VEHICLE CARE
WARNING
The
traction
grade
is based on
brak
ing
(straightahead)
traction
tests
and
does not
include
cornering
(turning)
traction.
Temperature
A, B, C
The temperature grades A (the highest), B and C, represent the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat. Sustained high temperatures can reduce
tire
life, and lead to
sudden
tire
failure. Grade C corresponds
to a performance which all passenger car
tires must meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades
B
and A represent higher levels than the minimum required by law.
WARNING
The
temperature
grade
for
this
tire
is
established
for a
tire
that
is
properly
inflated
and not
overloaded.
Excessive
speed,
underinflation,
or excessive loading,
either
separately
or in combi
nation,
can cause
heat
buildup,
possi
ble
tire
failure,
loss of
control
and
per
sonal
injury.
Snow
tires
The tires for your vehicle were selected for optimal performance under normal driving
conditions.
For
winter driving, the roadability of your
vehicle can be improved by installing all
season
tires or radial snow tires (M + S)
with
or
without
studs1).
That applies also to the Syncro - see page 78.
When installing snow tires, please note the following:
• Only radial ply snow tires must be
installed.
Ask your Volkswagen dealer for
the recommended
tire
size.
• Snow tires should be mounted on all
four wheels.
• The
tire
pressures for snow tires are the
same
as for summer tires. However, do not
exceed
the maximum
tire
pressure listed
on the sidewalk
• Snow tires should have the same load
capacity as original equipment tires and
should be mounted on all four wheels. • Snow tires do not
fulfill
their purpose, if
the tread depth is
less
than
%2
in (4 mm).
WARNING
•
Tires
with
badly
worn
treads
and
studs are
very
dangerous.
Make
sure
they
are
replaced
immediately.
•
Never
mix
tires
of
different
design
such as
steel
belted
radials
with
radial
bias
belted
or
bias
ply
tires
etc.
Mixing
tire
types
will
adversely
affect
road
holding
and can
lead
to loss of
vehicle
control
and
personal
injury.
• Snow tires
with
studs should be run at
moderate speeds when new in order to
give the studs time to settle.
Do
not drive a vehicle equipped
with
snow
tires at prolonged high
speed.
Snow tires
do not have the same degree of traction on
dry, wet or snowfree roads as a normal tire. Furthermore, snow tires wear rapidly
under these conditions.
• Where snow tires are compulsory on
certain roads, this also applies to vehicles
with
all-wheel-drive.

Check
with
your local Motor Vehicle Bureau for
possible
restrictions.
