¹ Do not add any additives to the fuel.

² On different models, the sticker may indicate a different octane number of gasoline. In case specified "98/95", it is recommended to use gasoline with an octane rating of AI98; when using AI95 gasoline, a slight decrease in power may be observed. If specified "min 95", it is recommended to use AI95 gasoline, and the use of AI98 gasoline can help increase power and reduce fuel consumption. In both marking options, AI91 gasoline can be used as an exception, but you should drive with a minimum load on the engine and at medium crankshaft speeds, otherwise the engine may be damaged, and gasoline with an octane rating less than AI91 is not allowed to be used even in extreme cases, because this will damage the engine. If the sticker says "95/91", it is recommended to use gasoline with an octane rating of AI95; when using gasoline AI91, a slight decrease in power may be observed, and the use of gasoline AI98 will not bring either an increase in power or a decrease in fuel consumption. The use of gasoline with an octane rating less than AI91 is allowed as an exception, but you should drive with a minimum load on the engine and at medium crankshaft speeds, otherwise the engine may be damaged.


³ Do not use additives (petrol etc.), that increase the fluidity of diesel fuel. Use of high sulfur diesel fuel (over 2000 ppm) leads to increased wear of the cylinders and reduces the cleanliness of the pistons. Therefore, when operating a car on such fuel, the engine oil and fuel filter should be changed every 7500 km (see chapter 3). Thanks to the heating of the fuel filter, diesel fuel used down to -15°C can be used down to -25°C. Use of biodiesel fuel (RME) and fuel for boilers is not allowed.

⁴ The specification is given according to the VAG standard. If the specified oil is not available, on models with a PR code "QG2" you can only top up ACEA A2 / AZ oil once (for petrol models), or ACEA VZ / V4 (for diesel models). On models serviced under the program "Long Life Service", it is necessary to use both for refueling and for topping up, only the specified oils. In exceptional cases, you can add no more than 0.5 l of VW 502 00 oil once (for petrol models) or VW 505 01 (for diesel models).

⁵ Antifreeze content (by volume) must be at least 40% and not more than 60%, otherwise either frost resistance or cooling efficiency will be significantly reduced.

⁶ Alternatively, G12+ antifreeze can be added (magenta, TL specification VW 774F).

⁷ On models with an additional heater, the coolant volume is approximately 1 liter more than indicated.
