all impaired quality of the connection.
Therefore we strongly recommend that you use your mobile tele-
phone in your vehicle only when it is properly attached to an appro-
priate cradle mounted on a base plate on the instrument panel.
Because of the large number and variety of mobile telephones on the
market and the frequency with which new models are introduced,
Volkswagen does not offer cradles for mobile telephones. Please
check with the manufacturer of the mobile telephone that you plan to
use.

WARNING
A mobile phone on the seat, instrument panel or in other places
can be thrown around the inside of the vehicle during a sudden
braking maneuver, a crash or other accident and injure vehicle
occupants.
Never place or attach accessories or other objects (such as
cup holders, telephone brackets, note pads, navigation sys-
tems, large, heavy or bulky objects) on the doors, on the wind-
shield, over or near the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, backrests or between these areas and
the occupant. Such objects could cause serious injury in a col-
lision, especially if an airbag inflates.

Changing a wheel

WARNING
Changing a wheel, especially on the side of the road, can be
dangerous. To help reduce the risk of serious personal injury:
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Move
the vehicle a safe distance off the road where it is safe to
change the wheel.
Always make sure that all passengers, especially children,
are in a safe place outside the vehicle and away from the vehi-
cle and traffic (such as behind a guard rail).
Turn on the emergency flashers and set up another warning
device about 25 yards (25 meters) behind the vehicle to warn
approaching traffic.
Change a wheel by yourself only if you are familiar with the
necessary steps. Otherwise, get expert assistance.
Always switch the engine off, set the electronic parking
brake, and shift the transmission into Park (P) (automatic
transmission) or any gear (manual only) to help prevent the ve-
hicle from moving suddenly and slipping off the jack.
Always make sure that the ground is level and firm. If neces-
sary, place the jack on a large and sturdy board or on a similar
ground support.
Always block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being
changed with chocks or other similar things.
If you are towing a trailer, always unhitch it from your vehicle
before starting to change the wheel. Always apply the trailer
brakes firmly and make sure the trailer cannot move uninten-
tionally.
Always use proper and undamaged tools when changing a
wheel.
Once a wheel is lifted off the ground, having the transmission
in Park (P) or in gear will not prevent sudden vehicle move-
ment.
Always use a jack that has been approved by the manufac-
turer for your vehicle. Never use other jacks, even if they have
been approved for use on other Volkswagen models.
To reduce the risk of losing control, crashes, and serious
personal injuries, never loosen the screws on rims with thread-
ed rim rings.

After changing a wheel, have the wheel bolt tightening torque
checked with an accurate torque wrench.
After changing a wheel or tire, reset the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System ⇒  Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Preparations for changing a wheel

WARNING
Disregarding the safety-related checklist may lead to accidents
and serious personal injuries.
Always review and follow the checklist. Follow accepted safe-
ty practices and use common sense.
Wheel bolts

length and bolt head shape must be used. The attachment of the
wheels and function of the brake system depend on this.
It may not be possible to use wheel bolts from different vehicles of the
same model.
Wheel bolt tightening torque
Correctly tightened bolts for steel and alloy wheel rims should have a
torque of 88 ft-lbs. (120 Nm). After changing a wheel, have the wheel
bolt tightening torque checked right away with an accurate torque
wrench.
Before you check the tightening torque, replace corroded and diffi-
cult-to-turn wheel bolts and clean the threads in the wheel hub.
Never grease or oil the wheel bolts and the threads in the wheel
hubs. The bolts can come loose while driving if greased or oiled, even
if tightened to the required torque.
WARNING
Improperly tightened wheel bolts can come loose while driving
and cause you to lose control over the vehicle, resulting in ac-
cidents and serious injuries.
Only use wheel bolts that belong your vehicle and to the
wheel being installed.
Never use different wheel bolts.
Wheel bolts and wheel hub threads must always be clean,
easy-to-turn and free of oil and grease.
Only use the lug wrench that is supplied with the vehicle to
loosen the wheel bolts.
Loosen the wheel bolts only about 1 turn before lifting the
vehicle with the jack.
Never grease or oil the wheel bolts and the threads in the
wheel hubs. The bolts can come loose while driving if greased
or oiled, even if tightened to the required torque.
Never loosen bolted connections on wheel rims with bolted
rim rings.
If the wheel bolts are not tightened to the proper torque, the
wheel can come off the vehicle when it is moving. Extremely
high torque can damage the wheel bolts and/or their threads.
