winter VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 2022 Owners Manual

WARNING
Insufficient anti-freeze in the cooling sys-
tem of the v ehicle can cause the electric
drive to break down and thereby cause se-
rious injuries.
x The amount of correct coolant additive
used must be sufficient for the lowest
ambient temperature that you expect
the vehicle to be exposed to.
x Coolant can freeze at extremely cold
outside temperatures, causing the vehi-
cle to break down. Vehicle occupants
with inadequate winter clothing could
then freeze to death as the heating will
also no longer function. NOTICE
Never mix genuine coolant additives with
other coolants that ha
ve not been approved
by Volkswagen.
x If the liquid in the coolant expansion tank
is not pink (colouring results from mixing
the purple coolant additive with distilled
water) but for example brown instead of
purple, the suitable coolant has been
mixed with an unsuitable coolant additive.
The coolant must be changed as soon as
possible if this is the case. Failure to ob-
serve this warning can result in serious
malfunctions or damage to the electric
drive and cooling system. Coolant and coolant additives can pol-
lute the en

vironment. Spilt service flu-
ids must be collected and disposed of proper-
ly and with respect for the environment. Checking the coolant level
and refilling coolant
Please refer to , and on page 309
and at the start of the chapter on page
315. Fig. 179

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.

WARNING
The improved winter driving characteristics
aff orded by the winter tyres should not en-
courage you to take any risks.
Exceeding the speed limitation of winter
tyres can cause the tyres to fail suddenly
and the vehicle to lose control.
x Never disregard the speed limitation of
the winter tyres fitted, even if the per-
missible top speed of the vehicle is high-
er.
x Never exceed the maximum payload of
the winter tyres that are fitted.
x Adapt your speed and driving style to
suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions. The vehicle handling is better if sum-
mer tyres are fitted at temperatures
