Obey country-specific requirements about trailer towing and trailer hitches. 

Volkswagen does not recommend installing a trailer hitch on your vehicle. Your Volkswagen was 
mainly designed for carrying passengers. If you plan to tow a trailer, please remember your vehicle will 
be performing a job for which it was not primarily intended. The additional load will affect durability, 
handling, fuel economy, and performance, and may require the vehicle to be serviced more often. 

Trailer towing not only places more stress on the vehicle, it calls for more concentration from the 
driver. Always follow the operating and driving instructions given, and use common sense. 

Under winter conditions, install winter tires on the vehicle 

and

 the trailer. 

Tongue weight 

The 

maximum

 permissible trailer tongue weight exerted on the ball mount must not exceed 

165 lbs 

(75 kg)
