Closing and locking doors (Keyless Exit)
x Switch off the ignition.
x Close the driver door.
x Touch the sensor surface in the door handle on the driver or front passenger door ⇒ fig. 28 (2) B once. The vehicle is locked. The door being locked must be closed.
Unlocking and locking the rear hatch (Keyless Entry for the rear hatch)
If the vehicle is locked and a valid vehicle key is within range ⇒ fig. 28 A of the rear hatch, it unlocks automatically when opened.
x Open and close the rear hatch as you would a standard rear hatch ⇒  Rear hatch.
The rear hatch locks automatically when it is closed except in the following situations:
x The vehicle is completely unlocked.
x When an authorized vehicle key is inside the vehicle.
Locking with a second vehicle key
If a remote control vehicle key is inside the passenger compartment, the vehicle can be locked from the outside only if a second valid key is within range.
When the vehicle is locked from the outside, the keyless go (starting) function of any keys left in the passenger compartment will be deactivated. All other functions (remote central locking and unlocking as well as emergency starting) remain active and unchanged.
A key that was inside the vehicle when it was locked from the outside is reactivated:
x By pressing a button on the deactivated key.
x By pressing a door handle sensor when the deactivated key is outside of the vehicle, but within range.
x By starting the engine with the starter button on the front center console.
Automatic deactivation of sensors
If the vehicle has not been unlocked or locked for a longer period of time, the proximity sensors in the passenger door are automatically deactivated.
If a sensor on the door handle of a locked vehicle is activated too often, for instance by a bush or hedge that rubs against the vehicle, the sensors in the door handle on that side of the vehicle are switched off for 30 minutes.
The sensors become active again when the vehicle is locked with the vehicle key and the ignition is switched on one time.
The sensors become active again if one of the following events occurs:
x 30 minutes have passed.
x OR: The vehicle is unlocked using the 0 button in the remote control vehicle key.
x OR: The rear hatch is opened.
x OR: The vehicle is mechanically unlocked using the emergency vehicle key.
Convenience features
To use the convenience closing feature to close all power windows, hold your finger on the lock sensor surface (2) on the outside of the door handle for a few seconds until the windows close.
Remove your finger from the lock sensor surface (2) to stop the function. If you touch the unlock sensor surface 1 on the inside of the door handle immediately after releasing the lock sensor surface 1 (arrow), all of the windows will open (safety function). Pinch protection is active during convenience closing of the windows.
The settings in the Settings – Convenience menu ⇒  Volkswagen Information System determine which doors open when the door handle sensor surface is touched.

x Disconnecting an anti-theft system integrated trailer ⇒  Trailer towing.
Deactivating the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlock button on the remote control vehicle key and switch on the ignition with a valid remote control vehicle key.
For vehicles with Keyless Access, the alarm can be deactivated by grasping one of the door handles when a valid vehicle key is in range or by holding the remote control vehicle key to the right of the
steering column trim and pressing the starter button ⇒  Unlocking or locking vehicles with Keyless Access.
After the alarm has stopped and the vehicle is opened again in the same or a different area that is protected by the alarm, the alarm is triggered again. For example, the alarm will sound again if the rear hatch is opened after one of the doors has been opened.
The anti-theft alarm system is not activated when the vehicle is locked with the power lock switch 1 on the inside of the driver or front passenger doors.
If the driver door is mechanically unlocked with the emergency key, only the driver door is un-locked, but not the entire vehicle. Switching on the ignition deactivates the anti-theft alarm system and activates the central locking button. To unlock the doors, use the central locking button or remote control vehicle key.
If the vehicle battery is dead or weak, the anti-theft alarm system will not work properly.

Headlight settings
Towing a trailer can raise the front end of the vehicle enough for the low beams to blind other road users. Use the headlight range adjustment feature to lower the light cones as required. If your vehicle does not have headlight range adjustment, have the headlights adjusted by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Vehicles with Xenon headlights self-adjust to vehicle load and do not need manual adjustment.
Special towing considerations
x If the trailer has an overrun brake, apply the brakes gently at first and then firmly. This helps to prevent sudden brake shock and helps prevent trailer wheels from locking up.
x Due to the combined towing weight including the higher gross vehicle weight, the stopping distance is longer.
x Before driving downhill, especially on hills that are long or steep, shift into a lower gear so that the engine helps to brake the vehicle. Otherwise, the brake system could overheat and might fail.
x The vehicle's center of gravity and, in turn, the vehicle's handling, will change because of the trailer load and the increased combined towing weight of the vehicle and trailer.
x Weight distribution is especially bad if the towing vehicle is empty and the trailer is loaded. If you absolutely must drive with this combination, drive with extra care and at a reduced speed.
Starting off with a trailer on hills
Depending on how steep the hill is and the combined towing weight, a parked vehicle with trailer can roll backwards when you first start moving.
When starting off with a trailer on a hill:
x Depress and hold the brake pedal.
x Put the transmission in Drive (D).
x Press the G button once to deactivate the electronic parking brake ⇒ page 411, Braking and parking.
x Pull and hold the G button to hold the vehicle and trailer with the electronic parking brake ⇒  Braking and parking.
x At the same time, release the brake pedal and gradually depress the accelerator. Do not release the G button until the engine starts to move the vehicle forward. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, you can also depress and hold the brake pedal for added braking and then let up on the brake pedal when you feel that the vehicle “wants” to move forward.
x Drive ahead slowly.

public roads as far as possible.
Off-road : The start point for route guidance will be reached in off-road
mode and any available roads will not be used.

When route guidance starts, the system will switch to the map view.
An audible signal is given when the starting point of the waypoint tour has been reached.
During route guidance
Characteristics of the terrain are ignored during route guidance. A driving recommendation will be given about 55 yards (50 meters) before reaching a turning point. You should therefore drive slowly and follow recommendations for turning as far as possible!
Changes in the direction of travel will be given in relation to the current direction of travel, such as “Please travel in direction 9 o'clock!”.
The tendency of the direction of travel will be shown in the instrument cluster display using arrows.
Stopping route guidance
x Press the Infotainment button NAV in the map display to open the Waypoint navigation menu.
x Press the Stop function key.

x Press the NAV Infotainment button or the ... ... function key to switch to the Navigation main menu.
x In the Navigation main menu, press the NAV Infotainment button or MAP function key to switch back to the map view.
The map is displayed in the most recently selected type (2D or 3D). 3D and “Autozoom” are activated by default
Alternative routes: Selecting a calculated route
In the Navigation settings menu, you can specify that 3 alternative routes are suggested on the map after the start of route guidance. These 3 routes correspond to the available route criteria Fast, Short and Economical route. Route 1 corresponds to the current setting in this case.
x Select the required route by pressing on the right of the map.
The setting for the route criteria in the Route options menu is changed accordingly.
If no route is selected then route guidance starts automatically after about one minute, using the setting selected in the Route options.
Interrupting route guidance
Active route guidance can be stopped and later resumed from the new vehicle position at any time in the Navigation main menu.
x In the Navigation main menu, press the Stop function key ⇒ fig. 216.
