2017 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG ESP

Key to ⇒ fig. 116
Position number Meaning
(5) No data received, right rear tire.
(6) Benchmark pressure, rear tires.

If the tire pressure is too low, the relevant tires and the respective readings are shown in yellow
⇒ fig. 116.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle plac-ard 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 underinflated. 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. Underinflation 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 maintenance, and it is the driver's respon-sibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator 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 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated. 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 malfunctions 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 malfunction 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.
Collapsible spare tire
The collapsible spare tire has no tire pressure sensor. When the collapsible spare tire is mounted on the vehicle, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) indicator light will flash in the instrument cluster display. The TPMS continues to monitor 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 battery life. When the ignition is switched on, the sensors transmit signals to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

WARNING
Never let a passenger, especially a child, ride on the center armrest. Improper seating posi-tion can increase the risk of serious personal injury in a crash.
There may be a 12 Volt-socket, a MEDIA-IN multimedia jack, or an AUX-IN-jack in the front center armrest stowage compartment.
x The MEDIA-IN multimedia jack lets you connect external devices to the Infotainment System ⇒  MEDIA-IN multimedia jack.

Safety information on Infotainment System
WARNING
Driving on today's roads demands the full attention of the driver at all times. Driver distrac-tion causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!
x Never let yourself be distracted when setting, adjusting, or using the Infotainment System, when using your mobile phone, or when operating the mobile phone controls.
x Always drive attentively and responsibly. Use the Infotainment system, your mobile phone, and the mobile phone controls only if road, traffic, and weather conditions permit and you will not be distracted from your driving.
x If you cannot use the Infotainment System, your mobile phone, or the mobile phone con-trols safely while driving, wait until later or find a safe spot where you can pull off the road and park the vehicle.
x Always set sound volume levels so that you can clearly hear horns, sirens, and other warning sounds outside the vehicle.
x Setting the sound volume too high may damage your hearing. This applies even if you are exposed to high volumes for short periods only.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly get louder change when you switch media source or connect a new audio source.
x Always lower the base volume before switching media source or connecting a new audio source.
WARNING
Driving recommendations and traffic symbols displayed by the navigation system may differ from the current traffic situation.
x Traffic signs and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and displays provided by the navigation system.
x Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility condi-tions.
WARNING
External devices that are loose in the vehicle or not properly secured could be thrown around the interior and cause injuries during a sudden driving or braking maneuver, or in a crash.
x Never put or attach an external device on a door, on the windshield or above or near to the areas marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the instrument panel and the seat backrests, or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. External devices could cause serious injury in an accident, especially when the airbags inflate.

WARNING
Using the Infotainment System while the vehicle is in motion can take your attention off the road and lead to accidents and serious personal injuries.
x Always drive attentively and responsibly.
x Always set volume levels so that you can clearly hear horns, sirens, and other warning sounds outside the vehicle.
x Setting the volume too high may damage your hearing. This also applies if you are ex-posed to high volumes for short periods only.
WARNING
The volume may suddenly get louder when you switch media source or connect a new audio source.
x Always lower the volume before switching media source or connecting a new audio source.
NOTICE
Excessively loud or distorted playback can damage the vehicle speakers.
If the base volume on the Infotainment System has been considerably increased to play a certain audio source, lower the volume again before switching to another audio source.
