The fuel information label specifies two fuel grades (e.g. RON95 / minimum RON92) If two fuel grades or octane numbers (RON) are listed on the label, you can choose either grade. The fuel grade listed as an alternative, RON 92 in the example above, can be used for refuelling on- ly if the preferred grade, RON 95 in the example, is not available. The highlighted octane number, RON 95 in the example, is the preferred fuel grade for which the vehicle has been designed and optimised. the specified standard and identification. Fail- ing to do so may cause damage to the engine, fuel system, or emission purification system. Petrol Please refer to and on page 147.
For detailed information on fuel standards, refer to the fuel standards section → page 147. Using fuel with a lower grade or RON Never use fuel with a lower grade or octane number (RON) than the minimum indicated on the fuel information label. Petrol grades Petrol is classified according to its octane rating, for example, 92, 95, or 98RON (RON = “Research Octane Number”). This may increase fuel consumption and reduce engine output. In extreme cases, this may cause engine damage. This vehicle is compatible with all fuel grades lis- ted on the fuel information label.
However, for optimal engine power and fuel efficiency, it is recommended to use the highest fuel grade lis- ted on the label during full load conditions, for example high-speed driving. Any vehicle malfunctions or damages caused by using fuel with a lower grade or octane number (RON) than the minimum indicated on the fuel information label are not covered by the warran- ty. To ensure proper operation of the emission puri- fication system, only low-sulphur or sulphur-free fuel should be used, and the use of fuel additives containing metals, such as octane boosters, is prohibited. The vehicle may also be filled with petrol that has a higher RON than the engine requires.
How- ever, this does not provide any advantage in terms of fuel consumption or engine output. Never use petrol with a lower grade than the minimum indicated on the fuel information label. Volkswagen is not responsible for any vehicle malfunctions or damage caused by this.
