Offroad display
The offroad display contains digital instruments that show additional information about the vehicle
and its surroundings. This makes it possible to assess the current driving situation more precisely.

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Centre of gravityThe centre of gravity of a vehicle influences its propensity to roll over. The vehicle
has greater ground clearance for offroad driving, and thus a higher centre of gravity than a normal
vehicle. The high centre of gravity means that there is a greater danger of roll-over when driving.
Always remember this fact when driving and follow the safety tips and warnings given in this
owner's manual.Ground clearanceThis is the vertical distance between the ground and the lowest
item on the vehicle underbody.Angle of gradientThe number of metres in height gained over a
distance of 100 m is given as a percentage or degree Fig. 113
vehicle can drive up under its own power. This depends on aspects such as the road surface and
engine power.Tilt angleMaximum angle at which the vehicle may be driven across a slope without
the vehicle tipping over (determined by centre of gravity) Fig. 114
permitted angle given in degrees that a vehicle driven at low speed can clear a ramp without the
underbody of the vehicle scraping the ramp.Ramp angleCrossover from the horizontal level surface
to an uphill gradient, or from a downhill gradient back to the level surface. Angle up to which the
vehicle bottoms with the underbody on the ramp edge.Fall lineThis is the vertical drop
route.ArticulationThe articulation capability of the vehicle when driving over objects with just one
side of the vehicle.
Checklist before driving offroad
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings

Hook the retaining straps onto the boot lid Fig. 146(upper arrows).

WARNING
Objects that are not secured or secured incorrectly or animals on the luggage compartment cover
may cause severe injuries in the event of sudden driving or braking manoeuvres or accidents.
Do not stow any hard, heavy or sharp items on the luggage compartment cover either loosely or in
bags.
Do not transport animals on the luggage compartment cover.

NOTICE
To prevent damage to the luggage compartment cover, do not load the luggage compartment to
such a height that the luggage compartment cover presses against the load when the boot lid is
closed.

Opening the luggage compartment floor
Grip the recessed handle in the luggage compartment floor Fig. 147and lift it upwards.

The vehicle height exceeds the required clearance height, e.g. in a garage.

NOTICE
Always remove the roof carrier before driving through an automatic car wash.
The height of the vehicle is changed by the installation of a roof carrier and the load secured to it.
Check and compare the height of the vehicle with clearance heights, e.g. for underpasses and garage
doors.
The roof carrier and its load must not obstruct you from opening and closing the glass roof and the
boot lid. The roof aerial must also remain unaffected.

Driving with a fitted roof carrier will increase air resistance and thus increase fuel consumption.
Trailer towing
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Technical requirements
Fitting the removable ball head
Removing the ball head
Notes on towing a trailer
Loading the trailer
Driving with a trailer
Trailer stabilisation
Retrofitting a towing bracket
The vehicle can be used to tow a trailer if it has the required technical equipment for this. The
additional trailer load will affect the amount of wear, fuel consumption and performance of the
vehicle and, in certain circumstances, could shorten the service intervals.
Driving with a trailer not only places an extra load on the vehicle, but also requires increased
concentration on the part of the driver.
Vehicles with start/stop system
When using towing brackets that were not retrofitted by Volkswagen, the start/stop system must be
deactivated manually using the button in the centre console before towing a trailer, and it must
remain deactivated for as long as a trailer is being towed
