Download Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Manual DescriptionIn this section you'll find information about, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) uses a pressure sensor in each wheel, the TPMS checks the tire pressure of all 4 tires while you are driving and warns if there loss, pressure while the vehicle is moving.
Programmed into the system is signaled by the indicator light (telltale), by acoustic warnings, by, text messages in instrument cluster display, accessories, replacement parts, repairs changes, incorrect tire pressures and/or underinflation can cause sudden tire failure, loss control.
Collision, serious personal injury even death, when the warning symbol appears in the instrument cluster, stop inspect tires, incorrect tire pressure and/or underinflation can cause increased tire wear can affect, the handling of the vehicle stopping ability.
Incorrect tire pressures and/or underinflation can also lead sudden tire failure, including a blowout and sudden deflation, causing loss vehicle control, the driver is responsible for the correct tire pressures for all tires vehicle, recommended tire pressure values are listed on a sticker on the driver door ⇒ Tires.
The TPMS can only work correctly when all tires on the vehicle are filled correct, cold tire pressure specified for the tires installed vehicle, using incorrect tire pressure values can cause accidents or other damage, the tires to the correct specified cold tire pressure values for the tires installed vehicle.
Always maintain correct cold tire inflation pressure so that TPMS can do its job, always inflate tires to the recommended and correct tire pressure before driving off, driving with underinflated tires causes them to flex (bend) more, letting them get too hot, resulting in tread separation, sudden tire failure, loss control.
Excessive speed and/overloading can cause heat build-up, sudden tire failure loss, if the tire pressure is too low or too high, the tires will wear prematurely vehicle, and at reduced speed to the nearest service station to check the tire pressure add air, when replacing tires or wheel rims on vehicles equipped with TPMS always read heed.
The information and all WARNINGS regarding Tires and wheels ⇒ Tires wheels, the wheel electronics are attached to special aluminum valves on wheels, missing valve stem caps can cause damage to the valves as well as TPMS sensors, to help prevent damage, always use valve stem caps like those originally installed.
When switching to different tires, make certain the valves and sensors not damaged, when replacing the valve cores, use only nickel-plated replacement cores, underinflation increases fuel consumption tire wear, dispose of the wheel electronics and the old batteries in an environmentally responsible manner.
Batteries of the type used in the wheel electronics may contain Perchlorate Material, do not rely solely on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, sure they are properly inflated and have no signs of damage, such as punctures, cuts, cracks, when you take delivery of the vehicle, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System calibrated.
Factory-recommended cold tire inflation pressure for the tires on your vehicle, as shown label, inside the driver door ⇒ fig, for replacement tires that require a different inflation pressure, the TPMS must be adjusted, new pressure specification by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service.
Label on the driver door pillar ⇒ Tire inflation pressure, to help prevent damage to the sensor and valve, do not put excessive force valve when, if sensors have to be replaced, have the valves changed same time, the tire valve gaskets must be replaced whenever a tire is mounted on rim.
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility has a valve seal and gasket kit, more than the pressure specified on tire pressure label, when the TPMS determines that the air pressure in at least one tire is too low, carefully check, pressure in all 4 tires with an accurate tire pressure gauge.
Determined by looking at the tire, a Declaration of Compliance with the United States FCC and Industry Canada regulations found, there may be differences between the pressure readings from a tire pressure gauge.
