  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. 

Loading the trailer 

¤

 Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS 

 

 

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. 

The maximum permissible trailer weight and tongue weight for your vehicle are listed on, 

Maximum 

permissible trailer weight

 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, 

Determining the correct load limit

. 

Combined towing weight 

Combined towing weight is the weight of the loaded towing vehicle plus the weight of the loaded 
trailer. 

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
