Regular maintenance
The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator does not remove the need for regular maintenance and inspection of tyres. The driver is responsible
for ensuring the correct tyre pressure is maintained at all times, even if the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator does not give any warning that
the tyre pressure is too low.
The tyre pressure of all tyres must be checked monthly on the cold tyres and correspond to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications
on the tyre pressure sticker.
This also applies to the tyre pressure of the spare wheel or temporary spare wheel.
The recommended tyre pressure for the tyre sizes approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle type can be found on the tyre pressure
sticker (→ Tyre pressure).
Malfunction not remedied
If the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator shows a malfunction, tyre pressure cannot be monitored correctly. A malfunction of the Tyre
Pressure Loss Indicator can have various causes, e.g. due to replacement of a wheel or tyre. When a wheel or tyre has been replaced,
check whether the indicator lamp is indicating a system malfunction to ensure that the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator is functioning
properly (→ Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator).
Delayed display or no display
In the following situations, the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator may not display anything or may react with a delay:
—Driving with snow chains.
—Driving on snow-covered or icy roads or unsurfaced roads.
—With sporty driving.
The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator must be adapted again under the following conditions:
—If the tyre pressures have been changed.
—If one or more wheels have been changed.
—If the wheels have been swapped round, e.g. from front to rear (→ Wheels and tyres).
The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator may only be adapted again if all the tyres have been filled at the correct tyre pressure when measured
on a cold tyre. Before measuring the tyre pressure on a cold tyre, park the vehicle for 1 hour out of direct sunlight.
In the event of a low tyre pressure warning, you cannot calibrate the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator until you have met one of the
following two conditions:
—Switch the ignition off and then back on again.
— Wait for 60 seconds with the engine running and the vehicle stationary.

The indicator lamp flashes for around 6 seconds. An acoustic signal also sounds and a text message is displayed on the
instrument cluster display.
After an extended driving time of at least 20 minutes and driving at different speeds, the system will automatically learn the new
values and monitor them.
