fluid,
the system may not detect that the tank has

A WARNING
AdBlue can cause irritation to the
skin,
eyes,
and respiratory organs. Wash thoroughly with
clean water should you come into contact
with this
fluid.
Seek medical assistance if neeÂ
ded.
© CAUTION
- Use only
AdBLue
that complies with the ISO
22241-1 standard. Do not mix AdBlue with
additives and do not dilute it with water.
- AdBlue must not be added to the diesel
tank, and diesel must not be added to the
AdBlue tank. Never start the engine if you
fill up with the wrong type of
fuel,
as this
could damage the tank system and the enÂ
gine.
Obtain professional assistance.
-AdBlue attacks surfaces such as paintwork,
plastic veneer and carpets. Remove spilt
fluÂ
id as soon as possible with a damp cloth and
plenty of water. If the AdBlue has already
solidified,
use warm water and a sponge.
Residues of AdBlue solidify after
a
while if
they are not removed and can damage the
affected surface.
- Do not keep refill bottles or canisters in the
vehicle, as AdBlue can leak and damage the
vehicle interior.
- Keep AdBlue away from clothing. Wash
thoroughly with clean water should you
come into contact with this
fluid.

Emission controL
systems
Catalytic converter
Applies to: vehicles with petrol engine
The vehicle must only be used with unleaded petÂ
rol,
otherwise the catalytic converter will be irÂ
reparably damaged.
Never allow the fuel tank to run completely dry,
as the irregular supply of fuel can cause misfirÂ
ing.
This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust
system,
which can cause overheating and damÂ
age to the catalytic converter.
Diesel particulate filter
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
The diesel particulate filter can filter out almost
all soot particles contained in the exhaust gas. In
normal driving conditions the filter is self-cleanÂ
ing.
Should the self-cleaning function of the filter
not be able to operate, e.g. when the vehicle is
continuously used only for short trips, the filter
becomes obstructed with soot and the indicator
lampnf°r

diesel particulate filter Lights up
cépage

A WARNING
The exhaust system is very hot when the
vehiÂ
cle is being driven and after the engine has
been switched off.
- Never touch the tailpipes when they are hot
- risk of burns!
- Because of the high temperatures which can
occur in the emission controL system, do not
park the vehicle where the exhaust can
come into contact with flammable materials
under the car (e.g. on grass or at the forest
edge) - risk of fire!
- Do not apply any underseal agents in the
area around the exhaust system - risk of
fire!
Engine compartment
Working on components in the engine
compartment
Extra caution is necessary when working on comÂ
ponents in the engine compartment.
Always be aware of the danger of injury and
scalding as well as the risk of accident or fire
when working in the engine compartment (e.g.
when checking and refilling fluids). Always obÂ
serve the warnings listed below and follow all
normal safety precautions. The engine compartÂ
ment of any motor vehicle is a potentially hazÂ
ardous area
oA-
A WARNING
- Switch off the engine.
-Switch off the ignition.
-Applythe
parking brake.
- On vehicles with manual gearbox place the
gear lever in neutral, on vehicles with autoÂ
matic gearbox move the selector lever to
position P.
- To avoid the risk of being scalded, never
open the bonnet if
you
see steam or coolant
escaping from the engine compartment.
Wait until no steam or coolant can be seen
before opening the bonnet.
- Wait for the engine to cool down.
- Keep children away from engine compartÂ
ment.
- Never spill fluids on a hot engine. These
fluÂ
ids can cause a fire (e.g. radiator
antiÂ
freeze).
- Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system.
- When working in the engine compartment
be aware that the radiator fan may start
running suddenly, even if the ignition is
switched off - risk of injury!
- Do not unscrew the cap on the expansion
tank when the engine is hot. The cooling
system is under pressure.
- Protect face, hands and arms by covering
the cap with a large, thick rag to protect
against escaping coolant and steam.

Checking and topping up fluids
If
you
have to top up the oil between oil changes,
use the grades of oil specified in the table in acÂ
cordance with VW standards.
You will need to know whether
- the vehicLe is being serviced based on the
flexiÂ
ble or fixed oil change service (see last service
record).
- the vehicle has a petrol or diesel engine (see
sticker on inside of fuel tank flap).

In this case use only water and bring
the coolant concentration back up to the
correct level as soon as possible by putting

cold,
the coolant level should be between the

slightly above the top mark.
Topping up coolant
Important: The coolant expansion tank must not

•
Screw the cap on again tightly.
Any loss of coolant normally indicates a Leak in
the cooling system. Drive to a qualified workshop
without delay and have the cooling system
checked.
If there are no leaks in the system, a
loss of coolant can only occur if the coolant boils
and is forced out of the system as a result of
overheating.

Battery
General warnings for batteries
Because of the complexity of the power supply,
any battery work, such as disconnection, replaceÂ
ment, etc. must be carried out by
a
qualified
workshop
^A-
The term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
Explanation of warnings on vehicle battery:
m
Wear safety glasses!
Battery acid is extremely corrosive. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses.
A
Keep open flames, sparks, uncovered
Lights and lit cigarettes away from the
battery!
A highly explosive mixture of gases may
~\
be given off when the battery is under
charge!
Keep children away from batteries and
battery
acid.
A WARNING
Any work on the batteries and electrical sysÂ
tem in your vehicLe entails a risk of injury and
chemical burns in addition to danger of
acciÂ
dent or fire. For this reason, you must have
the work carried out by a qualified workshop.

CA UTION
If the car is left standing for long periods,
protect the battery from frost. The battery
will be damaged irreparably if it is allowed to
freeze
^>page

batÂ
tery.
Vehicle battery
The
term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
If the vehicle is not used for long periods
If
you
do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are
using.
This limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
long period
^>page
149. Certain convenience feaÂ
tures,
such as interior lighting or electric seat adÂ
justment, may not be available. These functions
will be restored when you switch on the ignition
and start the engine.
Even though some systems are deactivated autoÂ
matically, certain electrical equipment continues
to draw current even when the ignition is off. If
the vehicLe is left standing for long periods, this
can result in total battery discharge. If the
vehiÂ
cle battery is allowed to discharge completely, an
internal
chemicaL
reaction damages the battery
irreparably. To avoid this, the vehicle battery
should be recharged at Least once a month
^>page
303. PLease contact a qualified workshop
if
you
have any questions.
Winter conditions
Cold weather is very hard on the vehicle battery.
The starting capacity may be reduced as a result.
For this reason, you should have the vehicle batÂ
tery checked by
a
qualified workshop before the
start of winter.

holder and fasten the straps.
Check how the fire extinguisher works before you
need to use it. The instructions for use are shown
on the fire extinguisher.
A WARNING
If the fire extinguisher is not secured properly
it could be catapulted through the vehicle
during driving and braking manoeuvres or in
the event of an accident. This poses a risk of
injury to occupants.
© Note
- The fire extinguisher must be replaced with
a new one after use or once it has reached
its expiry date.
