Servicing the vehicle is not only about vehicle maintenance – it also ensures that your
vehicle remains roadworthy and in perfect working order. Servicing work should therefore be
carried out in accordance with the service schedule. Some work may have to be carried out before
the due date of the next service if the vehicle is subjected to severe operating conditions. Severe
operating conditions are, for example, regular stop and go driving and driving in areas with high
levels of dust. Further information can be obtained from your Volkswagen dealership or qualified
workshop.

DANGER
Improper or unsupervised use of the vehicle key can lead to accidents or injuries.
•Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. Children or
unauthorised persons could lock the doors and tailgate, start the engine, switch on the
ignition and thus operate electrical equipment, such as the electric windows.
•Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could
become trapped in the vehicle in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to
safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low
temperatures, according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or
fatalities, especially for small children.

 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Description of the central locking system
⇒ Locking or unlocking the vehicle from outside
⇒ Locking or unlocking the vehicle from the inside
⇒ SAFELOCK mechanism
The central locking system will only work correctly when all doors and the tailgate are properly
closed. The vehicle cannot be locked with the key if the driver door is open.
If the vehicle is unlocked and not used for a long time (e.g. in your own garage) the vehicle battery
could discharge or the engine may not start.

Description of the central locking system
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The central locking system enables you to lock and unlock all doors and the tailgate from one point:
•From outside the vehicle with the vehicle key ⇒ Locking or unlocking the vehicle from outside.
•From inside the vehicle with the central locking button ⇒ Locking or unlocking the vehicle from
the inside.
Certain functions for the central locking system can be activated or deactivated by a qualified
workshop.
The doors and the tailgate can be locked or unlocked manually if the vehicle key or central locking
system fails.
Locking the vehicle after the airbags have been triggered
The entire vehicle is unlocked if the airbags are activated during an accident. After an accident, the
vehicle can be locked by one of the methods below, depending on the damage incurred.
FunctionAction
Locking the vehicle with the
central locking button.
– Switch off the ignition.
– Open one of the vehicle doors once.
– Press the central locking button .
Locking the vehicle using the
vehicle key.
– Switch off the ignition.
OR: remove the key from the ignition lock.
– Open one of the vehicle doors once.
– Lock the vehicle with the vehicle key.
Improper use of the central locking system could lead to serious injury.
•The central locking system locks all doors. Locking the vehicle from the inside may
prevent the doors from being opened unintentionally and unauthorised persons from
entering the vehicle. However, locked doors can delay assistance to passengers inside
the vehicle in the event of an accident or emergency.
•Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. All doors can be
locked from the inside using the central locking button. This may mean that people lock
themselves in the vehicle. People locked in the vehicle may be subjected to very high or
very low temperatures.
•Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may reach extremes of heat or cold, according to
season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially for small
children.
•Never leave anyone inside a locked vehicle. People in the vehicle could become trapped
in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to safety.
WARNING

In some vehicles it is possible to set the screen of the portable navigation device (delivered
by Volkswagen) ⇒ Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts to display whether the
tailgate is open or not properly closed.
Opening the tailgate
Fig. 27 In the vehicle key: tailgate release button
Fig. 28 Opening the tailgate from the outside
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
It will not be possible to open the tailgate if, for example, bicycles are mounted on a carrier attached
to it ⇒. Remove the load from the carrier and support the open tailgate.
Opening with the central locking system
•Press the button in the vehicle key ⇒ Fig. 27 for approximately one second to unlock
the tailgate.
•Press the button ⇒ Fig. 28① and lift the tailgate using the grip ②.
Opening with the mechanical vehicle key
Incorrect and unsupervised unlocking, opening or closing of the tailgate can cause accidents
and serious injuries.
•Therefore the tailgate should only be opened or closed when you are sure that nobody is
in its path.
•Never close the tailgate by pushing it down with your hand on the window. The rear
window could shatter and cause injuries.
•After closing the tailgate, check to ensure that it is closed and locked correctly so that it
does not open while the vehicle is in motion. The closed tailgate must be flush with the
surrounding body panels.
•Always keep the tailgate closed while the vehicle is in motion so that no toxic exhaust
fumes can enter the vehicle interior.
•Never open the tailgate if a load is attached to it, e.g. a rack or luggage carrier. It may also
not possible to open the tailgate if there are objects attached to it, e.g. bicycles. The
additional load might cause the open tailgate to close by itself. Support the tailgate as
necessary or remove the load from the surface.
•Close and lock the tailgate and all vehicle doors when the vehicle is not in use. Ensure
that no one remains in the vehicle.
•Never leave children playing unattended in or around the vehicle, especially when the
tailgate is open. Children could climb into the luggage compartment and shut the tailgate,
thereby trapping themselves inside. Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may reach
extremes of heat or cold, according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness
or fatalities, especially for small children.
•Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could use
the vehicle key or central locking button to lock the vehicle and thereby trap themselves
inside.
WARNING
Before opening the tailgate, please check that there is enough space to open and close the
tailgate, e.g. when in a garage.
