VEHICLE OPERATION

OPERATE
YOUR VEHICLE ECONOMICALLY AND
MINIMIZE
POLLUTION
Your
personal
style
of
driving
determines your operating costs,
exhaust
emissions and noise levels. To obtain the best
possi­

ble fuel economy,
minimize
pollution
and

save
wear and tear on the engine, brakes
and tires, observe the following points:
• Keep a
light
foot
on the accelerator.
• Drive smoothly, avoid abrupt changes
in speed as much as possible.
• Avoid jack rabbit starts and sudden

stops.

• Avoid unnecessary idling. Turn the
engine off.
• "Warm up" idling wastes gas. Start the
engine
just
before you are ready to drive.

Accelerate
slowly and smoothly.
• Do not drive longer than necessary in
the lower gears. By upshifting early you
can
economize on fuel consumption. • Organize your trips to include in several
errands.
• Any additional weight carried in the
vehicle reduces fuel economy. Always keep cargo to a minimum and remove all

unnecessary
items.
• Remove roof and ski racks when not in

use.

• All electrical consumers contribute to

increased
fuel consumption. Therefore,

use
fan, rear window defogger, etc., only
when needed.
• Check your vehicle's fuel consumption
regularly. Keep a
written
tally sheet or use
the
trip
odometer. Fuel consumption will
vary
with
traffic, road and weather condi­
tions.
• Have your vehicle serviced by an

Volkswagen
dealer at the specified inter­
vals
(see page 95 and your Maintenance brochure). • Air cleaner should be inspected to

assure
proper engine "breathing".
• Battery should be fully charged.
• Wheels should be properly aligned.
• Tires should be inflated to correct pres­

sures.
Check
tire
pressures regularly - at least once a month.
• The published ENVIRONMENTAL-
PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) and Trans­

port
Canada
mileage
estimates
may not

agree
with
your
actual
highway
mileage

which
will
vary,
depending
upon
vehicle
load
and speed,
road
and
weather
condi­

tions,
trip
length,
etc.
• Have the engine oil level checked
with

every fuel filling. Engine oil consumption
is
normal but tends to be higher when the
engine is new. The use of quality engine oil
and a correct engine oil level are essential
for vehicle performance and economical operation at all times.

DO-IT-YOURSELF-SERVICE

LIFTING
VEHICLE

The vehicle should
never
be lifted or
jacked
up from underneath the engine
oil
pan, the transmission housing, or the

front
or rear axle.
This
could lead to serious damage.
The same lifting points as illustrated for the hoist also apply when using a floor jack. To
avoid damage to the underbody or chassis

frame,
it is necessary to insert a rubber pad between the floor jack and the lift

points.

Lifting
with workshop hoist
and with floor jack

Make
sure there is sufficient clearance
between pads and vehicle before driving
vehicle on to hoist.
WARNING
When removing components such as engine block, transmission housing,

fuel
tank, wheels,
front
or rear axle, anchor vehicle to hoist or add corre­
sponding weights to maintain the cen­
ter of
gravity.
Otherwise the vehicle
might tilt or slip off the hoist, causing
serious damage or personal
injury.
•
To reduce the risk of serious perso­

nal
injury
and vehicle damage, lift
vehicle only at the special workshop hoist and floor jack lift points illustra­

ted.
Failure to lift vehicle at these points could cause the vehicle to tilt or
fall

from a lift when, for example,
heavy
components such as the engine block
or transmission are removed result­
ing
in a change in vehicle weight and

balance.

•
If you must lift
your
vehicle with a
floor jack to work underneath, be sure
the vehicle is safely supported on
stands
intended for this purpose.
Lifting
points

Front

front
jacking point.
Rear

The vehicle must be lifted only at the lift
points illustrated.
