Proper response
Stop safely as soon as possi-
ble!
Reduce speed immediately! Avoid
fast cornering and hard braking!
Check the condition and inflation
pressure of all tires. Have dam-
aged tires replaced.
Proper response
Check and, if necessary, adjust
the tire inflation pressure in all
four tires. If the tire pressure is
correct, switch the ignition off
and back on. If the indicator light
flashes again and then stays on or
does not go out after checking
and adjusting the air pressure in
all four tires and recalibrating,
take the vehicle to an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an author-
ized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Have the system checked.
WARNING
Incorrect tire pressures and/or un-
derinflation can cause sudden tire
failure, loss of control, collision, se-
rious personal injury, or even death.
