- On AWD vehicles, always use tires of the same make and tread design. If not, the self-locking center differential may become damaged.
Refer to TIRE INFORMATION / DISC WHEEL (RIM), INFORMATION for important information regarding approved wheel/tire combinations.
The tire pressures for the respective model are also found on a sticker. The sticker is bonded on the inside of the fuel filler door or on the B-pillar.
Make sure that the tire pressure values listed on the sticker apply to cold tires. Do not reduce tire pressure when the tires are warm.
Depending on the vehicle the sticker my contain a comfort filling pressure. The comfort filling pressure increases the driving comfort.
Adjust the tire pressure to vehicle load. The partial load tire pressure should be used during the pre-delivery inspection or when servicing.
If the tire pressure for the spare wheel is not listed, then fill the spare wheel with the highest tire pressure specified for the vehicle.
Make sure that a basic setting is performed after each time the pressure is changed on vehicles with the tire pressure monitoring system.
Winter tires
Refer to TIRE INFORMATION / DISC WHEEL (RIM), INFORMATION for important information regarding winter tires recommended by Volkswagen.
If winter tires are installed, a label informing the customer of the speed limit must be affixed inside the passenger compartment so that it is clearly visible.
On winter tires, the tire pressure must no longer be increased. The same tire pressure only applies if the winter tires being used are the exact same size as the approved summer tires, and the speed index does not exceed "H". If the winter tire size is not the same as the summer tire size, observe the recommendations from the tire manufacturer.
