2. Drive (or reverse) the vehicle around 10 m (around 33 ft) so that the sealing compound is evenly distributed in the tyre.

3. Screw the compressor’s tyre filler hose directly onto the tyre valve and inflate the tyre again.

4. If the required pressure still cannot be reached, the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre cannot be sealed with the breakdown set.

Do not drive on → . Seek expert assistance.

Continuing your journey

1. Disconnect the compressor and unscrew the tyre filler hose from the tyre valve.

2. Immediately drive on at a speed of no more than 80 km/h (50 mph) once a tyre pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar (29 – 36 psi/200 – 250

kPa) has been reached.

3. Check the tyre pressure after driving for 10 minutes.

Check after driving for 10 minutes

1. Park the vehicle on a firm and level surface at the next safe opportunity, e.g. a car park.

2. Reconnect the tyre filler hose → Fig. 2 1 or → Fig. 5 1 and read off the tyre pressure on the tyre pressure display → Fig. 2

3 or → Fig. 5 4 .

1.3 bar (19 psi/130 kPa) and lower:

1.

The tyre cannot be sealed adequately with the breakdown set → . Seek expert assistance.

1.4 bar (20 psi/140 kPa) and higher:

1. Adjust the tyre pressure back to the correct value.

2. Drive carefully to the nearest suitably qualified workshop. Do not exceed a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Volkswagen

recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.

3. Have the damaged tyres replaced by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen

repairer.

WARNING

The tyre filler hose and compressor can become hot when inflating the tyre and cause burns if touched.

● Protect your hands and skin from hot components.

● Do not place the hot tyre filler hose or the hot compressor on any inflammable materials.

● Allow the tyre filler hose and compressor to cool down before you stow them.

WARNING

If the defective tyre cannot be sealed adequately with the breakdown set, the tyre will lose air when driving.

This can lead to tyre failure, loss of control of the vehicle, accidents, serious injuries and death.

● If the tyre will not inflate to at least 2.0 bar (29 psi/200 kPa), the tyre is too damaged. The sealant is unable to seal the tyre. Do not

drive on and seek expert assistance instead.

● Do not carry on driving if the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar (19 psi/130 kPa) or less after driving for 10 minutes. Seek expert assistance

instead.

Information for the end user concerning comparative values for specified basic tyres (standardised test procedure) :

with the specification 280 wear at a rate of 2.8 times more slowly than standard tyres that

have a treadwear value of 100. The performance of tyres is determined by how they are

used and can significantly deviate from standard values due to driving style, maintenance,

road surface and climatic conditions.

Wet braking performance of the tyre (AA, A, B or C). The wet braking performance is

tested under controlled conditions on certified test tracks. Tyres marked C have a low

tests and does not include acceleration and lateral stability or aquaplaning and traction

under maximum load.

The tyre labelling is located on both sides. Certain labels may only be found on one side of the tyre, e.g. tyre identification number and

manufacturing date.

Any further numbers and letters are internal codes used by the tyre manufacturer or country-specific codes.

Low-profile tyres

Low-profile tyres have a wider tread surface, larger rim diameter and lower side walls than conventional wheel/tyre combinations.

Low-profile tyres can improve the vehicle’s handling and precision. They may however result in a less comfortable ride on uneven road

surfaces and tracks.

Tyres with directional tread pattern

An arrow on the tyre sidewall indicates the direction of rotation on tyres with directional tread. The direction of rotation must be

observed in all cases. This guarantees the best possible running characteristics.

If, however, the tyre is fitted in the opposite direction to the tread pattern, you must take more care when driving as the tyre is now no

longer being used according to its designation. The tyres must be replaced as quickly as possible or be fitted with the tread in the

correct direction.

Asymmetrical tyres

Asymmetrical tyres take into account the differing behaviour of the inner and outer areas of the tread pattern. The sidewalls of

asymmetrical tyres are marked to indicate "inside" or "outside". Always observe the correct tyre position on the wheel rim.

Tyre load

The load index indicates the maximum load capacity of an individual tyre in kilograms (tyre load).

depending on manufacturer

Vehicles in the EU and the EU user states are issued an EC Certificate of Conformity. The EC Certificate of Conformity details the size,

diameter, tyre load and speed range of all tyres approved by Volkswagen for the relevant vehicle type.

The type plate shows whether there is an EC Certificate of Conformity for this particular vehicle .

—If the type plate has a row marked “Permit” then the vehicle has an EC Certificate of Conformity.

—If there is no type plate, or no row marked “Permit” the vehicle does not have an EC Certificate of Conformity.

Recording the service work performed (“digital service schedule”)

The service records are stored in a central system by your suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised

repairer. This transparent documentation of the service history allows the service operations performed to be reproduced at any time.

Each time you have your vehicle serviced, Volkswagen recommends asking for a printed service record, which contains all service work

stored in the system.

Regular servicing of your vehicle not only maintains its value, it also ensures that your vehicle remains roadworthy and in working

order. You should therefore have your vehicle serviced according to the Volkswagen guidelines.

With every service, the printout of the previous service record is replaced by a current printout.

The digital service schedule is not available in some countries. In this case, your suitably qualified workshop will inform you about the

documentation process for service work. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised repairer.

Service work

The following information is documented in the digital service schedule by your suitably qualified workshop or Volkswagen dealership:

—When which service was carried out.

—Whether any repairs are recommended, such as replacement of the brake pads in the near future.

—Whether you had any special requests before or during the maintenance work. Your service advisor will note these on the order.

—Which components and service fluids were changed.

—When your next service is scheduled for.

The LongLife mobility guarantee is valid until the next inspection is due. Documentation takes place at every due inspection.

The type and scope of service work may differ from vehicle to vehicle. Information on specific work for your vehicle can be requested

from a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised repairer.
