Volkswagen Tiguan Owners Manual: Introduction to the subject
In this chapter you will find information on the following subjects:
⇒ Gasoline
⇒ Gasoline additives
The correct fuel grade for your engine is shown on a sticker
located on the inside of the fuel filler flap ⇒ Fig. 153 .
Bad or poor quality fuel reduces operating performance, efficiency and service
life of the engine. If you notice any symptoms like rough engine idle or performance
or “bucking”, immediately reduce the vehicle speed, accelerate slowly 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.
