interior. In an emergency, this could cause serious or fatal injuries.

Never leave children or people requiring assistance unattended in the vehicle when the vehicle is locked.

NOTICE

If the windows are open, precipitation can enter the vehicle and soak the interior equipment, which could restrict the

function of the controls or damage them.

Close all windows if there is precipitation.

If the power windows are malfunctioning, the one-touch opening and closing function and the pinch protection may not

function correctly. Contact a suitably qualified professional. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen

dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Convenience opening and closing only functions if the one-touch opening and closing function is activated for all the
