Follow speed restrictions according to the winter tire's speed rating code letter ⇒ .
Speed restrictions
Winter tires are certified up to a top speed identified by speed rating code letters on the sidewall
⇒Tire labeling .
In appropriately equipped vehicles, the speed warning can be set and changed in the Vehicle set‐
tings menu in the Infotainment system.
Top speed rating and tire inflation pressure for V winter tires depend on the engine installed in your
vehicle. Be sure to ask your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility
about the maximum permissible speed and the required tire inflation pressure for the winter tires that
you plan to use.
All-wheel drive (4MOTION)
Vehicles with all-wheel drive and standard road wheels have good forward motion and traction even
under wintry road conditions. However, Volkswagen recommends installing winter tires or all season
tires on all 4wheels to improve handling as well as braking performance.
If you use snow chains, please read and heed information and directions ⇒Snow chains .
WARNING
Driving faster than the maximum speed for which the winter tires on your vehicle were designed
can cause sudden tire failure including a blowout and sudden deflation, loss of control, crashes
and serious personal injuries.
Winter tires have a maximum speed rating that may be lower than your vehicle's maximum
speed.
Never drive faster than the maximum speed for which the winter tires installed on your vehicle
are rated because tires that are driven faster than their rated speed can fail suddenly.
Never exceed the maximum load rating for the winter tires installed on your vehicle.
Install summer tires promptly in the spring. Summer tires offer better handling characteristics for
temperatures above +45°F (+7°C). They are quieter, do not wear as quickly, and reduce fuel
consumption.
