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-
pletely closed or in front of the glass roof. The sunshade remains in the previous position and does not
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.
The comfort position (2) provides sufficient ventilation without loud wind noise.
