Tire labeling
(example)
Meaning
Consumer information regarding comparison to specified base
tires (standardized test procedure) ⇒  ⇒ page 284:
TREADWEAR 220 Relative service life expectancy of the tire
referenced to a U.S.-specific standard test.
TRACTION A Traction rating under wet conditions (AA, A,
B or C).
TEMPERATURE A Temperature stability of the tire at increased
test bench speeds (A, B or C).
Additional numbers found on the tire could either be tire manu-
facturer internal labels or country-specific labels (such as for
Brazil and China).

Unidirectional tires
Unidirectional tires are designed to rotate only in one direction. Unidi-
rectional tires have arrows on the sidewalls that show the direction of
rotation. Make sure you mount the tire so that it rotates in the proper
direction. The tire's performance with regard to hydroplaning, traction,
noise, and wear is worse if it is not mounted in the proper direction of
rotation.
If you have to mount a tire opposite to its proper direction of rotation,
you must drive more carefully, since the tire is no longer being used
as designed. This is particularly important on wet roads. You must
replace or remount the tire as soon as possible in order to restore the
correct direction of rotation.
Load rating code
The load index indicates the maximum permissible load per individual
tire in pounds (kilograms).
91 1356 lbs (615 kg)
92 1388 lbs (630 kg)
93 1433 lbs (650 kg)
95 1521 lbs (690 kg)

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit:
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there
will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-
750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will
be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this Manual to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and luggage capacity of
your vehicle.
Check the tire sidewall to determine the load index specified for
the tire.

UTQG classification

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline, please go to the official Web site,
http://www.toptiergas.com.
The gasoline grades most commonly sold in the United States and
Canada have the following octane ratings, which can usually be found
on the filler pump:
Premium grade: 91 to 96 AKI
Regular grade: 87 to 90 AKI
Unleaded gasoline
Unleaded gasoline is available throughout the USA and Canada.
Volkswagen recommends that you do not take your vehicle to places
where unleaded gasoline may not be available.
Gasoline containing alcohol or MTBE
You may use unleaded gasoline blended with alcohol or MTBE (me-
thyl tertiary butyl ether), commonly referred to as oxygenated fuels, if
the blended mixture meets the following criteria:
Blends of gasoline and methanol (wood alcohol or methyl alco-
hol):
Anti-Knock Index (AKI) must be 87 or higher.
Blend must contain no more than 3% methanol.
Blend must contain more than 2% co-solvents.
Blends of gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol or ethyl alcohol):
Anti-Knock Index (AKI) must be 87 or higher.
Blend must contain no more than 15% ethanol.
Blends of gasoline and MTBE:
Anti-Knock Index (AKI) must be 87 or higher.
Blend must contain no more than 15% MTBE.
Seasonally adjusted gasoline
Many fuels are blended especially for winter or summer conditions.
When seasons change, Volkswagen suggests that you buy fuel at
busy stations where the seasonal adjustment is more likely to be
made earlier.
