Service fluids and consumables
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
All service fluids and consumables, e.g. toothed belts, tyres, coolant, engine oil, spark plugs and
vehicle batteries, are being constantly developed. For this reason, service fluids and consumables
should be replaced at a qualified workshop. A Volkswagen dealership is always kept up to date on
innovations.
Leaking service fluids can pollute the environment. Spilt service fluids must be collected in
suitable containers and disposed of properly and with respect for the environment.
Repairs and technical modifications
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Repairs and modifications must always be carried out according to Volkswagen specifications⇒
.
Unauthorised modifications to the electronic components or software in the vehicle may cause
faults. As the electronic components are linked together in networks, these faults may indirectly
affect the working of other systems. This can seriously impair safety, lead to excessive wear of
components, and also invalidate the type approval for the vehicle.
The Volkswagen dealership cannot be held liable for any damage caused by technical
modifications and/or work performed incorrectly.
The Volkswagen dealership cannot be held liable for any damage caused by technical
modifications and/or work performed incorrectly, nor are these covered by the Volkswagen
guarantee.
Volkswagen recommends that all repairs and technical modifications are performed by an
authorised Volkswagen dealership using Volkswagen Genuine Parts.
Vehicles with special auxiliary equipment or body parts
The manufacturer of these components must ensure that these parts (fittings) adhere to the
stipulated environmental laws and regulations, particularly the EU directive 2000/53/EC concerning
end-of-life vehicles and EU directive 2003/11/EC concerning the restriction on the marketing and
use of certain dangerous substances and preparations.
Incorrectly performed repairs or modifications to your vehicle can impair the effectiveness of
the airbags, cause faults, accidents and fatal injury.
•Never secure or mount objects such as drink holders or telephone holders either on or
next to the airbag covers or within the deployment zones of the airbag modules.
•Objects either on or next to the airbag module covers or are in the deployment zone of the
airbags can cause serious or even fatal injuries should the airbags be activated.
WARNING
Unsuitable service fluids and consumables, and the incorrect use of these fluids and
consumables, can cause accidents, serious injuries, burns or poisoning.
•Service fluids must be kept in their original sealed container.
•Never store service fluids in empty food containers, bottles or any other non-original
containers as people finding these containers could drink them.
•Keep children away from all service fluids and consumables.
•Always read and follow the information and warnings on the service fluid packaging.
•When using products that give off harmful fumes, always work outdoors or in a well-
ventilated area.
•Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, nail varnish remover or other volatile fluids for
vehicle care. They are toxic and highly flammable. They could cause fires and explosions.
WARNING
•Only use suitable service fluids for refilling. Never use the wrong service fluid. Failure to
observe this warning can result in serious malfunctions and engine damage.
•Optional equipment and other accessories in front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect
of the coolant. The engine may overheat at high ambient temperatures and high engine
loads.
NOTICE

After changing a wheel
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
•Clean the tools as necessary and place them back in the foam rubber holder in the luggage
compartment ⇒ Vehicle toolkit.
•Stow the spare wheel, temporary spare wheel or the removed wheel safely in the luggage
compartment.
•The tightening torque of the wheel bolts should be checked immediately with a torque wrench
⇒ Tightening torque for the wheel bolts.
•The damaged wheel should be replaced as soon as possible.
Breakdown set
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Contents of the breakdown set
⇒ Preparation
⇒ Sealing and inflating tyres
⇒ Test after driving for 10 minutes
You can use the breakdown set (tyre mobility set) to safely seal any tyre damage caused by foreign
bodies or punctures (up to 4 mm in diameter). Do not remove foreign objects (e.g. screws or
nails) from the tyre!
Once the sealant has been added to the tyre, the tyre pressure must be checked again after
approximately 10 minutes of driving.
Seek expert assistance if more than one vehicle tyre is damaged. The breakdown set is only
designed for filling one tyre.
Only use the breakdown set if the car is parked in a safe place, you are familiar with the required
actions and safety procedures, and you have access to the correct breakdown set. Seek expert
assistance if this is not the case.
The tyre sealant must not be used:
•If the rim is damaged.
•If the outside temperature is below -20°C (-4°F).
•If there are cuts or punctures in the tyre that are larger than 4 mm.
•If the tyre pressure is very low or the tyres are flat.
•If the use-by date on the tyre filler bottle has expired.
•If a foreign object has been removed from the tyre.

grease. The wheel bolts must be easy to turn and be tightened to the specified torque.
•The hexagonal socket in the screwdriver handle should only be used for turning wheel
bolts, not use for loosening or tightening them.
