WARNING
Driving on today's roads demands the full attention of the driv-
er at all times. Driver distraction causes accidents, collisions
and serious personal injury!
Never access menus when the vehicle is moving.
Emergency starting and starting the engine with a very weak ve-
hicle battery or after the vehicle battery has been replaced may
change or delete system settings (including time, date, personal con-
venience settings, and programming). Check the settings and correct
as necessary once the vehicle battery has built up a sufficient charge.

Personal convenience settings

Install only radial tires only of the same make, the same dimen-
sions (tread circumference), and similar tread profile on all 4 wheels.
The tread depth of new tires can differ between tire models and
manufacturers because of different design features and tread design.
Replacing tires
Tires should be replaced in pairs and not individually (both front
tires or both rear tires at the same time) ⇒ .
Replace tires only with tires that have the same specifications, in-
cluding width and diameter, load and top speed rating as the tires
approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle and model.
Never use tires that are larger or wider than the dimensions of the
tires approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle and model. Larger
tires could scrape and rub on the vehicle body or other parts of the
vehicle.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) considerations
Factory-installed wheels are equipped with a sensor that constantly
monitors tire pressure, then transmits this information to the TPMS ⇒ 
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). If you are going to replace
the wheels, make sure that the new wheels also have sensors that
are compatible with the TPMS on your vehicle. New wheels with sen-
sors have to be recognized and integrated into the system. The new
wheels and sensors are recognized and integrated when driving off
the first time.
If you install wheels that do not have sensors, or have sensors that
are not compatible, the TPMS will not work properly. In this case, the
TPMS will not be able to monitor tire pressure or warn you if pressure
is low. An error message may appear in the instrument cluster display
or the TPMS will switch itself off.
Whenever you change sensors, you have to install new valves and
seals. Please see an authorized Volkswagen dealer of an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility.
Always drive with the valve caps securely installed. We recom-
mend using factory-supplied valve caps. Ask an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility to
replace lost caps.
If you install new tires that differ the original Volkswagen specifica-
tions, for your vehicle and model, the benchmark tire inflation pres-

Do not rely only on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Check
your tires regularly to make sure they are properly inflated and have
no signs of damage, such as punctures, cuts, cracks, and blisters.
Remove any objects that become embedded in the tire tread but have
not penetrated into the body of tire itself.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System checks for the factory-
recommended inflation pressure, as shown on the label inside the
driver door ⇒  Tire inflation pressure.
For replacement tires that require a different inflation pressure, the
TPMS must be adjusted to the new pressure specification by an au-
thorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility. Only one value can be entered for each tire; see the tire infla-
tion pressure label on the driver door pillar ⇒  Tire inflation pressure.
To help prevent damage to the sensor and valve, do not put exces-
sive force on the valve when checking the tire pressure. Do not try to
bend the valve.
If sensors have to be replaced, have the valves changed at the
same time.
The tire valve gaskets must be replaced whenever a tire is mount-
ed on the rim. Your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility has a valve seal and gasket kit for this
purpose. Always make sure that a valve seal and gasket kit is also
used whenever a sensor is replaced.
If you have to adjust the tire pressure on a “warm” tire, fill the tire
with 2.0 - 4.35 psi (20 - 30 kPa) more than the pressure specified on
the tire pressure label.
When the TPMS determines that the air pressure in at least one
tire is too low, carefully check the pressure in all 4 tires with an accu-
rate tire pressure gauge. Low tire pressure usually cannot be deter-
mined by looking at the tire. This is especially true of low-profile tires.
A Declaration of Compliance with the United States FCC and
Industry Canada regulations is found in the Consumer Information
section of this Manual ⇒  Declaration of Compliance, Telecommunica-
tions and Electronic Systems.

