2008 VOLKSWAGEN CC tire type

WARNING
Using incorrect or unmatched tires and/or wheels or improper
tire and wheel combinations can lead to loss of control, colli-
sion and serious personal injury.
Always use tires, wheels and wheel bolts that meet the speci-
fications of the original factory-installed tires or other combina-
tions that have been specifically approved by the vehicle manu-
facturer.
All 4 wheels must be fitted with radial tires of the same type,
the same size (tread circumference), and the same tread pat-
tern. Driving with different tires reduces vehicle handling and
can lead to a loss of control.
Never drive faster than the maximum speed for which the
tires installed on your vehicle are rated because tires that are
driven faster than their rated speed can fail suddenly.
Overloading tires can cause heat build-up, sudden tire fail-
ure, including a blowout and sudden deflation and loss of con-
trol.
Temperature grades apply to tires that are properly inflated
and not over- or underinflated.
Winter tires

Recommended inflation pressure
The tire pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for a tire
of a specified size that has not been driven for more than a couple of
miles (kilometers) at low speeds in the 3 hour period before the tire
pressure is measured or adjusted.
Reinforced tire
A tire designed to operate at higher loads and at higher inflation pres-
sures than the corresponding standard tire.
Rim
The outer edge of a wheel upon which the tire beads are seated.
Rim diameter
The nominal diameter of the wheel's tire bead seating surface. If you
change your wheel size, to wheels of a different diameter, you will
have to purchase new tires to match the new wheels.
Rim size
Designation means rim diameter and width.
Rim type designation
The industry or manufacturer's designation for a rim by style or code.
Rim width
The nominal distance between wheel rim flanges.
Section width
The linear distance between the exteriors of the sidewalls of an inflat-
ed tire, excluding elevations due to labeling decoration, or protective
bands.
Sidewall
The portion of a tire between the bead and the tread.
Sidewall separation
The parting of the rubber compound from the cord material in the
sidewall.

When replacing tires or wheel rims on vehicles equipped with
TPMS always read and heed the information and all WARNINGS
regarding tires and wheels ⇒  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 valve stem caps can cause damage to the valves as
well as to the TPMS sensors. To help prevent damage, always
use valve stem caps like those originally installed at the factory.
The caps must be screwed on tightly. Do not use metal valve
stem caps.
Do not use “comfort valve caps.” They do not seal properly
and can damage the sensors.
When replacing or rotating tires, make certain the valves and
sensors are not damaged.
The aluminum valves that are installed should be replaced
after about 6 years of use because of aging in the rubber seals.
The valves can be replaced when a tire is changed. Do not reuse
aluminum valves after they are removed. They must be replaced.
The tire pressure sensor can be reused.
When replacing the valve cores, use only nickel-plated re-
placement cores.
The batteries in the wheel electronics last up to 10 years. It is
not possible to replace the batteries. The entire device must be
replaced.
Underinflation increases fuel consumption and tire wear.
Dispose of the wheel electronics and the old batteries in an envi-
ronmentally responsible manner. Batteries of the type used in the
wheel electronics may contain Perchlorate Material. Special handling
may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hadardouswaste/perchlorate. Obey
all applicable legal requirements regarding proper disposal.

Cleaning upholstery on non-heated seats, manual seats, or seats
without airbag components
Before using any cleaning agent, familiarize yourself with instruc-
tions and warnings on the packaging.
Vacuum upholstery, fabric trim, Alcantara® upholstery, and carpet-
ing regularly with a suitable brush attachment.
Do not use power washers, steam cleaners, or cooling spray.
A soft sponge or a commercially available lint-free microfiber cloth
may be used for general cleaning ⇒ .
Clean Alcantara® surfaces with a damp cotton or wool cloth or a
commercially available lint-free microfiber cloth ⇒ .
Upholstery and fabric trim with light generalized soiling can be
cleaned with a commercially available dry-foam cleaner.
If the upholstery and fabric trim pieces are heavily soiled, see your
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility before you begin cleaning to learn about suitable cleaning
options. If necessary, have the cleaning done by a professional.
Treating stains
When treating stains, it may be necessary to clean the entire surface
and not just the stain itself. This is especially true if the entire surface
has become dirty from normal use. Otherwise, the area that is treated
may become lighter than the untreated area. If you have questions or
concerns, consult a professional cleaner.

Type of stain Recommended cleaning for fabric and uphol-
stery
Water-based
stains, such as
coffee or fruit
juice.
– Moisten a sponge with water and rub the stain
gently with a circular motion.
– Wipe dry with an absorbent cloth.
Persistent stains,
such as choco-
late or make-up.
– Use only Volkswagen-approved cleaning prod-
ucts.
– If necessary, have the fabric or upholstery pro-
fessionally cleaned.
