Keyless Access is a keyless starting and locking system that unlocks and locks the vehicle without

active use of a remote control vehicle key. All you have to do is touch a sensor surface on one of the

door handles ⇒ꢀfig. 24 or push the Volkswagen emblem on the rear hatch.when a valid remote control

vehicle key is within range ⇒ꢀ

General information

When a valid vehicle key comes within range ⇒ꢀfig. 23, the Keyless Access locking and starting sys-

tem recognizes a valid vehicle entry request as soon as a door handle sensor is touched or the

Volkswagen emblem on the rear hatch is pressed. The following functions are then enabled without

active use of the remote control vehicle key:

ꢀ

Keyless Entry: Unlocking the vehicle with the sensor surfaces on the door handles of the driver or

passenger door ⇒ꢀfig. 24 (A) or by using the Volkswagen emblem on the rear hatch.

Keyless Go: Start the engine and drive. For this, you just have to press the starter button and a

valid remote control vehicle key must be inside the vehicle.

Keyless Exit: Locking the vehicle via the door handle sensor on the driver or passenger door (B).

ꢀ

The power locks and the closing system work like the standard unlocking and locking system. Only the

way that the systems are operated is different.

All turn signals flash twice to confirm that the vehicle has been unlocked and once to confirm that it

has been locked.

If the vehicle was unlocked and within the next few seconds neither a door nor the rear hatch has

been opened, the vehicle is automatically locked again.

Unlocking and opening doors (Keyless Entry)

ꢀ Grasp the door handle of the driver or front passenger door so that you touch the unlocking sensor

surface (A).

ꢀ

Open the door.

Closing and locking doors (Keyless Exit)

ꢀ

Switch the ignition off.

Close the driver door.

Touch the sensor surface in the door handle on the driver or front passenger door (B). The vehicle

is locked. The door being locked must be closed.

Unlocking and locking the rear hatch

If the vehicle is locked and a valid remote control vehicle key is within range ⇒ꢀfig. 23 of the rear hatch,

it unlocks automatically when opened.

ꢀ

Open and close the rear hatch as you would a standard rear hatch.

The rear hatch locks automatically when it is closed except in the following situations:

ꢀ

The vehicle is completely unlocked.

When an authorized remote control vehicle key is inside the vehicle.

Locking with a second vehicle key

If a remote control vehicle key is inside the passenger compartment, the vehicle can be locked from

the outside only if a second valid remote control vehicle key is within range.

When the vehicle is locked from the outside, the keyless go (starting) function of any keys left in the

passenger compartment will be deactivated. All other functions (remote central locking and unlocking

as well as emergency starting) remain active and unchanged.

A key that was inside the vehicle when it was locked from the outside is reactivated:

ꢀ

by pressing a button on the deactivated key.

by pressing a door handle sensor when the deactivated key is outside of the vehicle, but within

range.

ꢀ

by starting the engine with the starter button on the center console.

Automatic deactivation of sensors

If the vehicle has not been unlocked or locked for a longer period of time, the proximity sensors in the

passenger door are automatically deactivated.

If a sensor on the door handle of a locked vehicle is activated too often, for instance by a bush or

hedge that rubs against the vehicle, the sensors in the door handle on that side of the vehicle are

switched off for a short time.

The door handle sensors become active again if one of the following events occurs:

ꢀ

A short time has passed.

OR: The vehicle is unlocked using the ꢀ button in the remote control vehicle key.

OR: The rear hatch is opened.

OR: The vehicle is mechanically unlocked with the vehicle key.
