WARNING
The start/stop system must always be switched off manually when towing a trailer using towing
brackets that have not been retrofitted by Volkswagen. Otherwise faults can occur in the brake
system, possibly resulting in accidents and serious injuries.

NOTICE
Observe the instructions and information for vehicles with an N1 approval ⇒ Information about
vehicles with N1 approval (light commercial vehicle) .

Always switch off the anti-theft alarm before a trailer is hitched or unhitched or a bicycle carrier is
loaded or unloaded ⇒ Anti-theft alarm . The tilt sensor could otherwise trigger an alarm
unintentionally.

With a new engine, do not tow a trailer during the first 1,000 km ⇒ Running in the engine .

Some retrofitted towing brackets may cover the aperture for fitting the towing eye. If so, the towing
eye cannot be used for towing or tow-starting other vehicles. For this reason, the removed ball head
of a retrofitted towing bracket should be kept in the vehicle at all times.
Technical requirements
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Cooling system
There is an increased load on the engine and the cooling system when towing a trailer. The cooling
system must contain sufficient coolant and be able to cope with the extra load due to trailer towing.
Trailer brake
If the trailer is equipped with its own brake system, comply with the relevant regulations.
Trailer tail light clusters
The trailer tail light clusters must work correctly and meet legal requirements. Do not exceed the
maximum power consumption for the trailer.
Exterior mirrors
If you are unable to see the traffic behind the trailer using the vehicle's standard exterior mirrors,
additional exterior mirrors should be fitted in accordance with any country-specific regulations.
Before setting off, adjust the exterior mirrors so that you have a sufficient view towards the rear.

The Volkswagen dealership cannot be held liable for any damage caused by technical modifications
and/or work performed incorrectly.
The Volkswagen dealership is not responsible for damage caused by technical modifications and/or
work performed incorrectly. Such damage is not covered by the Volkswagen guarantee.

Vehicles with special body equipment or add-on parts
The manufacturers of body equipment and add-on parts must ensure that the body equipment and
add-on parts (conversions) adhere to the applicable environmental laws and regulations, particularly
the EU directive 2000/53/EC concerning end-of-life vehicles and EU directive 2003/11/EC concerning
the restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations.
The vehicle owner should keep all assembly documentation for these conversions, and pass it on to
the disassembly company upon vehicle handover if the vehicle is scrapped. This is designed to
facilitate environmentally friendly disposal for all vehicles, including converted vehicles.
Windscreen repairs
To function properly, some items of equipment require an electrical or electronic module, which is
located on the inside of the windscreen near the interior mirror. If the windscreen has been
damaged in the viewing field of the electrical or electronic module, e.g. by stone impact, the
windscreen must be replaced. Repairing the crack can lead to malfunctions or faults in the
equipment.
After changing the windscreen, the camera and sensors must be set up and calibrated by a qualified
workshop.
Impairment or damage to sensors and cameras
Incorrectly performed repairs, structural changes to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the suspension,
retrofitted add-on parts or changes to the trim can lead to sensors and cameras being displaced or
damaged. This can also be caused by collisions, e.g. when parking, or also even by minor damage,
e.g. stone impacts on the windscreen.
Failure to observe this point may impair important functions (driver assist systems) and damage the
vehicle.
