NOTICE
The remote control vehicle keys contain electrical components. Protect them from damage,
moisture and rough handling.
Do not press the buttons on the remote control vehicle key unless you actually want to use the
function in question. Since terrain and conditions vary, pressing a button on the remote control vehicle
key when it is not necessary may unlock the vehicle or set off the panic alarm, even if you think you
are out of range.
Remote control vehicle key functions can be temporarily disrupted by interference from transmit-
ters near the vehicle that use the same frequency range (such as radio equipment or cellular phones).
Things between the remote control vehicle key and vehicle, bad weather, as well as a weak
battery can reduce the operating range.
If the remote control vehicle key buttons or the power locking buttons are pushed repeatedly in
quick succession, the power locking system is switched off for a brief period to help keep it from being
overloaded. The vehicle is then unlocked for about 30 seconds. Unless a door or the luggage com-
partment lid is opened in this span of time, the vehicle is automatically locked afterwards.
Indicator light in the remote control vehicle key

Fig. 17 Indicator light in the remote control vehicle key.

Always keep the Owner's Manual in this slot.
Holders for pen and coins
There are holders for a pen and for coins in the glove compartment cover (2).
WARNING
An open glove compartment door can increase the risk of serious injury during sudden
braking or driving maneuvers or in a crash.
x Always keep the glove compartment closed while the vehicle is moving.

NOTICE
In some vehicle models, design considerations have made it necessary to have openings in
the glove compartment behind the Owner's Manual slot, for example. Small items may fall
through these openings and get behind the instrument panel. This can cause unusual noises
and damage the vehicle. Never put any small objects in the glove compartment for this reason.
Depending on options, a factory-installed Media Device Interface (MDI)/(MEDIA-IN) may be
located in the glove compartment ⇒Booklet Radio, or ⇒Booklet Navigation system.
Storage compartment in the rear center console

Fig. 98 In the rear center console: Storage compartment.

If the ignition is on but the engine is not running, the vehicle battery will be drained by any device that
is plugged in and turned on. For this reason, never use the electrical sockets unless the engine is
running.
To help prevent damage from voltage fluctuations, switch off all electrical devices connected to a
12 Volt socket before switching the ignition on or off or starting the engine.
The vehicle may have 12 Volt sockets at the following places:
x In the storage compartment in the front center console ⇒fig. 91.
x In the storage compartment in the rear center console ⇒fig. 101.
x In the rear center console ⇒fig. 102.
NOTICE
x Follow the manufacturer's instructions for connected devices!
x Never exceed the maximum power consumption, or the entire vehicle electrical system may
be damaged.
x 12 Volt socket:
– Only use equipment that has been tested for electromagnetic compatibility and complies
with applicable guidelines.
– Never feed current into the socket, with a solar panel, for example.
Unshielded devices may interfere with radio reception or the vehicle's electrical system.

NOTICE
x Only refill with suitable operating fluids. When changing or topping off fluids, make sure
that you pour the fluids into the correct reservoirs. Adding incorrect fluids will cause serious
malfunctions and engine damage! Under no circumstances should you mix up operating fluids.
Otherwise serious malfunctions and engine damage can occur!
x Accessories and other things installed in front of the cooling air intakes impair the
efficiency of the engine coolant. The engine can overheat under high outside temperatures or
under high engine loads!
Leaking operating fluids can pollute the environment. Collect leaking operating fluids in suitable
containers and dispose of them properly in accordance with applicable environmental laws and
regulations.
CB radio equipment

Therefore we strongly recommend that you use your cellular telephone in your vehicle only when it is
properly attached to an appropriate cradle mounted on a base plate on the instrument panel.
Because of the large number and variety of cellular telephones on the market and the frequency with
which new models are introduced, Volkswagen does not offer cradles for cellular telephones. Please
check with the manufacturer of the cellular telephone that you plan to use.

WARNING
A mobile phone on the seat, instrument panel or in other places can be thrown around the
inside of the vehicle during a sudden braking maneuver, a crash or other accident and injure
vehicle occupants.
x Never place or attach accessories or other objects (such as cup holders, telephone
brackets, note pads, navigation systems, large, heavy or bulky objects) on the doors, on the
windshield, over or near the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, instrument panel,
backrests or between these areas and the occupant. Such objects could cause serious injury
in a collision, especially if an airbag inflates.

WARNING
Using a mobile phone or CB radio inside the vehicle without a properly installed and separate
outside antenna can be dangerous to your health and that of your passengers because the
electromagnetic radiation energy that cell phones and CB radios emit may be above
established limits. This also applies if the outside antenna is not installed properly.
x Always keep the mobile phone antenna at least 8 in. (20 cm) away from pacemakers. Heart
specialists advise that cell phones can adversely affect the way pacemakers work.
x Never carry a mobile phone that is switched on in the breast pocket directly over a
pacemaker.
x If you suspect there may be interference with a pacemaker or other medical device, switch
the mobile phone off immediately.

x On the inside of the rear side windows,
x On the inside of the windshield,
x On the vehicle roof.
Antennas on the insides of windows are thin wires.
NOTICE
Antennas installed on the insides of windows can be damaged by abrasive objects or by
corrosive or acidic cleaning agents or other chemicals. Do not place any stickers on the
windshield-integrated antenna and never clean the antenna with corrosive or acidic cleaning
agents or other chemicals.
If electrical devices are operated close to the integrated windshield antenna, interference with AM
radio reception may occur.
