Tyres: checking condition  
Tests at delivery inspection  
– Check tyre side walls and treads for damage and foreign  
bodies such as, for example, nails or glass splinters.  
Tests at service  
– Check tyre side walls and treads for damage and foreign  
bodies such as, for example, nails or glass splinters.  
– Check tyres for cupping, one-sided wear, porous side walls,  
cuts and punctures.  
– Ensure direction of rotation is correct and tyres are not fitted  
wrong way round.  
– Check for ageing of tyres.  
Note  
For indications of tyre ageing, see Wheels and Tyres Guide.  
⇒ Wheels and Tyres Guide - General Information; Rep.  
gr. 44; Information about tyres; Tyre ageing  
If damage is determined, always check to see if a new tyre  
should be fitted.  
4.8.2  
Wear pattern: checking  
The wear pattern on the front tyres will indicate, for example, if  
toe and camber settings should be checked:  
♦ Feathering on tread indicates incorrect toe setting.  
♦ One-sided tread wear is mainly attributed to incorrect cam‐  
ber.  
If wear of this nature is detected, determine cause by checking  
wheel alignment (repair measure).

4.8.3  
Tyre tread depth (including spare  
wheel): checking  
– Check tyre tread depth.  
Minimum tread depth: 1.6 mm  
Note  
This figure may vary according to legislation in individual  
countries. Ask your importer.  
The minimum tread depth is reached when the tyres have  
worn down level with the 1.6 mm high tread wear indicators  
-arrows- positioned at intervals around the tyre.  
If the tread depth is approaching the minimum allowed  
depth, inform the customer.  
4.8.4  
General information  
NOTICE  
For safety reasons, only tyres of same type and tread pattern  
should be fitted on a vehicle!  
– Observe approved wheel and tyre combinations. ⇒ Wheels  
and tyres guide; Rep. gr. 44; Wheels, tyres, vehicle geom‐  
etry; Wheel and tyre combinations

Maintenance - Edition 11.2021  
Note  
Tyre pressures for the relevant model can also be found on  
a sticker. It is attached to the inside of tank flap or to B-pillar.  
The tyre pressures listed on the sticker are valid for cold  
tyres. Do not reduce increased pressures of warm tyres.  
Depending on the vehicle, the sticker may also contain in‐  
formation on the comfort tyre pressure. The comfort tyre  
pressure facilitates improved driving comfort.  
Adjust the tyre pressure to suit the vehicle load. For delivery  
inspections or repairs, the partial load tyre pressure is to be  
used.  
If no inflation pressure is shown for the spare wheel, then  
inflate the spare wheel to the highest inflation pressure for  
the vehicle.  
Note that a basic setting is to be performed on vehicles  
with Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator each time the pressure is  
changed ⇒ page 52 .  
Winter tyres  
Note  
Important information about winter tyres recommended by  
Volkswagen can be found in ⇒ Wheels and tyres guide;  
Rep. gr. 44; Wheels, tyres, wheel alignment; Wheel and tyre  
combinations.  
If winter tyres are fitted, a sticker indicating the speed limit  
must be attached in the interior where it is visible for the  
customer.  
For winter tyres, the tyre pressure does not have be in‐  
creased. However, this only applies if the winter tyre used  
corresponds exactly to the standard summer tyre size and  
the speed index is no higher than “H”. If this is not the case,  
please refer to the recommendation of the tyre manufactur‐  
er.

Tyre pressures ID.4  
Note  
During delivery inspection, check that tyre inflation pressure  
sticker is fitted. If the sticker is missing, order a new sticker  
through ETKA.  
The mandatory tyre pressures for the respective model can  
be found on a sticker attached to the inside of the tank flap  
or to the B-pillar.  
If the inflation pressure sticker is missing, proceed as fol‐  
lows:  
Locate correct part number for respective vehicle in ETKA.  
Using part number, determine respective inflation pressures  
in tyre inflation table.  
Uniform pressure: if tyre sizes are not shown for a part num‐  
ber, then a uniform pressure is valid for all authorised wheel/  
tyre combinations. ⇒ Wheels and tyres guide; Rep. gr. 44;  
Wheels, tyres, vehicle geometry; Wheel and tyre combina‐  
tions  
Check tyre pressure using tyre inflator -VAS 5216-, correct if  
necessary.
