WARNING
Tires must have the required clearance. Tires that do not have enough clearance can rub
against parts of the vehicle body, suspension, and brake system, causing brake system
failure, tread delamination, and sudden blowouts.
x Always make sure that new tires are not larger than the tires approved for your vehicle
and that the new tires do not rub against parts of the vehicle.
NOTICE
x When switching to different tires, make certain the valves and sensors are not damaged.
x Never drive without valve stem caps. The valves and sensors of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System could be damaged.
x If the sensor on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System must be replaced, the valve must be
replaced at the same time.
Always dispose of old tires in accordance with legal requirements.
TPMS wheel sensors are classified as Perchlorate Material – Special handling may apply. Obey
all legal requirements regarding handling and disposal of these components – see
http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. Obey all applicable legal requirements regarding
handling and disposal of the vehicle or parts of its restraint system, including airbag modules and
safety belts with pretensioners. Authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service
Facilities are familiar with the requirements, and we recommend that you have them perform this
service for you.
If the replacement wheel is different from the tires that you have mounted on your vehicle (for
example: winter tires; wider, low-profile tires; or a compact spare), then use the replacement wheel for
a short time only, and drive cautiously.
x Replace it with a tire matching the others on your vehicle as soon as possible.
Although tire size specifications can be the same, the actual dimensions may differ from those
nominal values for different tire makes, or the tire contours may be significantly different.
