WARNING

Improper use of the power sunroof can result in serious per-

sonal injury.

Always make sure that no one is in the way of the power sun-

roof when it is closing.

Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle.

Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle – par-

ticularly if they have access to the vehicle key. Unsupervised

use of the remote control vehicle key makes it possible to lock

the vehicle, start the engine, turn on the ignition and operate

the sunroof.

You can still open or close the power sunroof for several

minutes after you switch off the ignition, as long as the driver

or front passenger door has not been opened.

NOTICE

To help prevent damage, remove ice and snow from the sun-

roof before opening or tilting it in winter weather.

Always close the sunroof before leaving the vehicle or if it be-

gins raining. If the sunroof is open or tilted, rain could enter the

vehicle interior and cause extensive damage to the electrical

system. This could result in further vehicle damage.

Remove leaves and other objects from the sunroof guiderails

regularly either by hand or using a vacuum cleaner.

If the power sunroof malfunctions, pinch protection may not func-

tion properly. See an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized

Volkswagen Service Facility.
