Displays for the Climatronic information 
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, infor-mation on the Climatronic is displayed briefly on the screen of the factory-fitted radio or navigation system. 
The dust and pollen filter 
The dust and pollen filter with activated charcoal reduces the level of impurities in the outside air en-tering the vehicle. 
The dust and pollen filler must be changed regular-ly to avoid impairing the performance of the air conditioning system. 
The dust and pollen filter must be changed more frequently than stated in the service schedule if the efficiency of the filter declines prematurely due to the vehicle being used in areas with high levels of air pollution.

A WARNING 
Poor visibility through all windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which can cause serious injuries. 
• Always ensure that all windows are free of ice, snow and mist to ensure good visibility. 
3221 While driving 
A WARNING (Continued) 
• Maximum heat output, which Is needed to defrost the windows as quickly as possible, is only available when the engine has reached Its operating temperature. Do not start your journey until you have good visibil-Ity. 
• Always ensure that the heating and fresh air system or the air conditioning system and the rear window heating are used correctly so that you have good visibility. 
• Never use the air reclrculatlon mode for an extended period. If the cooling system Is switched off, the windows can mist up very quickly In air reclrculatlon mode and reduce visibility considerably. 
• Always switch off the air reclrculatlon mode when it Is not required. 
A WARNING 
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which In turn can cause collisions, accidents and serious Inju-ries. 
• Never switch off the blowers or switch on the air recirculatlon mode for an extended pe· riod as this prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle interior. 
• Repairs to the air conditioning system re-quire specialist knowledge and special tools. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends using a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles deal-ership for this purpose. 

Air recirculation mode

General notes 
There are different types of air recirculation mode: 
Manual air recirculation mode (Heating and fresh air system). 
Manual air recirculation mode (air condi-tioning system). 
Left indicator lamp lit up in the button: manual air recirculation mode (Ciima-
------------Right indicator lamp lit up in the button: automatic air recircutation mode (Ciima-tronic). 
The air recirculation mode prevents outside air from entering the vehicle. 
if the outside temperature is very low or very high, the manual air recirculation mode should be selec-ted for a short time in order to heat or cool the ve-hicle interior more quickly. 
For safety reasons, the air recirculation mode will switch off if the@ button is pressed, or if the air distribution regulator is switched to lliil => .1:!,.

concentration of noxious substances in the outside air. The air recirculation mode will switch off as soon as this level has returned to normal. 
The system cannot detect unpleasant odours. 
The air recirculation mode will not be switched on automatically in certain circumstances such as when the ambient temperature is low or the air conditioning system has been switched on. 
Switching the automatic air recirculation mode on and off 
Switching on: press button repeatedly until the right indicator lamp in the button lights up. 
Switching off: press button repeatedly until the indicator lamp in the button is no longer lit up. 
A WARNING 
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which In turn can cause collisions, accidents and serious inju-ries. 
• Never use the air reclrculation mode for an extended period as no fresh air will enter the vehicle Interior. 
• If the cooling system is switched off, the windows can mist up very quickly In air recir-culatlon mode and reduce visibility consider-ably. 
• Always switch off the air reclrculation mode when it is not required. 
CD 
In vehicles with an air conditioning system, do not smoke when the air reclrculatlon mode Is switched on. The smoke drawn Into the cooling system can leave a residue on the evaporator and the dust and pollen filter with active carbon insert, producing a lasting unpleasant odour. 
m Cllmatronic: when reversing the vehicle, or l!J when the wash and wipe system is being used, the air recirculation mode will switch on tem-porarily to prevent exhaust emissions from entering the vehicle interior.

