Battery (12V): checking with battery
tester (always refer to workshop man‐
ual)
The following are measures to be carried out during a battery
inspection within the scope of maintenance.
Procedure
1.
2.
Visual check.
Check whether colour indicator is “3-colour” or “2-colour”.
Does not apply to AGM batteries.
3.
4.
Battery check using battery tester with printer -VAS 6161-.
Depending on the result of the battery test, “perform cur‐
rent draw test” (charged separately).
⇒ Electrical system, General information; Rep. gr. 27; Checking
battery
4.7
Status of battery (12V): reading - send‐
ing diagnosis protocol via online con‐
nection
Note
Applies only to vehicles with start/stop and energy recovery
system
Procedure
The battery status is read while the transportation mode is be‐
ing switched off ⇒ page 162 .

Tyres: checking condition
NOTICE
If damage is determined, always check to see if a new tyre
should be fitted.
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.
– Check for appropriate direction of rotation, or make sure that
the inner and outer sides have not been interchanged.
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.
When wear of this nature is detected, determine cause by
checking 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. Your importer will inform you about this.
♦ 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! Approved wheel and tyre combi‐
nations e.g. ⇒ Wheels and tyres guide; Rep. gr. 44; Wheels,
tyres, vehicle geometry; Wheel and tyre combinations.
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, tyres of the same type and
tread pattern must be used. Otherwise the self-locking centre
differential may be damaged.

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.
♦ Note that the pressures indicated on the sticker are applica‐
ble 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 132 .
M+S tyres
Note
♦ Important information about Volkswagen-recommended win‐
ter tyres can be found in ⇒ Wheels and tyres guide; Rep.
gr. 44; Wheels, tyres, vehicle geometry; 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 corre‐
sponds 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 manufacturer.

Tyre pressures, Tiguan
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.
