Tie-downs are located in the luggage compartment to secure loose objects and luggage with the help of lines, fixation belts or securing straps fig. 142.  
WARNING  
Unsuitable or damaged tie-down straps or tensioning straps could break during braking maneuvers or an accident. This could result in objects being thrown  
through the vehicle interior and causing serious or fatal injuries.  
Use only suitable and undamaged tie-downs, fixing and tensioning straps.  
Secure cords, fixation belts and tensioning straps diagonally and tightly across the items placed on the luggage compartment floor, and fasten the cords,  
fixation belts and tensioning straps securely to the tie-downs.  
Make sure that the upper edge of the load is above the tie-downs, especially on flat objects.  
Depending on the vehicle equipment, follow any signs about storing cargo in the luggage compartment.  
Never secure a child restraint to the tie-downs.  
WARNING  
Elastic tensioning straps must be stretched for securing to the tie-downs. The hooks attached to them can cause serious injuries.  
When securing elastic tensioning straps, always protect your eyes and face from injury.  
When securing, always hold the elastic tensioning straps securely so that they cannot slip off and rebound.  
Always secure elastic tensioning straps to the tie-downs in the front part of the luggage compartment first, then pull them to the loading edge and secure  
them to the tie-downs there. If the tensioning straps slip they will spring away from your body.  
Suitable straps and cargo securing systems are available from an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen  
recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Trailer towing  
Introduction

Driving a trailer not only increases the vehicle load, but requires more concentration from the driver.
