2009 VOLKSWAGEN CC change wheel

WARNING
Incorrect tire pressures and/or underinflation can cause sudden
tire failure, loss of control, collision, serious personal injury or
even death.
When the warning symbol appears in the instrument cluster,
stop and inspect the tires.
Incorrect tire pressure and/or underinflation can cause in-
creased tire wear and can affect the handling of the vehicle and
stopping ability.
Incorrect tire pressures and/or underinflation can also lead to
sudden tire failure, including a blowout and sudden deflation,
causing loss of vehicle control.
The driver is responsible for the correct tire pressures for all
tires on the vehicle. The recommended tire pressure values are
listed on a sticker inside the driver door ⇒  Tire inflation pres-
sure.
The TPMS can only work correctly when all tires on the vehi-
cle are filled to the correct cold tire inflation pressure specified
for the tires installed on the vehicle.
Using incorrect tire pressure values can cause accidents or
other damage. Always inflate the tires to the correct specified
cold tire pressure values for the tires installed on the vehicle.
Always maintain correct cold tire inflation pressure so that
TPMS can do its job.
Always inflate tires to the recommended and correct tire
pressure before driving off.
Driving with underinflated tires causes them to flex (bend)
more, letting them get too hot, resulting in tread separation,
sudden tire failure, and loss of control.
Excessive speed and/overloading can cause heat build-up,
sudden tire failure, and loss of control.
If the tire pressure is too low or too high, the tires will wear
prematurely and the vehicle will not handle well.
If the tire is not “flat” and you do not have to change a wheel
immediately, drive carefully and at reduced speed to the near-
est service station to check the tire pressure and add air as re-
quired.

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.

If the tire is not “flat” and you do not have to change the tire
or wheel immediately, drive at reduced speed to the nearest
service station to check the tire pressure and add air as re-
quired.
When replacing tires or wheel rims on vehicles equipped with
TPMS, always read and heed the information and all WARN-
INGS in the section ⇒  Tires and wheels.
WARNING
Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text mes-
sages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result
in a collision and serious personal injury.
Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in
vehicle damage.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Fig. 117 Display screen in the instrument cluster: Current tire pres-
sures in psi.

WARNING
The effectiveness of ESC can be significantly reduced if other
components and systems that affect vehicle dynamics, includ-
ing but not limited to brakes, tires, and other systems men-
tioned above, are not properly maintained or functioning.
Always remember that vehicle alterations or modifications
can affect the functioning of the ABS, BAS, ASR, EDL, and ESC
systems.
Changing the vehicle suspension or using an unapproved
tire/wheel combination can change the way the ABS, BAS, ASR,
EDL, and ESC systems work and reduce their effectiveness.
The effectiveness of ESC is also determined by the tires fitted
⇒  Tires and wheels.
All 4 wheels must be equipped with identical tires in order for
ESC and ASR to work properly. Differences in the tread circumfer-
ence of the tires can cause the system to reduce the engine power
when it is not expected.
If ABS is not working, ESC, ASR, and EDL will also not work.
You may hear noises when these systems are active.
Switching Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) on and off

manually.

When a turn signal is set, unnecessary lines and areas are hidden.
Orientation lines overview
Meaning of the orientation lines and areas projected on screen
⇒ fig. 155. All distances of the orientation lines refer to a vehicle on a
level surface.
(1) Red: Safety distance. Area up to about 16 inches (40 cm) behind
the vehicle on the road.
(2) Vehicle's width limits.
(3) Point to change steering angle.
When the yellow line touches the curb or any other parking
space boundary, the steering wheel must be turned in the oppo-
site direction (close-up view).
(4) The area parallel to the vehicle that is needed for parking. The
area shown must fit completely into the parking space.
(5) Parked vehicle at the curb.
Parking
Position the vehicle about 3 feet (1 meter) away from and parallel
to the parking space and shift into Reverse.
On the screen of the navigation system, activate Mode 2 for paral-
lel parking.
Back up slowly and steer the vehicle so that the yellow surface on
the screen is flush with the side boundary of the parking space (such
as the curb) and stops short of any obstacle (5), such as another ve-
hicle.
Turn the steering wheel as far as it will go into the direction of the
parking space and slowly back up.
Once the yellow line (3) touches the side of the parking space, for
example, a marking or the curb (close-up view), turn the steering
wheel as far as it will go in the opposite direction.
Continue backing up until the vehicles is positioned in the parking
space parallel to the road. If necessary, correct the parking position.
It may take up to 5 seconds for the area detected by the sensors
to be displayed on the factory-installed radio or navigation system
screen.

WARNING
Using solvents or other improper cleaning products on surfac-
es where airbags are located can change the way airbags de-
ploy in a crash.
Products containing solvents will change the properties of
the plastics and may cause plastic parts to break and fly
around when the airbag deploys in a crash, causing injury.
Never use solvents or cleaners on the steering wheel horn
pad or on the instrument panel because they can damage the
airbag cover or change the stiffness or strength of the material
so that the airbag cannot deploy and protect properly.
When cleaning the horn pad and instrument panel, use only a
soft, dry cloth or a cloth moistened with plain water.
Cleaning the safety belts

WARNING
Items stored between the safety belt buckle and the center con-
sole can cause safety belt buckle to send the wrong infor-
mation to the airbag control unit and prevent the Advanced Air-
bag System from working properly.
Always make sure that nothing can interfere with the safety
belt buckles and that they are not obstructed.
WARNING
Improper care and servicing, and improper modification and
repair work, can increase the risk of personal injury and death
by preventing an airbag from deploying when needed or de-
ploying an airbag unexpectedly:
Never repair, adjust, or change any parts of the airbag sys-
tem.
All work on the airbag system, steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seats or electrical system (including the installation
of audio equipment, mobile telephones and CB radios, etc.)
should be performed by authorized Volkswagen dealers or au-
thorized Volkswagen Service Facilities. They have the neces-
sary manuals, training, and special equipment.
The airbag system can be activated only once. After an air-
bag has inflated, it must be replaced.
Use only original equipment airbags approved by
Volkswagen. Have them installed by a trained technician who
has the necessary tools and diagnostic equipment to properly
replace any airbag in your vehicle and assure system effective-
ness in a crash.
Never permit salvaged or recycled airbags to be installed in
your vehicle.
