The effectiveness of the driver assistance systems and the braking support systems depends
on the tire traction.
If you notice unusual vibration or if the vehicle pulls to one side when driving, always stop as
soon as it is safe to do so and check the wheels and tires for damage.
To reduce the risk of losing control, crashes, and serious personal injuries, never loosen the
bolts on wheels with bolted rim rings.
Never mount used tires on your vehicle if you are not sure of their past use. Old, used tires
and wheels may have damage that cannot be seen that can lead to sudden tire failure and
loss of vehicle control.
Tires age even if they are not being used and can fail suddenly, especially at high speeds,
causing loss of vehicle control, accidents, and severe personal injuries. Tires that are more
than 6years old can be used only in an emergency and even then only with special care and
at low speed.
WARNING
Improperly tightened or missing wheel bolts can come loose while driving, causing loss of vehicle
control, collisions, and serious personal injuries.
Never drive with missing or loose wheel bolts.
Only use wheel bolts that are designed for your vehicle and for the wheel being installed.
Always tighten the wheel bolts to the correct tightening torque. If you do not have a torque
wrench, tighten the wheel bolts with a lug wrench and have the torque checked as soon as
possible by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
For technical reasons it is usually not possible to use wheel rims from other vehicles. Even wheel
rims from the same model may not fit properly. Check with an authorized Volkswagen dealer or
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility if necessary.