Check the information on the container for the brake fluid you want to
use to make sure it meets the requirements for your vehicle.
Brake fluid that complies with VW Standard 501 14 can be pur-
chased from your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility.
If this special brake fluid is not available you may – under these cir-
cumstances – use another high quality brake fluid that complies with
U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 116 DOT 4 ⇒ 
.
Please note, however, that not all brake fluids that comply with U.S.
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4 have the
same chemical composition. Some of these brake fluids can contain
chemicals that could, over time, degrade or damage internal parts of
the vehicle’s brake system.
Volkswagen therefore recommends that you use brake fluid that ex-
pressly complies with VW Standard 501 14 for optimum brake sys-
tem performance over the long term.
Brake fluid level
The fluid level in the transparent brake fluid reservoir must always be
between the MIN and MAX marking ⇒ .
On some vehicles, engine components block the view of the brake
fluid reservoir and make it impossible to see the brake fluid level. If
you cannot clearly see the brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir,
please see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility.
The brake fluid level drops slightly when the vehicle is being used as
the brake pads wear and the brakes are automatically adjusted.
Changing brake fluid
Brake fluid must be changed according to the service schedule in
your ⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance. Have the brake fluid
checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility. Refill only with new brake fluid that
meets the standards listed above.

Your engine was factory-filled with a high-quality, “synthetic” all-
season engine oil that meets strict Volkswagen oil quality standards
and has a viscosity grade of SAE 5W-40 or SAE 5W-30. You can use
this oil for normal driving in all temperatures.
If you need to add oil between oil changes, use only a high quality oil
that expressly complies with the Volkswagen oil quality standard
specified for your vehicle's engine:

Engines Engine oil specification
200 hp (147 kW), 2.0L
VW 502 00
VW 503 00
VW 504 00
280 hp (206 kW), 3.6L
VW 501 01
VW 502 00
VW 503 00

At the time this Manual was printed, the engine oils available in the
U.S. that meet these Volkswagen standards are “synthetic” oils. This
does not mean, however, that any “synthetic” engine oil will meet
Volkswagen standards. Always use an approved oil that expressly
complies with the Volkswagen oil quality standard that applies to your
vehicle's engine.
General recommendations:
If “synthetic” oil that meets the applicable Volkswagen oil quality
standard with viscosity grade SAE 5W-40 or SAE 5W-30 is not avail-
able in your area, be sure to use a viscosity grade suitable for the
climate, season, and operating conditions that exist where the vehicle
is used. Make sure the oil meets the quality standard.
Engine oils are constantly being improved. Authorized Volkswagen
dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities are always up-
to-date regarding new developments and changes. Volkswagen
therefore recommends that you have the engine oil changed by an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility.

as necessary once the vehicle battery has built up a sufficient charge.
Warning light

8. Set up a warning triangle or other warning device in order to alert
other motorists and cyclists.
9. Let the engine cool down and get expert assistance if necessary.
If the emergency flashers are on, use the turn signal lever to indicate
a direction or lane change, for example when the vehicle is being
towed. This temporarily interrupts the emergency flashers.
Switch on the emergency flashers when:
Traffic suddenly slows down or stops in front of you to warn those
approaching from behind.
In any emergency situation.
If the vehicle breaks down.
When being towed.
Always obey traffic laws that govern the use of emergency flashers
where you are driving.
If the emergency flashers are not working, a different method – as
permitted by law – must be used to alert other motorists and cyclists
to the breakdown.
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.
WARNING
The vehicle exhaust system and the catalytic converter get very
hot. They can cause fires and serious personal injury.
Never park where parts of the hot exhaust system or catalytic
converter could ignite flammable materials, such as dry grass,
brush, leaves, spilled fuel, etc.
The vehicle battery will be drained if the emergency flashers are
on for a long time – even if the ignition is switched off.

2. Switch off the engine. Automatic transmission: shift the transmis-
sion into Park (P)) ⇒  Automatic transmission: Selector lever. Man-
ual transmission only: shift into a gear ⇒  Manual transmission:
Gearshift lever. Then set the electronic parking brake ⇒ Braking
and parking to help prevent the vehicle from moving.
3. If towing a trailer: Unhitch the trailer from the vehicle and park the
trailer properly.
4. Straighten the steering wheel so that the front wheels point straight
forward.
5. Block the diagonally opposite wheel with chocks or other suitable
things.
6. Loosen the wheel bolts of the wheel to be changed ⇒  Wheel bolts.
7. Find the jack lift point ⇒ fig. 191 on the vehicle frame that is closest
to the wheel to be changed.
8. Crank up the jack so that it still just fits underneath the lift point.
9. Position the jack so that its base is directly underneath the lift point
⇒ fig. 192, making sure that the entire base of the jack rests se-
curely on the ground.
10. Align the jack and wind up the jack claw at the same time, until
the claw cradles the vertical rib underneath the vehicle ⇒ fig. 192.
11. Continue cranking up the jack until the wheel is just a little off
the ground.
