Always make sure that the safety chains are properly attached to the towing vehicle. Leave enough
slack in the chains so that you can go around corners without stretching the chains. The safety chains
must not drag on the ground.
The trailer is connected to the anti-theft alarm (if equipped):
When the vehicle has a factory-installed anti-theft alarm and a factory-installed trailer hitch.
When the trailer is electrically connected to the towing vehicle via the trailer socket.
When the vehicle and trailer electric systems are working properly, fault-free and undamaged.
When the vehicle is locked with the remote control vehicle key and the anti-theft alarm is active.
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm will be triggered as soon as the electrical connection to the
trailer is interrupted.
Always switch off the anti-theft alarm when a trailer is being hitched or unhitched. The tilt sensor could
otherwise trigger the alarm unnecessarily.
WARNING
Improper connections to the vehicle electrical system can cause malfunctions that affect the en‐
tire vehicle electrical system, which can lead to accidents and serious personal injury.
Have any work on the electrical system done by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or autho‐
rized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Never connect the electrical system for the trailer directly to the electrical connections for the
rear lights or to any other unsuitable power sources. Use only a suitable connector to provide
power to the trailer.
NOTE
Never attach a trailer to the vehicle or leave it attached to the vehicle when the trailer is sup‐
ported by a trailer jack or blocks. Various things (such as a change in trailer or vehicle load or a
flat tire) can lower or raise the vehicle. This subjects the trailer hitch and the trailer to strong
forces that can damage the vehicle or the trailer.
Any problems with the vehicle's electrical system when attached to a trailer should be checked by
an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
