WARNING
Improper refueling or handling of fuel can cause fire, explosion,
and severe burns.
Fuel is highly explosive and flammable and can cause severe
burns and other injuries.
Heed applicable safety warnings and obey local fuel handling
regulations.
Always make sure the fuel cap is screwed on all the way. This
keeps fuel from spilling out and from evaporating.
Failure to shut the engine off while refueling and/or to insert
the pump nozzle fully into the vehicle's filler neck could cause
fuel overflow and fuel spray. Fuel spray and overflowing fuel
are dangerous because they can cause fire or serious injury.
For safety reasons, the engine must be turned off when refu-
eling.
Never get back into your vehicle while refueling. If in excep-
tional circumstances you must get back in your vehicle while
refueling, make certain that you close the door and touch metal
to discharge static electricity before touching the filler nozzle
again. Static electricity can cause sparks that can ignite fuel
vapors released during refueling.

Octane rating
Octane rating indicates a gasoline's ability to resist engine-damaging
“knock” caused by pre-ignition. Using the correct grade of gasoline is
very important to help prevent engine damage and loss of engine
performance.
The recommended gasoline octane rating for your engine is listed on
a label inside of the fuel filler flap. This rating may be specified ac-
cording to AKI (CLC) or RON (ROZ) standards.
If unleaded Premium grade gasoline is specified for your vehicle, then
Volkswagen recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 91 AKI (95 RON). For more information on
