At the second position a warning lamp in the switch comes on.

The fog lights
work
with
the side lights (ignition on), low or high beams.

The rear fog light
works only
with
the fog lights or
with
the low or high beams.

Due
to the amount of
dazzle
it
causes
the

rear
fog
light
should only be switched on
when the visibility is very poor (in Germany
for example, below 50 metres).

Note
The
electrical system of the factory
fitted

tow bar* is wired-up so
that
when towing

a
trailer
fitted
with
rear fog lights, the rear
fog
light
on the towing vehicle are automati­
cally
switched off.

DRIVING
TIPS

Trailer
towing

~~e
vehicle is intended mainly for the trans-
cctation of persons and luggage but it can, th the appropriate technical equipment,

=
so be used to tow a trailer.
Ibiler towing not only places more stress : - the vehicle, it also calls for more concen-
ration from the driver.
::r this reason the operating and driving in­ductions on the next pages must be strict- . adhered to.
Technical
requirements
" :he vehicle is supplied
with
a factory-
• ::ed towing bracket, all
that
is technically -
d
legally necessary for trailer towing will =ve been taken into account.
: should be noted
that
a 13 pin socket is
::ed
instead of the 7 pin one used previous- . This new socket makes it possible to con-
ect additional electrical components on trailer for which there were no connec-

ns
in the previous socket, such as a
cara-

n refrigerator, reversing lights etc.
the following table the wiring of the ter-
nals
in the 7 pin socket is compared
with

at of the 13 pin socket.

Earth
for circuits 9-12
1) Both earth wires must not be connected to­ gether on the trailer side.
21 Not connected at the factory. If the trailer to be towed has a 7 pin plug,
either a 13 pin plug can be
fitted
as shown
in the table or an adapter cable can ce zz-
tained from a Volkswagen dealer.
If the vehicle is to be
fitted
with
a towing
bracket subsequently, the following must

be
noted:
• The towing bracket is a safety part. Only
a
bracket which has been designed and
type-approved for this vehicle may be
used.
It is advisable to use towing brackets from
the Volkswagen range of accessories as

these
are identical to the ones
fitted
by the
factory. The
fitting
instructions supplied

with
these brackets have also been ap­ proved by the factory.
• The trailer socket must be connected properly to the electrical system of the ve­
hicle.
This applies to terminal 54 g in the 7
pin socket or for terminals 2 and 8 -13 in the
13
pin socket.
