● The driver is responsible for the correct
tyre pressure in all tyres of the vehicle.
The recommended tyre pressure is always
available on a sticker
● The tyre monitoring system can only fulfil
its function if all cold tyres have the correct
tyre pressure.
● Incorrect tyre pressure values can cause
accidents and tyre damage. All tyres must
always have the correct tyre pressure for
the load

● Before every drive, always fill the tyres with
the correct tyre pressure
● On journeys with very low tyre pressure, the
tyres are necessarily subject to further
deformation. Thus, the tyres can become
so hot that the tread can become loose, the
tyres can burst and loss of control of the
vehicle can occur.
● High speeds and overloading can heat up a
tyre to such an extent that the tyre can
burst and lead to loss of vehicle control.
● Too high or too low tyre pressure shortens
the tyre life and impairs the steering
behaviour of the vehicle.
● If the tyre is not "flat" and it is not
necessary to change the tyre immediately,
drive at low speed to the nearest
Volkswagen Dealer or specialist dealer,
check and correct the tyre pressure

can lead to vehicle stalling in traffic, accidents
and serious injuries.
● Never ignore warning lights and text
messages.
● Stop the vehicle as soon as possible in a
place that is safe for all passengers in the

Important

wheels and tyres
Introduction to the topic
Tyres are the most stressed and least valued
parts of the vehicle. Tyres are very important, as
the narrow tyre tread area is the only contact
between the vehicle and the road.
The service life of tyres depends on tyre
condition, driving style, handling and correct
installation.
Volkswagen recommends that all work on
wheels and tyres be carried out by a specialist
company. Specialised companies are equipped
with all the necessary tools and replacement
parts, have the necessary technical know-how
and are trained in the proper disposal of used
tyres. For this purpose, Volkswagen reco-
Volkswagen Dealers are recommended.
