1 General notes on wheels and tyres
(passenger cars)
This information is intended to help you form an opinion as precise
and accurate as possible in cases of tyre damage and other com‐
plaints.
In this chapter you will learn more about tyres and wheels/rims.
Tyres are high-tech products that are especially adapted to the
requirements of modern vehicles.
As with all highly developed technical products, tyres require
proper care, maintenance and service. This is essential to ensure
safety, performance and comfort for the entire service life of the
tyre.
Tyres are constantly being further developed. Quality tyres are
the result of modern design methods and production processes,
as well as continuous quality checks. All tyres that are recom‐
mended by VW have been tested by the technical development
department and have been designed specifically for each model
in collaboration with the tyre manufacturers.
We therefore recommend fitting only the recommended tyre
makes when renewing tyres.
Vehicle safety is the top priority. With regard to the various oper‐
ating conditions such as
• differing speed ranges,
• winter and summer use and
• wet and dry roads, agen

The manufacturer is issued with a general operating permit (GTA
in accordance with § 20 StVZO (German road traffic and licensing
regulations) and EU operating permit) for the overall vehicle with
all parts for specific conversions.

genuine disc-type wheels on a vehicle to which they have not
been allocated is not permissible.
The list of possible conversions deals with combinations that meet
the requirements of VOLKSWAGEN AG with regards to road
handling and road safety. They are the result of practical trials and
are therefore recommended by VOLKSWAGEN AG.
Refer also to the new vehicle registration documents that were
issued from 01.10.2005 ⇒ page 5 .
2.2 Technical conditions for converting

wheel and tyre combinations
• The wheel and tyre combinations and conversions listed in the
tables of the individual vehicles refer exclusively to Volkswa‐
gen genuine disc-type wheels.
2. Legislative and technical conditions for converting wheel and tyre combinations 3
• Approval of wheel and tyre combinations or a change to

wheels from the accessories trade is not possible with the cer‐
tificate statement attached here.
• Tubeless radial tyres may only be fitted to rims with a safety
hump feature on the shoulder.
• Tyres with run-flat properties (reinforced side walls) may only
be used on disc-type wheels with an extended hump and on
vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring system
⇒ page 46 .
• If the wheel and tyre combinations listed are used, the asso‐
ciated tyre inflation pressures must be adhered to. The tyre
inflation pressures for summer tyres can be found on the stick‐
er on the inside of the tank flap or in the tables of the individual
vehicles.
• Sufficient clearance to the wheels and tyres at parts of the
wheel housing, suspension and braking system is assured if
the notes and specifications established in the certificate
statement are observed in all operating conditions.
• Unless otherwise stated, snow chains may only be fitted to the
drive wheels. On all-wheel drive vehicles, however, only the
front wheels may be fitted with snow chains with the exception
of the Touareg (rear wheels may also be fitted with snow
chains).

Tyres of the „80“ series (e.g. 145/80 R 13 74 S) will replace the

„82“ series (e.g. 145/82 R 13 74 S). Lawmakers have stipulated
ss
that „82“ series tyres may be replaced by „80“ series tyres without

The condition for this is that the „80“ series tyres have the same

owner; the actual number of previous owners is shown nu‐
merically
♦ Contains only a small percentage of the technical vehicle data
♦ No longer serves to document temporary vehicle deregistra‐
tion. The vehicle and body type specified under number 1 in
the old vehicle documents will not exist in the future. In the new
documents, this will be replaced by standardised EU vehicle
classes with body type
Introduction of the new registration documents will lead to barely
any changes for the vehicle operator.
Like the old certificate of registration, the registration certificate
part I (certificate of registration) must be kept in the vehicle and
submitted to responsible persons on request.
It is not necessary for the wheel and tyre combination specified
in the registration certificate part I (certificate of registration) to be
fitted. All combinations approved according to the general vehicle
type approval or EU type approval ⇒ page 6 may be fitted.
The validity of a wheel and tyre combination which deviates from
the general vehicle type approval or EU type approval must still
be verified via an entry in the registration certificate part I (certif‐
icate of registration), an installation certificate based on a part

