Volkswagen Golf / Golf GTI / Jetta. Manual - part 1212

converter is at operating temperature. Otherwise unburnt 
fuel may pass into catalytic converter and cause damage.   
 

 

When towing a vehicle with automatic transmission 
following additional points must be observed:

Selector lever must be in "N" position.  
 
Do not tow vehicle faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).   
 
Do not tow further than 30 miles (50 km).   
 

 

If towing over greater distances, vehicle must be 
suspended at front.

 

Reason: When engine is not running transmission oil pump 
is not working and transmission is not adequately 
lubricated for high speeds or long distances.

 

Using a breakdown vehicle, vehicle may only be towed 
suspended at front.

 

Reason: If given a rear suspended tow, drive shafts turn 
backward. This would cause planetary gears in automatic 
transmission to achieve such a high rpm that transmission 
would be heavily damaged within a very short time.

For vehicles with all wheel drive:

 

 

Using a breakdown vehicle vehicle may be towed 
suspended at front or rear.

Note: 

Do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph (50 km/h).   
 
Maximum towing distance is 30 miles (50 km).   
 

Note: 

If normal towing of vehicle is not possible, vehicle must be 
transported on a special transporter or trailer. This is also 
valid for distances greater than 30 miles (50 km).
