Tightening speciﬁcation for wheel bolts in steel and aluminum alloy rims:

120 Nm (88 ft-lbs).

Wheel bolts that are corroded and difﬁcult to turn must be replaced and the threads in the wheel hub must be cleaned before

checking the tightening torque.

Never grease or oil the wheel bolts and the threads in the wheel hub.

Check the tightening torque using a functioning torque wrench immediately after changing a wheel.

WARNING

If the wheel bolts are not tightened enough to meet the speciﬁcation, the wheel bolts and consequently the wheel could

come loose while driving. Exceeding the tightening speciﬁcation could damage the wheel bolts and threads.

Wheel bolts that are tightened incorrectly or missing could cause you to lose control of the vehicle and lead to serious

accidents and fatal injuries.

Always tighten the wheel bolts to the correct tightening torque. If you do not have a torque wrench, tighten the

wheel bolts with the lug wrench and then have the tightening torque checked as soon as possible by a suitably

qualiﬁed professional. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized

Volkswagen Service Facility.

Never drive with missing or loose wheel bolts.

Always use wheel bolts that are correct for the rim and the vehicle model.

Never grease or oil the wheel bolts and the threads in the wheel hub. Even when tightened to the speciﬁcation,

they could become loose while driving.

Ensure the wheel bolts and threads in the wheel hubs are clean, easy to move and free of oil and grease.

Never loosen the bolts on rims with a bolted rim ring.

WARNING

Incorrect wheel bolts can loosen while driving and cause loss of vehicle control, serious accidents, and fatal injuries.

Always use wheel bolts that are correct for the rim and the vehicle model.

Never use different wheel bolts.

The tire pressure monitoring system indicator light may indicate a system malfunction after a wheel is changed

. If the

spare wheel or compact spare wheel has been fitted, the engine indicator light may light up because the spare wheel or

compact spare wheel has a different tire diameter to the original tires.Contact the nearest suitably qualified workshop if the

engine indicator light remains on after changing to the original tires and after three consecutive journeys, or after 120 km

(75 miles). Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service

Facility.

Tire mobility set

Introduction

The tire mobility set can be used to temporarily and reliably seal tire damage in the tread surface that was caused by foreign

objects or punctures up to approximately 6 mm (approx. 15/64 in) in diameter. Do not remove the foreign body, such as a

screw, from the tire!

Once the sealant has been ﬁlled into the tire, check and adjust the tire pressure again approx. 10 minutes after commencing

423

driving.

If more than one vehicle tired is damaged, seek advice from an

authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. The tire mobility set is only designed to ﬁll one tire.

Only use the tire mobility set when the vehicle is safely parked and you are conﬁdent of the necessaries skills and safety

precautions! Otherwise, contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance.

The tire sealant must not be used:

When the wheel rim is damaged.

In outside temperatures of below -30 °C (-22 °F).

For cuts or punctures in the tire that are larger than 6 mm (approx. 15/64 in).

If you have driven with a very low tire pressure or an empty tire.

If the tire ﬁller bottle is past its use-by date.

If a foreign body has been removed from the tire.

WARNING

It can be dangerous to use the tire mobility set at the roadside.

If the vehicle and work area are not secured properly, serious accidents and fatal injuries may occur.

Only use the tire mobility set yourself if you are familiar with the necessary steps. Instead, seek assistance from an

authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen recommends contacting an

authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Park the vehicle a safe distance from moving trafﬁc ⇒ Securing yourself and the vehicle, ⇒ Parking.

Make sure the vehicle is on level and solid ground.

All passengers, especially children, must keep a safe distance and be clear of the work area.

Switch on the emergency ﬂashers to warn other road users and set up the warning triangle.

When using the tire mobility set, never raise the vehicle using a jack, even if the jack is approved for the vehicle.

WARNING

A tire ﬁlled with sealant does not have the same driving characteristics as an undamaged tire.

Over-stressing a sealed tire may result in serious accidents and fatal injuries.

Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).

Avoid hard acceleration, hard braking, and driving fast around curves.

Drive at a maximum of 80 km/h (50 mph) for no more than 10 minutes and then check the tire.

Tires sealed with the tire mobility set should be replaced immediately. The tire mobility set is only intended for

emergency use in order to reach the nearest authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service

Facility. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service

Facility.

CAUTION

424

The sealing agent can be harmful if it comes into contact with your skin.

If the sealing agent comes into contact with your skin, clean it off immediately with a cloth or other suitable item.

Store the tire mobility set out of the reach of children.

Dispose of used or out-of-date sealant in accordance with statutory requirements.

Your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility can provide you with a new tire inflation

bottle. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Read the separate operating instructions provided by the tire mobility set manufacturer.
