WARNING
Elastic tensioning straps must be stretched
to attach to the fastening rings. The hooks
attached to them can cause serious injuries.
x Always protect eyes and face from injury
when attaching elastic tensioning straps.
x Always hold elastic tensioning straps se-
curely when fastening so that they can-
not slip off and rebound.
x Always fasten the elastic tensioning
straps first to the fastening rings in the
front area of the luggage compartment,
then pull them towards the loading sill
and fasten them to the fastening rings
there. If the tension straps slip off
, they
will snap away from the body. Suitable lashing, retaining or securing
straps and luggage securing systems
are a

vailable from qualified workshops.
Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen
dealership for this purpose. Luggage net
Fig. 132
In the luggage compartment: luggage
net fitted flat.
The luggage net can help to pre

vent light
items of cargo from sliding around in the lug-
gage compartment. The luggage net also has
a built-in pocket with a zip that can hold
smaller items. Hooking the luggage net flat on the luggage
compartment floor

x
A void abrupt and sudden driving and
braking manoeuvres.
x Always adapt your speed and driving
style to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions. WARNING
A roof carrier that has not been appro
ved
for the vehicle or a roof carrier that is fitted
to a vehicle that is not approved for use
with a roof carrier may cause accidents or
injuries.
x Use only roof carriers that have been ap-
proved by Volkswagen for your vehicle.
x Never use a roof carrier on a vehicle that
has not been approved for use with
a roof carrier.
x A roof carrier that is fitted nevertheless
may become loose whilst the vehicle is
in motion and fall from the vehicle roof. NOTICE
Securing a roof carrier of any kind to a vehicle
that is not appro
ved for use with a roof carri-
er may lead to severe damage to the vehicle. Driving with a fitted roof carrier in-
creases the air resistance of the v

ehi-
cle and thus also the energy consumption of
the electric drive. This reduces the possible
range of the vehicle considerably. This ap-
plies to all roof carriers and the objects trans-
ported on them, e.g. bicycles and skis. Securing roof carriers
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 262.
Special roof carriers must be used to trans-
port luggage, bicycles, skis, surfboards or
boats saf

DANGER
It is dangerous to transport people in
a trailer and it may also be illegal. WARNING
Improper use of the towing bracket can
lead to a loss of v ehicle control, accidents
and serious injuries.
x Only use the towing bracket if it is fitted
properly and is not damaged.
x Do not carry out any alterations or re-
pairs to the towing bracket.
x Wherever possible, swivel in or remove
the ball coupling when a trailer is not
being used in order to reduce the risk of
injury in rear-end collisions, and the risk
of injury to pedestrians and cyclists
when the vehicle is parked.
x Never install a “weight-distributing” or
“load-balancing” towing bracket to the
vehicle. The vehicle was not constructed
for these kinds of towing brackets. The
towing bracket can fail, causing the
trailer to tear loose from the vehicle. WARNING
Towing a trailer and transporting heavy or
bulky items can change the v
ehicle han-
dling, increase the braking distance and
lead to accidents.
x Always secure loads properly using suit-
able and undamaged lashing, retaining
or securing straps.
x Always adapt your speed and driving
style to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions. Reduce your speed,
particularly when going downhill.
x Trailers with a high centre of gravity are
more likely to tip over than trailers with
a low centre of gravity.
x Always drive carefully and think ahead.
Accelerate carefully and gently. Avoid
abrupt and sudden driving and braking
manoeuvres. x
Take special care when o
vertaking. Re-
duce your speed immediately if the trail-
er shows even the slightest sign of snak-
ing.
x Never drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph) when towing a trailer; also
100 km/h (60 mph) in exceptional cases.
This also applies to countries where
higher speeds are permitted. Keep to
country-specific speed limits which may
be lower for vehicles with trailers than
for vehicles without trailers.
x Never try to stop a trailer from snaking
by increasing your speed.
x Never install a “weight-distributing” or
“load-balancing” towing bracket on the
vehicle. NOTICE
Please observe the notes and information for
v
ehicles with N1 approval
