the cold months. In countries with different climates, diesel with a different temperature behaviour
is offered. Information is available from your Volkswagen dealership, qualified workshops and filling
stations in the respective country.

Misfuelling prevention device
The tank filler neck in diesel vehicles may be fitted with a misfuelling prevention device. This is
intended to help ensure that the vehicle is refuelled only using diesel filler nozzles.
If the nozzle cannot be inserted correctly into the tank filler neck, first check whether you are using a
diesel filler nozzle. When you have made sure that you are using the correct filler nozzle, move the
diesel filler nozzle to and fro slightly with light pressure. This can open the misfuelling prevention
device and make it possible to refuel the vehicle. If the misfuelling prevention device still remains
closed, go to a qualified workshop and have the system checked.
If it is necessary to refuel the vehicle using a fuel canister in the event of an emergency, the
misfuelling prevention device will not open. In order to nevertheless fill the tank with fuel, pour the
diesel into the tank extremely slowly in very small quantities.

engine.
The vehicle may consume up to 1.0 litre of engine oil per 2,000 km, depending on your driving style
and the conditions in which the car is used. In new vehicles, consumption may be higher for the first
5,000 km. The engine oil level must therefore be checked at regular intervals, preferably each time
the vehicle is refuelled and before long journeys.
