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.

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.

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

If the tire pressure is too low, the relevant tires and the respective
readings are highlighted in yellow.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked month-
ly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-
inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indi-
cator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminat-
ed. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-
tions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Starting and stopping the engine

WARNING
Switching off the engine while the vehicle is moving can make
the vehicle harder to stop and result in loss of vehicle control,
leading to collisions and severe personal injuries.
Brake and steering assistance systems, the airbag system,
safety belt pretensioners, and other vehicle safety features only
work when the engine is running.
Switch off the engine only when the vehicle is not moving.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury when starting and
running the vehicle's engine:
Never start the engine or let it run in a confined or enclosed
area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous,
colorless, and odorless gas. Carbon monoxide can cause un-
consciousness and death.
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running.
The vehicle could move suddenly or some other unexpected
event could occur, resulting in property damage or personal
injury.
Never use starting assist fluids. Starting fluids can explode
and can cause a “run-away” vehicle condition.
WARNING
The vehicle exhaust system and the catalytic converter get very
hot. They can cause fires and serious personal injury.
Never park the vehicle where the hot exhaust system or cata-
lytic converter could ignite flammable materials, such as brush,
leaves, dry grass, spilled fuel, etc.
Never apply additional undercoating or rust proofing on or
near the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converter,
or heat shields.

WARNING
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal in-
jury.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. The
engine can be started and vehicle systems such as the power
windows can be operated, leading to serious personal injury.
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 result in people
being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. For example, de-
pending on the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle can
be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
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, particularly in
summer. 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.
Leaving the key in the ignition for a long time when the engine is
not running will drain the vehicle battery.
Leaving the selector lever for a long period of time in any position
other than Park (P) when the ignition is switched off can drain the
vehicle battery.
On automatic transmission vehicles, the vehicle key can be
removed from the ignition switch only when the transmission is in
Park (P). You may have to press the release button on the transmis-
sion selector lever to put the lever into Park (P).
