WARNING
Always observe posted speed limits and use common sense. Your good judgment can mean
the difference between arriving safely at your destination and being seriously injured in a
crash or other kind of accident.
Regular service and maintenance of your vehicle is important both for operational and driving
safety and to help prolong your vehicle's service life. Always follow the scheduled maintenance inter-
vals in the ⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance, especially for changing the brake fluid. Hard use,
frequent stop-and-go driving, driving in very dusty areas, trailer towing, and other factors may make it
necessary to have the vehicle serviced more frequently. Ask an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for more information.

Driving through water on roads

Remove your finger from the lock sensor surface to stop the function. If you touch the unlock sensor
surface 1 on the inside of the door handle immediately after releasing the lock sensor surface 1 (ar-
row), all of the windows will open (safety function). Pinch protection is active during convenience
closing of the windows.
The settings in the Settings – Convenience menu determine which doors open when the door
handle sensor surface is touched.
NOTICE
The door handle sensor surfaces can be activated by a strong stream of water or steam if a
valid vehicle key is within range of the vehicle.

locked or unlocked with the key bit
The driver message Key not in range appears in the instrument cluster display if there is no
remote control vehicle key inside the vehicle or if the system does not recognize the vehicle key. The
key may not be recognized, for example, if it is covered by something that interferes with the signal
(such as a briefcase), or if the remote control vehicle key battery is weak. Electronic devices such as
cell phones can also interfere with the signal.
Dirt on the door handles that contains a lot of salt (especially in winter) can affect the way the
door handle sensors work. Cleaning the door handles can help with this problem 279.

WARNING
Improper or unsupervised closing of the rear hatch can cause severe injuries. Never close
the hatch when someone is in the way.
x Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play around your vehicle, especially
with the rear hatch left open. A child could crawl into the vehicle and pull the rear hatch shut,
becoming trapped and unable to get out. A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold
depending on the season. Temperatures can quickly levels that can cause unconsciousness
or death, particularly to small children.
Make sure that the remote control vehicle key is not in the luggage compartment before closing
the rear hatch.

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 win-dows for several minutes after the ignition is switched off as long as the driver or front pas-senger 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.
