Trailer mode
In vehicles with a factory-fitted towing
bracket and a trailer with an electrical con-
nection to the vehicle, the display of road
signs that may apply to the vehicle when
towing a trailer, e.g. applicable speed limits
and no-overtaking signs, can be activated or
deactivated in the vehicle settings in the In-
fotainment system

When the hazard warning lights are switched
on, f
or example if you are being towed, you

cles driving in front are detected. Main-beam
control normally also recognises illuminated
areas such as towns and deactiv
ates main
beam while driving through them.
Within the limits of the system, main-beam
control automatically switches the main
beam on or off depending on the environ-
mental and traffic conditions and on the driv-

electrical system and to the high-voltage
battery.
Driving with an open boot lid
Driving with an open boot lid is particularly
dangerous. All objects and the open boot lid
must be secured properly and suitable meas-
ures taken.
Driving with an open boot lid increases the
air resistance of the v
ehicle and thus also the
energy consumption of the electric drive.
This considerably reduces the possible range
of the vehicle. Volkswagen does not recom-
mend driving with the boot lid open due to
the resulting reduction in range. WARNING
Driving with an unlocked or open boot lid
can cause serious injuries.
x Always driv

e with the boot lid closed.
x Always stow all items in the luggage
compartment securely. Loose objects
can fall out of the luggage compartment
and injure other road users.
x Always drive carefully and ensure that
you think ahead.
x Avoid any abrupt or sudden driving and
braking manoeuvres as this can cause
the open boot lid to move unpredictably.
x Any objects protruding from the luggage
compartment must be marked to ensure
that they are visible to other road users.
Observe the legal requirements.
x Any objects protruding from the luggage
compartment must never be held in po-
sition by the boot lid.
x If it is necessary to drive with the boot
lid open, all luggage racks and cargo
stowed on the rack must be removed
from the boot lid. NOTICE
The vehicle height, and possibly the length,
are diff
erent when the boot lid is open. Driving through water on
roads
Please f

ollow these rules to help prevent
damage to your vehicle when driving through
water, for example if the road is flooded:
