Opening and closing for Your Volkswagen Golf 4 Door Seventh Generation (2017-2020)

WARNING  
The vehicle exhaust system and the catalytic converter get very hot. They can cause fires and serious personal injury.  
Never park where parts of the hot exhaust system or catalytic converter could ignite flammable materials, such as dry grass, brush, leaves, spilled fuel, etc.  
NOTE  
To help prevent damage to the vehicle if you should have to push it a short distance by hand, never push against spoilers, lights, body panels, windows, or  
similar parts. Concentrating force on these parts of the vehicle can cause expensive damage that may not always be obvious right away.  
The vehicle battery will be drained if the emergency flashers are on for a long time – even if the ignition is switched off.

Introduction to the subject  
In this chapter you will find information on the following subjects:  
⇒ Remote control vehicle keyꢀ  
⇒ Replacing the remote control vehicle key battery ꢀ  
DANGER!  
20 mm button cells and other lithium batteries will cause serious personal injury and even death within a short time if swallowed.  
Always keep remote control vehicle key fobs with batteries, spare batteries, as well as dead button cell and larger 20 mm batteries out of the reach of  
children.  
Get medical attention immediately if you suspect that a battery has been swallowed.  
WARNING  
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal injury.  
Always switch off the engine and the ignition and take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. It can be used to start the engine and operate vehicle  
systems such as the power windows, leading to serious personal injury. Children or other unauthorized persons could also lock the doors and the trunk lid.  
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who cannot help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked with the remote control vehicle  
key. This could leave people 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, particularly to small children.  
Never remove the key from the ignition switch or turn off the ignition with the starter button while the vehicle is moving or rolling to a stop. The electronic  
steering column could suddenly lock, you would not be able to steer, and you could lose control of the vehicle, crash, and seriously injure yourself and  
others.

Each new vehicle key contains a microchip and must be coded with the data from the vehicle's electronic immobilizer. A vehicle key will not work if it does not  
contain a microchip or contains a chip that is not coded, even if the key bit was cut correctly.  
You can obtain additional or duplicate remote control vehicle keys from authorized Volkswagen dealers, authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities, and from certain  
independent repair facilities and locksmiths which are qualified to make remote control vehicle keys.  
Each vehicle key must be programmed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer, an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or certain independent repair facilities in  
order for it to work with your vehicle.  
To find the nearest qualified independent repair facility, locksmith, or Volkswagen dealer which can cut and code replacement vehicle keys, call the VW Customer  
Care Hotline at 1-800-822-8987 or visit and search for replacement keys.  
Canadian customers can contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen Service Facility or call the Volkswagen Canada Customer CARE Center at 1-

Do not press the buttons on the remote control vehicle key unless you actually want to use the function in question. Since terrain and conditions vary,  
pressing a button on the remote control vehicle key when it is not necessary may unlock the vehicle or set off the panic alarm, even if you think you are out of  
range.  
Remote control vehicle key functions can be temporarily disrupted by interference from transmitters near the vehicle that use the same frequency range (such  
as radio equipment or mobile phones).  
Things between the remote control vehicle key and vehicle, bad weather, as well as a weak battery can reduce the operating range.  
If the remote control vehicle key buttons ⇒ Fig. 55ꢀ or the power locking buttons ⇒ Fig. 58ꢀ are pushed repeatedly in quick succession, the power locking  
system is switched off for a brief period to help keep it from being overloaded. During this period, the vehicle can be unlocked only once. After several  
seconds, the power locking system is switched back on and the vehicle can be locked again.

Power locking system  
Introduction to the subject  
In this chapter you will find information on the following subjects:  
⇒ Indicator light in the driver doorꢀ  
⇒ Description of the power locking system ꢀ  
95  
⇒ Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the outside ꢀ  
⇒ Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the inside ꢀ  
⇒ Unlocking or locking the vehicle with Keyless Access ꢀ  
⇒ Anti-theft alarm systemꢀ  
⇒ Locking the vehicle after airbag inflation ꢀ  
The power locking system works properly only when all doors and the trunk lid are completely closed. When the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked  
with the remote control vehicle key.  
For vehicles equipped with Keyless Access with push-button start, the vehicle can be locked only if the ignition is switched off and the driver door is closed.  
Leaving the vehicle unlocked for longer periods of non-use (for example, in your garage) can cause the vehicle battery to drain so that the engine can no longer be  
started.  
WARNING  
Improper use of power locks can result in serious personal injury.  
The power locking button locks all doors. Locking the doors from the inside can help prevent unintended door opening during a collision and can also  
prevent unwanted entry from the outside. Locked doors can, however, delay assistance to vehicle occupants and rescue from the outside in an accident or  
other emergency.  
Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in the vehicle. All doors can be locked from the inside with the power lock button. This  
could leave people 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, particularly to small children.  
Never allow passengers to remain in a locked vehicle. In an emergency any person still inside the vehicle might not be able to get out.  
Certain settings can be saved in the personalized user profiles ⇒ Personalized user profilesꢀ.

100  
The anti-theft alarm system is not activated when the vehicle is locked with the power locking button  
on the inside of the driver or front passenger doors.  
If the driver door is mechanically unlocked using the vehicle key bit, only the driver door is unlocked, not the entire vehicle. Switching on the ignition  
deactivates the anti-theft alarm system and activates the central locking button. To unlock the doors, use the central locking button or remote control vehicle  
key.  
If the vehicle battery is dead or weak, the anti-theft alarm system will not work properly.

Trunk lid  
Introduction to the subject  
In this chapter you will find information on the following subjects:  
⇒ Displayꢀ  
⇒ Opening the trunk lidꢀ  
⇒ Closing the trunk lid ꢀ  
⇒ Opening the trunk lid from inside the luggage compartment ꢀ  
WARNING  
Accidents and severe personal injuries can result if you unlock, open, or close the trunk lid when someone is in the way.  
Only open or close the trunk lid if no one is in the way.  
Never close the trunk lid by pushing on the rear window with your hand. The rear window could break and cause injuries.  
After closing the trunk lid, always make sure that it is properly closed and locked so that it cannot open suddenly when the vehicle is moving. The closed  
trunk lid must be flush with the surrounding auto body parts.  
Always keep the trunk lid closed while driving to help keep poisonous exhaust gas from being drawn into the vehicle.  
Never open the trunk lid when a luggage rack is installed and loaded. If, for example, there are bicycles on a carrier on the trunk lid, it is possible that the  
trunk lid will be difficult to open. An open trunk lid may fall on its own because of the additional weight. If necessary, prop open the trunk lid. Remove the  
weight from the luggage rack first.  
Close and lock the trunk lid and all doors when the vehicle is not in use. First, make sure that no one is left inside the vehicle.  
104  
Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play around your vehicle, especially when the trunk lid is open. A child could crawl into the vehicle and  
pull the trunk lid shut, becoming trapped and unable to get out. 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, particularly to small children.  
Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in the vehicle. They may lock the vehicle with the vehicle key or the power locking  
button and lock themselves in.  
Never let children play in or around the vehicle.  
Never let anyone ride in the luggage compartment.  
NOTE  
Before opening or closing the trunk lid, make sure there is enough room to do so, for example, when the vehicle has a trailer or is in a garage.  
NOTE  
Never use the gas-pressure strut to hold or clamp a load in place. This can damage the trunk lid and make it impossible to close.  
NOTE  
Never use the rear windshield wiper or the rear spoiler to fix a load in place. This can damage the trunk lid and cause the windshield wiper or spoiler to be  
torn off.
