(mu ltifunction display) menu The multifunction display (MFD) has two au-

memories: 1 - Partial memory and 2 -
Total memory . The selected memory will be
shown in the upper right-hand corner of the
display.
With the ignition switched on, and memory 1

from one memor y
to another
1
Trip memo-
ry (for a sin-
gle jour-
ney).
The memory stores the values for the
journey and the consumption from the
moment the ignition is switched on until
it is switched off again.
If the journey is broken for more than 2
hours, the memory is automatically
erased. If the journey is continued in less
than 2 hours after the ignition is switch-
ed off, the new data is added to the data
already stored in the memory.
2 Total mem-
ory (for all
journeys).
The memory records the values for a spe-
cific number of partial trips, up to a total
of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99 hours
and 59 minutes, or 1999.9 km (or miles)
for 9999 km (or miles), depending on the
model of instrument panel. On reaching
either of these limits, the memory is au-
tomatically erased and starts to count
from 0 again. Possible displays
Travelling timeThis indicates the hours (h) and mi-
nutes (min) since the ignition was
switched on.
Current fuel
consumption
The current fuel consumption while
driving is displayed in l/100 km (or
miles per gallon, mpg); when the en-
gine is running but the vehicle is not
moving, in l/h (or gallons per hour).
Average fuel
consumption
When the ignition is switched on, the
average consumption (in l/100 km or
in mpg) is displayed after the vehicle
has moved approximately 100 metres
(328 feet). Otherwise horizontal lines
are displayed. The value shown is up-
dated approximately every 5 seconds.
Operating
range
Approximate distance in km (or miles)
that can still be travelled with the fuel
remaining in the tank, assuming the
same style of driving is maintained.
This is calculated using the current
fuel consumption.
Distance cov-
eredDistance travelled, after ignition is
switched on, in km (or miles).
Average speed
After the ignition is switched on, the
average speed will be shown after a
distance of approximately 100 metres
(328 feet) has been travelled. Other-
wise horizontal lines are displayed.
The value shown is updated approxi-
mately every 5 seconds.

when the level is below .
Coolant specifications
The engine cooling system is supplied from
the factory with a specially treated mixture of
water and at least 40 % of the additive G13
(TL-VW 774 J), purple. This mixture gives the
necessary frost protection down to -25°C (-13°F) and protects the light alloy parts of
the engine coo
ling system against corrosion.
It also prevents scaling and considerably rai-
ses the boiling point of the coolant.
To protect the cooling system, the percentage
of additive must always be at least 40 %,
even in warm climates where anti-freeze pro-
tection is not required.
If for weather reasons further protection is
necessary, the proportion of additive may be
increased, but only up to 60 %; otherwise an-
tifreeze protection will diminish and this will
worsen cooling.
When the coolant is topped up, use a mixture
of distilled water and at least 40 % of the
G13 or G12 plus-plus (TL-VW 774 G) additive
(both are purple) to obtain an optimum anti-
corrosion protection ››› in Coolant specifi-
c ation
s on p
age 279. The mixture of G13
with G12 plus (TL-VW 774 F), G12 (red) or
G11 (green-blue) engine coolants will signifi-
cantly reduce anti-corrosion protection and
should therefore be avoided ››› in Coolant

