# Winter Tyres
|
|
|
|
Summer tyres have less grip on icy or snowy roads. Winter or all- weather tyres improve driving and braking performance in winter road conditions. At temperatures below $+7^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ or in winter road conditions, Volkswagen recommends converting the vehicle to winter tyres. This also applies to vehicles with all- wheel drive.
|
|
|
|
Winter tyres or all- weather tyres lose much of their winter suitability when the tread pattern is worn down to a height of $4\mathrm{mm}$
|
|
|
|
# The following precautions should be taken when using winter tyres:
|
|
|
|
Compliance with legal requirements specific to the country in which the vehicle is used. Use winter tyres on all four wheels at the same time. Only use them in winter road conditions. Use only the permitted tyre size for the vehicle. Only use winter tyres of the same radial tyre construction, size and with the same tread type in combination. Be aware of the speed limits of the tyres used.
|
|
|
|
# Speed limit
|
|
|
|
The winter tyres have a speed limit.
|
|
|
|
The winter tyre speed warning can be activated or deactivated in the infotainment system and the warning speed can be adjusted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Always consult an appropriately qualified and authorised workshop for the maximum permissible speed and the required tyre pressure. Volkswagen recommends an ID. UNYX Service Center.

# WARNING
|
|
|
|
Do not take risks with winter tyres because they improve driving performance in winter road conditions.
|
|
|
|
Exceeding the speed limit for winter tyres may result in sudden tyre failure and loss of vehicle control.
|
|
|
|
Never ignore the speed limit of the fitted winter tyres, even if the permissible maximum speed of the vehicle is high. Never exceed the maximum load capacity of the fitted winter tyres. Adjust your speed and driving style to visibility, weather conditions, road conditions and traffic.
|
|
|
|
At temperatures above $+7^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ , summer tyres provide better driving performance. They have less rolling noise, lower tyre wear and are more energy efficient.

|
|
For permitted winter tyre sizes please ask an appropriately qualified authorised workshop. Volkswagen recommends an ID. UNYX Service Center. |
