Get Wheels and Tyres -> Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Guide for Volkswagen Caddy SUV Fifth Generation (2020-2025)

Indicator does not yet display a warning about low tyre pressure.

The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator also can display a malfunction in conjunction with the warning lamp. If the Tyre

Pressure Loss Indicator is malfunctioning, the warning lamp lights up for about a minute after the ignition was

switched on and then stays continuously lit.

If the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator indicates a fault, the tyre pressure cannot be monitored correctly. The

malfunctioning of the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator can have various causes, e.g. due to replacing a wheel or tyre.

When a wheel or tyre has been replaced, a check needs to be made whether the warning lamp is indicating a

system malfunction to ensure that the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator is functioning properly.

Synchronising the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator

The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator must be re-synchronised under the following conditions:

—If the tyre pressures have been adapted.

—If one or more wheels have been replaced.

—If the wheels have been swapped round, e.g. from front to rear.

The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator may be re-synchronised only if all tyres have the correct tyre pressure when

measured with cold tyres. To measure the cold tyre pressure, the vehicle must have been stationary for 3 hours or

driven only a few kilometres at a slow speed during this time.

Switch the ignition off and back on again if you receive a low tyre pressure warning. The Tyre Pressure Loss

Indicator can only then be re-synchronised.

1. Switch on the ignition.

2. Switch on Infotainment system if necessary.

3. Touch Vehicle in the Infotainment system.

4. Touch Vehicle (left) or

5. Touch Tyres.

6. Touch SET .

7. Touch OK when all four tyre pressures correspond to the required values.

OR: Touch Cancel to terminate the process. The current tyre pressure is then not stored and the system is not

re-synchronised.

After an extended driving time(at least 20 minutes) with driving at different speeds, the system will automatically

learn the new values and monitor them.

Functional description

The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS) monitors the tyre pressure of the four wheels while the vehicle is in

motion using pressure sensors on the tyres. The system warns the driver in the event of a pressure loss.

Tyre pressure display in the Infotainment system

1. Switch on the ignition.

2. Touch Vehicle in the Infotainment system.

3. Touch Status .

Tyre

4. Touch pressure

The vehicle is displayed with the target and actual pressures of all the wheels→ Fig. 1.

When the ignition is switched on, the last measured tyre pressures will be displayed first; these values will be

updated when the journey is started. If the tyre pressure is too low, the respective actual values and the affected

tyres will be marked → Fig. 1.

If the tyres are in rest state, the sensors will not transmit any tyre pressures. This stops the sensor batteries

discharging.

The last received tyre pressures are shown in grey if no tyre pressures are transmitted.

Switching the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System on and off (vehicle-dependent)

Observe any country-specific legal requirements for the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.

If a set of tyres is fitted to the vehicle where the tyres either do not have wheel sensors or have wheel sensors that

are not compatible with the vehicle, the indicator lamp will flash for approximately one minute and then light up

steadily. The tyre pressures will not be monitored. The system cannot be switched off.

Adjusting the tyre pressure

Following any relevant change in the vehicle load, the tyre pressuremust be checked and altered as necessary. The

tyre pressures recommended for the vehicle are on a sticker on the driver door pillar or on the inside of the tank flap.

There may be differences between readings on the pressure gauge when filling the tyres and the values determined

by the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is more precise.

Selecting target pressures for partial and full loads

The driver must select the appropriate target pressure depending on the vehicle load level.

1. Switch on the ignition.

2. Touch Vehicle in the Infotainment system.

3. Touch Vehicle (left).

4. Touch Tyres.

5. Select the load level.

Selecting tyre type

While the dimensions of the tyres are changed, it may be necessary to adjust the target pressure for the new tyres. If

no adjustment is necessary, the selection menu will not be available.

1. Switch on the ignition.

2. Touch Vehicle in the Infotainment system.

3. Touch Vehicle (left).

4. Touch Tyres.

Tyre

5. Touch designation

6. Select the appropriate tyre size.

If the dimensions of the new tyres are different from those of the factory-fitted tyres, the corresponding target tyre

pressures can be entered by a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealer.

Spare wheel, temporary spare wheel or collapsible spare wheel

The system doesnot monitor the tyre pressure of the spare wheel, temporary spare wheel or collapsible spare wheel.

NOTICE

● The pressure sensors are secured to special aluminium valves that are screwed rigidly in place. When inflating the

tyres and checking the pressure, do not bend the valves “into position”.

● Missing valve caps could lead to damage to the valve and the sensors. Always make sure that all valve caps are

fully screwed on. Do not use metal valve caps.

● Do not use “convenience” valve caps as they do not form a proper seal. This can cause damage to the sensors.
