When should I have my Polo's spark plugs replaced?

2027

Spark plug replacement can be performed when an engine oil change or inspection service is due.

Because required service depends on operating conditions and vehicle equipment, have qualified professionals determine the work and follow service intervals.

Page 869 in the 2027 manual →

2025

Check the service interval display; when service is due, changing the spark plugs may be included as additional work.

Have this service performed by a suitably qualified workshop, because inadequate servicing can cause breakdowns, accidents, or serious injury.

What does a TPMS light that flashes and then stays on mean?

2027

The TPMS has detected a malfunction if the telltale flashes for about one minute and then stays on, and it may not detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.

Replacement or alternate tires or wheels can cause this problem, so check the telltale after replacing tires or wheels.

How do I check my current service due date?

Can I tow-start the vehicle if the 12 V battery is dead?

2027

Do not tow-start the vehicle; use a jump-start instead, because tow-starting can severely damage the emission control system.

Can I jump-start the vehicle with a frozen 12 V battery?

2027

Never jump-start a frozen or thawed 12 V battery; replace it instead, because a drained battery can freeze around 0 C (32 F).

  2. Connect the phone to the Infotainment system using a USB cable.
  3. Confirm the requested permissions on the phone; App-Connect is then set up.
  4. Do not let app use distract you while driving; drive with full attention and responsibility.

What should I do if an over-the-air update fails?

2025

Follow the error messages and warnings displayed on the Infotainment system or instrument cluster.

If the installation error is critical, do not use the vehicle and contact Volkswagen Customer Care because control units, functions, and displays may be unavailable.

What should I do when a warning or indicator lamp illuminates?

2025

Warning and indicator lamps can signal warnings, faults, or certain functions; some should go out after the ignition is switched on.

Never ignore an illuminated lamp or text message; stop as soon as possible when it is safe to do so.

Page 14 in the 2025 manual →

2024

The low tire pressure warning means tire pressure is low; do not drive on, and stop as soon as possible when safe.

Page 14 in the 2024 manual →

How can I tell when an over-the-air update is available?

2024

The Infotainment system displays available over-the-air updates, which should be completed promptly; repeated rejection requires a qualified workshop, preferably a Volkswagen dealership.

How should I drive with a temporary spare tire?

2024

If the spare differs from the mounted tires, use it only for a short breakdown period, drive carefully, and replace it with a normal wheel as soon as possible.

Page 474 in the 2024 manual →

How does automatic lighting control work?

2024

With automatic lighting control on, the vehicle turns on its lighting and instrument and switch lighting when darkness is detected or the wipers run for an extended period.

This system is only an aid and may not detect every driving situation.
