from owners manual to the vehicle VW Tiguan, year of production 2011:
This vehicle has not been designed to tow a Class II trailer and must never be retrofitted to tow a
Class II trailer. Always make sure that your vehicle has been designed to tow the trailer you want to
use and that it is legal to tow the trailer where you will be driving.
Loading the trailer
The weight distribution in the vehicle and trailer must be balanced. Use the maximum permissible
tongue weight and make sure that the load in the trailer is evenly distributed and that it is not front-
heavy or tail-heavy:
x Distribute the load in the trailer so that heavy objects are directly above the axle or as close as
possible to the axle.
x Secure loads properly on the trailer.
Tire pressure
Always follow the trailer manufacturer's tire pressure recommendations for the trailer tires.
When towing, inflate the towing vehicle's tires to the maximum permissible pressure listed on the tire
pressure label ⇒ Tires and wheels.
WARNING
Exceeding the gross weight ratings for axle, tongue, vehicle, trailer or combined weight can
cause accidents and serious personal injury.
x Never exceed the specified values.
x Never let the actual weights at the front and rear axles exceed the Gross Axle Weight
Rating. Never let the combined front and rear weights exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating.
WARNING
Trailer loads that are not properly secured can shift when the vehicle is moving or braking
and suddenly change the way the vehicle handles, causing accidents and severe injuries.
x Always load the trailer properly.
x Always secure the load propey rlwith suitable, undamaged straps that can be tightened so
that the load cannot shift.
Driving with a trailer
¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
Headlight settings
Towing a trailer can raise the front end of the vehicle enough for the low beams to blind other road
users. If your vehicle does not have headlight range adjustment, have the headlights adjusted by an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Vehicles with Xenon
headlights self-adjust to vehicle load and do not need manual adjustment.
Special towing considerations
x If the trailer has anov errun brake, apply the brakes gently at first and then firmly. This helps to
prevent sudden brake shock and helps prevent trailer wheels from locking up.
x Due to the combined towing weight including the higher gross vehicle weight, the stopping distance
is longer.
