Service fluids -> Washer fluid for Your Volkswagen Tayron SUV First Generation (2018-2025)

Basic information  
The washer fluid reservoir is located in the bonnet space.  
In the bonnet space: washer fluid reservoir cap (illustration).  
The washer fluid reservoir is identified by the symbol on the cap → Fig. 1.  
1. The washer fluid level should be checked regularly and refilled as necessary.  
Preparations  
1. Prepare the vehicle for working in the bonnet space .  
2. Open the bonnet.  
Checking and refilling  
1. Check whether there is enough washer fluid in the reservoir.  
2. Use only clear water with a suitable alcohol-based windscreen washer fluid for refilling. Observe the mixture instructions on the  
packaging of the windscreen washer fluid , →  
.
3. At low outside temperatures, add a special anti-freeze agent so that the fluid cannot freeze. Observe the mixture instructions on  
the packaging of the anti-freeze agent.  
There is a strainer in the filler throat of the washer fluid reservoir. The strainer keeps large dirt particles away from the washer jets  
when refilling →  
.
The filling quantity of the washer fluid reservoir is approx. 3.0 l to 6.0 l (approx. 3.1 to 6.3 qt) depending on the model and equipment.  
Do not use distilled water to refill the washer fluid reservoir. This is a prerequisite for enabling monitoring of the washer fluid  
level.  
WARNING  
Unsuitable additives in the washer fluid can leave an oily film on the vehicle windows. This can reduce visibility and increase the risk  
of accidents and can cause serious or fatal injuries.  
Never mix coolant additive or other unsuitable additives into the washer fluid.  
NOTICE  
Use of an acidic cleaning agent can lead to damage and to failure of the washer jets.  
Never fill an acidic cleaning agent, e.g. a vinegar-based cleaner, into the washer fluid reservoir.  
NOTICE  
Mixing different windscreen washer fluids can lead to flocculation of ingredients in the fluid and cause clogging of the washer jets.  
Use only suitable alcohol-based windscreen washer fluids.  
Never mix different windscreen washer fluids with each other.  
NOTICE  
When refilling windscreen washer fluid, dirt particles can enter the washer fluid reservoir if the strainer is damaged or not present.  
The washer jets could become clogged.  
Remove the strainer only for cleaning.  
Replace the strainer if it is damaged or missing.  
Engine oils are matched to the requirements of the engines, exhaust purification systems and fuel quality. Due to the way in which a  
combustion engine works, engine oil always comes into contact with combustion residues and fuel, which has an effect on the ageing  
process of the oil. The correct engine oil is important for the function and service life of the engine. The engine has been filled with a  
special multigrade high-lubricity oil at the factory that can normally be used as an all-season oil.  
The vehicle can consume engine oil. Engine oil consumption can vary and can change during the service life of the vehicle. Depending  
on driving style and operating conditions, engine oil consumption can be up to 1 l (1 qt) per 2,000 km (approx. 1,200 miles). In new  
vehicles, it is likely to be higher for the first 5,000 km (approx. 3,100 miles). The engine oil level must therefore be checked at regular  
intervals, e.g. before long journeys.  
WARNING  
Engine oil becomes extremely hot when the engine is running. If engine oil is handled without due care, this can cause serious burns  
to the body. This can result in serious or fatal injuries.  
Always allow the engine to cool down before performing any work with engine oil.  
WARNING  
Engine oil is toxic. Contact with engine oil, and especially ingestion of engine oil, can cause serious or fatal injuries.  
Seek medical attention immediately after swallowing engine oil.  
Seek medical attention if you have health problems after working with engine oil.  
Always keep engine oil out of the reach of children and only in the original sealed container. This also applies to used oil until it is  
disposed of.  
Never store engine oil in empty food containers, bottles or any other non-original containers as people finding these containers  
may then drink the engine oil.  
To avoid damaging the skin, avoid regular contact with engine oil.  
Protect skin, face and especially eyes while working with engine oil.  
Do not eat, drink or smoke when working with engine oil.  
Wash your skin with soap and water after working with engine oil.  
Leaking or spilt engine oil can pollute the environment.  
Collect any service fluids that escape or are spilled and dispose of them in a proper and environmentally responsible  
manner.
