Your vehicle may be equipped with a trailer package.
For technical reasons:
A vehicle with a dead battery must never be towed. Jump-start the vehicle instead.
It is not possible to tow-start or push-start your vehicle⇒ . Jump-start the vehicle
instead.
Vehicles with Keyless Access may only be towed with the ignition on.
Towing the vehicle when the engine is turned off and the ignition is turned on drains the vehicle bat‐
tery. Depending on the charge level of the vehicle battery, it is possible that even after just a few min‐
utes, electrical devices such as the emergency flashers may not have the power necessary to func‐
tion. The steering wheel might lock in vehicles with Keyless Access ⇒ .
WARNING
Never tow a vehicle without any electrical power.
Never remove the key from the ignition switch or turn off the ignition with the starter button
while the vehicle is moving or rolling to a stop. The electronic steering column could suddenly
lock, you would not be able to steer, and you could lose control of the vehicle, crash, and seri‐
ously injure yourself and others.
If the vehicle loses power while it is being towed, stop towing the vehicle immediately and con‐
tact your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for
assistance.
WARNING
Towing a vehicle changes the way it handles and brakes. To help reduce the risk of an accident
and serious personal injury, note the following:
The driver of the vehicle that is being towed:
Since the brake booster also does not work when the engine is stopped, you will need to
press harder on the brake pedal to slow down or stop. Always be alert so as not to rear-
end the towing vehicle.
Will have to use considerably more force to turn the steering wheel because the power
steering is not working.
