sure values stored in your vehicle's TPMS may have to be adjusted
(reprogrammed). This requires professional assistance. For more
information, contact your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility.
Installing replacement tires with steel cord body plies in the tire side-
wall may cause malfunction of the TPMS, and is not recommended
(cord material information in molded on the tire sidewall).
Always check the TPMS indicator light after replacing one or more
tires on your vehicle. If the indicator light is on, the TPMS is not work-
ing properly. Your replacement tire might be incompatible with the
system, or some component of the TPMS may be damaged.
For detailed information about TPMS, how it works and what you
need to know ⇒ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
WARNING
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
personal injuries.
WARNING
Tires must have the required clearance. Tires that do not have
enough clearance can rub against parts of the vehicle body,
suspension, and brake system, causing brake system failure,
tread delamination, and sudden blowouts.
Always make sure that new tires are not larger than the tires
approved for your vehicle and that the new tires do not rub
against parts of the vehicle.
NOTICE
When switching to different tires, make certain the valves and
sensors are not damaged.
Never drive without valve stem caps. The valves and sensors
could be damaged.
