How to Check Your Volkswagen Tire Pressure

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System helps maintain optimal safety, performance and fuel economy because it continuously monitors tire pressure and alerts you when it’s too low.

There’s a handy sticker in your door jamb (1) that displays the correct tire pressure-always inflate your tires to those specifications. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System is calibrated to measure that tire pressure on the sticker as THE tire pressure.

So, when you see this symbol (2), or see the text “Tire Pressure Too Low” on your Multi-Function Display, inflate the low tire to THE specified pressure as soon as possible. It’s a good idea to check your tire pressure regularly.

On cool mornings, the light may appear at first and then disappear as you drive and the tire gets warmer. That is why you inflate to what the sticker says. Volkswagen engineers have calibrated the one, best pressure for your tires. Trust the Tire Pressure Monitoring System-it will not let your tires down.

Did you know temperature change can affect tire pressure? A 10-degree difference in temperature can change tire pressure by approximately one pound! Also, when your tires are properly inflated to the specifications listed on the sticker, it helps increase fuel economy and tread life.
