The table shows the fuse locations of the electrical consumers relevant for the driver. The first
column in the table contains the location. The other columns contain the fuse type, the amp rating
and the consumer protected by the fuse.
Depending on the market and specification of your vehicle, the fuse numbers and positions may
differ to those given in the table. If necessary, ask your Volkswagen dealership for the exact fuse

⇒ Tow-starting 
⇒ Towing 
⇒ Fitting the rear towing eye 
⇒ Fitting the front towing eye 
Towing requires some experience, especially when using a tow rope. Both drivers should be familiar
with the technique required for towing. Inexperienced drivers should not attempt to tow.
Ensure that no excessive pulling forces occur and take care to avoid jerking movements. When
towing offroad, there is always a risk of overloading the anchorage points.
Observe any legal requirements when towing or tow-starting.
Tow-starting
Tow-starting describes the procedure for starting the vehicle by moving it using another towing
vehicle.
The vehicle can be tow-started with a tow-bar or a tow-rope.
Towing
Towing is where a vehicle that cannot be driven is pulled with the aid of another vehicle.
The vehicle can be towed with a tow-bar or a tow-rope. When the engine is stopped, the gearbox is
not lubricated sufficiently at higher speeds and over long distances:
km/h (30 mph).
km.
Tow rope, tow bar
It is easier and safer to tow a vehicle with a tow bar. Use a tow rope only if you do not have a tow
bar.
The tow rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the strain on both vehicles. It is advisable to use a
tow rope made of synthetic fibre or similarly elastic material.
Towing with a tow truck
If your vehicle is to be raised on one axle for towing, this may only be done using the following axles
according to the gearbox/drive combination:
Front-wheel drive
Manual gearboxFront or rear axleAutomatic gearboxFront axle

WARNING
If a vehicle is being towed, the vehicle handling and braking efficiency will change significantly.

WARNING
Never tow a vehicle that has no power supply.
assistance.

NOTICE
When pushing the vehicle by hand, do not press on the tail light clusters, the side spoilers on the
rear window, the rear spoiler or large panels. This could damage the vehicle and the rear spoiler
could become detached.

NOTICE
Remove and install the cover and the towing eye carefully so as to avoid damage to the vehicle, e.g.
the paintwork.
Notes on tow-starting and towing
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
It is still possible to activate the turn signals in a vehicle that is being towed, even if the hazard
warning lights are switched on. To do this, operate the turn signal lever in the required direction
while the ignition is switched on. The hazard warning lights will not flash while the turn signal is
being used. The hazard warning lights will start flashing again automatically as soon as the turn
signal lever is moved back to the neutral position.
When should your vehicle not be tow-started or towed?

If the vehicle cannot be towed on its own four wheels due to one of the above conditions, seek
expert assistance and have the vehicle transported on a recovery vehicle if necessary.
Tow-starting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Preparations for tow-starting
Vehicles with an automatic gearbox:

For technical reasons, your vehicle must not be tow-started. Attempt to start the engine by jump
starting ⇒ Jump starting .
Vehicles with a manual gearbox:
Tow-starting is generally not recommended. If the engine does not start, first attempt to start the
engine by jump starting ⇒ Jump starting . Please note that the maximum tow-starting distance for
petrol engines is 50 m.
