¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
If you must tow a trailer, you must have the necessary electrical wiring and socket together with a
suitable trailer hitch installed. Because towing a trailer places a great deal of stress on the vehicle, the
attachment of a trailer to the vehicle and the dimensions of the receiver and ball mount are very
important so that the extra forces the vehicle has to withstand can be properly handled.
Depending on its equipment, certain parts required for the installation of a trailer hitch may already
have been installed at the factory. If your vehicle does not already have the preparation package
installed, your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service facility can install the
necessary parts and equipment including the proper trailer hitch for you.
The receiver used requires both a ball mount and a ball that meet special requirements regarding
geometry and size. This applies to both the height of the ball above the surface where it attaches
⇒ fig. 109 (A), and the pin-to-ball distance (B).
These dimensions are important because they help determine the way that the forces that arise during
towing are applied to the receiver and its attachments to the vehicle. If you buy a ball mount and ball,
make sure that they meet the following specifications.
Ball mount dimensions
x The drop heigh(A)t from the center of the ball to the center of the hole for the securing pin on the
7
ball mount must be at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) and at most 2 / inches (73 mm).
8
x The pin-to-ball distance(B ) from the center of the ball to the center of the hole for the securing pin
on the ball mount must be no more than 7 inches (178 mm).
x The ball diameter must be no more than 2 inches (51 mm).
Volkswagen recommends that you have an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility install the hitch receiver, electrical system and socket.
A ball mount and ball combination that does not meet these specifications can damage your vehicle
and may even fail in use ⇒ .
Never install a “weight distributing” or “load equalizing” trailer hitch on your vehicle. The vehicle is not
designed for this kind of trailer hitch ⇒ .
WARNING
An improperly installed or unsuitable trailer hitch can cause the trailer to separate from the
towing vehicle and result in a major accident with serious personal injuries.
x Have any trailer hitch retrofit or other work on a trailer hitch done by a qualified workhop. s
