CAUTION
Fuel may run out of a fuel canister. This could cause fire and injuries.


Fuels can pollute the environment. Collect any service fluids that escape or are spilled and dispose of
them correctly.

The tank flap cannot be opened manually. Seek expert assistance in an emergency.
Fuel types and refuelling
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Fuel standards 
⇒ Petrol 
⇒ Diesel 
⇒ Refuelling 
The tank flap is located at the rear right-hand side of the vehicle.
Different engines require different fuels. There is a factory-fitted sticker in the tank flap that
indicates the required fuel type for the vehicle.

WARNING
Incorrect refuelling can lead to fire, serious injuries and vehicle damage.

At cold temperatures, louder noises may occur in the diesel engine and the exhaust gas may be
tinged blue.

WARNING
Overfilling the fuel tank may cause the fuel to splash out and overflow. This can cause fires,
explosions and serious injuries.

⇒ Checking the engine oil level and refilling the engine oil .
⇒ Jump starting the vehicle .
If you notice misfiring, loss of power or uneven running when driving, reduce speed immediately and
have the vehicle checked by a qualified workshop ⇒ Troubleshooting . Otherwise unburnt fuel can
enter the exhaust system and escape into the atmosphere. The catalytic converter can also be
damaged by overheating.

The emissions may have a sulphur-like smell even when the exhaust purification system is working
properly.

Periodic regeneration
The soot in the particulate filter is burnt off at high temperatures on a periodic basis.
To assist the regeneration of the particulate filter, Volkswagen recommends that you avoid making
only short journeys.
Noises, slight smells and increased engine speeds may occur during regeneration. The radiator fan
may run on while the vehicle is moving or when the engine has been switched off.

During the periodic regeneration process, the yellow indicator lamp does not light up.

The windscreen washer fluid reservoir has a capacity of about 3.0–7.5 litres, according to the vehicle
equipment.

WARNING
Never mix coolant additive or other unsuitable additives into the washer fluid. These may leave an
oily film on the screen, restricting the field of vision.

-freeze agent should be added to the washer fluid if necessary.

NOTICE

damage.
Engine oil
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Engine oil standards 
⇒ Changing engine oil 
⇒ Engine oil consumption 
⇒ Checking the engine oil level and refilling the engine oil 
⇒ Troubleshooting 
The engine oils are not only tailored to the requirements of engines and exhaust gas treatment
systems, but also to fuel quality. Due to the way in which a combustion engine works, engine oil
always comes into contact with combustion residues and fuel, which has corresponding effects on
the ageing process of the oil. The correct engine oil is important for the function and service life of
the engine. A special multigrade high-lubricity oil has been filled at the factory and this can normally
be used as an all-season oil.

a) In certain European countries, the activation of or permission to use radio technology may be
restricted, not possible, or possible only when additional requirements have been fulfilled.
Technical data
Notes on technical data
Unless otherwise indicated or separately listed, the technical data apply to the basic model. The
values may differ if additional equipment is fitted, for different model versions and for special
vehicles and in the case of country-specific vehicle specifications. All data in the official vehicle
documents take precedence over these data.
Engine
The vehicle data sticker and the official vehicle documents show which engine is installed in your
vehicle.
Weight
The values for the kerb weight in the following tables apply for the road-ready vehicle with driver
(75 kg), service fluids including fuel tank carrying 90% of its capacity and, where applicable, tools and
spare tyre ⇒ . Additional equipment and retrofitted accessories increase the stated kerb weight
and reduce the maximum permitted load accordingly.
The load comprises the weights of the following:


system

Performance figures
In certain vehicles with heavy duty running gear, the engine could be governed to provide a
maximum speed of 210 km/h.
The performance figures were measured without equipment which may negatively influence
performance, such as a roof carrier or mudflaps.
Gross combination weight
The specified gross combination weights are applicable only for altitudes up to 1,000 m above sea
level. The maximum gross combination weight must be reduced by approximately 10% for every
further started 1,000 m in altitude.
Notes on the tables
Gearbox abbreviations: MG = manual gearbox, AG = automatic gearbox, DSG® = DSG® dual clutch
gearbox. MG6 = 6-speed manual gearbox.
