MY CAR USER MANUAL

Luggage compartment for Your Volkswagen Tayron SUV First Generation (2018-2025)

Stowing luggage safely in the vehicle  
—Always distribute any loads in the vehicle as evenly as possible. Do not cover any ventilation openings.  
—Always stow luggage and heavy objects in the luggage compartment and place them as far forwards as possible →  
—Observe gross axle weight ratings and the gross vehicle weight rating .  
.
—Secure luggage in the luggage compartment to the fastening rings using suitable fixing and securing straps.  
—Also stow small objects safely.  
—If necessary, fold back the rear seat backrest and engage it securely.  
—If necessary, adjust the headlight range. Vehicles with dynamic headlight range control adapt automatically to the load.  
—Adjust the tyre pressure according to the vehicle load. Observe the tyre pressure sticker (→ Tyre pressure).  
—If necessary, adapt the tyre monitoring system to the new load level.  
WARNING  
Objects or animals that are not secured or are secured incorrectly can cause serious or fatal injuries in the event of a sudden driving  
or braking manoeuvre or accident. This applies particularly if objects are struck when the airbag is triggered and then flung through  
the vehicle interior.  
● Always stow all objects in the vehicle securely. Observe legal requirements when doing this.  
● Stow items in the vehicle interior in such a way that they can never enter the airbag deployment zones while the vehicle is in  
motion.  
● Secure animals in the vehicle using a system that is suitable for their weight and size.  
● Always keep stowage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion.  
● Do not stow any hard, heavy or sharp objects loose in any of the vehicle’s open stowage areas, on the surface behind the rear seat  
backrest or on the dash panel.  
● Remove any hard, heavy or sharp objects from items of clothing and bags inside the vehicle and stow them securely in the luggage  
compartment.  
WARNING  
If an incorrect sitting position is assumed due to stowed objects, serious or fatal injuries can occur in the event of sudden driving and  
braking manoeuvres and in accidents.  
● Never stow objects on a seat if this is to be occupied and used by a person.  
WARNING  
Transporting heavy objects changes the vehicle’s handling due to the change in the centre of gravity and increases the braking  
distance. Heavy loads that are not properly stowed or secured can change the vehicle handling, e.g. as a result of the load slipping.  
This can lead to loss of control over the vehicle and cause serious or fatal injuries.  
● Never overload the vehicle. Both the load and the distribution of the load in the vehicle will have an effect on the driving response  
and braking distance of the vehicle.  
● Always distribute the load evenly and as low down as possible in the vehicle.  
● Always stow heavy items in the luggage compartment as far as possible in front of the rear axle.  
● Secure loose objects to prevent them from slipping.  
● Always adapt your speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather and road or traffic conditions.  
● Accelerate particularly carefully and gently.  
● Avoid sudden braking and driving manoeuvres.  
● Brake earlier than usual if the vehicle is heavily loaded.  
NOTICE  
Rubbing objects on the rear windows can cause damage, e.g. to the heating conductors of the rear window heating.  
● Load the luggage compartment only up to a height where no objects are in contact with the rear windows.  
NOTICE  
Carrier systems that are fixed on the rear spoiler can damage the vehicle.  
● Do not secure any luggage carriers or other carrier systems such as bicycle carriers on the vehicle’s rear spoiler.

● Never transport a person, particularly a child, on this seat if the load-through hatch is folded forward or not securely engaged.  
The vehicle can be used to tow a trailer if it has the required technical equipment for this.  
Driving with a trailer not only places an extra load on the vehicle, but also requires increased concentration on the part of the driver.  
The additional trailer load will affect the amount of wear, fuel consumption and performance of the vehicle and, in certain  
circumstances, could shorten the service intervals.  
If the vehicle is driven under high loads, certain functions, e.g. the output of the air conditioning system, may be reduced or switched  
off to stop the vehicle from breaking down. Avoid long or steep uphill gradients. The engine torque may be reduced temporarily if the  
vehicle is driven under load for an extended time in order to avoid overheating of the engine or gearbox. Reduce your speed and  
observe the messages and illuminated warning and indicator lamps in the instrument cluster. The reduction in engine torque will be  
cancelled when the engine and gearbox are operating in the optimum temperature range again.  
The load that a vehicle can actually pull decreases under the following conditions:  
—Driving on uphill gradients.  
—Driving at high altitudes.  
—Driving at high outside temperatures.  
—Driving with a fully loaded vehicle, e.g. with passengers and luggage.  
—With increasing speed.  
Vehicles with start/stop system  
When using towing brackets that were not retrofitted by Volkswagen, the start/stop system must be deactivated manually before  
towing a trailer, and it must remain deactivated for as long as a trailer is being towed (→ Start/stop system).  
Trailer with function check for lighting  
No trailer with tail lights and brake lights must be operated with this vehicle that requires a function check of the tail and brake lights  
in its approval. Ask the trailer manufacturer about the approval that is valid for your trailer.  
Unused ball coupling  
Swivel in the ball coupling or remove it if there is no trailer, bicycle carrier or similar attached to the ball coupling. This applies in  
particular if the unused ball coupling covers the number plate or the lighting at the rear of the vehicle. Observe the country-specific  
regulations on use of a towing bracket →  
.
Points to note  
Before driving with a trailer, pay attention to possible functional restrictions of the assist and parking systems.  
DANGER  
It is dangerous to transport people in a trailer and it may also be illegal.  
● Never transport people in a trailer.  
WARNING  
Improper use of the towing bracket can lead to a loss of vehicle control, accidents and serious or fatal injuries.  
● Attach and use the trailer in accordance with the instructions supplied by the respective manufacturer.  
● Use the towing bracket only if it is undamaged and fitted correctly.  
● Do not carry out any alterations or repairs to the towing bracket. If required by the trailer manufacturer’s installation instructions,  
removal of the coating on the ball head is permitted.  
WARNING  
When the ball coupling is swivelled out, there is an increased risk of accidents and serious injuries for pedestrians and cyclists when  
vehicles are parked and also in the event of rear-end collisions.
