Volkswagen Touran Owners Manual: Driving with an open tailgate
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings
Driving with an open tailgate is
particularly dangerous. All objects and the open tailgate must be secured properly.
Take the appropriate measures to reduce the amount of poisonous exhaust fumes that
could enter into the vehicle.

WARNING
Driving with an unlocked or open tailgate can cause serious injuries.
- Always drive with the tailgate closed.
- Always stow all items in the luggage compartment securely. Loose items could
fall out of the luggage compartment and injure other road users.
- Always drive especially carefully and think ahead.
- Avoid any abrupt or sudden driving and braking manoeuvres as this could
cause the open tailgate to move unpredictably.
- If objects protrude from your luggage compartment, draw the attention of
other road users to them. Observe legal requirements.
- If items protrude out of the luggage compartment, never use the tailgate
to hold them in position.
- If you drive with the tailgate open, you must remove any racks and luggage
from the tailgate.

WARNING
Poisonous exhaust fumes could enter the vehicle interior if the tailgate is open.
This could result in loss of consciousness, carbon monoxide poisoning, serious injury
and accidents.
- Always drive with the tailgate closed in order to prevent poisonous gases
from entering the vehicle.
- If exceptional circumstances require you to drive with an open tailgate,
you must do the following to reduce the amount of poisonous exhaust fumes that
could enter into the vehicle:
- Close all windows and the panoramic sliding roof.
- Switch off air recirculation mode.
- Open all vents in the dash panel.
- Switch the blowers to the highest setting.

NOTICE
The vehicle length and height are different when the tailgate is open.
