Mirrors
o:n Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror .............. . 122
Exterior mirrors ............ . . .... 123
For safety reasons it is important that the driver po-sitions the exterior and interior mirrors correctly be-fore starting a journey '* &.
You can use the exterior mirrors and the interior mirror to observe traffic behind you and adjust driv-ing style accordingly. Looking in the exterior mir-rors and the interior mirror does not allow the driver to see the entre side and rear area of the vehicle. The area that cannot be seen is known as the blind spot. There may be objects and other road users in the blind spot.
Additional information and warnings:
• Exterior views '* page 5
• Changing gear '*page 260
• Braking, stopping and parking '*page 269
A WARNING (Continued)
• Use clean, clear water (not distilled water) with a washer fluid recommended by Volks-wagen Commercial Vehicles.
• A suitable anti-freeze agent should be added to the windscreen washer fluid If nec-essary.
CD
• Never mix other cleaning agents with the cleaning agents recommended by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. This can cause the ingre-dients to separate and block the windscreen washer jets.
• When refilling or changing service fluids, please ensure that the correct fluids are added through the correct openings. Incorrect service fluids can cause serious functional problems and engine damage. A WARNING
Adjusting the exterior and interior mirrors while driving may cause the driver to become distracted. This can lead to accidents and se-rious Injuries.
• Exterior and interior mirrors should only be adjusted when the vehicle is stationary.
• When parking, changing lane, or perform-ing an overtaking or turning manoeuvre, al-ways pay careful attention to the area around the vehicle as objects and other road users may be located In the blind spot.
• Always ensure that the mirrors are posi-tioned correctly and that the rear view Is not restricted by ice, snow, condensation or any other objects.
A WARNING
Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors contain an electrolyte fluid which could leak If the mirror is broken.
• The leaking electrolyte fluid can cause lrri-tation to the skin, eyes and respiratory or-gans, especially In people who suffer from

Different engines require different fuels. The facto-ry-fitted sticker on the inside of the tank flap indi-cates the fuel type that is required for your particu-lar vehicle.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends us-ing fuels with a low sulphur content or which are sulphur-free in order to reduce fuel consumption and prevent damage to the engine.
If the engine is not running smoothly or begins to judder, this can indicate poor or inadequate fuel quality, e.g. water in the fuel. If these symptoms appear, reduce the vehicle speed immediately and drive to the nearest qualified workshop at medium engine speeds, avoiding high engine loading. If these symptoms occur immediately after the vehi-

Vehicle identification data . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 451
Dimensions ........................... . 452
Unless otherwise specified, the technical data of the basic model apply. The values quoted here may differ if additional equipment is fitted, for differ-ent models, for special vehicles or if country-specif-ic equipment is fitted. All data in the official vehicle documents take precedence over these data.
Engine
The vehicle data sticker and the official vehicle documents show which engine is installed in your vehicle.
Weight
The values for the kerb weight in the following ta-bles apply for the road-ready vehicle with driver (75 kg), service fluids including fuel tank carrying 90% of its capacity and, if applicable, toolkit and spare tyre =>&.Additional equipment and retrofit-ted accessories increase the stated kerb weight and reduce the maximum permitted load accord-ingly.
The load comprises the weights of the following:
• Passengers
• Allluggage
• Roof load including the mounts or roof bars and the load carrier system
• Drawbar load when towing a trailer
Performance figures
The performance figures were measured without equipment which may influence performance, such as a roof carrier or mud flaps.
Gross combination weight rating
The gross combination weight ratings listed are on-ly applicable for altitudes up to 1 ,000 m above sea level. The maximum weight of the car and trailer must be reduced by approximately 10% for every further 1 ,000 m in altitude.

,A WARNING
Exceeding the maximum permissible weights, payload, dimensions, vehicle speed and axle weight rating could cause damage to the vehicle, accidents and serious Injuries.
• Do not exceed the permitted weights, loads, dimensions and maximum speeds.
• The actual axle loads must never exceed the maximum permissible axle loads.
• The payload and the distribution of the load In the vehicle have an effect on the driv-ing response and braking distance of the ve-hicle. Adjust your speed accordingly.
,A WARNING
Accidents and severe injuries can occur if the maximum permitted gross combination weight Is exceeded.
• Never exceed the specified gross combi-nation weight rating.
The payload should be distributed as evenly as possible in the vehicle. When transporting heavy objects in the luggage compartment, they should be placed either in front of or over the rear axle in order to minimise the effect on the vehicle's handling.
