Handling wheels and tyres
Fig. 235 Diagram showing how to swap wheels.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The wheels and tyres approved by Volkswagen have been carefully selected.
Rotating wheels front to rear
Regularly rotating the wheels as shown in the illustration ⇒ Fig. 235 is recommended to help
ensure that tyres wear evenly. All the tyres will then last for about the same time.
Volkswagen recommends having the wheels changed by a qualified workshop.
Avoiding damage to the rims and tyres
•Always drive over kerbs slowly and at a right angle.
•Check the tyre pressure regularly.
•Never exceed the top speed and load permitted for the tyres that are fitted ⇒ Tyre lettering and 
tyre type.
•Damaged or worn tyres must be replaced immediately ⇒ Tyre damage.
•Protect the wheels from contact with corrosive substances, including oils, lubricants, fuel and
brake fluid ⇒.
•Replace missing dust caps immediately.
Tyres that are older than 6 years
Tyres age through physical and chemical processes that can impair their function. Tyres that have
been stored unused for an extended period of time age quicker than tyres that are used all the time.
New tyres or tyres which are old, worn down or damaged cannot provide full levels of
vehicle control and braking power.
•Incorrect handling of wheels and tyres can reduce vehicle safety and cause accidents
and serious injuries.
•All four wheels must be fitted with radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling
circumferenceyfDQGWKHVDPHWUHDG.
•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.
•Check tyre pressures regularly when the tyres are cold, and always keep to the
specified value. If the tyre pressure is too low, it is possible that the tyre temperature
will increase to such an extent when driving that the tread peels off and the tyre bursts.
•Never drive with worn tyres or tyres that are damaged (cuts, cracks or blistersyf'ULYLQJ
with tyres in this condition can result in blown tyres, accidents and serious injuries.
Worn or damaged tyres must be replaced as soon as possible.
•Never exceed the top speed and load permitted for the fitted tyres.
•The effectiveness of the driver assist systems and brake support systems depends on
the tyre grip.
•If you notice unusual vibrations or if the vehicle pulls to one side when driving, stop
the car immediately and check the wheels and tyres for damage.
•In order to reduce the risk of losing control of the vehicle, and the risk of accident and
serious injury, never loosen the bolts on wheel rims with bolted on wheel rim rings.
•Do not use wheels or tyres if you do not know their history. Used wheels and tyres
could be damaged, even if the damage is not visible.
•Even if they have not been used, old tyres can suddenly lose pressure or burst,
especially at high speeds, and thus cause accidents and serious injuries. Avoid using
tyres that are more than six years old. If you have no alternative, drive slowly and with
extra care at all times.

Saving the service operations performed (digital service scheduleyf
Each service record is stored by your Volkswagen dealership and qualified workshop in a central
system. This transparent documentation of the service history allows the service operations
performed to be reproduced at any time. Each time you have your vehicle serviced, Volkswagen
recommends asking for a printed service record, which contains all service work stored in the
system.
With every service, the printout of the previous service record is replaced by a current printout.
The digital service schedule is not available in some markets. In this case, your Volkswagen
dealership will inform you about the documentation process for service work.
Service work
The following information is documented in the digital service schedule by your Volkswagen
dealership or qualified workshop:
•When which service was carried out.
•Whether any repairs are recommended, such as replacement of the brake pads in the near
future.
•Whether you had any special requests before or during the maintenance work (your service
advisor will note these on the orderyf.
•Which components or service fluids were changed.
•When your next service is scheduled for.
The LongLife mobility guarantee is valid until the next inspection is due. Documentation takes place
at every due inspection.
The type and scope of service work may differ from vehicle to vehicle. Information on specific work
for your vehicle can be requested from a qualified workshop.
Regular servicing of your vehicle not only maintains its value, it also ensures that your
vehicle remains roadworthy and in working order. You should therefore have your vehicle serviced
according to the Volkswagen guidelines.
Fixed service or flexible service

Features of the flexible service
With the flexible service, you need to have an oil change service carried out only if your vehicle
requires one. To determine this point in time, individual operating conditions and personal driving
style are taken into account. An important part of the flexible service is the use of LongLife engine
oil instead of conventional engine oil.
Note the information on engine oil specifications according to VW standards ⇒ Engine oil.
If you do not wish to have the flexible service, you can opt for the fixed service instead.
However, a fixed service can affect your service costs. Your service advisor will be pleased to
advise you.
Service interval display
Scheduled services at Volkswagen are displayed in the service interval display in the instrument
cluster ⇒ Service interval display or in the Vehicle settings menu in the Infotainment system
⇒ Operation and display in the Infotainment system. The service interval display informs you about
the scheduled services which include an oil change and also about scheduled services which
include an inspection. When the respective service is due, additional work that is due can also be
carried out, e.g. changing brake fluid and spark plugs.
Information is stated for vehicles used under normal operating conditions.
Whichever comes first.
Information on operating conditions
The service intervals and service content are always for vehicles used under normal operating
conditions.
If the vehicle is operated under severe conditions, some work will have to be performed before the
next service is due or at shorter intervals than those specified.
Severe operating conditions are, for example:
•Fuels containing sulphur,
•Regular short trips,
•Long periods of engine idling (taxis for exampleyf,
•Operation in regions with high dust levels,
•Regular trailer towing ⇒ Trailer towing,
•A high percentage of stop-and-go traffic, as is typical in city driving and
•Driving mainly in winter conditions.
This applies particularly to the following components:
•Dust and pollen filter
•Air filter
•Toothed belt
•Diesel particulate filter
•Engine oil

Vehicle care
Notes on vehicle care
Regular and expert care helps to maintain the value of the vehicle.
Leaving stains, dirt and other deposits on the surface of vehicle components and cloth seat covers
for a long time can make it difficult to clean and treat them. Stains, dirt and deposits may become
impossible to remove, particularly if left for a long time.
For proper cleaning and care, Volkswagen recommends using Genuine care products that have
been matched to your vehicle. Consult a qualified workshop if you have any specific questions or if
vehicle parts are not listed.
1yf
Incorrect care and cleaning of vehicle parts can impair the safety features of the vehicle
and cause serious injury.
•Vehicle parts must be cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions.
•Always use approved or recommended cleaning products.
•Do not use solvent-based cleaning products. Solvents can cause irreparable damage
to the airbag modules.
•Protect your hands and arms against parts with sharp edges, e.g. when cleaning the
underbody or the insides of the wheel housings.
WARNING
Dirty, misted or iced over windows reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents and
severe injuries. This could impair the safety equipment of the vehicle.
•Only drive when you have a clear view through all windows.
•Do not treat the windscreen with water-repellent window coating agents. In
unfavourable conditions, they can cause increased dazzle.
