Filling the tank incorrectly and incorrect handling of fuel can cause explosions, fire and
serious burns and injuries.
•Always ensure that the tank cap is properly closed, to prevent the evaporation and spillage
of fuel.
•Fuel is highly explosive and inflammable and can cause serious burns and other injuries.
•Fuel can spill out if the engine is not switched off or the filler nozzle is not fully inserted
into the fuel filler neck when filling the tank. This can cause fires, explosions and serious
burns and injuries.
•When filling the tank with fuel, the engine and the ignition must be switched off for safety
reasons.
•When filling the tank, always switch off your mobile telephone and two-way radio or any
other radio equipment. Electromagnetic radiation can generate sparks which can in turn
start a fire.
•Never get back into the vehicle while filling the tank. If in exceptional cases you have to
enter the vehicle, close the door and touch a metal object before touching the filler nozzle
again. This will remove any electrostatic charge from you. Failure to do so could generate
a spark. Sparks can cause a fire when filling the tank.
•Never fill the tank or fill up a spare canister near open flames, sparks or glowing matter
(e.g. cigarettes).
•Electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic radiation must be avoided when filling the
tank.
•Follow all applicable safety information provided by the filling station when filling the tank.
•Never spill fuel in the vehicle or in the luggage compartment.
WARNING
For safety reasons, Volkswagen does not recommend carrying a spare fuel canister in the
vehicle. Fuel can spill out of the full or empty canister and catch fire, especially in the event of
an accident. This could cause explosions, fire and injuries.
•If, in exceptional circumstances, you have to transport a spare fuel canister, please note
the following:
- When refilling never place the canister in or on top of the vehicle, for example in the
luggage compartment. There may be an electrostatic charge during refilling causing
the fuel fumes to ignite.
- Always place the spare fuel canister on the ground.
- When filling a spare fuel canister, place the filler nozzle as far as possible into the
filler opening.
- If the spare fuel canister is made of metal, the filler nozzle must have constant
contact with the canister in order to avoid static charging.
- Please follow all legislation concerning the use, stowage and transport of a spare
fuel canister.
- Ensure that the spare fuel canister is accordance with the industry standard, such
as ANSI or ASTM F852-86.
WARNING
•Remove spilt fuel from all vehicle components as quickly as possible in order to avoid
damage to the wheel housing, tyres and vehicle paint.
•Filling the tank with diesel in a vehicle with a petrol engine can cause serious and
expensive engine damage and cause damage to the fuel system that is not covered by any
Volkswagen guarantee. Do not start the engine under any circumstances if you have
refilled using the incorrect fuel. Seek expert assistance. The substances in these fuels can
cause serious damage to the fuel system and to the engine itself if it is switched on.

Things to note: if the vehicle is parked for an extended period directly after refuelling, it may well
occur that the pointer for the natural gas engine does not indicate the fuel level shown directly after
refuelling. This does not mean that there is a leak in the system but but rather that, for technical
reasons the pressure has been decreased in the natural gas tank.

Driving the vehicle when the fuel level is too low could lead to your vehicle breaking down in
traffic, accidents and serious injuries.
•When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular, especially
when driving up or down hills and inclines.
•The steering, all driver assist systems and brake assist systems will not function if the
engine sputters or stops completely due to a lack of fuel or irregular fuel supply.
•Always fill the tank when it is still 1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel and
breaking down.
WARNING
•To avoid damage to your vehicle, always observe the indicator lamps and associated
warning texts.
•Do not run the tank empty. Irregular filling periods can cause backfiring and allow unburnt
fuel to enter the exhaust system. This could cause damage to the catalytic converter!

Fuel
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Petrol
⇒ Natural gas
Different engines require different fuels. The factory-fitted sticker on the inside of the tank flap
indicates the fuel type that is required for your particular vehicle.
Volkswagen recommends using low-sulphur or sulphur-free fuels, to help reduce fuel consumption
and prevent damage to the engine.
If the engine is not running smoothly or begins to judder, this can indicate poor or inadequate fuel
quality, e.g. water in the fuel. If these symptoms appear, reduce the vehicle speed immediately and
drive to the nearest qualified workshop at medium engine speeds, avoiding high engine loading. If
these symptoms occur immediately after the vehicle has been refuelled, switch the engine off as
soon as it is safe to do so and seek expert assistance. This can help to prevent further damage.

