Things to note when driving with a trailer
• If the trailer has an overrun brake, apply the brakes gently at first and then firmly. This will pre-vent the jerking that can be caused by the trailer wheels locking.
• The combination weight causes the braking dis-tance to increase.
• Select a low gear before driving down a slope. This enables you to use the engine braking effect to slow down the vehicle. The brake system could otherwise overheat and fail.
• The vehicle's centre of gravity and, in turn, the vehicle's handling, will change because of the trail-er load and the increased combined towing weight of the vehicle and trailer.
• The weight distribution of a loaded trailer with an unladen towing vehicle is very unfavourable. When driving in this situation, drive particularly carefully and slowly.
Tachograph
In most European countries, a tachograph has to be installed in the vehicle and used if the gross combination weight rating of the vehicle and trailer is over 3,500 kg.
• Observe the legal requirements governing the use of tachographs.
Pulling off on slopes when towing a trailer
A vehicle towing a trailer is liable to roll back a short distance when moving off on a slope, de-pending on the angle of the slope and the total weight of the trailer and vehicle.
When towing a trailer, pull off on slopes as follows:
• Depress and hold the brake pedal.
• Manual gearbox: depress the clutch fully.
• Select first gear or D =:o page 260, Changing gears.
Trailer stabilisation
r-('n First read and observe the introductory L-J,:.U information and safety warnings & on page 139.
The trailer stabilisation function can de-
tect if an attached trailer is starting to
lurch from side to side and can provide
countersteer.
• Unlock hand brake and carefully release while holding down lock button. At the same time, gently depress the accelerator and, in a manual vehicle, release the clutch pedal, until you feel the vehicle moving forwards. If necessary, read the notes on the Hill Hold Assist function =:o page 282, Pull-away assist systems.
• Only let go of the handbrake lever when the en-gine has sufficient power to move off.
• Pull away slowly.
A WARNING
Incorrect trailer towing can cause loss of ve-hicle control and serious personal injury.
• Towing a trailer and transporting heavy or bulky items can change the way the vehicle handles and increase the braking distance.
• Always drive carefully and think ahead. Brake earlier than in normal driving.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con-ditions. Reduce your speed, particularly when going downhill.
• Accelerate carefully and gently. Avoid abrupt and sudden driving and braking ma-noeuvres.
• Take special care when overtaking. Re-duce your speed immediately if the trailer shows even the slightest sign of snaking.
• Never try to stop a trailer from snaking by increasing your speed.
• Always obey speed limits. In some areas speed limits for vehicles towing trailers are lower than for vehicles without trailers.
If, however, the effects of this snaking on the vehi-cle are detected via the ESC control unit, the vehi-cle is braked automatically by the ESC in order to stabilise the trailer. In this case the ABS indicator lamp flashes .,.

Non-authorised vehicle key
If a non-authorised vehicle key has been inserted in the ignition lock it can be removed as follows:
• Dual clutch gearbox, DSG®: vehicle key cannot be removed from the ignition lock in this position. Press the lock button in the selector lever and re-lease. The vehicle key can be removed.
• Manual gearbox: remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock.
Starting the engine
A WARNING
Careless or unsupervised use of the vehicle key can lead to accidents or Injuries.
• Always take all vehicle keys with you ev-ery time you leave the vehicle. The engine can be started and electrical equipment such as the window controls can be operated. This can cause serious Injury.
• Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone In the vehicle. They could become trapped In the vehicle in an emergen-cy and may not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low tempera-tures, according to season. This can cause serious Injuries and Illness or fatalities, espe-cially for small children.
• Never remove the vehicle key from the ig-nition lock when the vehicle Is In motion. The steering lock may be activated and you will no longer be able to steer the vehicle.
m In vehicles with the DSG® dual clutch W gearbox the vehicle key can only be re-moved from the Ignition lock if the selector lever is in position P. If necessary, press the lock button in the selector lever and then release it.
The steps should only be carried out In the specified order.

5. Release the vehicle key once the engine has started.
6. If the engine does not start, stop the procedure and repeat it after approximately one minute.
7. Release the handbrake if you wish to pull away =>page 269.
A WARNING
Never leave the engine running if you leave the vehicle unattended, particularly not if a gear or driving mode has been selected. The vehicle could move suddenly or something unexpected may happen that may cause damage, fire or serious injuries.
A WARNING
Start boosters may explode or suddenly cause the engine to run at high revs.
• Never use a start booster.
CD
• The starter and the engine could be dam-aged if you attempt to start the engine while the vehicle Is In motion or if the engine is started again immediately after it has been switched off.
Stopping the engine
CD
• When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and overloading the engine.
• Do not push-start or tow-start the vehicle. Unburnt fuel can damage the catalytic convert-er.
&-, Do not warm up the engine by running it W while the vehicle is stationary. Instead, pull off as soon as there is good visibility through the win· dows. This helps the engine to reach operating temperature more quickly and reduces emissions.
m Components with a high power consumption L!:J are switched off temporarily when the engine is started.
m When starting from cold, the engine may be a L!:J little noisy for the first few seconds. This is quite normal, and no cause for concern.
m At outside temperatures of less than L!:J +5oC (+41°F), fumes may be detected under a vehicle with a diesel engine if the fuel-powered supplementary heater is switched on.
The steps should only be carried out In the specified order.
1. The vehicle must be completely stationary => &.
2. Press the brake pedal. Keep it held down until step 4 has been completed.
3. In vehicles with a dual clutch gearbox DSG®, shift selector lever to position P.
4. Apply the handbrake =>page 269.
5. Turn the vehicle key to position =>Fig. 217 @.
6. In vehicles with a manual gearbox, select the first gear or the reverse gear =>page 263. .,.

A WARNING
Never switch off the engine while the vehicle Is In motion. This can lead to a loss of vehicle control, accidents and serious injuries.
• The alrbags and belt tensioners will not work If the Ignition Is switched off.
• The brake servo will not work when the engine Is switched off. That is why more pressure on the brake pedal is needed to stop the vehicle when the engine Is switched off.
• The power assisted steering will not work when the engine is not running. More power is needed to steer the vehicle when the en-gine Is switched off.
Electronic immobilizer
r-T'n First read and observe the Introductory L-Wl information and safety warnings & on page 257.
The immobilizer helps to prevent the engine from being started and driven with an unauthorised ve-hicle key.
There is a chip in the key. lt automatically deacti-vates the immobilizer when the vehicle key is in-serted into the ignition lock.
The electronic immobilizer is automatically activa-ted when the vehicle key is removed from the igni-tion lock.

If the vehicle has been driven at high load for a long period, the engine could overheat when it Is switched off. In order to avoid damage to the engine, allow the engine to run In neutral for approximately two minutes before switching lt off.
m In vehicles with DSG® dual clutch gearbox, W the vehicle key can only be removed from the ignition lock if the selector lever is in position P.
m After the engine is switched off, the radiator W fan in the engine compartment may run on for some minutes, even if the ignition is switched off or the vehicle key has been removed. The radi· ator fan will switch itself off automatically.
If a non-authorised vehicle key has been used, the display in the instrument cluster will show SAFE, or Immobilizer active!. The vehicle cannot be used if this occurs.
m The vehicle cannot be operated properly if W you do not have a genuine Volkswagen key.
