2013 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CC battery

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 47 or the power locking buttons 48 are pushed re-
peatedly 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 compartment lid is opened in this span of time, the vehicle is automatically locked afterwards.

When is the alarm triggered?
The anti-theft alarm system sounds for about 30 seconds and the turn signals flash for up to 5 minutes
if the following occurs with respect to the locked vehicle:
x Opening a door that has been mechanically unlocked with the emergency key
x Forcibly opening a door.
x Forcibly opening the engine hood.
x Forcibly opening the luggage compartment lid.
x Switching on the ignition with an invalid key.
x Disconnecting the vehicle battery.
Deactivating the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlock button on the remote control vehicle key or switch on the ignition
with a valid remote control vehicle key.
After the alarm has stopped and the vehicle is opened again in the same or a different area that
is protected by the alarm, the alarm is triggered again. For example, the alarm will sound again if the
luggage compartment lid is opened after one of the doors has been opened.
The anti-theft alarm system is not activated when the vehicle is locked with the power lock
switch 1 on the inside of the driver or front passenger doors.
If the driver door is mechanically unlocked using the emergency key, only the driver door is
unlocked, not the entire vehicle. Switching on the ignition deactivates the anti-theft alarm system and
activates the central locking button. To unlock the doors, use the central locking button or remote
control vehicle key.
If the vehicle battery is dead or weak, the anti-theft alarm system will not work properly.

For one-touch opening: Press the switch for the window down briefly as far as it goes.
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:
x Switch on the ignition.
x Close all windows and doors.
x Pull up the switch for the respective window and hold it for at least 2 seconds in this position.
x 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.
WARNING
Improper use of power windows can result in serious personal injury.
x Never let anyone get in the way of a power window when closing it.
x 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.
x 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.
x Always use the safety switch when children are in the back seat to disable the rear power
windows and keep them from being opened and closed.
NOTICE
The windows must go down slightly when you unlock the vehicle. 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.

DANGER
20 mm button cells and other lithium batteries will cause serious personal injury and even
death within a short time if swallowed.
x Always keep hand-held remote control devices with batteries, spare batteries, as well as
dead button cell and larger 20 mm batteries out of the reach of children.
x Get medical attention immediately if you suspect that a battery has been swallowed.
WARNING
Improper use of the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter can cause serious or even fatal
personal injury.
x Garage doors operate with enough force to cause serious personal injury.
x Never let anyone get in the way of a garage door when it is opening or closing.
x When programming the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter, you may be operating a garage
door or estate gate. Always make sure that people and objects are out of the way to help
prevent serious personal injury or property damage.
x When operating the “training” button on a garage door opener with a rolling code, you will
need to stand on a ladder or step-stool. Always take extra precautions to prevent falls and
serious injury.
x Never use the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter with any garage door opener that does
not have the safety stop-and-reverse feature, as required by federal safety standards. This
includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
x A garage door opener that cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious injury or death.
x Follow the installation manual and the included safety information from the manufacturer
when using the remote-controlled garage door opener or electrical drive.
NOTICE
The wrong batteries can damage the hand-held remote control. Replace a dead battery with
one that has the same voltage, size, and specifications.
Please dispose of old batteries properly and in an environmentally responsible manner. Always
keep them out of the reach of children.
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.

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 qualified workshop in certain situations, for instance, if a new
driver seat is installed.
Initializing clears all memories and assignments of the memory seat. After that, memory buttons can

Vanity mirror and lighting
A vanity mirror is behind a cover in the sun visor. A light (3) may come on when you slide the cover (2)
open.
The light goes out when you shut the cover or if you flip the sun visor up again.
The vanity mirror light and the interior light above the sun visor go out after several minutes. This
helps to prevent unnecessary drain on the vehicle battery.
