air suspension VOLKSWAGEN CC 2015 Owner´s Manual

Driving style.
Unbalanced wheels.
Wheel alignment.
Driving style – Fast cornering, hard acceleration and braking increase
tire wear. If you experience increased tire wear under normal driving
conditions, have the vehicle suspension checked by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Unbalanced wheels – The wheels on a new vehicle are balanced.
When driving, however, various conditions can cause a wheel to be-
come unbalanced. Unbalanced wheels can cause wear to the steer-
ing and suspension systems. Have all wheels rebalanced. A wheel
must always be rebalanced if a new tire has been mounted.
Wheel alignment – Incorrect wheel alignment causes excessive and
uneven tire wear, impairing vehicle safety. If you notice excessive or
uneven tire wear, have the wheel alignment checked by an author-
ized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facili-
ty.
WARNING
Unusual vibrations or pulling to one side can indicate tire dam-
age.
Reduce speed immediately and stop when it is safe to do so.
Check tires and wheel rims for damage.
Never drive with a damaged tire or rim. Get expert assistance
instead.
If no external damage is visible, slowly and carefully drive to
the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer, authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility, or other qualified workshop and
have the vehicle checked.

WARNING
Changing the vehicle's suspension including use of unap-
proved tire-rim combinations can change airbag performance
and increase the risk of serious personal injury in a crash.
Never install suspension components that do not have the
same performance characteristics as the components originally
installed on your vehicle.
Never use tire-rim combinations that have not been approved
by Volkswagen.
WARNING
Leaving the optional safety belt extender attached to the safety
belt buckle on the front passenger seat when the safety belt is
not being used will prevent the Advanced Airbag System from
working properly and can increase the risk of serious personal
injury in a collision.
Leaving the extender attached to the safety belt buckle when
the front seat is occupied and the safety belt is not being used
will signal to the airbag control unit that the front passenger
seat is occupied and that the safety belt is being used. The
electronic control unit for the airbag system will then receive
incorrect information that will
– cause the safety belt pretensioner to deploy unnecessarily
in collisions and
– cause the front passenger airbag to deploy later in colli-
sions in which the front airbag would otherwise be triggered
earlier to help protect an unrestrained front seat passenger.
Always remove the safety belt extender when it is not needed
and stow it safely.
Never use the safety belt extender to secure a child restraint.
