DRIVING
TIPS

General
notes

• During the running-in period avoid trailer "owing as much as possible.
• It is advisable to have the vehicle ser-
.ced
between the Inspection intervals if it
s
used frequently for towing a trailer.
• ""he trailer and drawbar load figures on
:re
data plate of the towing bracket are for
:es:
certification only. The correct figures

forthe
vehicle, which may be lower than the
acove
figures, are given in the vehicle docu-

~e~:s
and in this manual.
• The towing bracket increases the un-
535"
weight of the towing vehicle and the

pay-load
must be reduced to correspond. In some countries (for example Germany)
the following additional legal requirements
apply:
• A special warning lamp must be
fitted
within
the driver's range of vision to show

that
the trailer
turn
signals are working.
• The maximum draw bar weight - see
page
151 - must be shown on a clearly
vis­

ible sticker at the rear of the towing vehicle.
• The installation of a towing bracket must
be
passed by a legally approved test centre

and
then proof of installation is entered in
the vehicle documents by the
traffic
author­ ity.
• The maximum speed permissible when towing a trailer is 80 km/h (50 mph).

GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
Engine oil
T

Viscosity and
specification

A
special,
high quality multigrade oil is put in
the engine at the factory and this can be
used
all the year round - except in very cold

climates.

As
a good engine oil is a prerequisite for
trouble free operation and long engine ser­

vice
life, only a correspondingly high quality oil may be used for topping up and at oil

changes.

The specifications shown on this page must be marked either separately or together

with
other specifications, on the containers.
When topping-up, the oils can be mixed

with
one another.
The viscosity class of the oil must be se­ lected in accordance
with
the illustration. If
the ambient temperature exceeds the given range briefly, the oil does not need to be

changed.

Important
note

Quite naturally engine oils are also being
continually developed. For this reason the statements in this Instruction Manual are
only in line
with
the current state at the time
of going to press.

Volkswagen
dealers are kept up-to-date by the factory regarding changes. For this
rea­
son
the oil change should preferably be
done by a Volkswagen dealer. F

Accessories,
modifications
and
renewal
of
parts

The Caravelle/Transporter is
built
in accord­
ance
with
the most modern principles of
safety technology and offers therefore a nigh degree of active and passive safety. To
ensure
that
this remains so the vehicle as supplied by the factory may not be modified
without
careful thought. The following
points must be noted if the vehicle is to be subsequently
fitted
with
accessories,
technically modified or have parts renewed ater on:
• Always consult a Volkswagen dealer be­
fore
purchasing accessories and
before
any modifications are carried out because
through close cooperation
with
us the Volk­
swagen
Organisation is particularly com-
oetent in such matters.

Attention
In
your
own
interests
we recom­

mend
that
only
genuine
acces­
sories or
only
expressly
approved

Volkswagen
accessories1 and
Genuine
Volkswagen
Parts
are used on
your
Caravelle/Trans­

porter.
The
reliability,
safety
and

suitability
of
these
accessories
and
these
parts
has
been

specially
determined
for the Ca­
ravelle/Transporter.
•
Despite
continuous
market
ob­

servation
we
cannot
assess or ac­

cept
responsibility
for
other

products
even
though
in some
cases
approval
has
been
given
by
a
legally
appointed
test
centre
or
an
official
permit
has
been
given.
• Approved Volkswagen accessories and
Genuine
Volkswagen Parts can be obtained
from Volkswagen dealers who will of
course
carry out the
fitting
correctly.
• Additionally connected electric
con­
sumers
e.g. cold box, horns, fans etc. must
correspond to the electromagnetic com­patibility as per DIN VDE 40 839. Otherwise
functional defects can occur in the vehicle.
• If technical modifications are to be
made,
our guidelines must be observed.

This
is to ensure
that
no damage occurs to
the vehicle, the
traffic
and operating safety
is
retained and
that
the modifications are

permissible.
Volkswagen dealers will also
carry out this work correctly or will recom­ mend a specialist workshop.

gross vehicle weight of the towing
vehicle and the permissible gross weight of the trailer. When the permissible trailer pay-load is fully utilized, in some
cases
the weight
of the towing vehicle must be correspondingly
reduced.
However, the towing vehicle must
not be lighter than the trailer.
