If Park Assist has found other alternative parking modes, these will be displayed in a miniature view.
They can be selected in turn by repeatedly pressing the button. Park Assist will switch itself off
after selection of all found parking modes. The originally recommended parking mode is offered
when the button is pressed again.
If you wish to park in a perpendicular parking space in forward direction, select Forward
perpendicular parking ⇒ Fig. 130  . Otherwise the vehicle will reverse into the perpendicular
parking space.

Park Assist can be activated retrospectively. If the vehicle has previously driven past a suitable
parking space, it will be displayed.
Driving into a parking space

If necessary, unlock the stowage compartment. The stowage compartment is locked when the key
slot is vertical.
To open: pull the opening lever.
To close: push the stowage compartment upwards.

WARNING
If the stowage compartment on the front passenger side is left open, this can increase the risk of
serious injury in the event of an accident or during sudden braking or driving manoeuvres.
Always keep the stowage compartment closed while the vehicle is in motion.

NOTICE
In some vehicle models, the stowage compartment on the front passenger side contains apertures.
Small items could fall through the apertures and become trapped behind the trim. This could cause
unusual noises and damage to the vehicle.
Stow small objects only in the stowage areas that are intended for such items.
Stowage compartment in the front centre armrest

Fig. 136 In the front centre armrest: stowage compartment.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
To open: lift the centre armrest ⇒ Fig. 136 .
To close: guide the centre armrest down.

WARNING
The centre armrest can obstruct the driver's arm movements. This can cause accidents and severe
injuries.

Injuries could be caused if the load-through hatch is folded forwards or backwards carelessly or in an
uncontrolled way.
Never fold the load-through hatch forwards or backwards while the vehicle is in motion.
Ensure that the seat belt is not trapped or damaged when folding back the load-through hatch.
Always keep hands, fingers, feet and other body parts away from the swivel area when folding the
load-through hatch forwards and backwards.
The load-through hatch has not been secured properly if the red marking can still be seen on the
locking indicator. Always ensure that the red marking is never visible when the load-through hatch is
in the upright position.
Passengers (children in particular) must not use this seat if the load-through hatch is folded forward
or is not engaged securely into place.
Roof carrier
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Securing roof carriers 
⇒ Loading roof carriers 
⇒ Notes on use 
Depending on the model, the vehicle may be designed for fitting a roof carrier.
Roof carriers can be used to transport bulky items on the roof of the vehicle.
If you are unsure whether a roof carrier can be fitted on your vehicle, please contact a specialist
workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Only roof carriers that have been approved by Volkswagen for the vehicle must be used.
If the vehicle is not approved for use with a roof carrier, do not use or retrofit a roof carrier.

WARNING
When transporting heavy or bulky objects on the roof carrier, the vehicle's handling will change due
to a shift in the centre of gravity and an increased susceptibility to crosswinds.
Always secure loads properly using suitable and undamaged lashing, retaining or securing straps.
Loads that are large, heavy, bulky, long or flat will have a negative effect on the vehicle
aerodynamics, centre of gravity and overall handling.
Avoid abrupt and sudden driving and braking manoeuvres.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.

If you park the trailer using the support wheel or other trailer supports, the trailer must be
unhitched from the vehicle. The vehicle could move up and down if the load changes or if there is
damage to the tyres, for example. If this happens, a great deal of force will be exerted on the towing
bracket and trailer, which could lead to damage to the vehicle and trailer.

If there is a fault in the vehicle or trailer electrical systems or in the anti-theft alarm, have the vehicle
checked by a qualified workshop.

If the 12-volt vehicle battery charge level is low, the electrical connection to the trailer will be
interrupted automatically.
Loading the trailer
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Trailer weight and drawbar load
The trailer weight is the weight that the vehicle can pull ⇒ .
The drawbar load is the load that is exerted vertically from above onto the ball head of the towing
bracket.
The figures for trailer weights and drawbar weights that are given on the data plate of the towing
bracket are for certification purposes only. The correct values for your specific model, which may be
lower than these figures, are given in the vehicle registration documents. All data in the official
vehicle documents take precedence over these data.
The maximum permitted drawbar load exerted by the trailer drawbar on the ball head of the towing
bracket must not exceed 80 kg.
In the interest of driving safety, Volkswagen recommends that you always use the maximum
drawbar load. The handling of the vehicle combination will be impaired if the drawbar load is too
low.
The drawbar load increases the weight on the rear axle and reduces the maximum payload of the
vehicle as a result.
Gross combination weight
The gross combination weight is made up of the actual weight of the loaded vehicle and of the
loaded trailer.
In some countries, trailers are divided into different classes. Volkswagen recommends that you
contact a qualified workshop to find out about suitable trailers.
Loading the trailer
The weight of the load should be distributed evenly. The maximum permitted drawbar load should
be utilised. Do not place the load only at the front or the rear of the trailer:

prior to downhill gradients (manual gearbox or Tiptronic mode of the
automatic gearbox) to additionally make use of engine braking. The brake system could otherwise
overheat and fail.
will change because of the
trailer load and the increased combined towing weight of the vehicle and trailer.
When driving with this combination, drive particularly carefully and slowly.
Pulling off on slopes when towing a trailer
Depending on the steepness of the uphill gradient and the total weight of the trailer and vehicle, a
vehicle towing a trailer could roll back a short distance when moving off on a hill.
When towing a trailer, pull off on slopes as follows:

once to switch off the electronic parking brake ⇒ Electronic parking brake .
ly.
⇒ Manual gearbox: selecting a gear  or selector lever position D/S⇒ DSG® dual
clutch gearbox .
button and hold it in this position to hold the vehicle and trailer with the electronic
parking brake.

button only when the engine has sufficient power to move off.

WARNING
Incorrect trailer towing can cause loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury.
and increase the braking distance.

pt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Reduce your speed, particularly when going downhill.

care when overtaking. Reduce your speed immediately if the trailer shows even the
slightest sign of snaking.

Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification number can be read from outside the vehicle through a viewer in the
windscreen ⇒ Fig. 216  (arrow). The viewer is located in the lower corner of the windscreen. The
vehicle identification number is also stamped on the right-hand water drainage channel. The water
drainage channel is located between the suspension turret and wing. Open the bonnet to gain
access to the vehicle identification number ⇒ In the engine compartment .
The vehicle identification number can be displayed in the Infotainment system using the button
and the and Service function buttons ⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays .
