Speedometer with distance display
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and the
distance travelled.The distance is normally stated in kilometres (km). On some models,
however, the mileage recorder will show “miles”.
Lower distance display
The lower distance display records the vehicle's total mileage.
Upper distance display (trip recorder)
The upper distance display shows the distance that has been travelled since
the trip recorder was last reset. It is used to measure short journeys. The last
digit of the trip recorder indicates dist ances of 100 metres or tenths of a mile.
The upper distance display can be reset to zero by pressing the reset button
⇒ fig. 42 . Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument panel, the letters
DEF will permanently
appear in the trip recorder display. Please have the fault rectified as soon as
possible.
Electronic immobiliser
The vehicle key data is consulted when the ignition is switched on.
If an uncoded key is used, the message SAFE will appear in the trip recorder
display. The vehicle can no longer be started if that happens.
Fuel reserveThe display only works when the ignition is switched on.
When the needle reaches the reserve zone, the symbol
 lights up in the
instrument cluster display ⇒ page 79. At this point there are still about 8 to
10 litres of fuel left in the tank. This is your reminder to fill up soon.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the Technical data section
⇒ page 282.
Caution
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is an irregular fuel supply, misfiring
can occur. This means that fuel could reach the exhaust system without
burning. This may lead to the cata lytic converter reheating and being
damaged.

Checking and refilling levels
210PetrolPetrol types
The recommended fuel types are listed on a sticker inside the
fuel tank flap.Only unleaded petrol, corresponding to the standard DIN EN 228 , may be
used for vehicles with catalytic converters (EN = “European Standard”).
Fuel types are differentiated by the octane rating, e.g: 91, 95, 98 RON (RON
= “Regulation Octane Number, unit for determining the knock resistance of
petrol”). You may use petrol with a high er octane number than the one recom-
mended for your engine. However, this has no advantage in terms of fuel
consumption and engine power.
The correct fuel type for your vehicle is given in the technical table for the
engine. Section “Technical Data”
Caution
•
Petrol that follows EN 228 may be mixe d with small quantities of ethanol.
However, the so-called “bioethanol fuels” available at commercial establish-
ments, e.g. with reference E50 or E85, which contain a high percentage of
ethanol, may not be used, as they will damage the fuel system.
•
Even one tankful of leaded fuel woul d permanently impair the efficiency
of the catalytic converter.
•
High engine speed and full throttle can damage the engine when using
petrol with an octane rating lower than the correct grade for the engine.For the sake of the environment
Just one full tank of leaded fuel would seriously impair the efficiency of the
catalytic converter.
Petrol additives
Petrol additives improve the quality of the petrol.The quality of the petrol influences running behaviour, performance and
service life of the engine. For this re ason, you should use good quality petrol
containing additives. These additives will help to prevent corrosion, keep the
fuel system clean and prevent deposits from building up in the engine.
If good quality petrol with additives is not available or engine problems occur,
the required additives must be added during refuelling.DieselDiesel*Diesel fuel must correspond to DIN EN 590 (EN = “European standard”). It
must have a cetane number (CN) of at least 51. The cetane number indicates
the ignition quality of the diesel fuel.
Notes on refuelling ⇒page 208.Biodiesel*The biodiesel fuel must comply wi th the DIN EN 14.214 (FAME) Standard.•
Biodiesel is a methylester obtained from rapeseed oil.
•
DIN is the German abbreviation for “ Deutsches Institut für N ormung e.V.”,
the German standards institute.
•
EN means European Norm.
•
FAME is the English abbreviation for “F atty Acid Methyl Ester”.

NoteOn right-hand drive vehicles some of the containers/ reservoirs mentioned
below are located on the other side of the engine compartment.Closing the bonnet– To close the bonnet, pull it down to overcome the spring pres- sure.
– Leave the bonnet secured in the locking part. Do not tighten
⇒ .
WARNING
•
For safety reasons the bonnet must always be completely closed when
the vehicle is moving. After closing it always check that it is properly
secured. The bonnet must be flus h with the adjacent body panels.
•
Should you notice that the bonnet is not safely secured when the
vehicle is moving, stop the vehicle immediately and close the bonnet.
Failure to do so could result in an accident.
Engine oilGeneral notesWe recommend you to entrust the oil change with your Technical Service or a
qualified workshop, according to the Maintenance Program. The correct oil specifications for your engine are listed in the
Technical data
section ⇒page 282.
Check that the specifications quoted (VW standards) appear on the container
either singly or in combination with other specifications.
Fixed service intervals*
You can use oils for service intervals - ⇒ page 282. In this case, your car must
be serviced after a fixed interval of 1 year / 15,000 km (10,000 miles) see
Service Schedule.
•
In exceptional circumstances, if the engine oil level is too low
⇒ page 215 and you cannot obtain the oi l specified for your vehicle, you can
put in a small quantity of oil conforming to the specification ACEA A2 or
ACEA A3 (petrol engines) or ACEA B3 or ACEA B4 (diesel engines) (up to 0.5l).
Vehicles with diesel particulate filter*
The Service Schedule states whether your vehicle is fitted with a diesel partic-
ulate filter.
•
Vehicles with a diesel particulate filter must only b e f ill e d wi th VW 507 00
engine oil.
•
Avoid mixing this oil with other engine oils.
•
Only in exceptional circumstances, if the engine oil level is too low
⇒ page 215 and you cannot obtain the oi l specified for your vehicle, can you
put in a small quantity of oil (once) conforming to the VW 506 00, VW 506 01,
VW 505 00, VW 505 01 or ACEA B3 / ACEA B4 specification. (up to 0.5l).

General notes on the technical data
278Vehicle identification data
The most important data are given on the type plate and the
vehicle data sticker.Vehicles for certain export countries do not have a type plate.
Type plate
The type plate is located on the left rib inside the engine compartment.
Vehicle identification number
The vehicle identification number (chass is number) can be read from outside
the vehicle through a viewer in the windscreen. This is located on the left-
hand side of the vehicle in the lower area of the windscreen. It is also located
on the right hand side of the engine compartment. Vehicle data
The data sticker is placed on the inside of the spare wheel recess in the
luggage compartment.
The following information is provided on the vehicle data sticker:

Data on fuel consumptionFuel consumption
The consumption and emission details shown on the vehi cle data sticker differ from one vehicle to another.The fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions of the vehicle can be found on the
vehicle data sticker.
The fuel consumption and emissions figures given are based on the vehicle
weight category, which is determine d according to the engine/gearbox
combination and the equipment fitted. The consumption and emission figures are calculated in accordance with the
EC test requirements 1999/100/EC. The
se test requirements specify a real-
istic test method based on normal everyday driving.
The following test conditions are applied:
Note
•
Actual consumption may vary from quoted test values, depending on
personal driving style, road and traffic conditions, the weather and the
vehicle condition. Urban cycle
The urban cycle starts with an engine cold start. City driving is then simulated.
Extra urban cycle In the extra urban cycle simulation the vehicle frequently accelerates and brakes in all gears, as in normal everyday driving.
The
road speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h.
Total consumption The average total consumption is calculated with a weightin
g of around 37% for the urban cycle and 63% for the extra urban
cycle.
CO2 emissions The exhaust gases are collected during both driving cycles to calculate carbon dioxide emissions. The gas composition is then
analysed to evaluate the CO
2 content and other emissions.
