x
The refilled brake fluid must be new. WARNING
Brake fluid is toxic.
x In order to reduce the risk of poisoning,
ne
ver use bottles or other containers to
store brake fluid. There is always a risk
of someone drinking from such contain-
ers, even if they are labelled appropri-
ately.
x Brake fluid must always be stored in its
original sealed container and kept out of
the reach of children. NOTICE
Brake fluid that has leaked or been spilt can
damage the v
ehicle paintwork, plastic parts
and tyres. Wipe off brake fluid that has
leaked or been spilled immediately from all
parts of the vehicle. Brake fluid can pollute the environ-
ment. Any spilt service fluids must be
cleaned up and disposed of properly. 12-volt vehicle battery
Introduction to the topic
The 12-
volt vehicle battery is a component of
the electrical system and in event of the
high-voltage system failing, supplies the
safety-relevant systems of the vehicle with
energy. In the scope of maintenance work,
the 12-volt vehicle battery is checked and
where required, replaced.
You should only carry out work on the electri-
cal system if you know exactly how to per-
form the required tasks, are aware of the
general safety procedures and have access to
the correct equipment, service fluids and
suitable tools. Failing to carry out work cor-
rectly can cause serious injuries

WARNING
Wheels must have the necessary clearance.
If the wheels do not ha ve the necessary
clearance, the tyre could rub on parts of
the running gear, the vehicle body and the
brake lines. This can lead to a fault in the
brake system and to tread separation and
thus to a tyre bursting.
x The actual tyre size must not exceed the
tyre dimensions of manufacturers ap-
proved by Volkswagen and must not rub
on any vehicle body parts. NOTICE
Avoid heavy impacts and drive round obsta-
cles whene
ver possible. Tyres can be de-
formed in particular by potholes and kerb
edges. This can cause damage to the tyres
and wheel rims. NOTICE
Do not damage the valves when fitting dif-
f
erent tyres. Never drive without valve caps.
This could cause damage to the valves. Old tyres should be disposed of prop-
erly and as required by legislation.
If the spare tyre is not the same as the
tyres that are mounted on the car - f

or
example in the case of winter tyres or a tem-
porary spare wheel - only use the spare tyre
in the event of a breakdown for a short peri-
od of time and drive with extra care. Refit the
normal road wheel as soon as possible.
Volkswagen-approved tyres are guar-
anteed to have the dimensions that are
suitable for the vehicle. In the case of other
tyres, the tyre seller must provide a certifi-
cate from the tyre manufacturer stating that
the tyre is also suitable for the vehicle. This
certificate must be stored in a safe place in
the vehicle. Wheel rims and wheel bolts
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 328.
Wheel rims, tyres and wheel bolts are match-
ed to the v

ehicle type. If different wheel rims
are fitted, the correct wheel bolts with the
correct length and correctly shaped bolt
heads must be used. This ensures that the
brakes work properly and that the vehicle
drives quietly and safely.
For technical reasons, it is not generally pos-
sible to use the wheel rims from other vehi-
cles. This can also apply to wheel rims of the
same vehicle type.
The tightening torque of the wheel bolts
must be checked regularly with a properly
functioning torque wrench.

Changing a wheel
Introduction to the topic
You should carry out a wheel change yourself
only when the v
ehicle is parked safely, you
are familiar with the safety procedures and
have access to the correct equipment. Some
models are delivered from the factory with-
out a jack or box spanner. If this is the case,
wheels should be changed by a qualified
workshop.
The jack supplied with the vehicle is only de-
signed for changing a wheel when one vehi-
cle tyre is damaged and has to be replaced. If
both tyres on one side of the vehicle, both
tyres on one axle, or all tyres are damaged,
seek expert assistance. WARNING
Changing a wheel can be dangerous, espe-
cially when carried out at the side of a road.
Please note the f

ollowing steps in order to
reduce the risk of serious injuries:
x Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and
when safe to do so. Park the vehicle at
a safe distance from moving traffic in
order to carry out the wheel change.
x All passengers and children in particular
must be at a safe distance and away
from the area of work during the wheel
change.
x Switch on the hazard warning lights to
warn other road users.
x Check that the surface the vehicle is
parked on is level and firm. If necessary,
use a large, strong board or similar sup-
port for the jack.
x Only change the wheel yourself when
you feel confident with carrying out the
procedure. If not, seek expert assistance.
x Always use suitable and undamaged
tools to change the wheel.
x Always switch off the electric drive via
the ignition and move the selector lever to the P position to reduce the risk of
unintended v

ehicle movement.
x Switch on the electronic parking brake.
x The wheel bolt tightening torque should
be checked with a correctly functioning
torque wrench immediately after chang-
ing a wheel.
x In the case of vehicles with a Tyre Pres-
sure Loss Indicator, the system must be
re-synchronised immediately after
a wheel change

Data from driver assist systems are also re-
corded. In addition to inf
ormation about
whether the systems were switched on or
off, available only to a restricted extent or in-
active, it is also possible to determine wheth-
er these functions steered, accelerated or
braked the vehicle in the above-described sit-
uations. Depending on the vehicle equip-
ment, these systems include the following:

Gross rear axle weight rating
kg1,120
Maximum trailer weight braked, gradients up to 12 % kg 1,000
Maximum trailer weight braked, gradients up to 8 % kg 1,200
Maximum trailer weight unbraked kg750
Maximum permitted gross combination weight kg3,480
