balanced again.
Incorrect wheel alignment impairs driving safety and increases tyre wear. The running gear should
be checked by a qualified workshop if tyres show excessive wear.

WARNING
If you notice unusual vibration or the car pulling to one side while the vehicle is in motion, this may
indicate that one of the tyres is damaged.

Check the tyres and wheel rims for damage.

Tyre lettering and tyre type

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings

(example)
Meaning
Product name Individual tyre designation of the manufacturer.
DOT The tyre complies with the legal requirements of
the USA Department of Transportation,
responsible for tyre safety standards.
JHCO CHWS 2213 Tyre identification number (a) may be only
on the inner side of the wheel) and date of

e.g. tyre identification number and manufacturing date.
Any additional numbers and letters are internal codes used by the tyre manufacturer or country-
specific identifiers.
Low-profile tyres
Low-profile tyres have a wider tread surface, larger rim diameter and lower side walls than
conventional wheel/tyre combinations -profile tyres can improve the vehicle's handling
and precision. They may however result in a less comfortable ride on poor road surfaces and tracks.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
An arrow on the tyre sidewall indicates the direction of rotation on tyres with directional tread
pattern. The direction of rotation must be observed in all cases. This guarantees the best possible
running characteristics.
If, however, the tyre is fitted in the opposite direction to the tread pattern, you must take more care
when driving as the tyre is now no longer being used according to its designation. The tyre must be
replaced as quickly as possible or be fitted with the tread in the correct direction.
Asymmetrical tyres
Asymmetrical tyres take into account the differing behaviour of the inner and outer areas of the
tread pattern. The sidewalls of asymmetrical tyres are marked to indicate "inside" or "outside".
Make sure that you observe the correct tyre positioning on the wheel rim.
Tyre load
The load index indicates how many kilograms can be loaded onto an individual tyre (tyre load).

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.
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.

The improved driving characteristics afforded by the winter tyres in winter conditions should not
encourage you to take any risks.

On icy or snow-covered roads, snow chains will improve traction and braking response.

Volkswagen recommends that you ask your Volkswagen dealership for information about
appropriate wheel, tyre and snow chain sizes.
If possible, use snow chains with fine-pitch links which do not protrude more than 13.5 mm,
including the tensioner.
Remove centre wheel trims and rim trim rings before fitting snow chains
