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
is now reactivated.
The one-touch feature can be reactivated for one or more windows at
the same time.

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.
NOTICE
The wrong batteries can damage the hand-held remote control.
Replace a dead battery with one that has the same voltage, size,
and specifications.
Please dispose of old batteries properly and in an environmental-
ly responsible manner. Always keep them out of the reach of children.

Lock the vehicle with locking button 1 in the vehicle key to store
the settings.
Once the settings are stored, the driver seat and the outside mirrors
move to the stored positions whenever the vehicle is unlocked with
the 0 button on the vehicle key (or unlocked with the door handle
sensor on vehicles with Keyless Access) and the driver door is
opened. If 2 people use the vehicle, each of them should always use
the key in which his or her personal settings have been stored.
Initializing the memory seats
The memory system must be initialized by an authorized Volkswagen
dealer, an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or another quali-
fied workshop in certain situations, for instance, if a new driver seat is
installed.
Initializing clears all memories and assignments of the memory seats.
After that, memory buttons can be reprogrammed and assigned to a
vehicle key.
Open the driver door but do not enter the vehicle.
Adjust the seats from the outside.
Move the angle of the backrest forward as far as it will go.
Release the backrest adjustment switch and press it again until you
hear a chime sound.
Cancellation conditions when storing settings for the memory
buttons
When one of the following conditions is met, the storing process will
be cancelled:
The vehicle battery is weak or dead.
The 3%4 button is pressed again within about 10 seconds.
The seat position is readjusted within about 10 seconds after
pressing the 3%4 button.

WARNING
Never leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
The vehicle could move suddenly, especially when the vehicle
is in gear, resulting in accidents and personal injury.
WARNING
“Starting fluids” can explode and can cause a “run-away” vehi-
cle condition.
Never use starting assist fluids.
NOTICE
You can damage the starter or the engine if you try to start the
engine when the vehicle is still moving, or if you try to restart the
engine right after switching it off.
Avoid high engine speeds, full throttle acceleration, and heavy
engine loads when the engine is cold.
Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle.
Unburned fuel can get into the catalytic converter and damage it.
The steering column may also be locked.
Do not let your vehicle warm up while standing; instead, start
driving right away after making sure that you have good visibility
through all windows. This will help the engine reach operating tem-
perature faster and keep down emissions.
If the remote control vehicle key battery is weak or dead, the
starter button will not start the engine. In this case, start the engine by
inserting the vehicle key in the ignition switch ⇒ Vehicle key positions
in the ignition switch.
Major consumers of electricity are temporarily switched off when
the engine is being started.
After starting a cold engine, there may be increased operating
noises for a few seconds. This is normal and harmless.

If the vehicle battery is dead, the electronic parking brake cannot
be released. Use a jump-start ⇒  Jump-starting.
You may hear noises when setting or releasing the electronic
parking brake.
If the electronic parking brake is not used for a while, an automat-
ic system check will occasionally run when the vehicle is parked. This
system check makes audible noises.
Parking

Never use or attempt to charge a damaged or frozen battery,
or a battery that was frozen but has thawed. Charging a frozen
or thawed battery could cause explosions and chemical burns!
Replace damaged or frozen vehicle batteries immediately. A
dead battery can freeze at temperatures around +32 °F (0 °C).
If the battery has a vent line or tube, make sure that it is
properly connected to the battery.
Always make sure that the vent line is securely attached to a
vehicle battery that is located in the luggage compartment.

Do not expose the vehicle battery to direct sunlight for an ex-
tended period of time as ultraviolet rays may damage the battery
housing.
If the vehicle is left standing in the cold for a long time, protect
the vehicle battery from freezing. A battery will be permanently
damaged by freezing.

sive hydrogen gas.
Charge vehicle batteries only in well-ventilated areas.
Never charge a frozen or thawed battery. A dead battery can
freeze at temperatures around +32 °F (0 °C).
You must replace the vehicle battery if it was frozen.
Incorrectly connected cables can cause a short-circuit. First
connect the positive cable (+) and then the negative cable (-).
NOTICE
Never disconnect the vehicle battery or connect 2 vehicle bat-
teries to each other when the ignition is switched on or the en-
gine is running. Doing this may damage the electrical system or
electronic components.
Never use a vehicle battery that does not meet the specifica-
tions for the vehicle battery for your vehicle. Using the wrong
battery can damage the electrical system or electronic compo-
nents and cause electrical malfunctions.
Never connect power generating equipment, such as a solar
panel or battery charger, to the 12 Volt socket in order to charge
the vehicle battery. This can damage the vehicle's electrical sys-
tem.
Dispose of the vehicle battery according to regulations. Vehicle
batteries contain poisonous substances such as sulfuric acid and
lead.
Battery acid can pollute the environment. Catch leaking operating
fluids and dispose of them properly.
