WARNING
Always adjust seat, safety belts, and head restraints properly
before driving and make sure that all passengers are properly
restrained.
Push the passenger seat as far back as possible. Always be
sure that there are at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the front
passenger's breastbone and the instrument panel.
Always adjust the driver's seat and the steering wheel so that
there are at least 10 inches (25 cm) between your breastbone
and the steering wheel.
Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the ped-
als all the way to the floor while keeping your knee(s) slightly
bent. The distance to the instrument panel in the knee area
must be at least 4 inches (10 cm).
If these requirements cannot be met for physical reasons,
contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility to see whether adaptive equipment
is available.
Always hold the steering wheel on the outside of the steering
wheel rim with your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi-
tions to help reduce the risk of personal injury if the driver's
airbag inflates.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or
with your hands at other places inside the steering wheel rim or
on the steering wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the
wrong way can cause serious injuries to the hands, arms, and
head if the driver's airbag inflates.
Pointing the steering wheel toward your face decreases the
ability of the driver's airbag to help protect you in a collision.
Never drive with backrests reclined or tilted back farther than
necessary to drive comfortably. The farther back the backrests
are tilted, the greater the risk of injury caused by incorrect posi-
tioning of the safety belts and improper seating position.
Never drive with the front seat passenger backrest tilted for-
ward. If the front airbag deploys, the front backrest can be
forced backward and injure passengers on the rear seat.
Sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel and the
instrument panel.

Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with your
hands at other places inside the steering wheel rim or on the steering
wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way can cause seri-
ous injuries to the hands, arms, and head if the driver's airbag in-
flates.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering wheel cover points at
your chest and not at your face. Pointing the steering wheel toward
your face decreases the ability of the driver's airbag to help protect
you in a collision.
Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the pedals all
the way to the floor while keeping your knee(s) slightly bent.
Adjust the seat height so that the top point of the steering wheel
can be reached.
Always keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in control of
the vehicle at all times.
Passenger - front seat adjustment:
Push the passenger seat as far back as possible in order to ensure
optimum protection if the airbag is deployed.

WARNING
Improper use of the steering column adjustment feature can
result in serious personal injury and even death.
Always pull the lever (1) firmly upward after adjusting the
steering column so that the steering wheel does not change
position suddenly while the vehicle is moving.
Never adjust the steering column while the vehicle is moving.
If you find that you need to adjust the steering wheel while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle in a safe place and make the proper ad-
justment.
Never adjust the steering wheel so that it points toward your
face. Always make sure that the steering wheel points toward
your chest. Otherwise, the airbag system cannot protect you
properly in the event of a crash.
Always hold the steering wheel on the outside of the steering
wheel rim with your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi-
tions to help reduce the risk of serious personal injury if the
driver's airbag inflates.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or
with your hands anywhere inside the steering wheel or on the
steering wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way
increases the risk of severe injury to the arms, hands, and head
if the driver airbag deploys.
Center armrest

Fig. 53 Front center armrest.

Put the wheel you took off the vehicle into the spare wheel well so
that the center hole of the rim is aligned with the threaded pin.
Turn the handwheel clockwise until the wheel is securely in place.
If necessary, return the vehicle tool kit to its location in the luggage
compartment.
Unhook the floor covering and fold it back down onto the floor of
the luggage compartment.
Close the luggage compartment lid.
If the spare wheel is different from the road wheels
If the spare is different from the road wheels, a compact spare wheel,
for example, or if the road wheels are winter tires, the spare wheel
must be used only in the event of a flat tire, only for a brief time, and
only when driving with extra caution ⇒ .
Replace it with a tire matching the others on your vehicle as soon as
possible.
Please heed the following:
Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h)!
Avoid full-throttle acceleration, hard braking, and fast cornering!
Do not use snow chains on the compact spare wheel ⇒Snow
chains.
After installing the spare wheel or compact spare wheel, check the
tire pressure as soon as possible ⇒ Tire inflation pressure.
Check the tire inflation pressure of the spare or compact spare when-
ever you check the tire pressure of the road wheels, at least once a
month. Inflate a spare wheel to the cold tire pressure specified for
the vehicle's road wheels on the tire pressure label; inflate a compact
spare wheel to the cold tire pressure specified for the compact spare
on the tire pressure label or on a separate label for the compact
spare, if there is one.

