Useful information about wheels and tyres
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Handling wheels and tyres 
⇒ Wheel rims and wheel bolts 
⇒ Tyre pressure 
⇒ Tread depth and wear indicators 
⇒ Tyre damage 
⇒ Spare wheel or temporary spare wheel 
⇒ Tyre lettering and tyre type 
⇒ Maximum load and speed range for tyres 
⇒ Winter tyres 
⇒ Snow chains 
The tyres are the most heavily loaded and most underestimated parts of a vehicle. Tyres are very
important as the narrow tyre contact surfaces are the only contact between the vehicle and the
road.
The service life of tyres is dependent on tyre pressure, driving style, handling and correct fitting.

WARNING
New tyres or tyres which are old, worn down or damaged cannot provide full vehicle control and
braking efficiency.

Use a shampoo for very stubborn dirt only.
Waxing
Waxing protects the paintwork. At the latest when water no longer clearly forms small drops and
runs off the paintwork when the vehicle is clean, reapply the protection to the vehicle using a quality
preservative wax.
Even if a preservative wax is applied regularly in the automatic car wash, Volkswagen recommends
protecting the vehicle paintwork at least twice a year using Volkswagen Genuine hard wax (-
000 096 317 -).
Polishing
Polishing is only necessary if the paint has lost its shine, and the gloss cannot be brought back by
applying wax.
Matt-painted vehicle parts must not be polished in order to avoid producing a shine ⇒ .

WARNING

Volkswagen recommends using Volkswagen Genuine de-icing agent (- 000 096 322 -) for de-icing. Do
not use door lock de-icer containing grease solvents.
