Electronic steering column lock 
The steering column is locked if the vehicle is not moving and the vehicle key is removed from the 
ignition switch. The electronic steering column will not lock if the vehicle is still moving for longer than 
10 seconds after the vehicle key was removed. 
Power steering 
Power steering automatically adjusts to driving speed, steering torque, and the steering angle of the 
wheels. Power steering works only when the engine is running. 
If power steering is reduced or lost completely, it will be much harder to steer and control the vehicle. 
Counter-steering assistance 
Counter-steering assistance is part of Electronic Stability Control (ESC). This feature makes it easier 
for the driver to control the vehicle in difficult situations. For example, if you have to brake hard on a 
surface that provides uneven traction, the vehicle could pull to the right or left. ESC detects this 
situation and helps the driver counter-steer with additional steering power ⇒ . 
  WARNING 
The counter-steering assistance in ESC can do no more than help the driver steer in difficult 
situations. The driver must still control the vehicle. The vehicle does not steer by itself with 
this feature!  
  NOTICE 
If the ignition is off, the steering column lock will engage and the vehicle cannot be steered. 
For this reason, you must leave the ignition on when going through an automatic car wash, for 
example, so that the wheels will still steer.

Tires and wheel rims approved by Volkswagen have been matched precisely to your vehicle model 
and contribute considerably to good handling and safe vehicle performance. 
Tightening torque 
Wheel bolts must always be installed with the correct tightening torque . The required tightening 
torque for your vehicle's wheel bolts is 88 ft-lbs (120 Nm). After changing a wheel, the bolt torque 
must be checked as soon as possible with an accurate torque wrench. See an authorized Volkswagen 
dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. 
Wheel rims with bolted rim rings 
Wheel rims with bolted rim rings have several parts. The parts are bolted together with special screws 
in a special process. This helps to ensure that they will work properly, prevent leaks, run true and 
safely. Damaged wheel rims must be replaced, and you must never take them apart or try to repair 
them yourself. Have an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility 
repair them for you ⇒ . 
Wheel rims with bolted decorative covers 
Light-alloy wheels may have interchangeable decorative covers attached to the rim with self-locking 
screws. If you want to replace damaged wheel covers, contact your authorized Volkswagen dealer or 
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. 
  WARNING 
Using improper or damaged wheel rims can affect driving safety, cause accidents and severe 
personal injury. 
 x Use only wheel rims approved for the vehicle. 
 x Regularly check wheel rims for damage and replace them if necessary.  
  WARNING 
Improper loosening and tightening of the bolts on wheel rims with bolted rim rings can cause 
accidents and severe personal injury. 
 x Never loosen bolted connections on wheel rims with bolted rim rings. 
 x Have all work on wheel rims with bolted rim rings performed by an authorized Volkswagen 
dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
