WARNING
Always observe traffic rules and 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 vehi-
cle's service life. Always follow the scheduled maintenance intervals
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 in other countries

WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge, etc., the brakes react
slower and need longer stopping distances.
Always dry the brakes and clean off any ice coatings with a
few careful applications of the brake. Make sure not to endan-
ger other motorists or cyclists or disobey legal requirements.
Avoid abrupt or sudden braking maneuvers immediately after
driving through water.
NOTICE
Vehicle components such as the engine, transmission, sus-
pension or electrical system may be severely damaged by driv-
ing through water.
Never drive through salt water. Salt causes vehicle corrosion.
Thoroughly rinse with fresh water all vehicle parts that were ex-
posed to salt water.

WARNING
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal in-
jury.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. It
can be used to start the engine and operate vehicle systems
such as the power windows, leading to serious personal injury.
Children or other unauthorized persons could also lock the
doors and the luggage compartment.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
with the remote control vehicle key. 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.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-
ing 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, particularly
to small children.
Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehi-
cle is moving or rolling to a stop. The steering wheel will lock
and you will not be able to steer or control the vehicle.

This could result in people being locked in the vehicle. This
could result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an emer-
gency. Depending on the time of year, people trapped in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.

WARNING
Improper or unsupervised unlocking or opening of the luggage

gage compartment lid when someone is in the way.

partment lid, it may be hard to see that the luggage compart-
ment lid is unlatched. An unlatched luggage compartment lid
may open suddenly when the vehicle is moving.
At temperatures below +32 °F (0 °C), the luggage compartment
lid may not open automatically after you unlock it. It will be necessary
to lift it by hand.

WARNING
Careless use of the Easy Open feature can cause falls and seri-
ous personal injury.
Always make sure you have firm footing when using the Easy
Open feature, and that the surface you are standing on is not
uneven or slippery.
Never use Easy Open feature unless you can use it safely.
CAUTION
If a valid vehicle key is within range of the luggage compart-
ment lid, the Easy Open feature can deploy unintentionally in
some cases and open the luggage compartment lid: for exam-
ple, when sweeping the ground or floor below the rear bumper,
if there is a strong stream of water or steam, or when carrying
out maintenance or repairs around the rear bumper. If the lug-
gage compartment lid opens unintentionally, it can injure any-
one or damage anything in its way.
Never leave a valid vehicle key within range of the luggage
compartment lid unattended.
Always turn off the Easy Open feature through the
Volkswagen Information System ⇒  Volkswagen Information

– Before carrying out any maintenance or repairs on the ve-
hicle.
– Before washing the vehicle.
– Before mounting a bicycle rack or connecting a trailer hitch
to the vehicle.

completely closed, the one-touch feature will not work and must be
reactivated:
Switch on the ignition.
Close all windows and doors.
Pull up the switch for the respective window and hold it for at least
2 seconds in this position.
Release the switch, pull up and hold again. The one-touch feature

the same time.
Convenience closing
The convenience closing feature lets you close the windows and the

On vehicles with Keyless Access, using the door handle sensors ⇒ 
Power locking and closing system.
From inside the vehicle, pull up and hold the switch for the driver
window until all windows and the sunroof are closed ⇒ Power locking
and closing system.
Convenience closing first closes the windows and then the power
sunroof. All turn signals blink once to confirm that the windows and
power sunroof are closed.

DANGER
20 mm button cells and other lithium batteries will cause seri-
ous personal injury and even death within a short time if swal-
lowed.
Always keep hand-held remote control devices with batteries,
spare batteries, as well as dead button cell and larger 20 mm
batteries out of the reach of children.
Get medical attention immediately if you suspect that a bat-
tery has been swallowed.
WARNING
Improper use of the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter can
cause serious or even fatal personal injury.
Garage doors operate with enough force to cause serious
personal injury.
Never let anyone get in the way of a garage door when it is
opening or closing.
When programming the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter,
you may be operating a garage door or estate gate. Always
make sure that people and objects are out of the way to help
prevent serious personal injury or property damage.
When operating the “training” button on a garage door open-
er with a rolling code, you will need to stand on a ladder or
step-stool. Always take extra precautions to prevent falls and
serious injury.
Never use the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter with any gar-
age door opener that does not have the safety stop-and-reverse
feature, as required by federal safety standards. This includes
any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1,
1982.
A garage door opener that cannot detect an object, signaling
the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious injury or death.
Follow the installation manual and the included safety infor-
mation from the manufacturer when using the remote-
controlled garage door opener or electrical drive.
