CARE
General notes
The original equipment tires
and
wheel
rims
on
your
vehicle comply with
all
applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards.
If you
wish
to
equip
your
vehicle with tires
or wheels other than those installed
at the
factory, please note
the
following:
•
If
you plan
to
install other than the
ori
ginal
equipment tires
and
wheel rims,
ask
your
Volkswagen dealer.
•
For
technical reasons
it is not
possi
ble
in
every
case
to use
wheels from
other vehicles
-
under certain condi
tions
not
even wheels from
the
same
vehicle
model.
•
Wheel rims
and
wheel bolts
or lug
nuts are matched to fit
your
Volkswagen.
•
When installing different wheels
(for
example,
wheels with winter tires),
the
correct wheel bolts
or
lug nuts with
the
proper length
and
conical shape must
be used. The secure fit of the wheels and
the proper functioning
of the
brake system are dependent upon this.
•
Using tires and/or wheels which have
not been approved
by
the manufacturer
for
your
vehicle
type
can be detrimental
to vehicle safety.
•
If
wheel trim discs
or a
front
spoiler
are
installed,
make
sure the airflow for cooling
the brakes
is not
obstructed.
•
Before
you
plan
on
exchanging steel
wheels, light alloy wheels,
or
snow tires
already mounted on wheel rims, consult
your
Volkswagen dealer. He has the tech
nical
information necessary
to
advise
you which wheel rims and wheel bolts
or
lug
nuts are compatible with the original
factory installations.
WARNING
•
The
use of the wheel rims and wheel
bolts
or
lug nuts that do not meet
speci
fications
of the
original factory
install
ed equipment will affect the safe oper
ation
of
your
vehicle and may cause an
accident and personal
injury.
Tire specifications
Tire
specifications
are
imprinted
on the
sidewall
of
the tires.
If in
doubt, check with
your
Volkswagen dealer.
All
passenger car and some light trucks tires must conform
to
Federal Safety
Requirements
in
addition
to
these
grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade
is a
comparative
rating
based
on the
wear rate
of the
tire
when tested
on a
government test course. For example,
a
tire graded
150
would wear
one
and a
half
(IV2)
times
as
well
as a
tire
graded 100.
The
relative performance
of
tires depends
on
actual conditions
of use,
however,
and may
depart significantly
from
the
norm
due to
variations
in
driving
habits,
service practices
and
differences
in road characteristics and
climate.
Traction A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest
to
lowest,
are A, B and C and
represent
the
tire's ability
to
stop
on wet
pavement
as
measured
on
government test surfaces
of
asphalt
and concrete. Atire marked
C
may
have poor traction performance.

Notes
Spark
plugs are replaced during the Volks
wagen scheduled Maintenance service. If
you replace the spark plugs between the
Volkswagen
Maintenance services, the
following should be noted: • Engine, spark plugs and the ignition
system are matched. To avoid faulty opera
tion
or engine damage, use only Original
Volkswagen
spark plugs. It is especially important to note the number of electrodes
and heat value. • Since spark plug specifications may
change
for technical reasons during a cur
rent
model year, we recommend
that
you
obtain your spark plugs from a Volks
wagen dealer who has the latest informa
tion.
