If your vehicle has Keyless Access, it may also be equipped with the
Easy Open feature. With Easy Open, the luggage compartment lid

Open).
Opening with the Volkswagen emblem

Using your thumb, press the top of the Volkswagen emblem
⇒ fig. 34 and move the top of the emblem down. The luggage com-
partment lid opens automatically.
WARNING
Improper or unsupervised unlocking or opening of the luggage
compartment lid can cause severe injuries. Never open the lug-
gage compartment lid when someone is in the way.
If a bicycle or luggage rack is installed on the luggage com-
partment lid, it may be hard to see that the luggage compart-
ment lid is unlatched. An unlatched luggage compartment lid
may open suddenly when the vehicle is moving.
At temperatures below +32 °F (0 °C), the luggage compartment
lid may not open automatically after you unlock it. It will be necessary
to lift it by hand.

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.

For one-touch closing: Pull the switch for the window up briefly as
far as it goes.
Stopping automatic movement: Pull/press the switch again.
Reactivating the one-touch feature
If the vehicle battery is disconnected or dead and the windows are not
completely closed, the one-touch feature will not work and must be
reactivated:
Switch on the ignition.
Close all windows and doors.
Pull up the switch for the respective window and hold it for at least
2 seconds in this position.
Release the switch, pull up and hold again. The one-touch feature
is now reactivated.
The one-touch feature can be reactivated for one or more windows at
the same time.
Convenience closing
The convenience closing feature lets you close the windows and the
power sunroof as follows:
On vehicles with Keyless Access, using the door handle sensors ⇒ 
Power locking and closing system.
From inside the vehicle, pull up and hold the switch for the driver
window until all windows and the sunroof are closed ⇒ Power locking
and closing system.
Convenience closing first closes the windows and then the power
sunroof. All turn signals blink once to confirm that the windows and
power sunroof are closed.

Lock the vehicle with locking button 1 in the vehicle key to store
the settings.
Once the settings are stored, the driver seat and the outside mirrors
move to the stored positions whenever the vehicle is unlocked with
the 0 button on the vehicle key (or unlocked with the door handle
sensor on vehicles with Keyless Access) and the driver door is
opened. If 2 people use the vehicle, each of them should always use
the key in which his or her personal settings have been stored.
Initializing the memory seats
The memory system must be initialized by an authorized Volkswagen
dealer, an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or another quali-
fied workshop in certain situations, for instance, if a new driver seat is
installed.
Initializing clears all memories and assignments of the memory seats.
After that, memory buttons can be reprogrammed and assigned to a
vehicle key.
Open the driver door but do not enter the vehicle.
Adjust the seats from the outside.
Move the angle of the backrest forward as far as it will go.
Release the backrest adjustment switch and press it again until you
hear a chime sound.
Cancellation conditions when storing settings for the memory
buttons
When one of the following conditions is met, the storing process will
be cancelled:
The vehicle battery is weak or dead.
The 3%4 button is pressed again within about 10 seconds.
The seat position is readjusted within about 10 seconds after
pressing the 3%4 button.

If the light switch is in position !54/, a low-light sensor switches the
low beams as well as the instrument and switch lighting on and off
automatically.
Daytime running lights (DRL) parking feature
Some models are equipped with a daytime running lights (DRL) park-
ing feature that switches the daytime running lights off when the vehi-
cle is parked and the ignition is switched on.

Function Action
Switching the DRL off: – Switch the ignition on.
– Turn the light switch to the /
position.
– Set the parking brake.
Switching the DRL back on: – Release the parking brake.

Static cornering lights
Your vehicle may have fog lights under the front bumper, which on
some models are also static cornering lights. On some models the
static cornering lights may be integrated in the headlights. At speeds
below about 25 mph (40 km/h), the light on one side of the vehicle will
come on automatically when you turn a corner. If you turn to the right,
the right fog light comes on; turn left and the left fog light comes on.
The light dims and goes out when the steering wheel is straightened
out again.
When you move the selector lever to Reverse (R), the static cornering
lights on both sides of the vehicle may come on so that you can see
the area around the vehicle better when backing up.
The static cornering lights work only when the headlights are on. If
you are using automatic headlight control (headlight switch in the !54/
position ⇒ fig. 86), they work only when the headlights have been
automatically switched on. The static cornering lights do not come on
when the headlight switch is in the / position or when the fog lights
themselves have been switched on ⇒ Switching lights on and off.

Automatic headlight control (!54/)
Automatic headlight control is a convenience feature only and cannot
always recognize all lighting and driving situations.
If the light switch is in the !54/ position, both vehicle lighting and in-
strument and switch lighting are automatically switched on and off in
the following situations ⇒ :

Automatic activation: Automatic deactivation:
If the low-light sensor registers
darkness, for example when driv-
ing through a tunnel.
If sufficient brightness is regis-
tered.
If the rain sensor recognizes rain
and switches the windshield wip-
ers on.
If the windshield wipers have not
moved for several minutes.

Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
The Adaptive Front Lighting System works only with the low beams
switched on and only at speeds above about 6 mph (10 km/h). The
swivel-mounted lamps automatically improve road illumination during
cornering.
On vehicles equipped with the Adaptive Front Lighting System, the
feature is switched on and off via the Assistants menu in the instru-
ment cluster display ⇒ Volkswagen Information System.
