Manual Description
If the vehicle does not have the support it needs from 3 fully inflated tires, the vehicle can fall off the jack. If more than 1 tire on the vehicle is flat or damaged, do not lift the vehicle with the vehicle jack. 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. Turn on the emergency flashers and set up another warning device about 25 yards (25 meters) behind the vehicle to warn approaching traffic. 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. Never use other jacks, even if they have been approved for use on other Volkswagen models. After changing a wheel, have the wheel bolt tightening torque checked with an accurate torque wrench.
