Replacement vehicle keys
The vehicle identification number is required to get a replacement key or an additional remote control
vehicle key.
Up to 8 vehicle keys, each of which must be properly cut, coded, programmed, and synchronized, can
be used with your vehicle.
Each new vehicle key contains a microchip and must be coded with the data from the vehicle's elec-
tronic immobilizer. A vehicle key will not work if it does not contain a microchip or contains a chip that
is not coded, even if the key bit was cut correctly.
You can obtain additional or duplicate remote control vehicle keys from authorized Volkswagen deal-
ers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities.
Each vehicle key must be programmed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility in order for it to work with your vehicle.
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.
