amage.


If the tyre pressure is too low, this will increase fuel consumption and tyre wear.

When new tyres are driven at high speeds for the first time, they can expand slightly and trigger a
one-off pressure warning.

Old tyres should be replaced only by tyres that have been approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle
type.

Do not rely solely on the tyre monitoring system. Check your tyres regularly to ensure that they are
properly inflated and have no signs of damage, such as punctures, cuts, cracks, and blisters. Remove
any objects that become embedded in the tyre tread but have not penetrated into the body of the
tyre itself.
Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Functional description
The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator uses data from the ABS sensors and other functions to compare the
speed of rotation and the rolling circumference of the individual wheels.
The rolling circumference can change:

Rotating wheels
Regularly rotating the wheels as shown in the illustration Fig. 193is recommended to help ensure
that tyres wear evenly. All the tyres will then last for about the same time.
Volkswagen recommends having the wheels changed by a qualified workshop.

Tyres that are older than 6 years
Tyres age through physical and chemical processes that can impair their function. Tyres that have
been stored unused for an extended period of time age more quickly than tyres that are used all the
time.
Volkswagen recommends replacing tyres that are older than 6 years with new tyres. This also applies
to tyres which appear to still be in good condition and whose tread depth has not yet reached the
minimum value stipulated by legislation
Winter and all-year tyres also largely lose their effectiveness through ageing regardless of the
remaining tread depth.
The age of each tyre can be determined using the manufacturing date Tyre lettering and tyre

that have not been run in have reduced grip and braking efficiency

e.g. tyre identification number and manufacturing date.
Any additional numbers and letters are internal codes used by the tyre manufacturer or country-
specific identifiers.
Low-profile tyres
Low-profile tyres have a wider tread surface, larger rim diameter and lower side walls than
conventional wheel/tyre combinations -profile tyres can improve the vehicle's handling
and precision. They may however result in a less comfortable ride on poor road surfaces and tracks.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
An arrow on the tyre sidewall indicates the direction of rotation on tyres with directional tread
pattern. The direction of rotation must be observed in all cases. This guarantees the best possible
running characteristics.
If, however, the tyre is fitted in the opposite direction to the tread pattern, you must take more care
when driving as the tyre is now no longer being used according to its designation. The tyre must be
replaced as quickly as possible or be fitted with the tread in the correct direction.
Asymmetrical tyres
Asymmetrical tyres take into account the differing behaviour of the inner and outer areas of the
tread pattern. The sidewalls of asymmetrical tyres are marked to indicate "inside" or "outside".
Make sure that you observe the correct tyre positioning on the wheel rim.
Tyre load
The load index indicates how many kilograms can be loaded onto an individual tyre (tyre load).

Speed limitation
Winter tyres have a speed limit depending on the speed index Tyre lettering and tyre type
Speed warning settings can be made and adjusted in the Infotainment system using the
button and the and Tyres function buttons.
If you use V-rated winter tyres, the speed limits and required tyre pressure are determined by the
engine size. In this case, always ask a Volkswagen dealership about the maximum permitted speed
and required tyre pressure.
All-wheel drive (4MOTION)
Thanks to its all-wheel drive, the vehicle has good traction in winter conditions, even with the
standard tyres. Nevertheless, Volkswagen still recommends that winter tyres or all-year tyres should
be fitted on all four wheels in winter, above all because this will give improved braking efficiency.

Features of the flexible service
With the flexible service, you only need to have an oil change service carried out if your vehicle
requires one. Individual operating conditions and personal driving style are taken into account in
order to determine this point in time. An important part of the flexible service is the use of LongLife
engine oil instead of conventional oil.

If you do not wish to have the flexible service, you can opt for the fixed service instead. However, a
fixed service can affect your service costs. Your service advisor will be pleased to help.

Start with the roof and work from the top to the bottom.


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

If a mobile phone or two-way radio is used without being connected to the external aerial, the
electromagnetic radiation will not be optimally directed to the outside of the vehicle. Increased
levels of radiation in the vehicle interior can occur in particular in the event of poor reception, e.g. in
rural areas. This can pose a health risk
With some equipment levels, a suitable mobile phone interface may be used to connect the mobile
telephone to the external aerial Infotainment system,. The connection quality is improved
and the range is increased.

The selling Volkswagen dealership will issue a comprehensive LongLife mobility guarantee for every
new vehicle which applies from the time of delivery until the first due inspection. If you purchase
your new vehicle directly from Volkswagen AG, Volkswagen AG will issue the LongLife mobility
guarantee from the time of delivery until the first due inspection.
Your Volkswagen dealership will extend the LongLife mobility guarantee until the following
inspection when the due inspection is carried out by the dealership. The service costs include the
entire guarantee package.
The comprehensive LongLife mobility guarantee includes the following services:
If your vehicle can no longer be driven due to a technical defect1), corresponding assistance will be
provided in the case of breakdown or accident. The LongLife mobility guarantee provides with you
protection and mobility.
The inspection is not only about car maintenance - it also ensures that your car remains roadworthy
and in perfect working order. For this reason, servicing should be carried out regularly in accordance
with the manufacturer's specifications.
Your entitlement to the LongLife mobility guarantee is documented in the digital service schedule
each time your car is serviced. A full service history shows that your car has been professionally
maintained and cared for.
1) A vehicle which can no longer be driven is a vehicle which cannot reach a workshop under its own
power.
Data storage and services
Your vehicle is fitted with electronic control units. Some of these are required to make sure your
vehicle remains safe while others provide support while driving (driver assist systems). Furthermore,
your vehicle is equipped with convenience and Infotainment functions, which are also made possible
using electronic control units.
Electronic control units contain data memories which can store information regarding the vehicle
status, component load levels, servicing requirements, technical events and faults on a temporary or
permanent basis. This information generally documents the status of a component, a module, a
system or the environment, e.g.:
