Service fluids and equipment
All service fluids and consumables, e.g. tyres, coolant and vehicle batteries, are being constantly developed. The same
applies to toothed belts, engine oils and spark plugs for combustion engines. For this reason, service fluids and
consumables should be replaced at a qualified workshop. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealers are kept up to
date with regard to any changes.
WARNING
Unsuitable service fluids and consumables, and the incorrect use of these fluids and consumables, can cause
accidents, serious injuries, burns or poisoning.
● Service fluids must be kept in their original sealed 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 toxic
and highly flammable. They could cause fires and explosions.
NOTICE
● Only use suitable service fluids for refilling. Never use the wrong service fluid. Failure to observe this warning can
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 service fluids must be collected in suitable
containers and disposed of properly and with respect for the environment.
