Winter tyres
winter conditions win ter tyres w ill dis­
- n ctly improve the vehicle's handling even
th e case of four
wheel drive ve hicles. This
ap plies In particular to veh icles that are
eq uipped with wide/high -speed tyres (Code
e
tters H or V in the tyre designation on the
: r e wall). Because of their construction
,lIdth, rubber mixture, tread formation etc) :n se tyres provide less traction on ice and
sn ow.
h
en fitting winter tyres note the follow­
n g:
• Onl y radial ply winter tyres may
be fitted.
h e factory recommended tyre sizes are given on page 139.
•
To obtain the best possible handling ch aracteristics, wint er tyres must be fitted o n all fou r wheels.
• The pressures for
winter tyres must be
0.2 bar higher than with summer tyres ­
s e e Technical Data on page 142.
•
Winter tyres are no longe r fully effec tive
h en the tread has worn down to a depth
o f 4 mm.
The following speed limits are valid for winter tyres:
Code letter
Q max. 160 km/h
Code letter T max. 190 km/h
Code letter H ma
x. 210 km/h
In Germany, vehicles w hich can exceed this
speed must have an appropriate sticker in the driver's field of view. Suitable stickers
are available from Volkswagen dealers.
Please note regulations to this effect
in your
cou ntry .
• All-weath er t yres
can also be used in­
stead of winter ty res .
• If you have a flat tyre the remarks on
using the spare wheel on page 114 should
be noted .
•
Do not leave winter tyres fitted for an un­
necessary long period because w hen the
roads are free of
snow and ice the handling with summer tyres is better.
r:lil:.-. For environmental reasons (!Jtf summer tyres should be fitted again as soon as possible because normally they are quieterin running, tyre wear is reduced and the fuel consumption is lower_
Snow chains
Snow chains can be used on all tyre sizes
listed on page 139. The chains may only be fitted on the front wheels -this applies also to the syncro.
The use of sno w chains on the temporary
spare wheel is not permitted for technical
reasons. Further details are given on page
114 .
Only use thin chains w hich do not stand
clea r
more than 15 mm (including ten­
sioner).
When using snow chains wheel trim plates
and trim rings must be ta ken off . For sa fety
reasons the w heel bolts must then be fitted with caps w hich are available from Volks­
wagen dealers.
When driving over roads whic h are free of snow you must remo ve the chains. On such
road s they are detrimental to vehic le handl­
ing, damage
the tyres and wear out Quickly .
In Germany , the maximum permissible
speed w ith snow chains is 50 m/h
