Service fluids and consumables

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings

All service fluids and consumables, e.g. toothed belts, tyres, coolant, engine oil, spark plugs and vehicle batteries, are being constantly developed. For this reason, service fluids and consumables should be replaced at a qualified workshop. A Volkswagen dealer is always kept up to date on innovations.

Unsuitable service fluids and consumables and using fluids and consumables incorrectly could cause accidents, serious injuries, burns or poisoning.

• Service fluids must be kept in the closed original container.

• Never store service fluids in empty food containers, bottles or any other non-original containers as people finding these containers could drink them.

• Keep children away from all service fluids and consumables.

• Always read and follow the information and warnings on the service fluid packaging.

• When using products that give off harmful fumes, always work outdoors or in a well ventilated area.

• Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, nail varnish remover or other volatile fluids for vehicle care. They are poisonous and highly flammable. They could cause fires and explosions.

NOTICE

• Only suitable service fluids should be refilled. Never mix up service fluids when refilling. Failure to observe this point could result in serious malfunctions and engine damage!

• Optional equipment and other accessories in front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect of the coolant. The engine may overheat at high ambient temperatures and high engine loads!

Leaking service fluids can pollute the environment. Spilt operating fluids must be collected in suitable containers and disposed of properly and with respect for the environment.
