Service fluids and consumables
All service fluids and consumables, e.g. tyres, coolant and batteries, are being constantly developed.
For this reason, service fluids and consumables should be replaced at a qualified workshop.
Volkswagen dealerships are kept up to date on all 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 intake 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 in an environmentally responsible way.
