Speed restrictions Winter tires are certified up to a top speed identified by speed rating code letters on the side wall ⇒ Tire labeling. In some vehicle models it is possible to set a speed warning in the MFI menu in the instrument cluster display (Multi-Function Indicator - MFI) ⇒ Volkswagen Information System. Top speed rating and tire inflation pressure for V winter tires depend on the engine installed in your vehicle. Be sure to ask you authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility about the maximum permissible speed and the required tire inflation pressure for the winter tires that you plan to use. All-wheel drive (4MOTION) Vehicles with all-wheel drive and standard road wheels have good forward motion and traction even under wintery road conditions. However, Volkswagen recommends installing winter tires or all season tires on all 4 wheels to improve handling as well as braking performance. If you use snow chains, please read and heed information and directions WARNING Driving faster than the maximum speed for which the winter tires on your vehicle were designed can cause sudden tire failure including a blowout and sudden deflation, loss of control, crashes and serious personal injuries. x Winter tires have a maximum speed rating that may be lower than your vehicle's maximum speed. x Never drive faster than the maximum speed for which the winter tires installed on your vehicle are rated because tires that are driven faster than their rated speed can fail suddenly. x Never exceed the maximum load rating for the winter tires installed on your vehicle. Install summer tires promptly in the spring. Summer tires offer better handling characteristics for temperatures above +45 °F (+7 °C). They are quieter, do not wear as quickly, and reduce fuel consumption. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System must be recalibrated using the appropriate menu in the MFI whenever you remove and remount or change any wheel or tire on the vehicle, even if the reinstalled or replacement wheels and tires are identical to those that were removed and even if the tire pressure does not change If necessary, ask your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility about permissible winter tire dimensions. Snow chains ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS Obey local regulations as well as the applicable speed limits when driving with snow chains. Snow chains improve forward motion, traction and braking characteristics under wintry conditions. Snow chains may be used only on the front wheels when driving on roads and highways. This applies even to all-wheel drive vehicles (4MOTION). Snow chains may be used only in the following tire and wheel rim combinations:
