WARNING 
Never leave the engine running if you leave the vehicle unattended, particularly if a gear or position 
has been selected. The vehicle could move suddenly or something unexpected may happen that may 
cause damage, fire or serious injuries. 
 
WARNING 
Start boosters could explode or cause the engine to suddenly run at high revs. 
Never use a start booster. 
 
NOTICE 
The starter and the engine can be damaged if you attempt to start the engine while the vehicle is in 
motion or if the engine is started again immediately after it has been switched off. 
When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and overloading the 
engine. 
Do not push start or tow start the vehicle. Unburnt fuel could damage the catalytic converter. 
 
NOTICE 
If the engine does not start, never use the starter with a gear selected and the vehicle key in the 
ignition lock in position Fig.

If the engine does not start, seek expert assistance. 
 
Do not warm up the engine by running it while the vehicle is stationary. Instead, pull off as soon as 
there is good visibility through the windows. This helps the engine reach operating temperature 
faster and reduces emissions.

 Introduction 
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects: 
Fuel standards

The tank flap is located at the rear right-hand side of the vehicle. 
Different engines require different fuels. There is a factory-fitted sticker in the tank flap that 
indicates the required fuel type for the vehicle.

Where fuel complying with the specified standard is not available, your Volkswagen dealership or a 
qualified workshop will have information on which available fuels are suitable for the vehicle. 
 
NOTICE 
Using fuel that does not comply with these standards may reduce performance and cause damage to 
the engine and fuel system. 
 
and engine failure. 
Petrol 
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Fill vehicles with a petrol engine only with unleaded petrol or petrol with a maximum ethanol 
content of 10 % (E10)  
Fuel grades differ according to the octane number. The vehicle may be filled with petrol that has a 
higher octane number than the engine requires. However, this does not provide any advantage in 
terms of fuel consumption or engine output. 
The fuel quality affects the running properties, performance and service life of the engine. Refuel 
with fuel that already contains suitable service additives  
Information on the fuel standards can be found in the chapter on fuel standards Fuel standards 
 
NOTICE 
Errors during refuelling or unsuitable fuel additives may cause damage to the vehicle.

Periodic regeneration 
The soot in the particulate filter is burnt off at high temperatures on a periodic basis. 
To assist the regeneration of the particulate filter, Volkswagen recommends that you avoid making 
only short journeys. 
Noises, slight smells and increased engine speeds may occur during regeneration. The radiator fan 
may run on while the vehicle is moving or when the engine has been switched off. 
 
During the periodic regeneration process, the yellow indicator lamp does not light up.
