General Information
Note
The base TPMS does not employ individual pressure sensors to determine individual tire pressures, but instead is an integral part of the Antilock Brake System (ABS). For more information on the ABS.
Wheel electronics are mounted on each wheel for tire pressure monitoring.The wheel electronics regularly send data that is received by the central locking and anti-theft system antennas and directed to the Tire Pressure Monitoring Control Module -J502-.
This control module is integrated with a diagnostic address in the Comfort System Central Control Module -J393-.All specified tire pressure values (control pressures) are programmed in the control module at the factory.
The pressures apply to a set of wheels with approved tires recommended by Volkswagen and noted on the fuel filler flap.The specified tire pressures for these wheel sets are given for partial and complete vehicle load and must not be changed.
Use the SET button in the center console to switch between full and partial load, to check the status and to switch tire pressure monitoring on or off.
Caution
This button is not for the North American region (NAR). Therefore, the previously described function does not apply to this region.
Messages and warnings are shown via lights in instrument panel and texts in instrument panel display.
The tire pressure monitoring system is included in the software in the ABS Control Module -J104-. The system will recognize a slow and gradual decrease in tire pressure on a wheel. The DTC memory entries for tire pressure monitoring system are stored in the ABS Control Module -J104-. With the help of the ABS speed sensor, the TPMS compares the speed and rolling circumference of the individuals tires.
After the following work and/or changes and with the ignition switched on, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Button -E492- must be pressed until the confirmation chime sounds:
If a tire has changed in circumference, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Indicator Lamp -K220- in the instrument cluster will come on. Rolling circumference of a tire may change due to:
System Malfunction in the Anti-Lock Braking System
If the ASR/ESP Indicator Lamp -K155- or the Traction Control Indicator Lamp -K86- indicate a malfunction in the ABS system, then the Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Indicator Lamp -K220--arrow- will also illuminate. A malfunction in the tire pressure monitoring system has not been stored.
Indicator lamp cannot be turned off by pressing Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Button -E492-. In this case, perform the following steps:

Basic Setting, Performing
Perform a basic setting each time a change is made to the wheels.
The signal tone confirms the basic setting.
