WARNING
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal in-
jury.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. It
can be used to start the engine and operate vehicle systems
such as the power windows, leading to serious personal injury.
Children or other unauthorized persons could also lock the
doors and the luggage compartment.
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 leave people
trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on the time
of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures.
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.
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.

vated.

WARNING
When the child safety lock is engaged, that rear door cannot be
opened from the inside.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves, in the vehicle when locking the doors.
This could result in people being locked in the vehicle. This
could result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an emer-
gency. Depending on the time of year, people trapped in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
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
Accidents and severe personal injuries can result if you unlock,
open, or close the luggage compartment lid when someone is
in the way.
Only open or close the luggage compartment lid if no one is
in the way.
After closing the luggage compartment lid, always make sure
that it is properly closed and locked so that it cannot open sud-
denly when the vehicle is moving. The closed luggage com-
partment lid must be flush with the surrounding auto body
parts.
Always keep the luggage compartment lid closed while driv-
ing to help keep poisonous exhaust gas from being drawn into
the vehicle.
Never open the luggage compartment lid when a luggage
rack is installed and loaded. If, for example, there are bicycles
on a carrier on the luggage compartment lid, it is possible that
the lid will not be able to open automatically. An open luggage
compartment lid may fall on its own because of the additional
weight. If necessary, prop open the luggage compartment lid.
Remove the weight from the luggage rack first.
Close and lock the luggage compartment lid and all doors
when the vehicle is not in use. First, make sure that no one is
left inside the vehicle.
Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play
around your vehicle, especially when the luggage compartment
lid is open. A child could crawl into the vehicle and pull the
luggage compartment lid shut, becoming trapped and unable to
get out. A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, de-
pending 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 quick-
ly reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, par-
ticularly to small children.
Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves
behind in the vehicle. They may lock the vehicle with the vehi-
cle key or the power locking button and lock themselves in.

The luggage compartment lid can also be locked manually with the
emergency key via the key switch in the driver door ⇒ Driver door
overview. When the luggage compartment lid has been locked manu-
ally with the emergency key, it cannot be opened using the q button
on the remote control vehicle key or the q switch inside the driver
door.
WARNING
Improper or unsupervised closing of the luggage compartment
lid can cause severe injuries. Never close the luggage com-
partment lid when someone is in the way.
Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play
around your vehicle, especially with the luggage compartment
lid left open. A child could crawl into the vehicle and pull the
luggage compartment lid shut, becoming trapped and unable to
get out. A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold de-
pending on the season. Temperatures can quickly reach levels
that can cause unconsciousness or death, particularly to small
children.
Make sure that the remote control vehicle key is not in the lug-
gage compartment before closing the luggage compartment lid.

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.
