Always make sure that all passengers, especially children, are in a safe place outside the vehi‐
cle and away from the vehicle and traffic (such as behind a guard rail).
Turn on the emergency flashers and set up another warning device about 25yards
(25meters) behind the vehicle to warn approaching traffic.
Change a wheel by yourself only if you are familiar with the necessary steps. Otherwise, get
expert assistance.
Always make sure that the ground is level and firm. If necessary, place the jack on a large and
sturdy board or on a similar ground support.
Always use proper and undamaged tools when changing a wheel.
Never loosen the screws on rims with threaded rim rings.
After changing a wheel, check the wheel bolt tightening torque checked with an accurate
torque wrench.
Always use a jack that has been approved by the manufacturer for your vehicle. Never use
other jacks, even if they have been approved for use on other Volkswagen models.
WARNING
Sudden vehicle movement when changing a tire can cause the vehicle to slip off the jack and
cause serious personal injury. Only placing the transmission in Park (P) will not prevent the vehi‐
cle from moving suddenly when one wheel is off the ground. Before raising the vehicle:
Always shift the transmission to Park (P), firmly apply the parking brake, stop the engine, and
remove the key from the vehicle.
Always block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed with chocks or other
similar things.