3.2 COC document (EEC Certificate of Con‐

formity)
Manufactures of motorized vehicles must apply for an EU oper‐
ating permit for all class M1 passenger carrying vehicles.
A certificate is produced on the basis of this operating permit - the
COC (Certificate of Conformity).
This document certifies that the vehicle complies with the EU op‐
erating permit (EU type approval) and can be registered in every
EU country without an individual type approval.
The document will be issued for all vehicles that comply with the
EU operating permit.
These vehicles have an EU type plate (black sticker) in the area
of the driver's door, or in the case of older vehicles, in the engine
compartment.
The COC document has the same value as the registrationadocu‐ n AG. Volkswagen AG do

4.3 Speed ratings for tyres

The speed rating (e.g. „T“) following the size of the tyre (e.g.
185/65 R 14 86T)) indicates the maximum permitted speed
(vmax) of the tyre.
The tyres for the vehicle must be selected so that their maximum
permitted speed is greater than the maximum speed that the ve‐
hicle („based on model“) can attain.

It is permitted to use tyres with a higher speed rating. The same
applies to tyres with a higher load index.
Note
For the letter „v“, enter the maximum speed given in field „T“ of
part I or II of the registration document or under number 6 of the
vehicle documentation. This calculation is necessary because all
vehicles, for technical reasons, achieve different maximum
speeds within a legally permitted tolerance.
4.4 Undulations
Radial depressions are slight concavities in the tyre sidewall.
They run from the bead towards the shoulder of the tyre. These
parts appear in the figure ⇒ page 32 .
The cause is the accumulation of material at the joints of the tyre
components.
Undulations have no effect on:
♦ Safety,
♦ Service life,
♦ Handling or
♦ Other characteristics of the tyre.
Undulations are visible to varying extents. It is not necessary to
inspect the tyre or remove it from the rim.

driven.
Of course, tyre damage occurs only if the tyre is in contact with

the chemical for a relatively long time. If a few drops of fuel land
on a tyre during a fill up, this is of no concern.
Storing the tyres
Complete wheels
Tyres mounted on wheels can be stored flat, stacked one upon
the other. In this case, it is important to ensure that the tyres are
clean and dry. The inflation pressure should be increased to a
maximum of 3 bar.
Tyres without wheels
Tyres without wheels are best stored standing vertically. If tyres
are stacked for a long period of time, they will be pressed together
quite considerably. The tyres will then be more difficult to fit, as
they do not sit on the rim shoulders. If tyres are stored standing
vertically, it is recommended to turn them every 14 days to avoid
flat spots.
4.6 Tyre ageing

♦ Even visually flawless, new or barely used tyres with sufficient
tread depth, which are older than six years, may show signif‐
icant reduction of wet properties and winter suitability due only
to ageing.
♦ Tyre tests show that a continuous development process, the
use of new rubber compounds and modern raw materials, in
conjunction with the optimisation of tread design and tread
geometry, make it possible to continually improve tyres.
♦ Only tyres with state-of-the-art technology can meet the re‐
quirements of modern and highly developed vehicles from

Recommendation
♦ It is recommended not to use summer and winter tyres which
are older than 6 years anymore. The original properties dete‐
riorate due to the aging process. Winter tyres especially lose
their adhesion properties.
♦ When new tyres are fitted, the spare tyre may also be used if
it is in flawless condition and is not more than 6 years old. The
age of the tyre has a great influence on the high-speed capa‐
bility of the tyre. It is possible to combine a spare tyre which is
several years old with new tyres; however, this can have an
adverse influence on car handling.
♦ Tyres are constantly being further developed, which can lead,
for example, to slight changes in the rubber compound, even
if the tyres are of the same make, size and tread pattern.
♦ All VW vehicles are factory-fitted with four identical tyres and
wheels.
Front-wheel drive vehicles:
♦ For reasons of safety, tyres of the same make and with the
same tread pattern should be mounted on one axle.

