WARNING  
Improper use of power windows can result in serious personal injury.  
Never let anyone get in the way of a power window when closing it.  
When locking the vehicle from the outside, make sure that no one, especially children,  
remains in the vehicle. The windows will not open in case of an emergency.  
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. You can still use the power win-  
dows for several minutes after the ignition is switched off as long as the driver or front pas-  
senger door has not been opened.  
Always use the safety switch when children are in the back seat to disable the rear power  
windows and keep them from being opened and closed.  
If the power windows malfunction, the one-touch feature, as well as pinch protection may not  
work properly. See an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility right  
away.  
If convenience closing of the power windows from the outside requires removing the cover cap of  
the lock cylinder on the driver door, the cover cap must be reinstalled after the vehicle is locked,  
Manually unlocking and locking the driver door.  
Power window pinch protection  
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS  
Pinch protection can help reduce the risk of pinching injuries when closing a power window ⇒ꢀ . If  
one-touch window closing meets resistance or there is something in the way, the window will stop and  
go down again.  
Check why the window did not close.  
Try one-touch window closing again.  
If the window meets resistance a second time, so that it stops and goes back down, one-touch  
closing is deactivated for about 10 seconds.  
If you pull the power window button up all the way and hold it during this 10 second interval, the  
window will close without pinch protection ⇒ꢀ  
.
Closing the window without pinch protection  
Try to close the window again within 10 seconds by holding the switch. Pinch protection is  
turned off for a short distance in the window track!  
If closing takes longer than about 10 seconds, pinch protection is turned on again. The window  
stops again if there is resistance.  
If the window still will not close, please see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized  
Volkswagen Service Facility.  
WARNING  
Without pinch protection, power windows will close with enough force to cause serious per-  
sonal injury.  
Always be careful when closing power windows.  
Always make sure that no one is in the way when overriding pinch protection to close  
power windows!  
Pinch protection cannot prevent fingers or other parts of the body from being pressed  
against the window frame; injuries may result.  
Pinch protection is also active during convenience closing of the windows and the power sunroof,
