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
(

Do not exceed the
weight
limitations of
