Get Doors -> Child safety lock Guide for Volkswagen Golf 4 Door Sixth Generation (2008-2017)

If a door is not closed properly, the vehicle icon appears in the instrument cluster display showing an

open door ⇒ fig. 11.

Depending on your vehicle's equipment and options, the icon may still be displayed even after the

ignition is switched off as long as the key has not been taken out of the ignition. The icon in the in-

strument cluster display goes out about 15 seconds after the vehicle has been locked.

ꢀ

Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who cannot help themselves, in the

vehicle when locking the doors. This could result in people being locked in the vehicle. This

could result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on the time of

year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.

ꢀ

A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending on the season. Particularly

in the summer, heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle

can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside temperatures.

Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particu-

larly to small children.
