If diesel fuel should get on any rubber hose, it must be wiped off immediately. The same
applies if diesel fuel gets onto other parts of the vehicle, especially paint, tires, or a plastic
part. Wash the contaminated vehicle parts right away with soap and warm water to help
prevent leaks and serious damage.
NOTICE
ꢀ
Never force a fuel nozzle in the misfueling guard. If you have problems inserting a fuel
nozzle, first check to make sure you are using the correct diesel fuel. If you are, go to a pump
with the standard diesel nozzle. Forcing a fuel nozzle in the misfueling guard can damage it so
that it can no longer help prevent misfueling.
ꢀ
If you have problems inserting a diesel fuel nozzle, please check to make sure you are
using the right kind of diesel fuel.
If you must refuel with a non-standard diesel fuel nozzle, an adapter is available from
ꢀ
Volkswagen to allow refueling. Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance. Only use an adapter approved by Volkswagen for
your vehicle.