Opening the fuel filler cap
Pull the release switch  in the driver door upwards ⇒ fig. 161.
The fuel filler flap is on the right rear side of the vehicle.
Open the fuel filler flap.
Unscrew the fuel cap counterclockwise and remove. Use the slot or
the upper edge of the fuel filler flap to hold the cap while refueling
⇒ fig. 162.
Refueling
The correct fuel grade for your vehicle ⇒  Fuel is listed on a sticker on
the inside of the fuel filler flap ⇒ fig. 162 (arrow).
The fuel tank is full when the automatic filler nozzle pump switches
off the first time ⇒ .
Do not try to add fuel after the pump stops! Topping off the tank in
this way may fill the expansion space that the tank needs and cause
fuel to overflow, for example, if it gets warmer outside.
Closing the fuel filler cap
Screw the fuel cap clockwise onto the fuel filler neck until you hear
it click into place.
Close the fuel filler flap until you hear it latch shut. The fuel filler
flap must be flush with the vehicle body.
WARNING
Spilled fuel can cause fires, explosions, burns, and other se-
vere injuries.
Always stop refueling once the pump nozzle switches off so
that the tank does not overflow.
NOTICE
Remove fuel spills from all vehicle surfaces immediately to help
prevent damage to the paint, tires, and wheel housings.
Fuel spills may pollute the environment.

The engine coolant system is under pressure when the en-
gine is hot. Never unscrew the coolant expansion tank cap
when the engine is hot. Hot coolant can spray out and cause
severe burns and other serious injuries.
– Turn the cap slowly and very carefully in a counterclock-
wise direction while applying light downward pressure on the
top of the cap.
– Always protect your face, hands, and arms from hot escap-
ing coolant or steam by covering the cap with a large, thick
rag.
Never spill fluids on the engine or exhaust system when re-
filling. Spilling fluids onto hot parts of the engine or exhaust
system can cause a fire.
WARNING
High voltage systems in the engine compartment can cause
electrical shocks or even electrocution, severe burns, other se-
rious injuries, and even death!
Never short-circuit the electrical system. Be especially care-
ful when using jumper cables. The vehicle's battery could ex-
plode!
To reduce the risk of electrical shock and personal injury
while the engine is running or being started:
– Never touch ignition cables. Never touch other compo-
nents of the high voltage electronic ignition system.
– Never touch the wiring of the HID – High Intensity Dis-
charge (Xenon) headlights.
Read and heed the important information and warnings on
cleaning the engine compartment ⇒  Cleaning the engine com-
partment.

WARNING
Hot steam and hot engine coolant can cause serious burns.
Never open the hood if you see steam or coolant escaping
from the engine compartment. Always wait until you no longer
see or hear steam or coolant escaping from the engine.
Always let the engine cool down completely before carefully
opening the hood. Hot components will burn skin on contact.
When the engine has cooled down and you are ready to open
the hood:
– Apply the electronic parking brake and shift the transmis-
sion into Park (P) (automatic) or Neutral (manual only).
– Take the vehicle key out of the ignition.
– On vehicles with Keyless Access, make sure that the re-
mote control vehicle key is out of range of the vehicle and
that the vehicle cannot be started by depressing the starter
button
– Always keep children and others away from the engine
compartment and never leave them unsupervised.
The engine coolant system is under pressure when the en-
gine is hot. Never unscrew the coolant expansion tank cap
when the engine is hot. Hot coolant can spray out and cause
severe burns and other serious injuries.
– Turn the cap slowly and very carefully in a counterclock-
wise direction while applying light downward pressure on the
top of the cap.
– Always protect your face, hands, and arms from hot escap-
ing coolant or steam by covering the cap with a large, thick
rag.
Never spill fluids on the engine or exhaust system when re-
filling. Spilling fluids onto hot parts of the engine or exhaust
system can cause a fire. Under some conditions, the ethylene
glycol in engine coolant can catch fire.
NOTICE
Use distilled water only when adding coolant! All other types
of water contain chemical compounds that can cause extensive
corrosion damage to the engine. This can even lead to engine
