2008 VOLKSWAGEN CC flat tire

Spare wheel or compact spare wheel
The spare wheel or compact spare wheel has no tire pressure sen-
sor. When the spare or compact spare wheel is mounted on the vehi-
cle, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) indicator light will
flash in the instrument cluster display. The TPMS continues to moni-
tor the other 3 wheels.
Tire storage
If the tires do not move for an extended period of time, the sensors
will not transmit tire pressures to the system. This saves sensor bat-
tery life. When the ignition is switched on, the sensors transmit sig-
nals to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
WARNING
Incorrect tire pressure can cause sudden tire failure, loss of
vehicle control and serious personal injury.
Always check and correct air pressure in all 4 tires, particu-
larly after changing, exchanging, or repairing tires.
After that, always make sure that all 4 tires are inflated to the
correct tire pressure for the tires installed on the vehicle.
See the tire pressure label ⇒  Tire inflation pressure and the
Owner's Literature for recommended cold tire inflation pressure
and other important information.
When replacing tires or wheel rims on vehicles equipped with
TPMS, always read and heed all of the information and WARN-
INGS ⇒  Tires and wheels.
NOTICE
The wheel electronics are attached to special aluminum valves
on the wheels. These valves are screwed on rigidly. Never bend
the valves “into position” when checking and adjusting tire
pressure.
Missing tire air valve caps could result in damage to the
valves, as well as to the sensors on the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System. Therefore, make sure your valve caps conform to the
specifications of those originally installed on the vehicle and
that they are always tightly and properly screwed on to the
valves. Do not use metallic valve caps.

WARNING
Improper use of your vehicle jack can cause the vehicle to fall
off the jack leading to serious personal injury. To help reduce
the risk of serious personal injury:
Use only jacks approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle. Oth-
er jacks might slip, even those approved for other Volkswagen
models, but not for your vehicle.
Always set up the jack on firm and level ground. The vehicle
may slip off the jack if the jack is resting on soft or sloping
ground. If necessary, place a sturdy board under the jack.
On a hard, slippery surface (such as a tiled floor), use an anti-
skid rubber mat or something similar to help prevent the jack
from slipping.
Position the jack only at the described vehicle lift points. Be-
fore you raise your vehicle, always make sure the jack claw
properly grips the vertical rib under the sill so that the jack
does not slip off when you are raising the vehicle ⇒ fig. 192.
Never have any part of your body (such as your arm or leg)
under the vehicle when it is supported by the jack. Never let
other persons have any part of their body under the vehicle,
either!
If you must work under a vehicle raised on a floor jack, al-
ways make sure that the vehicle is safely supported on safety
stands intended for that purpose that are strong enough to
support the weight of the vehicle.
Never lift the vehicle when it is tilted or inclined to one side
or the engine is running.
Never lift the vehicle when more than 1 tire is flat or dam-
aged.
Do not start the engine while the vehicle is supported by a
jack. Engine vibrations may cause the vehicle to slip off the
jack.
