entire vehicle electrical system, which can lead to accidents and serious personal injury.
x Have any work on the electrical system done by an authorized Volkswagen dealeorr
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
x Never connect the electrical system for the trailer directly to the elecictral connections for

provide power to the trailer.
NOTICE
Never attach a trailer to the vehicle or leave it attached to the vehicle when the trailer is
supported by a trailer jack or blocks. Various things (such as a change in trailer or vehicle load
or a flat tire) can lower or raise the vehicle. This subjects the trailer hitch and the trailer to
strong forces that can damage the vehicle or the trailer.
Any problems with the vehicle's electrical system when attached to a trailer should be checked
by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
If the engine is switched off and accessories in the trailer are on and use electricity from the
vehicle, the vehicle battery will be drained as long as the electrical systems of the vehicle and the
trailer are connected.

Maximum permissible trailer weight and tongue weight
Maximum permissible trailer weight is the load that the vehicle can tow ⇒ . The tongue load or
tongue weight is the load pressing down on the trailer hitch ball mount ⇒ Ball mount.
The maximum permissible trailer weight and tongue weight for your vehicle are listed on in this
Manual.
The trailer load and tongue weight on the type identification plate for the trailer hitch are only test
values. The vehicle-specific figures are often lower than these values. In some countries, but generally
not in the United States, the vehicle-specific figures are listed in the official vehicle documents.
Specifications in official vehicle documents always take precedence.
To help ensure optimum handling and driving safety, Volkswagen recommends always using the
maximum permissible tongue weight. If the tongue weight is too low, the vehicle and trailer will not
handle as well.
Tongue weight increases the load on the rear axle and, in turn, reduces the remaining load your
vehicle can carry ⇒ Maximum permissible trailer weight.
Combined towing weight
Combined towing weight is the weight of the loaded towing vehicle plus the weight of the loaded
trailer.
