WINDSHIELD / REAR WINDOW WASHER CONTAINER*
The filler cap is iocated at the left side of the driver's footwell.
Vehicles with rear window wiper and washer have an additional container on
the right in the luggage compartment.
The capacities of the containers are: Windshield washer
container 4.3 qt/4.2 liters Rear window washer
container 1.1 qt/1.0 liters
Filling the containers
To fill the container, unsnap cover and un­ screw the filler cap. After filling the
con­

tainer, screw the cap on tightly and close
cover. Since clear water is usually not adequate
for cleaning the glass, add a cleaning
solu­

tion to the water.
Use winterized washer solvent during the
cold season. It helps to keep your
windshield and rear window clean and pre­
vents the fluid from freezing in the winter.
Do not use engine coolant antifreeze or
any other solution that can damage the
vehicle paint.
Follow the directions on the can for the
correct amount to be used.
After filling the container press the cap onto the filler neck. Adjusting washer jets
When vehicle is stationary, the wate- should hit the windshield as illustrated.
The washer jet for the rear window shoulc be adjusted so that the fluid hits the glass
in the center of the wiped area.
The jets can be adjusted with a needle.
The jets for the headlight washer system' can only be adjusted with a special
tool.
If necessary contact your Volkswagen
deal­

er.

DRIVING

VEHICLE CARE

Remember
the following points when
criving in the
winter:

• Winter weather is particularly hard on
ne battery. We recommend having the cattery
checked,
preferably by a
Volks­

wagen dealer, before the cold weather starts - see page 110.
If the vehicle is
left
standing for several
iveeks
at extremely low temperatures, the

rattery
should be removed - see page 111
=or
further
details. • Have the antifreeze concentration in
the cooling system checked before the cold weather starts - see page 107.
• The engine oil must have the correct
viscosity grade for the outside tempera­
tures to be expected - see page 98.
• The best way to protect the bodywork is
to wash and wax it frequently, especially in
winter - see page 90.
• Always use a windshield washer
fluid

with
antifreeze for the windshield and rear
window washer system in winter - see page 112. • Use a scraper to remove snow and ice

from
the windows - see page 91.
• On winter roads the use of winter tires
or all-weather tires
will
improve handling;
this also applies to vehicles
with
all-wheel
drive - see pages 78 and 118.
• When driving in the mountains in winter
it is best to take along a set of snow chains.

Snow
chains may be compulsory for some
mountain roads, and this restriction also

applies
to vehicles
with
all-wheel drive -

see
pages 78 and 119.
