Tires and wheels -> Tire inflation pressure for Your Volkswagen Cc 4 Door First Generation (2008-2011)

Tire inflation pressure

sure label.  
ꢀ Please first read and note the introductory information and  
heed the WARNINGS  
The correct tire inflation pressure for the factory-installed tires is listed  
on a label. The factory-installed tires may be summer, winter, or all-  
season tires. The label ⇒ꢀfig. 111 is on the driver door jamb.  
Under- or over-inflation significantly shortens the service life of your  
tires and affects the handling of the vehicle ⇒ꢀ . The correct tire  
pressure is very important, particularly when the vehicle is driven at  
higher speeds. Incorrect tire pressure causes increased wear and  
even sudden tire failure and blowouts.  
Therefore, tire pressure should be checked at least once a month and  
always before long trips.  
The specified tire inflation pressure applies to a cold tire. When tires  
are warm, the pressure will be higher than when the tires are cold.  
Do not reduce the tire pressure on warm tires to match the required  
cold tire inflation pressure. The tire inflation pressure would then be  
too low and could cause sudden tire failure and blowout.  
Checking tire inflation pressure  
Always check the tire pressure only on “cold” tires when the vehicle  
has not been driven more than a couple of miles (kilometers) at low  
speed within the last 3 hours.  
Check tire inflation pressure regularly and on cold tires. Check all  
the tires, including the compact spare, if any. In colder climates tire  
pressure should be checked more often, but only when the tires are  
cold. Always use an accurate tire pressure gauge.  
After adjusting the tire inflation pressures, make sure to screw the  
valve caps back on; replace missing valve caps immediately. Please  
read and heed the information on resetting the Tire Pressure Monitor-  
ing System, if necessary ⇒ꢀ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).  
Remember that the vehicle manufacturer, not the tire manufacturer,  
determines the correct tire pressure for the tires on your vehicle.  
Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure listed on the tire side-  
wall for any reason.  
Inflate a spare wheel to the pressure specified for the vehicle's road  
wheels on the tire pressure label; inflate a compact spare wheel to  
the pressure specified for the compact spare on the tire pressure la-  
bel or on a separate label for the compact spare, if there is one.  
WARNING  
Incorrect tire pressure can cause a sudden tire failure or blow-  
out, loss of control, collision, serious personal injury, and even  
death.  
Always inflate tires to the recommended and correct cold tire  
pressure before driving off.  
Low tire pressure can cause tires to get too hot, resulting in  
tread separation, sudden loss of pressure, and blowouts. Tires  
with excessively low pressure flex (bend) more, which can  
cause the tire to overheat and fail suddenly without warning.  
Excessive speed and/or overloading can cause heat build-up,  
sudden tire failure including a blowout and sudden deflation  
and loss of control.  
If the tire pressure is too low or too high, the tires will wear  
prematurely and the vehicle will not handle well.  
Regularly check tire inflation pressure, at least once a month,  
and also especially before a long trip.  
Check the pressure in all 4 tires when the tires are still cold.  
Never reduce air pressure in warm tires to match cold tire infla-  
tion pressure.  
NOTICE  
Make sure not to jam the tire pressure gauge into the valve  
stem. Otherwise you can damage both the tire valves and the tire  
inflation pressure sensors ⇒ꢀ Tire Pressure Monitoring System  
(TPMS).  
Driving without valve caps, with the wrong valve caps, or with  
valve caps that are not properly screwed on can damage the tire  
valves and the sensors on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System  
⇒ꢀ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). To help prevent  
damage, always use valve stem caps like those originally in-  
stalled 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 Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
