Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ Types of tyre monitoring system
→ Indicator lamp for the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator
→ Tyre Pressure Monitoring System indicator lamp
→ Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator
→ Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Tyre monitoring systems warn the driver
about tyre pressures that are too low.
Under-inflated tyres 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 only be replaced 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.
Types of tyre monitoring system
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →
Introduction
There are 2 different tyre monitoring systems available for this vehicle. Their differing features are described below:
Wheels and tyres
Tyre monitoring system
The intelligent tyre monitoring technology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Incorrect
handling of the wheels and tyres can lead to a sudden loss of pressure in the tyres, tread separation and even tyre blow-out.
Check tyre pressures regularly and always maintain the specified value → Information about wheels and tyres . If the tyre pressure is too
low, it is possible that the tyre temperature will increase to such an extent that the tread peels off and the tyre bursts.
Always maintain the correct cold tyre pressure as specified on the label → Information about wheels and tyres .
Check tyre inflation pressure regularly when the tyres are cold. Adjust tyre pressure in the cold tyre to the recommended tyre pressure for
the tyres installed on your vehicle as necessary
→ Information about wheels and tyres .
Check your tyres regularly for signs of wear or damage.
Never exceed the top speed and load permitted for the fitted tyres.
WARNING
Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator
– Monitoring of the various parameters (for example rolling circumference) of all wheels using ABS sensors (indirect measurement).
– Indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster display and text message in the instrument cluster display.
– Setting the system via menus in the infotainment system
→ Operation and display in the infotainment system .
– Operating the menu to update the system if the tyre pressure has been altered.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
– Monitoring tyre pressure by means of pressure sensors on each tyre valve (direct measurement). Tyre valve made of metal.
– Indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster display and graphical display as well as text message in the instrument cluster.
– Setting the system via menus in the infotainment system
→ Operation and display in the infotainment system .