Use of winter tyres
t. C rig
gh ht
pyri by
Vo
As of 01.05.2006, a change to the German road traffic regulations
co lksw
by
cted agen
(StVO) came into force which caused the following supplement Prote AG.
to be made: "The equipment in motor vehicles has to be adapted
to the weather conditions. In particular, this includes suitable tyres
and antifreeze in the windscreen washing system."
Please point out to customers that, since May 1st 2006, they are
legally obliged to adapt their vehicle's equipment, particularly the
tyres, to winter weather conditions.
For driving in winter, we recommend that the vehicle be equipped
with winter tyres in the sizes recommended in the certificate state‐
ments.
As a basic rule:
All tyre sizes listed in the vehicle documents can also be used as
winter tyres.
The handling characteristics may be affected by the use of winter
tyres and the possible change in the dimensions of the wheel and
tyre. Therefore, when using winter tyres, you must adapt your
speed to the changed handling characteristics and to the road
conditions.
To achieve the best possible handling, winter tyres must be fitted
on all wheels.
If the vehicle is equipped with rims other than the factory-fitted
rims, you must take the following into consideration when you fit
winter tyres:
♦ Wheels and wheel bolts are matched.
♦ Whenever the wheels are changed, corresponding wheel bolts
of the correct length and with the correctly shaped tapered
seats are used 1). The secure fit of the wheels and the func‐
tioning of the brakes depends this.
♦ The suitability of winter tyres with less than 4…5 mm tread
depth for winter operation is limited.

♦ Some countries require winter tyres to have a tread depth of

at least 4 mm.
♦ We recommend that winter tyres be replaced after no more
than six years. The special „winter properties“ of these tyres
decline with age, regardless of how much they are used.
Vehicles with tyre pressure control
On vehicles with tyre pressure control, the tyre inflation pressure
has to be resaved or matched when changing over between sum‐
mer and winter tyres ⇒ Workshop manual - Running gear - for
relevant model .
1) A spherical cap is the curved surface of a section of a sphere cut by a plane.
The tapered seats on the wheel bolt and in the wheel (rim) in the wheel bolt holes
are spherical caps.
Registration regulations in the Federal Republic of Germany

Only when winter tyres are in use may the top speed that a vehicle
can achieve be greater than the maximum speed specified by the
speed symbol of the tyre.
In this case, a label stating the following must be attached:
Important! Winter tyres!
Maximum speed … km/h
Note
This label must be clearly visible to the driver!

Only when winter tyres are in use may the top speed that a vehicle
can achieve be greater than the maximum speed specified by the
speed symbol of the tyre.
In this case, a label stating the following must be attached:
Important! Winter tyres!
Maximum speed … km/h
Note
This label must be clearly visible to the driver!
4.12 Reinforced and Extra Load (XL) tyres

Some tyre manufacturers have for some time replaced the des‐
ignation „Reinforced“ with the designation „Extra Load“. This
designation has long been standard in non-European countries.
Technically, there is no difference between them.
Some tyre manufacturers also use the designation „XL“ for Extra
Load tyres.
Tyres with the designation „Reinforced“ or „Extra Load (XL)“ are
of equal quality.
4.13 Snow chains

Snow chains must be fitted to driven wheels only.

