Once the tyre pressure check function has been activated you will see an illustration on your screen with the specified pressures for your tyres (in bar) and any deviations from the current specified pressures.
- | Press this function key to activate the tyre pressure monitoring function. |
Initial screen Tyre pressure monitoring with active tyre pressure monitoring, specified pressures and status displays |
The figures between the tyres indicate the specified pressures for the front and rear tyres as measured in bar.
Note
The data provided for the specified pressures refers to cold tyres. The tyres will warm up as the vehicle is in motion and the specified pressures will increase. The altered specified pressures for warm tyres can be seen in the function Filling info..
Status displays of any deviations from the specified pressures can be seen to the left and right of the tyres on the screen. The status displays are as follows:
= | Tyre pressures do not have to be corrected (pressure less than 0.2 bar less than specified pressure) | |
= | Monitoring deactivated | |
= | Warning, check the tyre pressure of the tyre(s) affected | |
= | Warning, Flat tyre | |
= | Display cannot be shown temporarily (Initialisation phase /Fault) |
Warning!
If this symbol for Flat tyre appears, stop immediately and check the tyres. If you do not need to change a tyre on the spot, drive slowly to the nearest filling station to check the tyre pressure and add air if necessary.
Warning!
Your vehicle will not be able to achieve its full performance levels if the tyre pressure is too low. That is why you should have the tyre pressures checked as quickly as possible if an important deviation from the specified value is shown.
Note
If the system states that a display is temporarily not possible (), please press the function key New specified pressures. If the pressure figures are then still not displayed, please contact your VW workshop. New specified pressures should also be confirmed after you have changed a tyre and the pressures have been checked and altered as necessary.
Note
The symbol appears for all tyres when the vehicle is started after a flat tyre repair. In this case, press the function key New specified pressures.
With the function Filling info. it is possible to read the specified pressures even with warm tyres when the symbol for Check tyre pressure is shown.