Petrol
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Petrol types
Vehicles with a petrol engine must be run on unleaded petrol in compliance with the European
standard EN 228 or DIN 51626-1 ⇒. Fuels with a maximum ethanol content of 10% (E10) can
be used for refuelling.
Petrol types are categorised according to their octane number, e.g. 91, 95, 98 or 99 RON (RON =
Research Octane Number). The vehicle may be filled with petrol that has a higher octane number
Incorrect handling of fuel can cause explosions, fire and serious burns and injuries.
•Fuel is highly explosive and inflammable.
•Never handle fuel near open flames, sparks or glowing matter (e.g. cigarettes).
•Keep naked flames, hot parts and sparks at a safe distance.
•Switch off your mobile telephone or two-way radio when dealing with fuel. Electromagnetic
radiation can generate sparks which can in turn start a fire.
•Avoid electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic radiation in the direct vicinity of fuels.
•Never spill fuel in the vehicle or in the luggage compartment.
•Comply with any relevant safety information and legislation concerning the handling of
fuels.
WARNING

than the engine requires. However, this does not provide any advantage in terms of fuel
consumption or engine output.
Volkswagen recommends using fuel with a low sulphur content or sulphur-free fuel for petrol
engines in order to achieve reduced fuel consumption.
Petrol additives
The quality of petrol influences the running properties, performance and service life of the engine.
This is why the vehicle should be refuelled with good quality petrol that has only non-metallic
additives pre-added by the petroleum industry. These petrol additives help to prevent corrosion,
keep the fuel system clean, and prevent the build-up of deposits in the engine.
If good quality petrol containing non-metallic additives is not available, or if engine problems arise,
the necessary petrol additives must be added to the petrol when refuelling ⇒.
Not all petrol additives are effective. The use of unsuitable petrol additives can cause considerable
damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Metallic additives should be avoided at all times.
Petrol additives on sale that are intended to improve knock resistance or increase the octane
number can also contain metallic additives ⇒.
Volkswagen recommends genuine Volkswagen or Audi fuel additives for petrol engines. These
additives and information on how to use them are available from your Volkswagen dealership.
Natural gas engines
Run the petrol tank empty every 6 months until the indicator lamp  lights up. This is necessary to
maintain the required system function for petrol mode and fuel quality.
Natural gas
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Natural gas
Natural gas can be delivered in compressed or liquefied form.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is produced by rapid cooling of the natural gas. This decreases the
volume considerably in comparison to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). A vehicle equipped with a
natural gas engine may not be refilled directly with liquefied natural gas as the gas would expand
too much once in the tank in the vehicle.
Vehicles fitted with a natural gas engine may therefore only be refilled and driven using
compressed natural gas ⇒.
Natural gas quality and consumption
Natural gas is available in two grades: H-gas and L-gas.
H-gas has a higher calorific value and a lower nitrogen and carbon dioxide content. The higher the
calorific value of the natural gas the lower the levels of consumption.
The calorific value and the nitrogen or carbon dioxide values may, however, vary within one quality
group. For this reason, the vehicle consumption may vary when using natural gas of the same
quality.
•Before filling up with petrol, check whether the fuel corresponds to the vehicle's
requirements according to the fuel standard information at the pump.
•Only use fuel that complies with EN 228 or DIN 51626-1 and has the correct octane
number. Otherwise, the engine and the fuel system can suffer considerable damage. The
engine can also lose power or fail.
•The use of unsuitable petrol additives can cause considerable damage to the engine and
catalytic converter.
•If, in an emergency, you have to use petrol with an octane number lower than the
recommended number, drive at medium engine speeds and avoid high engine loading.
Avoid high engine speeds and heavy engine loads. Failure to do so can result in engine
damage. Fill the tank with petrol with the correct octane number as soon as possible.
•Fuels that are identified at the fuel pump as containing metallic additives may not be used.
LRP fuel (lead replacement petrol) also contains high concentrations of metallic additives.
Risk of engine damage!
•Just one tankful of leaded fuel, or fuel containing other metallic additives, can seriously
impair the efficiency of the catalytic converter and can also cause considerable damage to
the catalytic converter and engine.
NOTICE

The vehicle engine management will automatically adapt to the different natural gas qualities. Both
natural gas qualities can therefore be mixed in the fuel tank. You do not need to empty the tank
before refuelling with a different grade.
Natural gas
The vehicle can run on natural gas. Further information is available from your local Volkswagen
dealership.
Safe handling of natural gas
If you can smell gas or think there may be a leak in the natural gas system ⇒:
•Stop the vehicle immediately.
•Switch off the ignition.
•Open all the doors to fully ventilate the vehicle.
•Extinguish cigarettes immediately.
•Remove items that could cause sparks or fire from the vehicle or switch them off.
•Do not drive on if you can still smell gas.
•Seek expert assistance. Have the fault rectified.
Have the natural gas system checked regularly according to the service schedule by a
qualified workshop.
