Towing Specifications

Towing capacities for the Arteon Shooting Brake depend on the specific engine type and equipment. For braked and unbraked trailer limits, as well as maximum vertical load (nose weight), always refer to the vehicle handbook or VIN plate for precise values. This ensures towing remains within manufacturer-approved safety parameters.

Trailer Electrics Compatibility

The Arteon Shooting Brake supports modern trailer lighting requirements. For correct operation of indicators, brake lights, and rear fog lights, appropriate electrical integration is necessary. Vehicle systems may require programming or coding to enable full trailer detection and lamp monitoring, particularly for advanced safety features. Proper electrical connection is essential for compliance and road safety.

  • Automatic rear fog light deactivation when towing, subject to vehicle coding.
  • Integrates with onboard check control systems for trailer lamp monitoring.
  • When equipped with mild hybrid systems, confirm electrical compatibility for consistent system operation.

Installation Notes

  • Bumper cut may be required, depending on towbar type.
  • Careful fitment is necessary to maintain factory appearance.
