Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Emergency Wheels
Spare Wheel Notes
| If Necessary, Explain to the Customer the Information About
Tires and Refer the Customer to the Owner's Manual. |
|
|
|
| The following notes listed also apply to spare wheels that
are marked with a yellow sticker with the note “MAX 80 km/h” or
“MAX 50 mph”. |
 Note
| The vehicle may have a spare wheel with the above mentioned
sticker in place of an emergency wheel, depending on the vehicle
equipment. |
| Emergency wheel/spare wheel is designed only for sporadic
and brief use. Therefore it is to be replaced with the normal
wheel again as soon as possible. |
| After mounting the emergency wheel/spare wheel, tire
inflation pressure must be checked as soon as possible. |
| The tire pressures are listed on the tire pressure label on
the inside of the fuel filler door and on the B-pillar on the
driver side. |
| Always observe the speed rating on the spare tire on the
emergency wheel (“MAX 80 km/h” or “MAX 50 mph”). |
| Wide Open Throttle (WOT) acceleration, strong braking and
rapid driving around curves should be prevented. |
| It is not permissible to use snow chains on the emergency
wheel for technical reasons. |
| If vehicle must be driven with snow chains, therefore the
emergency wheel must be installed on the rear axle for a
breakdown on the front axle. The rear wheel freed up must then
be mounted in place of the faulty front wheel. |
| Refer to the Parts Catalog for replacement part number. |
