The Infotainment system combines key vehicle systems in a central operating unit, e.g. menu 
settings, radio or navigation system. 
General information on operation 
The following section contains relevant information on the settings that can be adjusted in the 
Vehicle settings menu. Basic information on operating the Infotainment system and on warning and 
safety instructions is contained in a separate manual ⇒BookletInfotainment system,.

been unlocked. 
Troubleshooting

Keyless Access does not work 
The function of the sensors may be restricted if they become very dirty. 
Clean the sensors.

Doors and central locking button 
 Introduction 
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects: 
⇒ Indicator lamp in the driver door  
⇒ Automatic locking and unlocking  
⇒ Central locking button  
⇒ Opening and closing the driver door manually  
⇒ Manually closing the front passenger door and rear doors  
⇒ Childproof lock  
⇒ SAFELOCK  
⇒ Troubleshooting  
If the vehicle key or central locking fails, the doors can be locked manually and, in some cases, also 
unlocked manually. 
The central locking system enables you to centrally lock and unlock all the doors, the boot lid and 
the tank flap of the vehicle.  

Please note that the sensors in the door handles can be activated by a powerful jet of water or 
steam if a valid vehicle key is simultaneously within the operating range. If at least one window is 
open and sensor surfaces on the door handles are continuously activated, all windows will close. All 
windows could open if the jet of water or steam is moved away from the door handle sensors briefly 
and then moved back again ⇒  . 
 
It may not be possible to lock or unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Access if the 12-volt vehicle 
battery or button cell in the vehicle key is weak or discharged. The vehicle can be locked or unlocked 
manually ⇒  . 
 
If there is no valid vehicle key in the vehicle or if it is not detected, a corresponding message will be 
shown on the instrument cluster display. This may occur if the vehicle key is exposed to interference 
from another radio signal or is covered by another item, e.g. an aluminium case ⇒ Starting and 
stopping the engine . 
Anti-theft alarm 
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, the vehicle may have an anti-theft alarm. 
The anti-theft alarm is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked using the vehicle key. 
The anti-theft alarm outputs acoustic and visual warning signals for up to five minutes. 
When does the system trigger an alarm? 
If a door is opened. 
If the bonnet is opened. 
If the boot lid is opened. 
If the ignition is switched on with a valid vehicle key. (The alarm may sound briefly.) 
If the 12-volt vehicle battery is disconnected. 
If there is movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles with interior monitoring) ⇒ Interior monitoring 
system and anti-tow alarm . 
If the vehicle is lifted or towed (vehicles with anti-tow alarm) ⇒ Interior monitoring system and anti-
tow alarm . 
If the vehicle is transported on a car ferry or by rail (vehicles with anti-tow alarm or interior 
monitoring) ⇒ Interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm . 
If a trailer that is connected to the anti-theft alarm system is removed ⇒ Trailer towing . 
Switching off the alarm 
Unlock the vehicle using the unlocking button on the vehicle key.

WARNING 
The trailer can become detached from the towing vehicle if the towing bracket is unsuitable or 
incorrectly fitted. This can cause serious accidents and fatal injuries. 
 
Use only towing brackets which have been approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle type.

Electromagnetic radiation 
If a mobile phone or two-way radio is used without being connected to the external aerial, the 
electromagnetic radiation will not be optimally directed to the outside of the vehicle. Increased 
levels of radiation in the vehicle interior can occur in particular in the event of poor reception, e.g. in 
rural areas. This can pose a health risk ⇒ . 
With some equipment levels, a suitable mobile phone interface may be used to connect the mobile 
telephone to the external aerial ⇒BookletInfotainment system,. The connection quality is improved 
and the range is increased. 
Using the telephone 
Many countries require a hands-free system to be used when using a telephone inside the vehicle, 
e.g. via a Bluetooth ® connection. Secure the mobile telephone to a suitable holder before using it ⇒
  or stow it securely away in one of the stowage compartments provided, e.g. in the centre 
console. 
Use a compatible mobile phone if the mobile phone interface uses SIM Access Profile (rSAP) 
technology. If the LTE mobile standard is supported, use a SIM card with LTE data option. 
Radio communication 
Observe any legal requirements and the manufacturer's owner's manual when using radio 
communication devices. Two-way radios must be approved if they are to be retrofitted in the 
vehicle. 
Contact your Volkswagen dealership for further information on installing a two-way radio. 
 
WARNING 
Mobile telephones which are loosely placed in the vehicle or not properly secured could be flung 
through the interior and cause injuries during a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the 
event of an accident. 
them safely. 
 
WARNING 
If mobile telephones or two-way radios that are not connected to an external aerial are used, 
electromagnetic radiation in the vehicle could exceed limit values and thus be a health hazard for 
drivers and other vehicle occupants. This also applies to external aerials which have not been 
correctly installed.

Recycling and scrapping end-of-life vehicles 
Recycling end-of-life vehicles 
Volkswagen has already made provision for you to recycle your vehicle in an environmentally 
responsible manner. The extensive recycling systems operating in many European countries will take 
back your vehicle at the end of its useful life. Once the vehicle has been recycled, a certificate of 
destruction will be issued to show that the vehicle has been disposed of correctly. 
Return of end-of-life vehicles is free of charge, provided that national legislation is complied with. 
Further information on return and recycling of end-of-life vehicles is available from a Volkswagen 
dealership. 
Scrapping 
The relevant safety requirements must be observed when the vehicle or its individual components, 
e.g. from the airbag system and belt tensioners, are scrapped. Qualified workshops are familiar with 
these regulations. 
Information about vehicles with N1 approval (light commercial vehicle) 
Please observe the following for vehicles used to transport goods with a maximum permitted weight 
of up to 3.5 t (N1 approval in Europe): 
Variants and number of seats 
There are various types of N1 vehicles based on a Volkswagen passenger car. The number of seats 
may be restricted to two or four.
