WARNING
Using unsuitable hubcaps, or fitting them incorrectly, can cause accidents and serious injuries.
Incorrectly fitted hubcaps can become loose while the vehicle is in motion and endanger other road users.
● Do not use damaged hubcaps.
● Always make sure that the air flow to cool the brakes is not restricted or reduced. This also applies if hubcaps are
retrofitted. If the airflow is not sufficient, the braking distance could increase significantly.
NOTICE
If hubcaps are not fitted for long periods, the wheel hubs and bearings can be damaged.
● To avoid damage to the vehicle, carefully remove and refit the hubcaps.
● Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends driving only with fitted hubcaps.
