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.

The appearance of the sticker may differ be-
tween v
ehicles. It may include additional tyre
sizes.
The wrong tyre pressure will have a negative
effect on the vehicle

Tread depth
Most driving situations require the highest
possible tread depth. All tyres should ha
ve an
even tread depth on at least one axle. This is
especially true in wet or wintry road condi-
tions.
In most countries, the legally permissible
minimum tread depth is reached at 1.6 mm
(1/16 in) residual tread - measured in the
tread grooves next to the wear indicators
(observe deviating country-specific legal reg-
ulations). The tyres should have the same
tread depth, at the minimum on each axle

ehicles in the EU and the so-called EU user
states are issued an EC Certificate of Con-
formity. This details the size, diameter and
speed range of all tyres approved by Volks-
wagen for the relevant vehicle type.

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

In vehicles with a Tyre Pressure Loss
Indicator, the system must be re-
synchronised when snow chains are fitted

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. 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

Breakdown set
Introduction to the topic
The breakdown set can be used to temporari-
ly and reliably seal any tyre damage caused
by f
oreign bodies or punctures (up to approx.
4 mm in diameter). Do not remove foreign
objects (e.g. screws or nails) from the tyre!
Once the sealant has been added to the tyre,
the tyre pressure must be checked and adjus-
ted again after approximately 10 minutes of
driving.
Seek expert assistance if more than one of
the vehicle

Dispose of used or out-of-date sealant
in accordance with legal requirements.
You can get a new tyre filler bottle
from a V
olkswagen dealership. Observe the separate instructions from
the manufacturer of the breakdown
set. Contents of the breakdown set