● Take the adapter for anti-theft wheel bolts
out of the
vehicle tool kit.
● Insert the adapter onto the anti-theft wheel
bolt.
● Fit
the wheel brace onto the adapter as far
as po
ssible.
● Hold the wheel brace at the end and rotate
the bolt ap
proximately one turn anticlockwise
››› .
Impor t
ant
information about wheel bolts
The wheel rims and bolts have been de-
signed to be fitted to factory options. If differ-
ent rims are fitted, the correct wheel bolts
with the right length and correctly shaped
bolt heads must be used. This ensures that
wheels are fitted securely and that the brake
system functions correctly.
In some circumstances, wheel bolts from the
same model vehicle should not be used.
Wheel bolt tightening torque
The prescribed tightening torque for wheel
bolts for steel and alloy wheels is 140 Nm.
Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon as possible with a reliable
torque wr
ench.
If wheel bolts are rusty and it is difficult to
tighten them, the threads should be replaced
and cleaned before checking the tightening
torque.
Never grease or lubricate wheel bolts or the
wheel hub threads. Although they have been
tightened to the prescribed torque, they
could come loose while driving. WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not fitted correctly they
cou l
d be released while driving leading to
loss of vehicle control and serious damage.
● Only use wheel bolts which correspond to
the wheel rims in que
stion.
● Never use different wheel bolts.
● The bolts and threads should be clean, free
of oil
and grease and easy to thread.
● To loosen and tighten the wheel bolts, al-
way
s use the wheel brace supplied with the
vehicle.
● Loosen the wheel bolts only about one turn
before r
aising the vehicle with the jack.
● Never grease or lubricate wheel bolts or the
wheel hub thre
ads. Although they have been
tightened to the prescribed torque, they
could come loose while driving.
● Never loosen the bolted joints of wheel
rims with bo
lted ring trims. ●
If the wheel bo
lts are not tightened to the
correct torque, they may come loose while
driving, and the bolts and rims may come
out. If the tightening torque is too high, the
wheel bolts and threads can be damaged. Raising the vehicle with the jack

The essentials
● Us
in
g the hexagonal socket in the wheel
brace ››› Fig. 70, unscrew the slackened
wheel bolts and place them on a clean sur-
face.
● Take off the wheel.
Putting on the s
pare wheel
Check the direction of rotation of the tyre
››› page 50.
● Fit the wheel.
● Screw on the anti-theft locking bolt with
the adapt
er in position ››› Fig. 67 2 or
3 clockwise and tighten gently.
●
Replace the other wheel bolts and tighten
s ligh
tl
y using the hexagonal socket on the
end of the wheel brace.
● Lower the car with the jack.
● Tighten all of the wheel bolts clockwise
›››
. Tighten the bolts in diagonal pairs (not
in a c ir
c
le).
● Put the caps, trim or full hubcap back on
›››
page 46. WARNING
If the wheel bolts are not treated suitably or
not tight ened t
o the correct torque then this
could lead to loss of vehicle control and to a
serious accident.
● All the wheel bolts and hub threads should
be cle
an and free of oil and grease. The wheel bolts should be easily tightened to the cor-
rect
t
orque.
● The hexagonal socket in the wheel brace
should be u
sed for turning wheel bolts only.
Do not use it to loosen or tighten the wheel
bolts. Tyres with directional tread pattern
Tyres with directional tread pattern have
been des
igned t
o operate best when rotating
in only one direction. An arrow on the tyre
sidewall indicates the direction of rotation on
tyres with directional tread ›››
page 294.
Always observe the indicated direction of ro-
tation in order to guarantee optimum grip
and help avoid aquaplaning, excessive noise
and wear.
If the tyre is mounted in the opposite direc-
tion of rotation, drive with extreme caution,
as the tyre is no longer being used correctly.
This is of particular importance when the
road surface is wet. Change the tyre as soon
as possible or remount it with the correct di-
rection of rotation.
Subsequent work ●
On alloy wheels: repl
ace the wheel bolt
caps.
● On plate wheels: rep l
ace the wheel hubcap. ●
Return al
l tools to their proper storing loca-
tion ›››
page 83.
● Check the tyre pressure of the newly moun-
ted tyr
e as soon as possible.
● If the vehicle is fitted with a tyre monitoring
syst
em, this should be “reprogrammed” if
necessary whenever a tyre is changed
››› page 234.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts c
hecked as soon as possible with a tor-
que wrench ››› page 48. Meanwhile, drive
carefully.
Snow chains
Use When using snow chains, applicable local
l
e
gi
slation and maximum permitted speed
limits must be observed.
In winter weather, snow chains not only help
to improve grip but also improve the braking
capacity.
Snow chains must only be mounted on the
front wheels , even on all-wheel drive vehi-
cles, and only with the tyre and rim combina-
tions listed below:
