WARNING
An open or unlocked luggage compartment poses special risks
for children.
Close and lock the luggage compartment lid and all doors
when the vehicle is not in use. First, make certain that no one is
left inside.
Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play
around the vehicle, especially with the luggage compartment lid
left open. A child could crawl into the vehicle and pull the lid
shut, becoming trapped and unable to get out. This could cause
severe or fatal injuries.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-
ing on the season. Temperatures can quickly reach levels that
can cause unconsciousness or death, particularly to small chil-
dren.
Never let children play in or around the vehicle.
Never let anyone ride in the luggage compartment.

WARNING
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal in-
jury.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. The
engine can be started and vehicle systems such as the power
windows can be operated, leading to serious personal injury.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
with the remote control vehicle key. This could result in people
being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. For example, de-
pending on the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle can
be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
Heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a
parked vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are
much higher than the outside temperatures, particularly in
summer. Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause
unconsciousness and death, particularly to small children.
Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehi-
cle is moving or rolling to a stop. The steering wheel will lock
and you will not be able to steer or control the vehicle.
Leaving the key in the ignition for a long time when the engine is
not running will drain the vehicle battery.
Leaving the selector lever for a long period of time in any position
other than Park (P) when the ignition is switched off can drain the
vehicle battery.
On automatic transmission vehicles, the vehicle key can be
removed from the ignition switch only when the transmission is in
Park (P). You may have to press the release button on the transmis-
sion selector lever to put the lever into Park (P).

The engine switches off automatically.
Engine restart feature
If no authorized remote control vehicle key is identified in the passen-
ger compartment after the engine has been switched off, the engine
can be restarted within about 5 seconds. A related message is shown
in the instrument cluster display.
After the 5 seconds have passed, the engine can no longer be started
without an authorized vehicle key in the passenger compartment.
WARNING
Unintended vehicle movement can cause serious personal inju-
ry.
Do not depress the brake or clutch pedals when switching on
the ignition, as the engine could otherwise start immediately.
WARNING
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal in-
jury.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle.
Children or unauthorized persons may use it to lock the vehi-
cle, start the engine, and operate vehicle systems such as the
power windows, leading to serious personal injury.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
using the remote control vehicle key. This could result in peo-
ple being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. For example,
depending on the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle
can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
Heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a
parked vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are
much higher than the outside temperatures, particularly in
summer. Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause
unconsciousness and death, particularly to small children.
If the ignition is switched on or the engine is running and the driv-
er door is opened, a chime sounds. The chime is also a reminder to

WARNING
Parking improperly can cause serious personal injury.
Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehi-
cle is moving or rolling to a stop. The steering wheel will lock
and you will not be able to steer or control the vehicle.
Never park the vehicle where the hot exhaust system or cata-
lytic converter could ignite flammable materials, such as brush,
leaves, dry grass, spilled fuel, etc.
Always apply the electronic parking brake when parking your
vehicle.
Improper use of the electronic parking brake can seriously
injure you and your passengers.
Never use the parking brake to slow down the vehicle when it
is moving, except in an emergency. The stopping distance is
much longer because only the rear wheels are braked. Always
use the foot brake to stop the vehicle.
Never activate the throttle manually from the engine com-
partment when the engine is running and the automatic trans-
mission is in gear. The vehicle will start to move as soon as the
engine speed increases even if the parking brake is on.
Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves
behind in the vehicle. They could switch off the parking brake
and move the gear selector lever or gear shift, which could
cause the vehicle to start moving. This can lead to a crash and
serious personal injuries.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. The
engine can be started and vehicle systems such as the power
windows can be operated, leading to serious personal injury.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
with the remote control vehicle key, trapping passengers in the
vehicle in an emergency. For example, depending on the time
of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures.

WARNING
Brake failure and reduced brake performance can be caused by
not having enough brake fluid in the reservoir or by old or in-
correct brake fluid.
Check the brake system and brake fluid level regularly.
Always change the brake fluid according to the service
schedule in your ⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance.
Hard braking with old brake fluid may cause vapor lock. Va-
por lock reduces braking performance, increases stopping dis-
tances and can even cause total brake failure.
Always make sure that only the correct brake fluid is used.
Only use brake fluid that expressly conforms to VW Standard
501 14 or, if it is not available, only use a high-quality brake flu-
id that conforms to U.S. Standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4 require-
ments.
Using another brake fluid, or one that is not of high quality,
can impair the function of the brake system and reduce its ef-
fectiveness. If the container does not say that the brake fluid
complies with VW Standard 501 14, or U.S. Standard
FMVSS 116 DOT 4, do not use it.
The brake fluid must be new.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous.
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never use food, beverage or
other non-original containers to store brake fluid. Someone
might be misled by the original label on the container, or by the
shape of the container, and drink the brake fluid. This could oc-
cur even if you relabel the container as “brake fluid.”
Only store brake fluid in the closed, original container and
keep it out of the reach of children.
NOTICE
Brake fluid will damage vehicle paint, plastic parts, and tires.
Wipe any brake fluid off vehicle paint and other vehicle parts
immediately.

WARNING
Hot steam and hot engine coolant can cause serious burns.
Never open the hood if you see steam or coolant escaping
from the engine compartment. Always wait until you no longer
see or hear steam or coolant escaping from the engine.
Always let the engine cool down completely before carefully
opening the hood. Hot components will burn skin on contact.
When the engine has cooled down and you are ready to open
the hood:
– Apply the electronic parking brake and shift the transmis-
sion into Park (P) (automatic) or Neutral (manual only).
– Take the vehicle key out of the ignition.
– On vehicles with Keyless Access, make sure that the re-
mote control vehicle key is out of range of the vehicle and
that the vehicle cannot be started by depressing the starter
button
– Always keep children and others away from the engine
compartment and never leave them unsupervised.
The engine coolant system is under pressure when the en-
gine is hot. Never unscrew the coolant expansion tank cap
when the engine is hot. Hot coolant can spray out and cause
severe burns and other serious injuries.
– Turn the cap slowly and very carefully in a counterclock-
wise direction while applying light downward pressure on the
top of the cap.
– Always protect your face, hands, and arms from hot escap-
ing coolant or steam by covering the cap with a large, thick
rag.
Never spill fluids on the engine or exhaust system when re-
filling. Spilling fluids onto hot parts of the engine or exhaust
system can cause a fire. Under some conditions, the ethylene
glycol in engine coolant can catch fire.
NOTICE
Use distilled water only when adding coolant! All other types
of water contain chemical compounds that can cause extensive
corrosion damage to the engine. This can even lead to engine

WARNING
Serious injuries can result if the emergency closing and open-
ing procedures are used carelessly.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
with the remote control vehicle key. This could result in people
being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-
ing on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in
the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher
than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly
to small children.
WARNING
Careless opening and closing of the doors, the luggage com-
partment lid, and the power sunroof is dangerous and can
cause serious personal injury.
Open or close the doors, the luggage compartment lid, and
the power sunroof only when no one is in the way.
NOTICE
If the vehicle's battery fails or the power windows won't work,
the door windows are not lowered when the door is opened or
closed. Always close and open the door carefully to help prevent
damage to the window, the paint, or the rubber seal.
NOTICE
To help prevent vehicle damage, carefully remove and properly
reinstall parts after emergency locking or unlocking.
