Power sunroof – convenience closing feature  
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS  
.
Convenience closing  
The convenience closing feature lets you close the power sunroof as follows:  
Remove the cover cap from the concealed lock cylinder on the driver door..  
Turn the vehicle key bit in the lock of the driver door to the closing position and hold it there. The  
power sunroof closes. Release the vehicle key to stop the process.  
Vehicles with Keyless Access: hold your finger on the lock sensor surface on the outside of the  
door handle for a few seconds until the windows and power sunroof close.  
Convenience closing first closes the windows and then the power sunroof.  
Convenience closing of the power sunroof from the outside leaves the rotary switch in the last  
selected position. The switch must be newly positioned when starting to drive again.  
If convenience closing of the power sunroof requires removing the cover cap of the lock cylinder  
on the driver door, the cover cap must be reinstalled after the vehicle is locked..

If the sunroof still will not close, contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized  
Volkswagen Service Facility.  
WARNING  
Careless or unsupervised use of the sunroof can cause serious injuries.  
Always make sure that no one is in the way of the power sunroof when it is closing.  
Always take all vehicle keys with you when leaving the vehicle.  
Never leave children or persons requiring assistance unattended in the vehicle, especially  
if they have access to the vehicle key. Unsupervised use of the remote control vehicle key  
can lock the vehicle, start the engine, switch on the ignition and operate the sunroof.  
The sunroof can still be opened or closed for a short period after the ignition has been  
switched off, as long as the driver or passenger door is not opened.  
WARNING  
Closing the sunroof without pinch protection can cause severe injuries.  
Always be careful when closing the sunroof.  
Always make sure that no one is in the way when overriding pinch protection to close the  
sunroof.  
Pinch protection does not prevent fingers or other body parts from being pressed against  
the roof frame, thereby causing injury.  
If the power sunroof malfunctions, pinch protection may not function properly. See an authorized  
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance.
