a
portable fuel container, please observe the following:
– Never fill a portable fuel container while it is anywhere in or
on the vehicle (for example, in the luggage compartment or
on top of the luggage compartment lid). Static electricity can
build up while filling and can ignite fuel vapors, causing a
fire.
– Always place a portable fuel container on the ground be-
fore filling. Never spill fuel inside the vehicle or luggage
compartment. Fuel vapors are highly flammable.
– Always keep the filler nozzle completely inside the portable
container before and during filling.
– If filling a portable container made of metal, the filler nozzle
must always be in contact with the container. This will help
prevent static electricity from discharging and causing a fire.
– Always observe local and state or provincial laws about the
use, storage, and transportation of portable fuel containers.
– Make certain that the portable fuel container meets indus-
try standards, such as ANSI/ASTM F852-86.
NOTICE
Remove fuel spills from the vehicle immediately to help pre-
vent damage to the paint, tires, and wheel housings.
Refueling with gasoline when your vehicle has a diesel engine
or refueling with diesel fuel when your vehicle has a gasoline
engine can cause very serious and expensive engine and fuel
system damage that is not covered by any Volkswagen Limited
Warranty.
If you put any amount of incorrect fuel in the fuel tank, do not
start the engine under any circumstances. Immediately contact
the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance. These fuels contain

WARNING
Starting fluids can explode and cause a run-away vehicle condi-
tion.
Never use starting assist fluids.
NOTICE
Never use fuel with an octane rating lower than 87 AKI /
91 RON. Using lower octane fuel may cause expensive engine
damage.
Never use leaded gasoline! Leaded gasoline will severely
damage your vehicle's catalytic converter.
Methanol-blended fuels that do not meet the criteria listed
above may cause corrosion and may damage plastic and rubber
parts in the fuel system.
Never use fuels that contain lead or other metals (check listing
on the fuel pump). Even lead replacement gasoline (LRP fuels)
contain metallic additives in high concentrations. They can
damage the engine.
Do not use fuels that fail to meet the criteria above, or with
contents that cannot be identified.
If you cannot tell whether a particular fuel blend meets the cri-
teria above, ask your service station or its fuel supplier. If you
notice a loss of fuel economy or drivability and performance
problems using one of these fuel blends, we recommend that
you switch to unblended fuel.
Using fuels that are different from those specified above can
damage your vehicle's engine and fuel system and cause per-
formance problems.
Damage to the engine and fuel system and performance prob-
lems caused by using fuels that are different from those speci-
fied above or by using “starting assist fluids” are not the re-
sponsibility of Volkswagen and are not covered under the Emis-
sion warranties or any other Volkswagen Limited Warranty.
Even a single tank full of leaded fuel can do major damage to the
catalytic converter and degrade its effectiveness in reducing polluting
emissions.

dipstick are located, see your authorized Volkswagen dealer or au-
thorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance.
5. Remove the dipstick from the guide tube and wipe the dipstick off
using a clean cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick into the guide tube and push it all the way in. If
there is an alignment tab on the engine oil dipstick, make sure it
lines up with the notch in the guide tube, and that the dipstick goes
all the way in.
7. Remove the dipstick again and read the oil level on the dipstick
⇒ fig. 165 as described below:
(A): Do not add any oil ⇒ . Continue with step 15.
(B): Oil may be added (about 1 pint / 0.5 liter). Continue with step 8
or step 15.
(C): You must add oil (about 1 quart / 1.0 liter). Continue with step
8.
8. After reading the oil level, reinsert the dipstick back into the guide
tube and push it all the way in.
9. Remove the cap on the engine oil filler opening ⇒ fig. 166.
10. Only add engine oil that Volkswagen has approved for that
engine. Add the oil gradually in small quantities (no more than
1 pint / 0.5 liter).
11. To help prevent overfilling, you must wait about 1 minute each
time you add oil so that the oil can flow into the oil pan up to the
marking on the dipstick.
12. Read the oil level on the dipstick again before adding another
small amount, if necessary. Never add too much oil ⇒ .
13. After adding oil, the level must at least be in the center of the
⇒ fig. 165 (B) area, but never above (A) ⇒ .
14. After adding oil, securely install the cap on the engine oil filler
opening. Otherwise, oil could leak out while the engine is running.
15. Insert the oil dipstick back in the guide tube and push it all the
way in.

WARNING
Improper use of jumper cables when jump-starting a vehicle
with a dead battery can cause the battery to explode, leading to
serious personal injury. To help reduce the risk of battery ex-
plosion:
All work on the batteries or the electrical system in your ve-
hicle can cause serious acid burns, fires, or electrical shocks.
Always read and heed the following WARNINGS and safety pre-
cautions before working on the batteries or the electrical sys-
tem ⇒  Vehicle battery.
Always make sure that the battery providing starting assis-
tance (the booster battery) has the same voltage as the dead
battery (12 V) and about the same amperage capacity (see bat-
tery label).
Never jump-start a vehicle with a thawed or frozen vehicle
battery. The battery can explode. A dead battery can freeze at
temperatures around +32 °F (0 °C).
A battery that is frozen or was frozen, but has since thawed,
must be replaced.
When the vehicle battery is jump-started, it gives off hydro-
gen gas, which is highly explosive! Always keep fire, sparks,
open flame, and smoking materials far away from vehicle bat-
teries. Never use a mobile telephone while connecting or dis-
connecting jumper cables.
Jump-start batteries only in well-ventilated areas. Batteries
give off highly explosive hydrogen gas during jump-starting.
Always route the jumper cables so that they cannot get
caught in any moving parts in the engine compartment.
Never short out the battery terminals by connecting the posi-
tive (+) and negative (-) terminals with each other.
Never connect the negative cable from the other vehicle di-
rectly to the negative terminal of the dead battery, as this may
cause the hydrogen gas given off by the dead battery to ex-
plode.
Never attach the negative cable from the vehicle providing
starting assistance to any part of the fuel system or to the
brake hoses or brake lines.

WARNING
Improper use of jumper cables when jump-starting a vehicle
with a dead battery can cause the battery to explode, leading to
serious personal injury. To help reduce the risk of battery ex-
plosion:
All work on the batteries or the electrical system in your ve-
hicle can cause serious acid burns, fires, or electrical shocks.
Always read and heed the following WARNINGS and safety pre-
cautions before working on the batteries or the electrical sys-
tem ⇒  Vehicle battery.
Always wear proper eye protection. Never lean over the vehi-
cle battery.
Attach the jumper cables in the correct order: first the posi-
tive cable, then the negative cable.
Never connect the negative cable from the vehicle providing
starting assistance to parts of the fuel system or to the brake
hoses or brake lines.
Never allow the non-insulated parts of the battery clamps to
touch.
Never allow the jumper cable attached to the positive battery
terminal to contact metal parts of the vehicle.
Check the battery acid level indicator window on the vehicle
battery. Use a flashlight, never a match, cigarette lighter, or
other open flame. If you cannot see the color of the window
clearly, or if it is light yellow or colorless, do not jump-start the
vehicle. Get expert assistance.
Avoid electrostatic discharge in the vicinity of the vehicle
battery. Sparks may cause the hydrogen gas escaping from the
vehicle battery to ignite.
Never jump-start a vehicle with a battery that is damaged or
frozen or that was frozen and has thawed. The battery can ex-
plode. Replace the battery instead.
Always follow the instructions of the jumper cable manufac-
turer.
Always make sure that the battery providing starting assis-
tance has the same voltage as the dead battery (12 V) and
about the same capacity (see battery label).
