Wear pattern: checking

The wear pattern on the front tyres will indicate, for example, if

toe and camber settings should be checked:

♦ Feathering on tread indicates incorrect toe setting.

♦ One-sided tread wear is mainly attributed to incorrect camber.

When wear of this nature is noticed determine cause by carrying

out alignment checks (repair measure).

Tyre tread depth (including spare

wheel): Checking

– Check tyre tread depth.

Minimum tread depth: 1.6 mm

Note

♦ This figure may vary according to legislation in individual coun‐

tries.

♦ The minimum tread depth is reached when the tyres have

worn down level with the 1.6 mm high tread wear indicators

positioned at intervals around the tyre.

♦ If the tread depth is approaching the minimum allowed depth,

inform the customer.

brake fluid

Operation and safety notes

Note

♦ From model year 2006 a new brake fluid is used.

♦ The new brake fluid can also be used for older vehicles.

♦ For this purpose it can be mixed with the previous brake fluid.

WARNING

♦ Never allow brake fluid to come into contact with fluids that

contain mineral oils (e.g. oil, petrol, cleaning agents). Min‐

eral oils damage the seals and boots in the brake system.

♦ Brake fluid is poisonous. In addition, due to its corrosive

nature, it must not come into contact with paint.

♦ Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs mois‐

ture from the ambient air and should therefore always be

stored in air-tight containers.

♦ Rinse off spilled brake fluid using plenty of water.

♦ Observe relevant disposal regulations.

♦ Do not reuse drained (used) brake fluid.

Brake fluid specification

♦ Brake fluid conforming to US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4

(previous brake fluid)

♦ Brake fluid conforming to VW standard, VW 501 14 (new brake

fluid).

Procedure, changing brake fluid

Special tools and workshop equipment required

♦ Brake filling and bleeding equipment - VAS 5234-
