WARNING
Changing a wheel, especially on the side of the road, can be dangerous. To help reduce the
risk of serious personal injury:
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Move the vehicle a safe distance off
the road where it is safe to change the wheel.
Always make sure that all passengers, especially children, are in a safe place outside the
vehicle and away from the vehicle and traffic (such as behind a guard rail).
Turn on the emergency flashers and set up another warning device about 25 yards (25
meters) behind the vehicle to warn approaching traffic.
Change a wheel by yourself only if you are familiar with the necessary steps. Otherwise,
get expert assistance.
Always switch the engine off, firmly apply the parking brake, and shift the transmission
into Park (P) (automatic transmission) or any gear (manual only) to help prevent the vehicle
from moving suddenly and slipping off the jack.
Always make sure that the ground is level and firm. If necessary, place the jack on a large
and sturdy board or on a similar ground support.
Always block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed with chocks or other
similar things.
If you are towing a trailer, always unhitch it from your vehicle before starting to change
the wheel. Always apply the trailer brakes firmly and make sure the trailer cannot move unin-
tentionally.
Always use proper and undamaged tools when changing a wheel.
Once a wheel is lifted off the ground, having the transmission in Park (P) or in gear will not
prevent sudden vehicle movement.
Always use a jack that has been approved by the manufacturer for your vehicle. Never use
other jacks, even if they have been approved for use on other Volkswagen models.
To reduce the risk of losing control, crashes, and serious personal injuries, never loosen
the screws on rims with threaded rim rings.
After changing a wheel, have the wheel bolt tightening torque checked with an accurate
torque wrench.
After changing a wheel or tire, reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System ⇒  Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
