Wheels and tires -> Wheel covers for Your Volkswagen Arteon 4 Door First Generation (2017-2024)

Spare wheel, compact spare wheel, or collapsible spare wheel  
The pressure of the spare wheel, compact spare wheel, or collapsible spare wheel in the vehicle trunk is not monitored.  
NOTICE  
The pressure sensors are installed on special aluminum valves that are fixed in place. When filling and checking the tire pressure, do not bend the valves  
“into position”.  
The valves and sensors can be damaged if valve caps are missing. For this reason, always make sure all valve caps are fully tightened when driving.  
Do not use metal valve caps.  
Do not use “comfort valve caps”, because these do not form a seal and the sensors could be damaged.  
Troubleshooting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System  
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒  
Introduction.  
Tire pressure low  
The yellow indicator light turns on.  
Message: Flat tire! The pressure of one or more tires is below 20 psi (1,4 bar/140 kPa) or there is a critical loss of tire pressure.  
1. Do not continue driving!  
2. Check all tires for external damage and objects embedded in them.  
3. Check the pressure in all tires ⇒ Tire pressure.  
4. Change the tire or drive slowly to the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen recommends contacting an  
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.  
Message: Tire pressures are too low. This warning indicates a critical loss of pressure in at least one tire.  
1. Check and adjust the pressure in all the tires ⇒ Tire pressure.  
2. Change the tire or drive slowly to the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen recommends contacting an  
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.  
Message: Please check the tire pressures. The warning indicates a minor loss of pressure in at least one tire.  
1. Avoid driving long distances and at high speeds when the message is displayed.  
2. Check and adjust the tire pressure in all tires ⇒ Tire pressure.  
Tire pressure monitoring system malfunction  
The yellow indicator light flashes for approximately one minute and then stays on.  
One or more tires with tire pressure monitoring sensors were installed but not detected.  
1. Drive for a few minutes until the indicator light turns off.  
One or more tires without tire pressure monitoring sensors were installed or a tire pressure monitoring sensor is malfunctioning.  
1. Install tires with functioning tire pressure monitoring sensors.  
There is a system malfunction.  
1. Switch the ignition off and back on again. If the malfunction persists, contact a suitably qualified professional. Volkswagen recommends contacting an  
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.  
There is a malfunction between a sensor and the system. Because of overlap among sensors that function in the same frequency range, the system function may b  
temporarily impaired.  
1. Switch off or avoid using sources of interference, such as mobile devices, remote controls, or children’s toys.  
Wheel covers  
Hubcap  
Vehicles with removable wheel center trim  
306  
Fig. 183 Remove the hubcap.  
The wheel center trim is for protecting the wheel bolts and must be reattached after a wheel change.  
1. Removing:ꢀ Take the extraction hook out of the vehicle toolkit ⇒ Vehicle tool kit components and insert in a hole (alloy wheel) or hook it to the edge (steel whee  
of the hubcap fig. 183.  
2. Remove the trim in the direction of the arrow fig. 183.  
3. Installing: press the hubcap centrally on the rim and press it against the rim until it you feel it engage.  
WARNING  
Unsuitable wheel covers and assembling wheel covers incorrectly can cause accidents and serious injuries.  
Wheel covers that are installed incorrectly can loosen while driving and endanger other road users.  
Do not use damaged hubcaps.  
Always make sure that the air supply to cool the brakes is not blocked or reduced. This also applies when wheel covers are retrofitted. An insufficient air  
supply can cause the braking distance to increase significantly.  
Wheel covers  
Removing the wheel hub cover  
Fig. 184 Remove the wheel hub cover.  
The full wheel covers protect the wheel bolts and must be reattached after a wheel change.  
307  
1. Take the extraction hook out of the vehicle tool kit ⇒ Vehicle tool kit components.  
2. Engage the extraction hook in one of the openings on the wheel hub cover.

Wheel change  
Introduction  
Only change the wheel yourself if the vehicle is parked securely, you are familiar with the safety precautions and the necessary procedures and you have the  
necessary tools. Some vehicles are delivered from the factory without a vehicle jack and lug wrench. In such cases, have the wheel changed by an authorized  
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen  
Service Facility.  
The vehicle jack supplied by the factory is only designed for changing one wheel that has a damaged tire and must be replaced. If both tires on one side of the  
vehicle, both tires on one axle, or all tires are damaged, contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance.
