The handling characteristics of the vehicle are restricted when towing a trailer and demand greater attention from the driver.
Trailer operation places increased demands on the cooling system. Any necessary reconstruction measures to the cooling system
must be ascertained by contractual workshops. The "Trailer Operation" guide contains additional information.
lMPORTANT:
The coupling ball with bracket is a safety component and must only be attached by
a properly qualified person. If replacement parts are needed, these should be attached to the undamaged original part
only by a properly qualified person. Components may be exchanged or replaced only by an authorized VW or Audi workshop.
Modifications of the coupling ball with bracket are forbidden.
Any modifications will nullify the type approval.
The coupling ball with bracket including all the parts for fitting weighs 17,6 kg. Please note that the unladen weight of your vehicle
is increased by this amount after fitting the coupling ball with bracket.
The ball head should always be kept clean and slightly greased.
However, if track stabilization equipment is used, the ball coupling must be grease- free. Please follow information given in the
respective operating instructions.
The diameter of the ball head should be inspected from time to time. As soon as a diameter of 49 mm is reached at any time,
the coupling ball and bracket must not longer be used for safety reasons.
Note:
Underseal coating, cavity protection (wax) or sound insulation material must be removed in the area of the contact surfaces
between the towing hitch and the vehicle. Remove any drilling swarf and treat exposed metallic body parts (e.g. drilled holes)
with antirust paint.
