Synchronizing the remote control vehicle key

WARNING
Improper use of power windows can result in serious personal
injury.
Never let anyone get in the way of a power window when
closing it.
When locking the vehicle from the outside, make sure that no
one, especially children, remains in the vehicle. The windows
will not open in case of an emergency.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. You
can still use the power windows for several minutes after the
ignition is switched off as long as the driver or front passenger
door has not been opened.
Always use the safety switch when children are in the back
seat to disable the rear power windows and keep them from be-
ing opened and closed.
NOTICE
The windows must go down slightly when you unlock the vehi-
cle. Otherwise the windows and seals could be damaged when
opening the doors.
If the power windows malfunction, the one-touch feature, as well
as pinch protection may not work properly. See an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility right
away.
Power window pinch protection

If the window meets resistance a second time, so that it stops and
goes back down, one-touch closing is deactivated for about
10 seconds.
If you pull the power window button up all the way and hold it dur-
ing this 10 second interval, the window will close without pinch pro-
tection ⇒ .
Closing the window without pinch protection
Try to close the window again within 10 seconds by holding the
switch. Pinch protection is turned off for a short distance in the

If closing takes longer than about 10 seconds, pinch protection is
turned on again. The window stops again if there is resistance.
If the window still will not close, please see an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Without pinch protection, power windows will close with
enough force to cause serious personal injury.
Always be careful when closing power windows.
Always make sure that no one is in the way when overriding
pinch protection to close power windows!
Pinch protection cannot prevent fingers or other parts of the
body from being pressed against the window frame; injuries
may result.

tended in the vehicle, especially if they have access to the ve-
hicle key. Unsupervised use of the remote control vehicle key

Certain batteries used in hand-held remote controls are classified
as Perchlorate Material. Special handling may apply – see
http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. Obey all legal
requirements regarding proper disposal. Authorized Volkswagen
dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities are familiar with
the requirements, and we recommend that you have them perform
this service for you.

WARNING
Always adjust seat, safety belts, and head restraints properly
before driving and make sure that all passengers are properly
restrained.
Push the passenger seat as far back as possible. Always be
sure that there are at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the front
passenger's breastbone and the instrument panel.
Always adjust the driver's seat and the steering wheel so that
there are at least 10 inches (25 cm) between your breastbone
and the steering wheel.
Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the ped-
als all the way to the floor while keeping your knee(s) slightly
bent. The distance to the instrument panel in the knee area
must be at least 4 inches (10 cm).
If these requirements cannot be met for physical reasons,
contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility to see whether adaptive equipment
is available.
Always hold the steering wheel on the outside of the steering
wheel rim with your hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi-
tions to help reduce the risk of personal injury if the driver's
airbag inflates.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or
with your hands at other places inside the steering wheel rim or
on the steering wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the
wrong way can cause serious injuries to the hands, arms, and
head if the driver's airbag inflates.
Pointing the steering wheel toward your face decreases the
ability of the driver's airbag to help protect you in a collision.
Never drive with backrests reclined or tilted back farther than
necessary to drive comfortably. The farther back the backrests
are tilted, the greater the risk of injury caused by incorrect posi-
tioning of the safety belts and improper seating position.
Never drive with the front seat passenger backrest tilted for-
ward. If the front airbag deploys, the front backrest can be
forced backward and injure passengers on the rear seat.
Sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel and the
instrument panel.
