Tire Inflation Pressure In Cold Tires - Volkswagen Eos Owner's Manual

Driving without valve caps, with the wrong valve caps, or with valve caps that are not
properly screwed on can damage the tire valves and the sensors on the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System ⇒ p age 259. To help prevent damage, always use valve stem caps like those
originally installed at the factory. The caps must be screwed on tightly. Do not use metal valve
caps or "comfort" valve stem caps.
Underinflation increases fuel consumption.
There may be differences between the pressure readings from a tire pressure gauge and the
pressures registered by the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. The electronic Tire Pressure Monitoring
System is more accurate.
When the TPMS warns that the pressure in at least one tire is too low, check the tire pressure in
all 4 tires with an accurate tire pressure gauge. Low tire pressure usually cannot be spotted by looking
at the tire. This is especially true for low-profile tires. When checking the tire pressures, refer to

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System is configured at the factory with the correct tire inflation
pressure applicable for the vehicle model, engine and factory-installed tires. The tire inflation
pressure is listed on the tire inflation pressure label on the driver door jamb ⇒ p age 240. The tire
inflation pressures for the road tires are listed on this label. The inflation pressure for the compact
spare is as specified on the tire pressure label or on a separate label for the compact spare, if there
is one. In the event of a discrepancy between the above figures and the tire pressures listed on the
tire inflation pressure label, the pressures listed on the label are the ones you should use. The listed
pressure applies to all road tires. If different tires are installed that do not have the same cold tire
inflation pressure as the tires originally installed on your vehicle, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System cannot properly monitor tire inflation pressures unless the TPMS is reset to the new tire
pressures. Authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities have the
necessary special tools and can reset the TPMS for the new tires on your vehicle.