On all-wheel drive vehicles, however, only the front wheels may

be fitted with snow chains with the exception of the Touareg (rear
wheels may also be fitted with snow chains).
It is not possible to use snow chains with all wheel and tyre com‐
binations. Notes on this can be found in the vehicle tables of the
certificate statement.
If no particular type of snow chain is specified, then small-link
chains may be used. These, including the chain fastener, may not
protrude more than 15 mm beyond the wheel's tread and the inner
wall.
On some models, only special, small-link chains are possible with
certain wheel and tyre combinations. Notes on this can be found
in the vehicle tables of the certificate statement.
The maximum speed permitted by law when driving with snow
chains is 50 km/h.
Snow chains should be removed when there is no snow on the
road. There is no point in having them on the wheels, as they
adversely affect the vehicle's handling. It causes unnecessary
stress on the tyres and above average wear on the chains.

5 Tyre wear/ mileage for passenger car

tyres
5.1 General
A tyre has to meet numerous requirements ⇒ page 19 .
Different types of tyres meet these requirements to varying de‐
grees.
Depending on the conditions in which the tyres are used and on
the type of vehicle, some requirements will be more important
than others.
H, V, and Z tyres for „high-performance vehicles“ are expected to
have good grip on wet and flooded roads. However, mileage per‐
formance cannot be as good for tyres of this type as it is, for
example, in the case of S or T tyres.
5.2 Requirements to be met by tyres

A - Wet braking properties
B - Driving comfort
C - Steering accuracy
D - Driving stability
E - Tyre weight
F - Life expectancy
G - Rolling resistance
H - Aquaplaning
The pie chart illustrates to what extent the tyre meets the various agen

5.3 Wear behaviour of high-speed tyres

These tyres are designed for very high speeds. When developing
these tyres, good grip in wet conditions is the main objective. The
tread compositions do not have the same wear resistance as T
and H tyres for lower speeds.
The life expectancy of high-speed tyres is therefore considerably
lower in comparable conditions of use.

5.7 Evenly worn tyres

The requirements to be met by tyres are increasing continuously.
This is caused by the following factors:
♦ greater vehicle weight
♦ high speeds
♦ high level of vehicle safety
Greater loads on the tyre will, of course, lead to an increase in
tyre wear.

Driving style has a critical effect on tyre wear. For this reason,
customer claims regarding tyre wear on evenly worn tyres are not

5.9 One-sided wear

This is often caused by driving style, but can be the result of in‐
correct wheel alignment.

Increased one-sided wear

One-sided wear, usually in conjunction with signs of scuffing on
the ribs of the tread and in the fine grooves, always occurs when
the tyres have been allowed to roll with an extreme tyre slip angle,
causing them to »rub« on the road surface.

Toe-in or positive toe

Distance between front of wheels -A- is less than distance be‐
tween rear of wheels -B- (-C- = direction of travel).
To prevent one-sided wear, care must be taken to ensure that the
wheel is set within the tolerance specified by the vehicle manu‐
facturer. The most frequent deviation of the wheel alignment is
caused by external influences, for example hard contact with the
kerbstone when parking.
By measuring the axle geometry, you can check whether the
wheel alignment is within the specified tolerances or whether it
has to be corrected.
Running gear modifications
Using „suspension-lowering kits“ and/or alloy wheels that have
not been recommended by VW may result in altered wheel posi‐
tions which deviate from the specified alignment.
Even if the axle geometry is correct with the vehicle stationary
during wheel alignment, the changed vehicle height and wheel
positions can cause the wheel suspension to move differently
during operation.
Uneven wear is then unavoidable.

5.11 Wear in middle of tyre

This wear pattern is found on the driven wheels of high-perform‐
ance vehicles that are frequently driven long distances at high
speeds.
At high speeds, centrifugal forces cause the tyre diameter to in‐
crease more in the middle of the tread than it does at the shoulder.
This causes drive forces to be transferred to the road surface from

the centre section of the tread. This is reflected in the wear pat‐
tern.
Effects of this kind can be especially pronounced on wide tyres.
It is not possible to counter this wear pattern by reducing the tyre
pressure.
WARNING
For safety reasons, the tyre pressure must not under any cir‐
cumstances be reduced below the specified tyre pressure.
A more or less even tread wear pattern can be achieved by in‐

terchanging the tyres on the driven wheels and non-driven wheels
in good time.
Increased tread wear
The typical tread wear pattern of tyres run on the driven wheels
of a high-performance vehicle.
The increased wear in the centre section of the tread results from
the extra loading associated with centrifugal forces within the tyre
and the transmission of drive forces.

