WARNING

Loading roof carriers
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Maximum permitted roof load
The maximum permitted roof load is 75 kg.
The roof load limit refers to the combined weight of the roof carrier and the load carried on the roof
⇒ .
Make sure you are aware of the weight of the roof carrier system and the load to be transported.
Weigh the load if necessary.
However, you will not be able to carry the maximum permitted roof load if you are using a roof
carrier with a lower load rating. In this case, do not exceed the maximum weight limit for the load
carrier system which is specified in the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Distributing the load
Distribute the load evenly and secure it correctly ⇒ .

WARNING
Accidents and significant vehicle damage can occur if the maximum permitted roof load is exceeded.
Never exceed the stated roof load, the maximum permissible axle loads, and the permissible gross
vehicle weight for the vehicle.
Do not exceed the load rating of the roof carrier, even if the maximum roof load has not been
reached.

WARNING
Loose and incorrectly secured loads can fall off the roof carrier and cause accidents and injuries.
Always use suitable and undamaged lashing, retaining or securing straps.

NOTICE
When opening the boot lid, take care not to let it hit the roof load.
Notes on use
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Remove the roof carrier in the following situations
The roof carrier is no longer needed.

Before driving through an automatic car wash.
The vehicle height exceeds the required clearance height, e.g. in a garage.

NOTICE
Always remove the roof carrier before driving through an automatic car wash.
The height of the vehicle is changed by the installation of a roof carrier and the load secured to it.
Check and compare the height of the vehicle with clearance heights, e.g. for underpasses and garage
doors.
The roof carrier and its load must not obstruct you from opening and closing the glass roof and the
boot lid. The roof aerial must also remain unaffected.

Driving with a fitted roof carrier will increase air resistance and thus increase fuel consumption.
Trailer towing
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Technical requirements 
⇒ Fitting the removable ball head 
⇒ Removing the ball head 
⇒ Notes on towing a trailer 
⇒ Loading the trailer 
⇒ Driving with a trailer 
⇒ Trailer stabilisation 
⇒ Retrofitting a towing bracket 
The vehicle can be used to tow a trailer if it has the required technical equipment for this. The
additional trailer load will affect the amount of wear, fuel consumption and performance of the
vehicle and, in certain circumstances, could shorten the service intervals.
Driving with a trailer not only places an extra load on the vehicle, but also requires increased
concentration on the part of the driver.
Vehicles with start/stop system
When using towing brackets that were not retrofitted by Volkswagen, the start/stop system must be
deactivated manually using the button in the centre console before towing a trailer, and it must
remain deactivated for as long as a trailer is being towed ⇒ .
