petrol. The petrol must comply with the
standard EN 228 and be sulphur-free. Fuels
with a 10% ethanol ratio can be refuelled
(E10) 1)
. The types of petrol are differentiated
by using the octane numbers (RON) or via
the anti-knock index (AKI).

We recommend refuelling with super 95 oc-
tane petrol (91 AKI). If not available: normal 91
octane petrol (87 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
Super unleaded petrol, 95 octanes at
least
You should use super 95 octane petrol (91
AKI) at least.
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
use moderate engine speeds and a light
throttle. Refuel with super as soon as possi-
ble.
Unleaded super plus 98 octane petrol or
super 95 octane petrol at least
We recommend refuelling with super plus 98
octane petrol (93 AKI). If not available: super
95 octane petrol (91 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
use moderate engine speeds and a light
throttle. Refuel with super as soon as possi-
ble. CAUTION

Engine oil Gener al not
es The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil that can be used all year round.
Because the use of high-qualit
y oil is essen-
tial f
or the correct operation of the engine
and its long useful life, when topping up or
changing oil, use only those oils that comply
with VW standards.
We recommend that the oil change indicated
in the Maintenance Programme, be per-
formed by a technical service or specialised
workshop.
If the engine oil level is too low
You can get information about the correct en-
gine oil for your vehicle at your specialised
shop. If you have to change your engine oil,
use that oil.
If the recommended engine oil is not availa-
ble, in the event of an emergency you can
add oil once up to a maximum of 0.5 L of the
next oil until the next oil change:

For the sake of the environment
A flat battery is particularly harmful waste
for the envir onment. It must ther
efore be
disposed of according to current local law. Note
Replace a battery once it is older than 5
years. Warning lamp

It lights up
Alternator fault. The control lamp lights up when the ignition is
s
wit
ched on. It shoul

d go out when the engine
has started running.
If the control lamp  lights up while driving, the alternator is no longer charging the bat-
tery. You should immediately drive to the
nearest specialised workshop.
You should avoid using electrical equipment
that is not absolutely necessary because this
will drain the battery. CAUTION
Additionally, if the warning lamp  lights up while driving, the w arning l