5.12 Diagonal washout

Diagonal washout on a tyre
Diagonal washout runs at an angle of approx. 45° to the direction
of rotation.
It usually occurs at one point only, but can also occur at several
points around the circumference of the tyre.
Washout occurs almost exclusively on the tyres on the non-driven
wheels, in particular at the rear left. Washout occurs very often
on some models, while it poses no problem at all on other models.
The effect is intensified by high toe-in values. Toe-in values in the
region of the lower tolerance limits of the specified alignment val‐
ues improve the wear pattern.
The most pronounced diagonal washout is often found in the area
where the tyre components are joined.
Wheels with positive toe-in roll with a slip angle even straight
ahead. This leads to a diagonal stress in the contact patch or
footprint on the tyre/road surface.
This wear pattern is intensified when tyre pressure is too low. To
avoid such tread wear patterns, the toe-in values of the two rear
wheels should be identical and the specified tyre pressures ob‐
served.
If you detect washout, you should fit the wheels on the driven axle,
assuming the washout is identified at an early stage. Deeper
washout cannot be repaired.
Faulty adjustment
If a customer complains of „diagonal wear spots“, the toe adjust‐
ment must be examined. If toe-in is correct, the cause of the
diagonal washout is very probably the tyre itself.
Tyres with diagonal washout caused by incorrectly set axle ge‐ olkswagen AG

6 Tyre noise
6.1 General notes on tyre noise

Tyre noise that can be heard by the human ear is caused by vi‐
brations which are transmitted by the air from the source of the
sound to our ears.
Of interest here are the noises caused by certain characteristics
and effects while the tyres are rolling (source of the sound).
The cause of the noise is largely dependent on the combination AG. Volkswagen AG d

tyre noise. Due to their larger contact area, wider tyres will cause
more tyre noise than narrow tyres, as more air has to be displaced
and more „mass“ is agitated to create vibrations.
A wider wheel rim will also cause a tyre to have a wider contact
patch. The effect on tyre noise is thus very similar to that of a wider
tyre. Moreover, the damping characteristics of the tyre may also
be adversely affected by the wider wheel rim.
On vehicles with a front-mounted engine, tyre noise is more per‐
ceptible at the rear of the vehicle, as wind and engine noises are
not as loud there.
6.2 Saw-tooth wear

Saw-tooth wear is a stepped wear pattern on the individual tread
blocks ⇒ page 30 that can cause increased tyre noise. The saw
tooth is caused by uneven deformation of the tread blocks in the
tyre's contact patch. Saw-tooth wear is more pronounced on non-
driven wheels than on driven wheels.
6. Tyre noise 29
New tyres are more susceptible to saw-tooth wear because of the

greater elasticity of the high tread blocks. As the tread depth de‐
creases, the tread blocks become more rigid and the tendency to
wear in a saw-tooth pattern decreases.
Appearance of saw tooth
A - Tread block of a new tyre; seen in direction of motion
-arrow 1-, tread blocks are equally high in front and back.
B - Development of saw teeth; seen in the direction of rotation
-arrow 1-, tread blocks are higher in front -arrow 2- than in back.
C - Seen in the direction of rotation -arrow 1-, tread blocks show
greater wear in the front section of the „saw tooth“ -arrow 3-.
Pronounced saw-tooth wear can lead to customers complaining
about tyre noise.
Pronounced saw-tooth wear occurs under the following condi‐
tions:
♦ toe values are too high
♦ tyre pressures are incorrect
♦ tread is coarse and open
♦ tyres are fitted on the non-driven axle
♦ very fast cornering.
non-directional tyres
In the event of saw-tooth wear, the direction of rotation of the tyre
must be reversed. If saw-tooth wear is especially pronounced and
tyre noise has increased, interchange the tyres diagonally. This
will reduce the saw-tooth effect.
On front-wheel-drive vehicles, this effect is intensified by the
greater wear on the front axle.
Tyre noise will be somewhat louder immediately after the tyres
have been interchanged but will returngto a

