Opening and Closing -> Doors for Your Volkswagen ID.5 SUV First Generation (2021-2025)

1. Do not deactivate the vehicle’s drive system.  
2. Bring the vehicle key back into the vehicle.  
depending on the equipment, remove the vehicle key from the immediate vicinity of the wireless charging function. Then  
place the vehicle key in the stowage area of the centre console.  
If the problem persists, go to a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.  
If at least one window is open and the sensors in a door handle are continuously activated, all windows will close.  
If the message Keyless Access system faulty appears on the instrument cluster, malfunctions can occur in the Keyless Access  
system. Go to a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.  
The Keyless Access function may not work properly if the vehicle key is subject to interference from another radio signal, e.g. a  
mobile telephone in the direct vicinity, or is covered by another object such as a metal case. If there is no vehicle key in the  
vehicle or if it is not detected, a corresponding message will be shown in the instrument cluster.  
The doors can be locked manually and, in some cases, also unlocked manually, if the vehicle key or central locking fails, for example.  
The central locking system enables you to centrally lock and unlock all the doors, the boot lid and the charging socket flap of the  
vehicle.  
The vehicle can be locked if the ignition has been switched off or the driver has deactivated the vehicle’s drive system before leaving  
the vehicle.  
Display with open doors  
A symbol in the instrument cluster indicates if one or more doors are not closed properly.  
Do not drive on!  
1. Park the vehicle safely if necessary.  
2. Open the door in question and then close it again.  
This symbol is also visible when the ignition is switched off and will go out a few seconds after the vehicle has been locked when all  
doors are closed.  
WARNING  
Any door that is not properly closed could open suddenly while the vehicle is in motion. This could lead to severe or fatal injuries.  
Stop immediately as soon as traffic permits and close the door.  
Make sure that the door is closed properly and that the lock has engaged. The closed door must be flush with the surrounding body  
panels.  
WARNING  
Any door being held open by the door arrester could close unexpectedly in strong winds or if the vehicle is on an uphill slope. This  
could lead to serious injuries.  
Always hold the door handle firmly when opening and closing doors.  
WARNING  
Opening and closing the doors and boot lid without taking due care is dangerous and can cause serious injuries.  
Open or close the doors and boot lid only when there is no-one in their movement path.  
WARNING  
The central locking system locks all doors. In the event of an emergency or an accident, locked doors can make it more difficult for  
persons providing assistance to gain access to the vehicle interior. If the vehicle is locked from the outside, the doors and electric  
windows cannot be opened from the inside. There is a risk of serious or fatal injuries.  
Never leave children, people requiring assistance or animals unattended in the vehicle.  
WARNING  
All doors can be locked from the inside using the central locking button. This may mean that children, people requiring assistance or  
animals lock themselves in the vehicle. In an emergency, they may not be able to leave the vehicle independently or to help  
themselves. In addition, they could also be exposed to very high or low temperatures. There is a risk of serious or fatal injuries.  
Never leave children, people requiring assistance or animals unattended in the vehicle.  
NOTICE  
Removing the caps without taking due care can damage the vehicle.  
When carrying out manual opening or closing, remove parts carefully and fit them again correctly.  
Locking the vehicle from the inside can prevent accidental opening of the doors and unauthorised persons from entering the  
vehicle.  
People who are locked in the vehicle can unlock the doors in an emergency by pulling the door release lever forcefully twice.  
The lever must be pulled beyond a noticeable resistance in this case.  
Opening doors from outside  
1. Unlock the vehicle with the vehicle key.  
2. Grip the door handle and press and hold the button on the inner side of the door handle.  
3. Pull open the door.  
Opening doors from inside  
1. Pull the door release lever up to the point of resistance and push open the door. Do not pull the door release lever beyond the  
point of resistance.  
If the vehicle was locked from outside, the door release lever must be pulled twice up to its limit position in order to open the  
door from inside.  
Convenience features  
If you sit on the driver seat when the ignition is switched off, the following convenience features will be activated:  
The air conditioning system is available.  
Some of the convenience consumers, e.g. the Infotainment system, are available.  
The roll-away protection remains activated.  
The ignition is still switched off.  
The ignition is switched on only by pressing the starter button or by depressing the brake when there is a detected key (→ Starter  
button).  
If the ignition has been switched off again and you are still sitting in the driver seat, the vehicle remains in Comfort mode until you get  
out. Additional deactivations are possible due to a low 12 V battery charge level, after a period of 30 minutes has elapsed, or if the  
vehicle is locked.
