The power locking button works whether the ignition is switched on or off but only when all doors are  
closed.  
If the vehicle is locked with the vehicle key, the power locking button is deactivated.  
If the vehicle is locked with the power locking button:  
The yellow indicator light in the power locking button comes on to indicate that all doors are  
locked.  
If the vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft alarm, the system is not turned on.  
Opening doors or the rear hatch from the outside is not possible, at a traffic light, for example.  
Doors can be unlocked and opened separately from inside the vehicle by pulling the door handle to  
open the door. The indicator light goes out. The unopened doors and rear hatch remain locked and  
cannot be opened from the outside.  
An open driver door will not be locked. This helps keep the driver from being locked out of the  
vehicle.  
The vehicle is unlocked if you push the button while the vehicle is standing still. It may also be  
unlocked when you take the vehicle key out of the ignition or, on vehicles with Keyless Access, when  
you open the driver door (Auto Open). Please see your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized  
Volkswagen Service Facility to have these settings adjusted.
