Get Maintenance -> Tire mobility set Guide for Volkswagen Touran 4 Door Third Generation (2022-2025)

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 (→ Tire Pressure Monitoring System) (→ Tire Pressure Monitoring System).

If the dimensions of the new tires do not match the dimensions of the tires that have been removed and

require a different cold tire pressure, you will need to adapt the tire pressures for the tire pressure monitoring

system (→ Tire Pressure Monitoring System).

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 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).

580

—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.

—In combination with an AirStop® tire. You can tell if your vehicle is equipped with AirStop® tires by the lettering

“Seal” on the outside of 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
