x Driving without valve caps, with the wrong valve caps, or with vavel caps that are not properly screwed on can damage the tire valves and the sensors on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System ⇒ page 259. To help prevent damage, always use valve stem caps like those originally installed at the factory. The caps must be screwed on tightly. Do not use metal valve caps or “comfort” valve stem caps. Underinflation increases fuel consumption. There may be differences between the pressure readings from a tire pressure gauge and the pressures registered by the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. The electronic Tire Pressure Monitoring System is more accurate. When the TPMS warns that the pressure in at least one tire is too low, check the tire pressure in all 4 tires with an accurate tire pressure gauge. Low tire pressure usually cannot be spotted by looking at the tire. This is especially true for low-profile tires. When checking the tire pressures, refer to Tire inflation pressure in cold tires ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS Engine Tire dimensions Tire pressure bar psi kPa 2.0 L/200 hp (147 kW) TSI 235/45 R 17 xl 2.3 33 230 235/40 R 18 xl 2.6 37 255 Compact spare wheel T125/70 R 16 4.2 61 415 xl = reinforced sidewall. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System is configured at the factory with the correct tire inflation pressure applicable for the vehicle model, engine and factory-installed tires. The tire inflation pressure is listed on the tire inflation pressure label on the driver door jamb ⇒ page 240. The tire inflation pressures for the road tires are listed on this label. The inflation pressure for the compact spare is as specified on the tire pressure label or on a separate label for the compact spare, if there is one. In the event of a discrepancy between the above figures and the tire pressures listed on the tire inflation pressure label, the pressures listed on the label are the ones you should use. The listed pressure applies to all road tires. If different tires are installed that do not have the same cold tire inflation pressure as the tires originally installed on your vehicle, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System cannot properly monitor tire inflation pressures unless the TPMS is reset to the new tire pressures. Authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities have the necessary special tools and can reset the TPMS for the new tires on your vehicle.
