Notes

Spark
plugs are replaced during the Volks­
wagen scheduled Maintenance service. If
you replace the spark plugs between the

Volkswagen
Maintenance services, the
following should be noted: • Engine, spark plugs and the ignition
system are matched. To avoid faulty opera­

tion
or engine damage, use only Original

Volkswagen
spark plugs. It is especially important to note the number of electrodes
and heat value. • Since spark plug specifications may

change
for technical reasons during a cur­
rent
model year, we recommend
that
you
obtain your spark plugs from a Volks­
wagen dealer who has the latest informa­
tion.

WEIGHTS

The vehicle capacity weight (max. load), the
Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR),

and
the
Gross
Axle Weight Ratings
(GAWR)
for
front
and rear, are listed on the

Safety
Compliance Sticker on the
left
door-
jamb.
The gross vehicle weight rating includes the weight
of the
basic
vehicle plus
full

fuel tank,
oil and
coolant, plus max. load which combines passenger (150 pounds/
68 kg per designated seating position) and luggage weight. Luggage weight
is not

increased
by the use of a
roof rack,

unless
passenger capacity
is
reduced
accordingly.
The gross axle weight rating
is the
maxi­ mum load
that
can be applied
at
each axle
of the vehicle.

Syncro

When driving off-road,
the
Gross
Vehicle
Weight
(GVWR)
must
be
reduced
by 440
lbs (200 kg).
WARNING

•
The actual
gross
axle
weight
rating
at the
front
and rear axles should not
exceed the permissible weights, and

their
combination must not exceed the
Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating.

•
Exceeding permissible
weight

ratings can result in vehicle damage,
accidents and personal injury.
Note

The vehicle capacity weight figures apply when
the
load
is
distributed evenly
in the

vehicle (passengers
and
luggage). When
transporting
a
heavy load
in the
luggage
compartment,
the
load should be carried
as
near
to
the rear axle as possible so
that
the

vehicle's
handling
is not
impaired.
On no
account should
you
exceed
the
maximum
permissible axle loads
or the
maximum

gross
vehicle weight. Always remember
that

the vehicle's handing
will
be
affected by
the
extra
load,
and
adjust your speed accord­ingly.
Roof
weights

The maximum permissible roof weight
on
the station wagon
and
kombi
is 220 lb,
100
kg. The
roof luggage rack
on the

campmobile
with
pop-up roof allows only 110 lb/50 kg.

For
more details see page 68.

Maximum permissible
trailer

weights

Braked
trailer 900 kg (2,000 lb.) Unbraked trailer 600 kg (1,3201b.)
Tongue load 75 kg
(
1651b.)

Do not exceed the
weight
limitations of
your
trailer
hitch.
