resistance or there is something in the way, the power sunroof opens
again immediately.
Check why the power sunroof did not close.
Try to close the power sunroof again by pulling the h switch brief-
ly.
If the power sunroof still cannot close, the power sunroof will stop
where the resistance is located. The power sunroof will close the next
time without pinch protection.
Closing the power sunroof without pinch protection
Within 5 seconds after the pinch protection was triggered, pull the
switch ⇒ fig. 40 until the power sunroof closes completely.
The power sunroof will now close without pinch protection!
If the power sunroof still will not close, please see an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
WARNING
Careless or unsupervised use of the sunroof can cause serious
injuries.
Always make sure that no one is in the way of the power sun-
roof when it is closing.
Always take all vehicle keys with you when leaving the vehi-
cle.
Never leave children or persons requiring assistance unat-
tended in the vehicle, especially if they have access to the ve-
hicle key. Unsupervised use of the remote control vehicle key
can lock the vehicle, start the engine, switch on the ignition and
operate the sunroof.
The sunroof can still be opened or closed for a short period
after the ignition has been switched off, as long as the driver or
passenger door is not opened.

The vehicle must be in operating range of the garage or outer gate
drives.
With ignition turned on or engine running, press the appropriate
button on the sun visor ⇒ .
The range of the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter roughly corre-
sponds to the range of the original remote control of the device or the
electrical drive. If the garage door or the electrical drive does not
work, this could be for one of the following reasons:

Malfunction Possible cause Possible remedy
Garage door or
electrical drive
does not work.
Distance or trans-
mission angle too
great.
Try different distances and
angles to the receiver.
Garage door or
electrical drive not
compatible.
May not comply with legal
requirements and may have
to be replaced.
Incorrect
programming.
Reprogram the garage door
opener.

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.

NOTICE
To help prevent damage to electrical parts in the seat, do not
kneel on the front seats or apply concentrated pressure to a
small area of the seat or backrest.
If the vehicle battery is too weak, the electrical seat adjustment
controls may not work.
Starting the engine may stop seat adjustment.
When entering and exiting the vehicle, be careful not to come into
contact with any switches that could change the seat adjustment.
Adjusting the front and rear head restraints

Safety belts attach passengers to the car and give them the benefit of
being slowed down more gently or “softly” through the “give” in the
safety belts, crumple zones, and other safety features (such as air-
bags) engineered into today's vehicles. The front crumple zones and
other passive safety features (such as the airbag system) are also
designed to absorb kinetic energy. By “absorbing” the kinetic energy
over a longer period of time, the forces on the body become more
“tolerable” and less likely to cause injury.
Although these examples are based on a frontal collision, safety belts
can also substantially reduce the risk of injury in other kinds of crash-
es. So, whether you're on a long trip or “just going to the corner
store,” always buckle up and make sure that others do, too.
Accident statistics show that vehicle occupants properly wearing safe-
ty belts have a lower risk of being injured and a much better chance
of surviving a collision. Properly using safety belts also greatly in-
creases the ability of the supplemental airbags to do their job in a
collision. For this reason, wearing a safety belt is required by law in
most countries including the United States and Canada.
Although your Volkswagen is equipped with airbags, you still have to
wear the safety belts provided. Front airbags, for example, are acti-
vated only in some frontal collisions. The front airbags are not acti-
vated in all frontal collisions, in side and rear collisions, in rollovers, or
in cases when the conditions for deployment stored in the electronic
control unit are not met. The same goes for the other airbag systems
on your Volkswagen.
So always wear your safety belt and make sure that everybody in
your vehicle is properly restrained!
Using safety belts

WARNING
Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text mes-
sages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result
in a collision and serious personal injury.
Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Whenever stalled or stopped for repair, move the vehicle a
safe distance off the road, stop the engine, turn on the emer-
gency flashers, and use other warning devices to warn ap-
proaching traffic.
Never park the vehicle in areas where the hot catalytic con-
verter and exhaust system can come into contact with dry
grass, brush, spilled fuel, oil, or other material that can catch
fire.
A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself
and others. Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning
triangle to warn oncoming traffic.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in
vehicle damage.
High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights provide bright, uniform
lighting to help you see and be seen. The light comes from an electric
arc between two electrodes in the gas-filled bulb. Over time, the elec-
trodes can wear down and the gap between them will get wider. The
HID lamp’s control unit then increases the voltage to keep the arc’s
brightness constant. However, the commonly called “Xenon” bulbs
will also ultimately burn out. Before they burn out, HID lamps can
flicker. A message will then appear in the MFI. This is your reminder
to see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service facility to check the headlights.

frozen to the windshield before operating the wipers. Using the
service position can be helpful in cold weather so the wipers do
not freeze to the windshield ⇒  Windshield wiper service posi-
tion.
If the ignition is switched off while the wipers are running, the
wipers will continue at the same wiping speed when the ignition
is switched on again. Frost, ice, snow, leaves, and other objects
on the windshield can damage the wipers and the wiper motor.
Remove snow and ice from the wipers before you begin driv-
ing.
If the wiper blades freeze to the windshield, loosen them care-
fully. Volkswagen recommends using a deicing spray.
NOTICE
Never switch on the windshield wipers when the windshield is
dry because the windshield can be scratched.
The windshield wipers work only if the ignition is switched on and
the engine hood is closed. The windshield wipers turn off automatical-
ly when the engine hood is opened.
The intermittent wiping for the front windshield depends on the
driving speed. The higher the speed, the faster the wipers move.
If the wiper blades freeze to the windshield, loosen them careful-
ly. Volkswagen recommends using a deicing spray.
Windshield wiper functions

NOTICE
To help prevent damage to the engine hood and the wind-
shield wiper arms, lift the wiper arms away from the windshield
only when they are in the service position.
Always carefully fold the windshield wiper arms down against
the windshield before driving the vehicle.
