Volkswagen Golf GTI (2015 year). Instruction — part 13
After any tire on your vehicle is removed and then remounted, even if the same tire and wheel rim
that were taken off are reinstalled (for instance, after repair).
After any tire on your vehicle is changed and replaced by another tire, even if the replacement tire
is the same type and is inflated to the same pressure as the tire it replaced.
After adjusting the tire pressure of any tire on the vehicle to its correct cold tire inflation pressure,
either by putting air in one or more tires or by letting air out. Do this even though air was only added
(or let out) to bring the tire to the inflation pressure it should have had all along.
After rotating the front and rear wheels
⇒ Tires and wheels.
After mounting the compact spare wheel.
WARNING
Incorrect recalibration can cause the TPMS to give false warnings or to give no warning
despite dangerously low tire pressure. Make certain the tire inflation pressure of all tires is
correct before recalibrating the system.
WARNING
Incorrect tire pressure can cause sudden tire failure, loss of vehicle control and serious
personal injury.
Always check and correct air pressure in all 4 tires, particularly after changing,
exchanging, or repairing tires.
After that, always make sure that all 4 tires are inflated to the correct tire pressure for the
tires installed on the vehicle. Then recalibrate the system so that it can properly monitor the
pressure in the tire.
See the tire pressure label
⇒ Tire inflation pressure and the Owner's Literature for
recommended cold tire inflation pressure and other important information.
When replacing tires or wheel rims, always read and heed all of the information and
WARNINGS
⇒ Tires and wheels.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System must be recalibrated whenever you remove and
remount or change any wheel or tire on the vehicle, even if the reinstalled or replacement
wheels and tires are identical to those that were removed and even if the tire pressure does
not change.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System stops working if there is an ESC/ABS malfunction
⇒ Braking and parking.
After a low tire pressure warning, the vehicle must stand and must not be driven for at least
1 minute before the new benchmark tire pressures can be stored.

WARNING
Loose objects can be thrown around the inside of the vehicle when the vehicle is moving,
especially during sudden maneuvers and hard braking. This can cause serious personal
injuries and even make the driver lose control of the vehicle.
Never let animals ride in the vehicle's open storage compartments, on top of the
instrument panel, or on the luggage compartment cover behind the rear seat backrests.
Never put hard, heavy or sharp objects in these places or in articles of clothing or bags in
the passenger compartment.
Always keep storage compartments closed while driving.
WARNING
Objects in the driver footwell can prevent the pedals from moving freely. This can cause loss
of vehicle control and increase the risk of serious personal injuries.
Always make sure that nothing can interfere with the pedals.
Always fasten floor mats securely to the floor.
Never put floor mats or other floor coverings on top of already installed floor mats.
Always make sure that nothing can fall into the driver footwell while the vehicle is moving.
WARNING
Some kinds of cigarette lighters can be lit unintentionally, or crushed causing a fire that can
result in serious burns and vehicle damage.
Always make sure that there are no lighters in the seat tracks or near other moving parts
before adjusting the seats.
Before closing a storage compartment, always make sure that no cigarette lighter can be
activated, crushed, or otherwise damaged.
Never leave a cigarette lighter in a storage compartment, on the instrument panel, or in
other places in the vehicle. Heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a
parked vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside
temperatures, particularly in summer. High temperatures could cause the cigarette lighter to
catch fire.
NOTICE
The defroster heating wires or antenna in the rear window can be damaged by hard or sharp
things on the shelf below the rear window.
Do not keep any food, medicine, or other items sensitive to heat or cold in the vehicle. They
