Changing engine oil

WARNING
If you must change the engine oil yourself, be sure to take the
following precautions:
Always wear eye protection.
To reduce the risk of burns from hot engine oil, let the engine
cool down completely before beginning.
When removing the oil drain plug with your fingers, stay as
far away as possible. Always keep your forearm parallel to the
ground to help prevent hot oil from running down your arm.
Drain the oil into a container designed for this purpose, one
large enough to hold at least the total amount of oil in your en-
gine.
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never drain the oil into emp-
ty food or beverage containers that might mislead someone in-
to drinking from them.
Engine oil is poisonous and must be stored out of the reach
of children.
Continuous contact with used engine oil is harmful to your
skin. Always protect your skin by washing thoroughly with
soap and water.
Before changing the oil, first make sure you know where you can
properly dispose of the old oil.
Dispose of the old oil an environmentally-responsible manner.
Never dump the old oil on garden soil, in wooded areas, in the street,
into streams, rivers, or bodies of water, or down sewage drains.
Recycle used oil by taking it to a collection facility for used engine
oil in your area, or contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Volkswagen recommends that you always have your oil and oil
filter changed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility. They have the required expertise and
special tools and will dispose of the old oil properly.

Cleaning upholstery on non-heated seats, manual seats, or seats
without airbag components
Before using any cleaning agent, familiarize yourself with instruc-
tions and warnings on the packaging.
Vacuum upholstery, fabric trim, Alcantara® upholstery, and carpet-
ing regularly with a suitable brush attachment.
Do not use power washers, steam cleaners, or cooling spray.
A soft sponge or a commercially available lint-free microfiber cloth

cleaned with a commercially available dry-foam cleaner.
If the upholstery and fabric trim pieces are heavily soiled, see your
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility before you begin cleaning to learn about suitable cleaning
options. If necessary, have the cleaning done by a professional.
Treating stains
When treating stains, it may be necessary to clean the entire surface
and not just the stain itself. This is especially true if the entire surface
has become dirty from normal use. Otherwise, the area that is treated
may become lighter than the untreated area. If you have questions or
concerns, consult a professional cleaner.

dirt to penetrate deeper into the fabric and make it impossible to
remove.
Power washers and cooling sprays can damage the uphol-
stery.

Cleaning leatherette

Engine life is influenced by how you drive the vehicle for the first
1000 miles (1600 km). Even afterwards, driving at moderate engine
speeds, especially when the engine is cold, will tend to reduce engine
wear and help the engine to last longer and go farther. But do not
drive at an excessively low engine speed, either. Always downshift if
the engine is not running smoothly. For the first 600 miles
(1000 km):
Do not use full throttle.
Don't let the engine speed get above 2/3 the maximum speed.
Do not tow a trailer.
From 600 to 1000 miles (1000 to 1600 km): Speed may gradually
be increased to maximum permissible road and engine speed.
