NOTICE
● Remove the snow chains when driving on roads that are clear of snow. The snow chains will otherwise impair
handling, damage the tyres and wear out very quickly.
● Snow chains that are in direct contact with the wheel can scratch or damage it. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles
recommends using snow chains with integrated rim protection.
In vehicles with a Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator, the system must be re-synchronised when snow chains are
fitted (→ Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator).
Snow chains are available in a range of sizes for a vehicle
type.

WARNING
Using unsuitable hubcaps, or fitting them incorrectly, can cause accidents and serious injuries.
Incorrectly fitted hubcaps can become loose while the vehicle is in motion and endanger other road users.
● Do not use damaged hubcaps.
● Always make sure that the air flow to cool the brakes is not restricted or reduced. This also applies if hubcaps are
retrofitted. If the airflow is not sufficient, the braking distance could increase significantly.
NOTICE
If hubcaps are not fitted for long periods, the wheel hubs and bearings can be damaged.
● To avoid damage to the vehicle, carefully remove and refit the hubcaps.
● Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends driving only with fitted hubcaps.
