•Open the Vehicle settings menu in the Infotainment system.
•Touch the Tyres function button.
•Touch the SET function button.
•When all four tyre pressures correspond to the required values, touch the Confirm function
button.
After an extended driving time with driving at different speeds, the system will automatically learn
the new values and monitor them.
•If the tyre pressures have been changed.
•If one or more wheels have been changed.
•If the wheels have been swapped round, e.g. from front to rear ⇒ Rotating wheels front to rear.
The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator stops working if there is a fault in the ESC or ABS ⇒ Brake 
support systems.
After a warning about the tyre pressure being too low, switch the ignition off and then back
on again. The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator can only then be re-synchronised.

The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMSyfPRQLWRUVWKHW\UHSUHVVXUHRIWKHIRXUZKHHOVZKLOH
the vehicle is in motion using pressure sensors on the tyres. The system warns the driver in the
event of a pressure loss.
Display of tyre pressures on the instrument cluster
Open the menu Vehicle status in the instrument cluster display ⇒ Instrument cluster. The vehicle
is displayed with the target and actual pressures of all the wheels ⇒ Fig. 234.
When the ignition is switched on, the last measured tyre pressures will be displayed first; these
values will be updated when the journey is started. If the tyre pressure is too low, the respective
actual values and the affected tyres will be marked ⇒ Fig. 234.
If the tyres are in rest state, the sensors will not transmit any tyre pressures. This stops the sensor
batteries discharging.
If no tyre pressures are transmitted, the last received values are shown in grey.
Switching the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System on and off
Observe any country-specific legal requirements for the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
If a set of tyres is fitted to the vehicle where the tyres either do not have wheel sensors or have
wheel sensors that are not compatible with the vehicle, the indicator lamp will flash for
approximately one minute and then light up steadily. The tyre pressures will not be monitored. The
system cannot be switched off.
Adjusting the tyre pressure
Following any relevant change in the vehicle load, the tyre pressure must be checked and altered
as necessary. The tyre pressures recommended for the vehicle are on a sticker on the driver door
pillar or on the inside of the tank flap ⇒ Tyre pressure.

There may be differences between readings on the pressure gauge when filling the tyres and the
values determined by the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
is more precise.
Selecting target pressures for partial or full vehicle load
The driver must select the appropriate target pressure depending on the vehicle load level.
•Switch on the ignition.
•Press the button or function button, depending on version ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.
•Touch the Vehicle status function button.
•Touch the Settings function button.
•Select the Tyres menu option.
•Select the load level.
Selecting the tyre type
While the dimensions of the tyres are changed, it may be necessary to adjust the target pressure
for the new tyres. If no adjustment is necessary, the selection menu will not be available.
•Switch on the ignition.
•Press the button or function button, depending on version ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.
•Touch the Vehicle status function button.
•Touch the Settings function button.
•Select the Tyres menu option.
•Select the appropriate tyre size.
If the tyre sizes are fitted that do not correspond to the factory-specified sizes, the corresponding
target tyre pressures can be entered by a Volkswagen dealer.
Spare wheel or temporary spare wheel
The tyre pressure of the spare wheel or the temporary spare wheel in the luggage compartment is
not monitored.
Depends on the vehicle.
Troubleshooting for the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Lit up
•Do not drive on!
•Check and adjust all tyre pressures ⇒ Tyre pressure.
•The damaged tyre should be replaced.
•Re-synchronise the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator ⇒ Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator.
•If the problem persists, seek expert assistance.
Flashes
•Do not drive on!
•Switch the ignition off and then back on again.
•Re-synchronise the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator ⇒ Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator.
•If the problem persists, seek expert assistance.
•The pressure sensors are secured to special aluminium valves that are screwed rigidly
in place. When inflating the tyres and checking the pressure, do not bend the valves
into position.
•Missing valve caps could lead to damage to the valve and the sensors. Always make
sure that all valve caps are fully screwed on. Do not use metal valve caps.
•Do not use convenience valve caps as they do not form a proper seal. This can cause
damage to the sensors.

Maximum load and speed range for tyres
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Vehicles in the EU and the so-called EU user states are issued an EC Certificate of Conformity.
This details the size, diameter and speed range of all tyres approved by Volkswagen for the
relevant vehicle type.
The type plate shows whether there is an EC certificate of conformity for this particular vehicle. The
type plate can be seen on the lower part of the door pillar when the door is open ⇒ Technical data.
•If the type plate has a row marked Permit then the vehicle does have an EC certificate of
conformity.
•If there is no type plate, or no row marked Permit the vehicle does not have an EC certificate of
conformity.
Winter tyres
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Winter or all-year tyres improve the handling and brake response in winter conditions. Volkswagen
recommends that winter tyres be fitted to the vehicle at temperatures below +7°C (+45°FyfRULQ
winter road conditions.
Winter tyres and all-year tyres lose a large degree of their effectiveness for winter conditions when
the tread is worn down to a depth of 4 mm.
The following applies when using winter tyres:
•Observe any country-specific legal requirements.
•Use winter tyres on all four wheels at the same time.
•Only use in winter road conditions.
•Only use the sizes of tyre that have been approved for the vehicle.
•Winter tyres must have the same belt type, size and the same tread pattern.
•Observe the maximum speed permitted by the speed index ⇒.
Speed limitation
Winter tyres have a speed limit depending on the speed index ⇒ Tyre lettering and tyre type.
Speed warning settings can be made and adjusted in the Infotainment system using the
button and the and Tyres function buttons ⇒ Operation and display in the 
Infotainment system.
If you use V-rated tyres, the speed limits and required tyre pressure will be determined by the
engine size. You must ask a Volkswagen dealership about the maximum permitted speed and
required tyre pressure.
Four-wheel drive (4MOTIONyf
Thanks to its four-wheel drive, the vehicle will have plenty of 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 4 wheels in winter, mainly because this will give a better braking response.
Observe information on snow chains⇒ Snow chains.
Summer tyres should be fitted in good time at the end of the winter. The vehicle handling is
better if summer tyres are fitted at temperatures above +7°C (+45°Fyf7KH\DUHTXLHWHUGRQRWZHDU
so quickly and reduce fuel consumption.
In vehicles with a Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator, the system has to re-synchronise after
wheels are changed ⇒ Tyre monitoring systems.
Volkswagen dealerships can provide details on permissible winter tyre sizes.
The improved winter driving characteristics afforded by the winter tyres should not
encourage you to take any risks.
•Adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
•Never exceed the top speed and load permitted for the winter tyres that are fitted.
