Pro Tech Tips for Towing Your Super Beetle

Tip 1: Supplement with Safety Chains. While the pin and clip system is robust, always use high-quality safety chains crossed under the tow bar. This provides a critical secondary connection between the tow vehicle and your Super Beetle in the event of a coupler failure.

Tip 2: Unlock the Steering Column. For the vehicle to track correctly behind the tow vehicle, the steering must be unlocked. Ensure the key is in the ignition and turned to the "off" or "accessory" position (not "lock") and verify the transmission is in neutral before departing.

Tip 3: Inspect Mounting Hardware Regularly. The vibration from road travel can loosen fasteners over time. Check the torque on the mounting plate bolts and the integrity of the 22-3/4 inch tab connections before every trip to ensure a secure and wobble-free towing experience.
