Volkswagen Touran Owners Manual: Notes on towing
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings 
Tow-rope or tow-bar
It is easier and safer to tow a vehicle with a tow-bar. Only use a tow-rope if you do not have a tow-bar.
A tow-rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the loading on both vehicles. It is advisable to use a tow-rope made of synthetic fibre or similarly elastic material.
Only attach the tow-rope or tow-bar to the specially provided towing eyes or to the towing bracket.
Vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket must be towed only with a tow-bar that is specially designed for fitting to a ball coupling   .
Towing vehicles which have an automatic gearbox
Observe the following points for the towed vehicle:
- Move the selector lever to N.
- Do not drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) when towing a vehicle.
- Do not tow further than 50 km.
- If a breakdown truck is used, the vehicle must be towed with the front wheels raised.
When should you not tow-start the vehicle?
The vehicle may not be towed and must be transported on a special transporter or trailer when the following conditions apply:
- If, due to damage, the vehicle gearbox no longer contains any lubricant.
- If the distance to be towed is further than 50 km - applies to vehicles with an automatic gearbox only.
Notes on push-starting
