WARNING
- Check tyre pressures regularly and always keep to the specified tyre pressure value. If the tyre pressure is too low, it is possible that the tyre temperature will increase to such an extent that the tread peels off and the tyre bursts.
- Always maintain correct cold tyre pressure as listed on the tyre pressure label .
- Check tyre pressure regularly when the tyres are cold. Adjust tyre pressure in the cold tyre to the recommended tyre pressure for the tyres installed on your vehicle as necessary.
- Check your tyres regularly for signs of wear or damage.
- Never exceed the top speed and load permitted for the fitted tyres.
Under-inflated tyres 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 only be replaced 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.
