Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running, particularly if a gear or driving position
has been selected. The vehicle could move suddenly or something unexpected may happen that may
cause damage, fire and serious injuries.
Never use a start booster. Start boosters could explode and cause the engine to suddenly run at high
revs.

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. 99②  for driving or tow-starting, e.g. when the fuel tank is empty.
This could cause damage to the starter.
Fill up with fuel if necessary ⇒ Fuel types and refuelling  or jump start the vehicle ⇒ Jump starting .
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.

Fuel types and refuelling
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Fuel standards 
⇒ Petrol 
⇒ Diesel 
⇒ Refuelling 
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.

Information on warning and indicator lamps that light up can be found in the section
Troubleshooting ⇒ Troubleshooting .
Fuel standards
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Petrol
EN 228
DIN 51626-1
Diesel
EN 590
EN 590
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⇒Introduction 
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.

WARNING
Incorrect refuelling can lead to fire, serious injuries and vehicle damage.

At cold temperatures, louder noises may occur in the diesel engine and the exhaust gas may be
tinged blue.

WARNING
Overfilling the fuel tank may cause the fuel to splash out and overflow. This can cause fires,
explosions and serious injuries.

⇒ Checking the engine oil level and refilling the engine oil .
⇒ Jump starting the vehicle .
If you notice misfiring, loss of power or uneven running when driving, reduce speed immediately and
have the vehicle checked by a qualified workshop ⇒ Troubleshooting . Otherwise unburnt fuel can
enter the exhaust system and escape into the atmosphere. The catalytic converter can also be
damaged by overheating.

The emissions may have a sulphur-like smell even when the exhaust purification system is working
properly.
Particulate filter
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Function
⇒ Fuel standards .

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.
