WARNING
Careless or unintended use of the remote start relay function can cause serious injuries.
Never start the engine in an enclosed space, e.g. in a garage. The exhaust can cause fatal poisoning and result in death through suffocation.
Only use the remote start relay function when no-one is in the vehicle and immediately before you intend to drive the vehicle.
Never start the engine if children or animals are in the vehicle. When the engine is running, the electrical seats may be used and can cause serious
injuries.
Never start the engine if the vehicle is covered with a protective cover. Hot vehicle components and exhaust can set the protective cover on fire and
cause serious injuries.
Never start the engine close to flammable or explosive materials. The exhaust could ignite the materials. This could cause a fire and serious injuries.
Never start the engine if the vehicle is out of visual range.
Never start the engine if the warning light
is turned on or blinking.
Using the remote start relay function may increase fuel consumption and discharge the 12-volt vehicle battery.
The use of the remote start relay function may be regulated or prohibited regionally in some countries. Always observe legal and local regulations relating to
the use of the remote start relay function!
During an active remote start relay, some vehicle functions are deactivated, e.g. the low beam headlight and the windshield wipers.
Electronic immobilizer
The immobilizer helps prevent the engine from being started and the vehicle from being moved with an unauthorized vehicle key.
For vehicles with an ignition lock: There is a chip in the vehicle key. The chip automatically deactivates the immobilizer if a valid vehicle key is inserted into the
ignition lock.
For vehicles with an ignition lock: The electronic immobilizer is activated automatically when the vehicle key is removed from the ignition lock.
For vehicles with a starter button: There is a chip in the vehicle key. It is used to automatically deactivate the electronic immobilizer when there is a valid remote
control vehicle key in the vehicle interior.
For vehicles with a starter button: The electronic immobilizer is automatically activated as soon as there is no valid vehicle key in the vehicle.
The engine can only be started with a Volkswagen Genuine vehicle key that is coded correctly. You can obtain coded vehicle keys from an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Only using Volkswagen Genuine vehicle keys will ensure that your vehicle operates correctly.
