Foreword

(Edition 10.2014)

The content of this guide has been divided into two section.

The first section contains information and important tips about “towing a trailer”. For example, technical requirements for towing or the function of the towing control module are described.

The second section contains tables that list towing weights, including braked, unbraked and tongue weight, grouped according to engine. If possible, the requirements that must be met before the towing weight may be increased are also explained.

Volkswagen vehicles are designed according to high safety standards.

We recommend to use only replacement parts identified as Original Volkswagen parts. These parts are known to be reliable, safe and suitable.

Other parts on the market have not been assessed according to these standards. This includes parts that may have TÜV approval or that are licensed. The vehicle manufacturer is not liable if such parts are installed.

Legal Requirements outside Germany

Follow all country-specific laws and regulations. Contact the importer if questions arise.
