A WARNING ~~-~ ,c_. ""]
Incor rec t handling of the wheels and tyres
can lead to a sudden loss of pressure in the
tyres , trea d separation and even tyre blow­out.
• Check tyre pressures regularly and always
keep to the specified tyre pressure value. If
the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre could
warm up to such an extent that the tread may
separate and the tyre could burst
~e monitor indicator lamp
• Always maintain correct cold tyre inflation
pressure as listed on the tyre pressure label
=>page 308 .
• Check tyre inflation pressure regularly
when the tyres are cold. Adjust tyre pressure
in the cold tyre to the recommended tyre
pressure for the tyres installed on your vehi­
cle as necessary.
• Check your tyres regularly for signs of
w ea r or damage.
• Never exceed the top speed and load per­
mitted for the fitted tyres.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine oil specification
r-T'n First read and observe the introductory
L-WJ information and safety warnings~ on
page 281.
The engine oil used must correspond exactly to
specifications .
The correct engine oil is important for the function
and service l
ife of the engine . A special high quali­
ty multigrade oil has been filled at the factory and
th is can
normally be used as an all-season oil.
If possible , only use Volkswagen-approved engine
o il
~CD. To comply with the requirements of the
flexible service, only use approved flexible service
engine oil that
complies with the corresponding
VW standard (~table on page 282). The engine
o ils listed are
multigrade high-lubricity oils.
Engine oils are constantly being developed and
im­
proved . A Volkswagen dealership is always kept
up to date on innovations . Volkswagen therefore
recommends having engine oil changes done by a
Volkswagen dealership. The
qu
ality of the engine oil is not only ta ilor ed to
the requirements of engines and exhaust gas treat.
ment systems, but also to fuel quality . Due to the
way
in which a combustion engine works, engine
oil always comes into contact with combustion
resl­
dues and fuel, which has a kno ck-o n effect on the
ageing process of the oil.
The quality of fuels can var y gr ea tly between lndl·
vidual markets and this must be take n Into account
when selecting the correct engine oil.
The use of engine oils compliant with the
VW
504 00 und VW 507 00 specific ations requires
a fuel quality compliant with EN 228 (petrol) and
EN 590 (diesel). Engine oils compliant with
VW
504 00 und VW 507 00 are therefore unsult·
able for use in a large number of markets.