Pulling to one side during fast acceleration

Pulling to one side during fast acceleration is, in part, due to the
basic design of vehicles with front wheel drive. Different friction
levels at the left and right wheels or possible irregularities in the
road surface (potholes) and consequently varying road adhesion
have a substantial influence on the handling characteristics. This
does not constitute a complaint which is covered by the warranty.
7.3 Remedies when vehicle pulls to one

side
Test conditions before and during the road test:
– Check all suspension components on the front and rear axles
for damage.
– Check tyre pressure and correct if necessary.
– Check the tyres for external damage. Punctures, cuts, bubbles
on the sidewalls, flat spots from braking and/or damage to the
tread.
– Ask the customer if the tyre had been damaged by a nail or
similar object and was repaired by a tyre dealer. It may be
necessary to renew such tyres.
7. Vehicle pulls to one side 33

– Check tyres for even wear and tread depth.

– Are all tyres of the same type, manufacture and tread pattern?
– If the tyres are non-directional, ensure that all DOT classifica‐
tions on the tyre face outwards. The wheels and/or tyres on
the vehicle may have already been changed around at an ear‐
lier date.
– Is the make of tyre approved by the factory as original equip‐
ment?
– Perform the road test on a road which is level, straight and
ungrooved and does not drop off to one side.
– Perform the road test with the customer under the conditions
specified above. Ask the customer to demonstrate the prob‐

8 Tyre damage
8.1 General information

As tyre damage can have serious consequences, you and the
driver should regularly check the tyres to identify any problems at
an early stage.
Damaged tyres cannot withstand driving conditions such as high
speed, long distances, sporty driving, and so on.
Damage can be caused in a number of ways:
♦ Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
♦ Assembly error when tyres were fitted on rims
♦ Damage by embedding objects
♦ Ageing
♦ Improper storage
WARNING
Whenever a safety risk cannot be ruled out, the tyre must be

renewed.

8.5 Damage caused by foreign bodies

Driving over hard, pointed objects like nails, screws and the like

This always leads to tyre damage.
Damage due to embedded foreign body
Often, the object -marking- is so securely embedded in the tyre
that it will not free itself even at higher speeds. Consequently, it
can act as a plug and seal the tyre relatively well. This results in
a gradual loss of pressure, which the driver will not notice imme‐
diately, but which can lead to sudden and complete tyre failure.

Tyres with wide, circumferential furrows near the bead

Wide, circumferential furrows near the bead -arrows- indicate that
the tyre was driven with insufficient pressure.
Driving a vehicle with insufficient tyre pressure or ignoring or not
recognising tyre damage can have serious consequences.
The tyre can no longer withstand the forces which develop when
the vehicle is driven.
The defects mentioned above severely restrict the function of the
tyre. The rubber compounds separate, which results in the partial
separation of tyre components or even its complete destruction.

Tyres with stripped profile

Such damage usually develops over a longer period of time. If an
already damaged tyre is exposed to high stress, the centrifugal
forces which occur at high speeds can tear components off the
tyre.

sufficient tyre pressure.

