| Retrofitting/requirements when using run-flat tyres |
Caution | Retrofitting run-flat tyres to VW models may only be undertaken if the tyres are fitted as standard or they are available as an option. |
|
| These tyres may only be used on vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring system as a pressure lose in the tyres is not always visible. This system warns the driver when an inflation pressure is less than a certain inflation pressure. |
| Tyres with run-flat properties may only be fitted on disc-type wheels with raised double hump (Extended Hump - EH2) → Chapter. |
| A mixed installation with standard tyres is not permitted, even on same axle. |
| Only in exceptional circumstances may a standard tyre be fitted e.g. for a short period or a limited distance. The special run-flat characteristics are lost, the driver must always be informed. |
