Tread depth
In most countries, the minimum tread depth required by law is 1.6 mm (measured in the tread
grooves next to the tread wear indicators); observe any differing country-specific regulations. The
tyres should have the same tread depth, at the minimum on each axle
Observe any country-specific legal requirements relating to the permissible minimum tread depths

If you use V-rated winter tyres, the speed limits and required tyre pressure are determined by the
engine size. In this case, always ask a Volkswagen dealership about the maximum permitted speed
and required tyre pressure.
All-wheel drive (4MOTION)
Thanks to its all-wheel drive, the vehicle has good traction in winter conditions, even with the
standard tyres. Nevertheless, Volkswagen still recommends that winter tyres or all-year tyres should
be fitted on all four wheels in winter, above all because this will give improved braking efficiency.

If your vehicle has a flat tyre, park the vehicle on a firm and level surface at a safe distance from
moving traffic.

Check after driving for 10 minutes
The breakdown set can be used to temporarily and reliably seal any tyre damage caused by foreign
bodies or punctures (up to approx. 4 mm in diameter). Do not remove foreign objects (e.g. screws or
nails) from the tyre!
Once the sealant has been added to the tyre, the tyre pressure must be checked and adjusted again
after approximately 10 minutes of driving.
Seek expert assistance if more than one of the vehicle's tyres is damaged. The breakdown set is
designed to fill only one tyre.
Only use the breakdown set when the vehicle has been safely parked and you are familiar with the
work and safety precautions needed. Seek expert assistance if this is not the case.
The tyre sealant must not be used:
