and keep the engine speed in the middle of the rpm range. Avoid high rpm and rapid acceleration. If
these symptoms should appear right after refueling, switch off the engine. In both cases contact an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility to have the engine
checked.
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 refueling.
Never get back into your vehicle while refueling. If in exceptional 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 gasoline that does not meet minimum octane requirements can affect engine performance,
while the use of poor quality gasoline or gasoline with octane levels below 87 can also cause engine
damage. If Regular gasoline is recommended for your engine, you may be able to enhance engine
performance by using Premium gasoline.
The minimum required gasoline octane rating for your engine is listed on a label inside of the fuel filler
flap. This rating may be specified according to AKI (CLC) or RON (ROZ) standards. For this vehicle
the use of premium fuel with 91 AKI is recommended to achieve rated horsepower and torque.