♦ Tyres with damaged bead cores are not seated safely and
securely on the rim. Such tyres are a safety risk!
♦ In addition, there is a risk of the partly broken bead core
breaking apart during continued operation and the tyre
could suddenly tear open. If the bead core breaks during
inflation, the carcass will also be destroyed.
8. Tyre damage 43
Tyre with broken bead core and destroyed carcass

The figure shows a tyre with a broken bead core and destroyed
carcass as a result of excess pulling force during fitting.
Bead damage due to faulty or incorrect tyre fitting with tyre-fitting
machine
The following errors, which may occur when tyres are fitted, can
lead to severe tyre damage:
♦ If the opposite tyre bead is not seated completely in the rim
well when the upper bead is rolled in on the tyre fitting ma‐
chine. ⇒ page 43 .
♦ If the fitting head is improperly adjusted.
♦ If the edge of the fitting roller rolls onto the bead.
♦ If the guide rollers are worn or have sharp edges.
If the tyre bead is split.

In these cases, the bead, which is under great tension, can be cut
into in the direction of rotation, split and/or be pinched off down
to the core wire.
It is often possible to identify the tracks of the guide roller as it was
applied or ran off where the damage occurred.

9 Tyres with run-flat properties
9.1 General
Tyres with run-flat properties have reinforced side walls when
comparing them with normal tyres. This reduces the slippage of
the side walls and prevents the tyre flanks sticking when the tyres
are run deflated. This ensures the vehicle remains controllable
and the vehicle has almost normal driving characteristics. The al‐
leviates the necessity to fit the spare wheel in dangerous condi‐
tions e.g hard shoulder of a motorway or in bad weather
conditions.
A deflated tyre can be driven further to the next workshop (approx.
50 km (approx. 30 miles)) at a suitable speed (max. 80 km/h (max.
50 mph)) and in suitable driving style for the conditions, see ⇒
Owner's wallet .
After checking the respective wheel, the responsibility lies with
the driver to decide if it is safe to drive further with the deflated
tyre.

11.4 Split rim composite wheels

Split rim alloy wheels consist of several parts.
The major parts are the rim and the wheel centre. These parts are
bolted together with special bolts using a special process. This
ensures that the wheel functions properly, that it is sealed and
safe and that it runs true. These requirements are not guaranteed
with workshop materials and under workshop conditions.
WARNING
You must not dismantle or repair composite wheels!
11.5 Alloy wheels with exchangeable trim el‐

11.9 The valve

1- Valve body
2- Valve core
3- Valve cap
1. Valve body
The rubber valve for tubeless tyres is designed to create an air-
tight seal in the hole in the rim. The elastic material of the rubber
valve body presses tightly into the hole in the rim.
In the case of valves with a threaded metal base, a rubber seal is
used to seal the rim. The lateral faces of the rim hole are sealing
surfaces. They must therefore be free of rust and dirt and must
not be damaged.
2. Valve core
The valve insert has the most important job in the valve. It creates
a seal and enables the regulation of the air pressure. The small
flat seal on the valve core can only function correctly if it is free of
foreign particles, dirt andemoisture.

12 Notes on use of temporary spare

wheels
Inform your customers about the following notes and, if appropri‐
ate, refer also to the user's manual of the vehicle as the need
arises.
The following notes also apply to spare wheels, e.g. 7 J x 16 with
205/55 R 16 tyres, marked with a yellow sticker with the text „MAX
80 km/h“ or „MAX 50 mph“
Note
♦ Depending on vehicle equipment, e.g. Passat cars with alloy

wheels and 225 mm tyres have a spare wheel with the sticker
described above instead of a temporary spare wheel.
♦ The spare wheel or temporary spare wheel is intended only
for temporary use over short distances. Therefore, it must be
replaces by a normal wheel as quickly as possible.
♦ After the temporary or spare wheel has been fitted, the tyre
pressure must be checked as soon as possible. For the correct
tyre pressure, please refer to the tyre pressure in the relevant
vehicle or the relevant manual: Maintenance manual.
♦ Always observe the speed warning on the temporary spare
wheel („MAX 80 km/h“ or „MAX 50 mph“).
♦ Full acceleration, hard braking and driving fast through curves
should be avoided.
♦ Never drive with more than one spare wheel or temporary
spare wheel.
