amage.
If the tyre pressure is too low, this will increase fuel consumption and tyre wear.
When new tyres are driven at high speeds for the first time, they can expand slightly and trigger a
one-off pressure warning.
Old tyres should be replaced only by tyres that have been approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle
type.
Do not rely solely on the tyre monitoring system. Check your tyres regularly to ensure that they are
properly inflated and have no signs of damage, such as punctures, cuts, cracks, and blisters. Remove
any objects that become embedded in the tyre tread but have not penetrated into the body of the
tyre itself.
Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Functional description
The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator uses data from the ABS sensors and other functions to compare the
speed of rotation and the rolling circumference of the individual wheels.
The rolling circumference can change:

of a sporty driving style, when driving on snow-covered or icy roads or unpaved roads or when
driving with snow chains.

Troubleshooting
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 be re-synchronised only after this has been done.

specifications
Modifications and repairs to the front bumper, doors, front seats, headliner or the bodywork should
be carried out only by a qualified workshop. Airbag system components and sensors might be fitted
on these vehicle components.
If you work on the airbag system or remove and install parts of the system when performing other
repair work, parts of the airbag system may be damaged. The consequence may be that, in the event
of an accident, the airbag inflates incorrectly or does not inflate at all.
Regulations must be observed to ensure that the effectiveness of the airbags is not reduced and that
removed parts do not cause any injuries or environmental pollution. Qualified workshops are
familiar with these regulations.
Any modifications to the vehicle's suspension could prevent the airbag system from working
properly during a collision. For example, using wheel rim/tyre combinations that have not been
approved by Volkswagen, lowering the suspension or making modifications to the suspension rate
including work on the springs, struts and shock absorbers etc., could change the forces that are
measured by the airbag sensors and sent to the electronic control unit. Some changes to the
suspension could cause the forces measured by the sensors to increase, for example. This can lead
to the airbag system being triggered in collision scenarios where it normally would not be triggered if
modifications to the suspension had not been made. Other modifications can cause the forces
measured by the sensors to decrease, therefore preventing the airbag system from being triggered
when it should have been.
WARNING
Incorrect repairs and modifications can cause malfunctions and damage to the vehicle and impair
the effectiveness of the airbag system. This can result in accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.

WARNING
Modifications to the vehicle's suspension, including the use of unsuitable tyre/rim combinations, can
cause the airbag system to function differently and increase the risk of serious or fatal injuries in the
event of an accident.
