Volkswagen Tiguan Owners Manual: Stowing luggage

Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒Introduction to the subject 

Always stow all luggage securely in the vehicle

• Distribute the load in the vehicle and in the trailer as evenly as possible.

• Put heavy objects as far forward as possible in the luggage compartment and securely latch the rear seat backrest in the upright position.

• Secure luggage in the luggage compartment to the tie-downs with suitable straps ⇒ Luggage compartment .

• Adjust the headlight range ⇒ Lights .

• Check the pressure in all four tires when the tires are still cold. Never reduce air pressure in warm tires to match cold tire inflation pressure. Heed the information on the tire pressure label ⇒ Tires and wheels .

• Pay especially close attention to your vehicle's Tire Pressure Monitoring System when driving with a heavy load ⇒ Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) .

Note

The defroster heating wires or antenna in the rear window can be damaged by objects that rub against them.
