Deactivating the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlock button on the remote control vehicle key and switch on the ignition
with a valid remote control vehicle key.
For vehicles with Keyless Access, the alarm can be deactivated by grasping one of the door handles
when a valid vehicle key is in range or by holding the remote control vehicle key to the right of the
steering column trim and pressing the starter
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
rear hatch 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 vehicle key bit, only the driver door is un-
locked, but 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.

When the vehicle key has been removed from the ignition and the driver door or front passenger door has been opened, the power windows cannot be opened or closed.
A separate button for controlling the window is located in the front passenger door.
Power windows – features

x From inside the vehicle, pull up and hold the switch for the driver window until all windows and the sunroof are closed
From outside the vehicle (vehicles with Keyless Access), hold your finger on the lock sensor surface on the outside of the door handle for a few seconds until the windows close
Convenience closing first closes the windows and then the power sunroof.
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 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.
If the power windows malfunction, the one-touch feature, as well as pinch protection, will not work properly. See an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility right away.

The sunshade opens automatically when the power sunroof opens if the shade was previously com-

close automatically with the sunroof. The sunshade cannot be closed completely until the power
sunroof is closed.
If your power sunroof will not close properly, do not try to close it yourself, doing so can cause serious
and expensive damage that will not be covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty. Special know-
ledge and tools are required to close the power sunroof if it will not close on its own. To help prevent
damage to the sunroof, have an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility help you close and repair the power sunroof.
