2015 VOLKSWAGEN CC TPMS

If the tire pressure is too low, the relevant tires and the respective
readings are highlighted in yellow.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked month-
ly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-
inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indi-
cator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminat-
ed. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-
tions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

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.

After changing a wheel, have the wheel bolt tightening torque
checked with an accurate torque wrench.
After changing a wheel or tire, reset the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System ⇒  Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
