Unusual noises when braking

worn.
1. In this case, go to a suitably qualified workshop immediately and have the system checked. Volkswagen recommends using an
authorised Volkswagen repairer.
2. All brake pads should be checked and renewed as necessary.

sudden lengthening of the stopping distance:
1. In this case, go to a suitably qualified workshop immediately and have the system checked. Volkswagen recommends using an

The immobiliser helps to prevent the vehicle’s drive system from being activated and driven with an unauthorised vehicle key.
Vehicles with starter button
The vehicle key contains a chip that automatically deactivates the immobiliser when a valid vehicle key is located in the vehicle interior.
The electronic immobiliser is automatically activated as soon as the ignition is switched off (→ Starter button).
The vehicle’s drive system can be activated only when a Volkswagen Genuine vehicle key with the correct code is used. Coded
vehicle keys are available from an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
