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 ⇒ Vehicle key set 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 rear hatch is opened in this span of time, the vehicle is automatically locked afterwards.
Mechanical key

Fig. 21 Mechanical key.

If the 0 button is pressed often while outside the operating range, it is possible that the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked anymore with the remote control vehicle key. Synchronize the vehicle key as follows:
x Unfold the key bit on the remote control vehicle key ⇒ Remote control vehicle keys.
x Remove the cap from the door handle on the driver door ⇒ Emergency closing and opening.
x Press the 0 button on the remote control vehicle key. Stand immediately next to vehicle while doing so.
x Manually unlock the vehicle using the key bit within one minute.
x Switch the ignition on with the vehicle key. The synchronization is complete.
x Reinstall the cap.

WARNING
Improper use of power locks can result in serious personal injury.
x The power locking button locks all doors. Locking the doors from the inside can help prevent unintended door opening during a collision and can also prevent unwanted entry from the outside. Locked doors can, however, delay assistance to vehicle occupants and rescue from the outside in an accident or other emergency.
x Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in the vehicle. All doors can be locked from the inside with the power lock button. This could leave people trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
x A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particu-larly to small children.
x Never allow passengers to remain in a locked vehicle. In an emergency any person still inside the vehicle might not be able to get out.
Indicator light in the driver door

x From the outside with Keyless Access ⇒ Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the outside.
x From the inside with the power locking button ⇒ Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the inside.
Special functions of the power locking system can be activated or deactivated via the Convenience
sub-menu in the Settings menu on vehicles with the Premium instrument cluster ⇒ Volkswagen Information System or by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
The doors and the rear hatch can be locked manually if the remote control vehicle key or the power locking system is not working.
Automatic locking (Auto lock)
The vehicle will lock automatically when it reaches a speed of about 10 mph (15 km/h). When the
vehicle is locked, the indicator light 1 comes on in the power locking button ⇒ fig. 26.
Automatic unlocking (Auto unlock)
All doors automatically unlock when you switch off the ignition and open a door from inside the vehicle. On vehicles with automatic transmission, the doors will also unlock when the selector lever is in Park (P) and the ignition is switched off. Auto unlock works only if the vehicle has been automatically locked with the Auto lock feature. The indicator light 1 goes out in the power locking button when the doors
unlock ⇒ fig. 26.
Locking the vehicle after airbag inflation
If the airbags are activated during a collision, the entire vehicle is unlocked. Depending on the severity of the damage, the vehicle can be locked after a collision when the airbags have deployed as follows:

Function Action
Locking the vehicle with the power locking button: – Switch the ignition off. – Open a door once. – Press the power locking button 1.
Locking the vehicle with the remote control vehicle key: – Switch the ignition off and on again OR: Remove the remote control vehicle from the ignition. – Open a door once. – Lock the vehicle with the remote control vehicle key.

If the remote control vehicle key buttons ⇒ Vehicle key set or one of the power locking buttons 47 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 rear hatch is opened during this time, the vehicle is automatically locked after-wards.
