Stowing the Automatic Rollover Support System®

Fig. 174 Deployed rollover protection support behind the rear seat backrest.

Volkswagen recommends having the work performed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Do not attempt to push the deployed rollover supports back down unless this is absolutely necessary. When the CSC roof is down, the deployed rollover supports push against the CSC roof and are under considerable tension. For this reason, a lot of strength is required to push and hold the supports down, and you must assume a very uncomfortable position while doing so:
x Push the release lever ⇒ fig. 174 (1) in the direction of the arrow (2) and hold it in this position.
x Then, push down the top part of the rollover support down about 11.8 inches (30 cm) (3) and let go of the release lever (1).
x Make sure that nobody touches the release lever when the support is pushed down the rest of the way.
x Push the support down completely until it locks into place.
WARNING
Stowing the deployed rollover supports can be dangerous and can lead to serious injury.
x Do not try to push the rollover support back down if there is any object in its channel. A foreign object can keep the rollover support system from working or locking properly or cause it to deploy unexpectedly.
x The rollover protection supports must properly lock into place after being stowed. Otherwise, they can deploy unexpectedly.

Wheel bolts

Fig. 184 Changing a wheel: Loosening wheel bolts.

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 difficult-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 accidents and serious injuries.
x Only use wheel bolts that belong your vehicle and to the wheel being installed.
x Never use different wheel bolts.
x Wheel bolts and wheel hub threads must always be clean, easy-to-turn and free of oil and grease.
x Only use the lug wrench that is supplied with the vehicle to loosen the wheel bolts.
x Loosen the wheel bolts only about 1 turn before lifting the vehicle with the jack.
x 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.
x Never loosen bolted connections on wheel rims with bolted rim rings.
x 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.
