Driving through water on roads
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Please follow these rules to help prevent damage to your vehicle when driving through water, for
example if the road is flooded:
•Check the depth of the water before driving through it. The water level must be no higher than
the lower edge of the vehicle body ⇒.
•Do not drive faster than walking speed.
•Never stop the vehicle, reverse or switch off the engine while in water.
•Oncoming vehicles create waves that could increase the water level for your vehicle to such an
extent that it is not safe to drive through the water.
•When driving through water, always switch off the start/stop system ⇒ Pull-away assist
systems.

•Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts ⇒ Accessories, modifications, repairs
and renewal of parts
Incorrectly attaching the battery and using incorrect vehicle batteries can cause short circuits,
fire and serious injuries.
•Always use maintenance-free and leak-proof batteries that have the same properties,
specifications and dimensions as the factory-fitted vehicle battery.
WARNING
A highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the vehicle battery is being charged.
•Vehicle batteries should only be charged in well-ventilated spaces.
•Never charge a vehicle battery once it has been frozen. Discharged vehicle batteries can
even freeze at temperatures of around 0°C (+32°F).
•A vehicle battery must be replaced if it has been frozen.
•Incorrectly connected cables can cause a short circuit. First connect the positive cable and
then the negative cable.
WARNING
•Never make or break connections between vehicle batteries if the ignition is switched on or
the engine is running. Never use a vehicle battery that does not correspond with the
vehicle's specifications. The vehicle's electrical system or electronic components could be
damaged, which could lead to electrical faults, for example in the start/stop system.
•Never connect equipment that provides electricity, such as solar panels or a battery
charger, to the 12-volt socket or to the cigarette lighter to charge the vehicle battery. This
can damage the vehicle electrical system.
NOTICE

•The tread depth of new tyres may vary, according to the type and make of tyre and the tread
pattern.
Replacing tyres
•Tyres should be replaced at least in pairs and not individually (i.e. both front tyres or both rear
tyres together) ⇒.
•Old tyres should only be replaced by tyres that have been approved by Volkswagen for the
vehicle type. Ensure that the tyres used are correct in respect of size, diameter, load-carrying
capacity and maximum speed.
•Never use tyres with an effective size that is larger than Volkswagen-approved tyres. Larger
wheels could rub against the body or other parts of the vehicle.
Despite identical size details, the actual size of the various tyre makes may vary from these
specified dimensions, or the tyre contours may vary considerably.
Volkswagen-approved tyres are guaranteed to have the dimensions that are suitable for the
vehicle. The salesperson will have to provide a certificate from the tyre manufacturer for other tyre
makes to prove that the tyre is also suitable for the vehicle. This certificate must be stored in a safe
place in the vehicle.
Tyre pressure
Fig. 131 On the inside of the tank flap: tyre inflation pressure label
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The correct tyre pressure for factory-fitted tyres is shown on a sticker and applies to all-season,
summer and winter tyres. The sticker ⇒ Fig. 131 is located either on the driver door column or
inside the tank flap.
If the tyre pressure is too low or too high, the tyres will wear prematurely and the vehicle will not
handle well ⇒. The correct tyre pressure is particularly important at high speeds. Incorrect tyre
pressure causes premature wear and can cause a tyre burst.
The pressure should therefore be checked at least once a month and before starting a journey.
The given tyre pressure applies to cold tyres. Tyre pressure is always higher in warm tyres than it
is in cold tyres.
For this reason, never reduce the pressure in warm tyres to adjust the tyre pressure. This would
result in low tyre pressures that could cause the tyre to burst suddenly.
Checking tyre pressure
Only check the tyre pressure when the tyres have not been driven for more than a few kilometres at
low speed in the last three hours.
•The tyre pressures should be checked regularly and only when the tyres are cold. Always check
all the tyres, including the spare wheel if fitted. The tyre pressure should be checked more
frequently in colder regions, but only if the vehicle has not been moved beforehand. The tyre
pressure tester must function correctly.
•The tyre pressures must be altered to suit the vehicle load.
New tyres will have to be run in as they will initially have reduced grip and braking effect.
•Drive particularly carefully for the first 600 km in order to prevent accidents and serious
injury.
WARNING
Wheels must have the necessary freedom of operation. If the wheels do not have the
necessary freedom of operation, the tyre could rub on parts of the running gear, the vehicle
body and the brake lines. This can lead to a fault in the brake system and to tread separation
and thus to a tyre bursting.
•The actual tyre size must not exceed the tyre dimensions of manufacturers approved by
Volkswagen and must not rub on any vehicle body parts.
WARNING

•You will need to depress the brake pedal more vigorously than normal as the brake servo is not
working. Do not drive too close to the towing vehicle.
•Read and comply with the information and notes in the owner's manual of the towing vehicle.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
•Accelerate carefully and gently. Avoid any sudden driving manoeuvres.
•Brake earlier than normal by pressing lightly on the brake pedal.
•Read and comply with any information and notes in the owner's manual of the towed vehicle.
