Operating fluids and operating equipment
All operating fluids and operating equipment, such as engine coolant, and vehicle batteries, are continuously being developed. For internal combustion engines, also engine oils. Therefore, have fluids and operating equipment replaced by suitably qualified professionals. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
WARNING
Unsuitable operating fluids and operating equipment as well as the incorrect use of them can cause accidents, serious injuries, burns, and poisoning.
-
Only store fluids in their sealed original containers.
-
Never use empty food cans, bottles, or other containers to store fluids, because someone could drink the fluids by mistake.
-
Keep children away from all fluids and operating equipment.

Always read and heed the information and warnings on the packaging for the fluids.

When using products that emit harmful vapors, always work outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.

When filling or changing fluids, make sure the correct fluids are added to the correct reservoirs.