• Fuels that are identified at the fuel pump as containing metallic additives may not be used. LRP fuel (lead replacement petrol) also con-tains high concentrations of metallic additives. Risk of engine damage I 
Diesel 
r'""'('n First read and observe the Introductory L-J,:.U Information and safety warnings & on page 343. 
Diesel 
Diesel fuel must comply with the European stand-ard EN 590 (in Germany DIN EN 590). 
The service intervals are shorter if you use diesel with a high sulphur content =>Booklet Service schedule =>CD. A Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership will be able to tell you which countries have diesel with a high sulphur content. 
Where diesel fuel complying with the EN 590 standard is not available, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealerships and filling stations will have information on which fuels do comply with the EN 590 standard. 
Do not mix fuel additives (thinners. or similar addi-tives) with diesel. 
Winter diesel 
When using summer-grade diesel. difficulties may be experienced at temperatures below o•c (+32.F) 
because the fuel thickens due to paraffin separa-tion. For this reason winter-grade diesel which can be used at temperatures below -2o•c (·4°F) is available in countries such as Germany during the cold months. 
In countries with different climatic conditions the diesel sold generally has different temperature characteristics. Check with a Volkswagen Com-mercial Vehicles dealer or filling stations in the country concerned regarding the type  of diesel fuels available. 
it is not unusual for a cold diesel engine to be loud-er in cold temperatures that in warm weather. In addition, exhaust emissions may be tinged with blue while the engine starts and reaches operating temperature. The amount of exhaust fumes de-pends on the outside temperature. 
CD 
• Just one tankful of leaded fuel, or fuel con-taining other metallic additives, can seriously Impair the efficiency of the catalytic converter and can also cause considerable damage to the catalytic converter and engine. 
Diesel vehicles are equipped with a filter pre-heat-er system. This ensures that the fuel system re-mains operational even down to approximately -24•c (-11.F) provided that winter-grade diesel which is safe down to -15•c (+5.F) is used. 
However, if the fuel has thickened to such an ex-tent that the engine will not start at temperatures below -24•c (-11.F) simply place the vehicle in a warm garage or workshop for a while. 
Supplementary heater 
Vehicles fitted with a diesel engine may also be equipped with a fuel-driven supplementary heater. This heater is powered with fuel from the vehicle tank. In this case, odour and water vapour may es-cape from the vehicle, and there may be a greater quantity of smoke. This is quite normal when the system is in use, and does not indicate damage or a fault in the system. 
The supplementary heater will be switched off au-tomatically if the level in the fuel tank is low (re-serve level). 
A WARNING 
Never use a start booster. Start boosters may explode or cause the engine to suddenly run at high revs, which can cause serious Injuries and engine damage. 
CD 
• Before filling up with diesel, check whether the fuel corresponds to the vehicle's require-ments according to the fuel standard Informa-tion at the pump. 
• Only use fuel that complies with the EN 590 standard and has the correct cetane number. Otherwise, the engine and the fuel system can suffer considerable damage. The engine can al-so lose power or fall. ..,. 
At the filling station 1345  

CD 
• Your vehicle is not suitable for use with bio-diesel and must not be filled up or driven with biodiesel. Failure to observe this point can re-sult in damage to the fuel system and engine. 
• Some diesel manufacturers blend biodiesel with diesel fuel in compliance with European Standard 590 or an equivalent standard (in Ger-many). Use of this diesel is allowed and will not damage the engine or fuel system. 
• The diesel engine has been developed for use with diesel only. For this reason, petrol, heating oil or other unsuitable fuels may not be used. These fuels can cause serious damage to the fuel system and engine. 
CD 
• The service life of the diesel particulate filter can be reduced considerably if diesels with a high sulphur content are used. A Voikswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership will be able to tell you which countries have diesel with a high sulphur content.

Warning and indicator lamps Refilling Ad Blue® ... 347 
348 
SCR catalysts can be used to reduce emissions from diesel engines (SCR = Selective Catalytic Re-duction). The SCR catalyst uses Ad Blue® urea sol-ution to convert nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and water. 
If the vehicle is equipped with this kind of emission control system for diesel vehicles, the filler neck for the Ad Blue® tank is located below the filler cap for the fuel tank. 
The Ad Blue® level should be checked within the scope of the service work Service schedule. 
Information on AdBiue® 
The Ad Blue® consumption figures depend on the individual driving style, the system's operating tem-perature and the ambient temperature that the ve-hicle is operated in. 
The vehicle is fitted with a separate tank for Ad Bl-ue®. The Ad Blue® tank holds approximately 13 li-tres. For technical reasons, the capacity may be slightly larger when refilling using refill bottles. 
The Ad Blue® tank must never run empty. As of a remaining distance of approximately 2,400 km. the instrument cluster display will indicate that the 
346 While drivmg 
Ad Blue® must be refilled 348. If the re-maining range is 0 km, the engine cannot be star-ted anymore 347. 
The Ad Blue® trademark is held by the German As-sociation of the Automobile Industry (VDA) in the USA, Germany, the European Union and other countries. 
Additional information and warnings: 
• Fuel 343 
• Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts 394 
A WARNING 
If the AdBiue® level is too low, the vehicle cannot be restarted after the Ignition has been switched off. Starting with jump leads is also not possible. 
• Refill AdBiue® at the latest when the re-maining distance reaches approximately 1,000 km. 
• Never allow the Ad Blue® tank to run emp-ty. 
A WARNING 
Ad Blue® is an Irritant and corrosive fluid that can damage the skin, eyes and breathing passages upon contact.

Recycling end-of-life vehicles 
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has already made provision for the time when you choose to have your vehicle recycled in an environmentally-friendly manner. The recycling system operating in many European countries will take back your vehi-cle at the end of its useful life. Once the vehicle has been recycled, a certificate of destruction will be issued to show that the vehicle has been dis-posed of correctly. 
End-of-life vehicles are recycled free of charge, provided that national legislation is complied with. 
Further information on the recycling of end-of-life vehicles can be found at a Volkswagen Commer-cial Vehicles dealership. 
Scrapping 
The relevant safety requirements must be ob-served when the vehicle or components of the air-bag and the belt tensioners are scrapped. Quali-fied workshops are familiar with these require-ments.
