For technical reasons, snow chains cannot be used on the compact spare wheel ⇒Compact spare
wheel .
If you must use snow chains and have a compact spare wheel mounted, move the compact spare
wheel to the rear axle if a front tire has to be replaced. The tire taken off the rear axle can then be
used to replace the flat front tire. Be sure to install the unidirectional tires so that they will run in the
proper direction. Volkswagen recommends installing the snow chains before mounting the wheel to
the vehicle.
WARNING
Using the wrong snow chains or installing snow chains improperly can cause accidents and se‐
vere personal injuries.
Always use the proper snow chains.
Follow the installation instructions provided by the snow chain manufacturer.
Never exceed the permissible speed limit when driving with snow chains.
NOTE
Remove snow chains when roads are free of snow. Otherwise, the chains can damage the
tires, impair vehicle handling and can be quickly worn down.
Snow chains can scratch or damage wheel rims if they have direct contact with the rims.
Volkswagen recommends using coated snow chains.
