Time Set hours and minutes for the instrument cluster
clock, the Radio & Navigation System clock, and the
analog clock. The digital clocks can be set to show
the time in 12 or 24 hour format, and can also be set
to daylight savings time.
Snow tires Set up a visual and acoustic speed warning. Use the
feature only when winter tires are installed that have
a speed rating less than top vehicle speed.
Compass Calibrate the compass on vehicles without a factory-
installed navigation system. To calibrate, follow the
instructions in the instrument cluster display
Units Set the units in which temperature, fuel consumption,
and distances should be displayed (for example,
whether to show distance driven in miles or kilome-
ters).

d For gasoline engines: Is unleaded fuel with the right octane rating
readily available?
d Are engine oil (⇒ Engine oil) and other operating fluids that meet
Volkswagen quality and performance requirements available where
you will be driving? For more information, please see
⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance.
d Does the factory-installed navigation system work in the countries
where you will be driving, and is navigation data available?
d Are special or heavy-duty tires necessary for the kind of driving
expected?

A tire inflation pressure label is on the driver door jamb ⇒ Tires and
wheels.
Fuel grade sticker
An information sticker listing the correct fuel grade for your vehicle ⇒ 
Refueling.
Engine data

Secure luggage in the luggage compartment using suitable straps
and the tie downs ⇒ Tie-downs. Also see ⇒  Luggage compartment.
Adjust the headlight range, if necessary ⇒  Lights.
Check the pressure in all 4 tires when the tires are still cold. Never
reduce air pressure in warm tires to match cold tire inflation pressure.
Heed the information on the tire pressure label ⇒  Tires and wheels.
Pay especially close attention to your vehicle's Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System when driving with a heavy load ⇒ Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS).
NOTICE
Wires in the rear windows such as for heating or for an antenna
can be damaged by objects that rub against them.
Please review the information on loading a trailer⇒ Trailer towing
and a roof rack ⇒  Roof rack.

Combined towing weight
Combined towing weight is the weight of the loaded towing vehicle
plus the weight of the loaded trailer.
This vehicle has not been designed to tow a Class II trailer and must
never be retrofitted to tow a Class II trailer. Always make sure that
your vehicle has been designed to tow the trailer you want to use and
that it is legal to tow the trailer where you will be driving.
Loading the trailer
The weight distribution in the vehicle and trailer must be balanced.
Use the maximum permissible tongue weight and make sure that the
load in the trailer is evenly distributed and that it is not front-heavy or
tail-heavy:
Distribute the load in the trailer so that heavy objects are directly
above the axle or as close as possible to the axle.
Secure loads properly on the trailer.
Tire pressure
Always follow the trailer manufacturer's tire pressure recommenda-
tions for the trailer tires.
When towing, inflate the towing vehicle's tires to the maximum per-
missible pressure listed on the tire pressure label ⇒ Tire inflation
pressure.
WARNING
Exceeding the gross weight ratings for axle, tongue, vehicle,
trailer or combined weight can cause accidents and serious
personal injury.
Never exceed the specified values.
Never let the actual weights at the front and rear axles exceed
the Gross Axle Weight Rating. Never let the combined front and
rear weights exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

Tires and wheels

WARNING
New tires or tires that are old, worn or damaged cannot provide
maximum control and braking performance.
Improper care and handling of tires and wheels can reduce
driving safety and cause accidents and severe injuries.
Install only radial tires of the same make, the same dimen-
sions (tread circumference), and similar tread profile on all
4 wheels.
New tires tend to be slippery and must be broken in. Always
drive with special care for the first 350 miles (560 km) to help
reduce the risk of losing control, a collision, and serious per-
sonal injuries.
Check tire inflation pressure regularly when the tires are cold
and always maintain the prescribed tire pressure. Low tire
pressure can cause tires to get too hot, resulting in tread sepa-
ration, sudden loss of pressure, and blowouts. Tires with ex-
cessively low pressure flex (bend) more, which can cause the
tire to overheat and fail suddenly without warning.
Check tires regularly for wear and damage.
Never drive with worn or damaged tires (for example, tires
with punctures, cuts, cracks, blisters, or bumps). Driving with
worn or damaged tires can lead to loss of vehicle control, sud-
den tire failure including blowouts and sudden deflation, crash-
es, and serious personal injuries.
Have worn or damaged tires replaced immediately.
Never exceed the maximum speed rating or the maximum
load rating of the tires on your vehicle.
The effectiveness of the driver assistance systems and the
braking support systems depends on the tire traction.
If you notice unusual vibration or if the vehicle pulls to one
side when driving, always stop as soon as it is safe to do so
and check the wheels and tires for damage.
To reduce the risk of losing control, crashes, and serious
personal injuries, never loosen the bolts on wheels with bolted
rim rings.

Never mount used tires on your vehicle if you are not sure of
their past use. Old, used tires and wheels may have damage
that cannot be seen that can lead to sudden tire failure and loss
of vehicle control.
Tires age even if they are not being used and can fail sudden-
ly, especially at high speeds, causing loss of vehicle control,
accidents, and severe personal injuries. Tires that are more
than 6 years old can be used only in an emergency and even
then only with special care and at low speed.
For technical reasons it is usually not possible to use wheel rims
from other vehicles. Even wheel rims from the same model may not fit
properly. Check with an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility if necessary.
