qualified professional. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Convenience opening and closing only functions if the one-touch opening and closing function is activated for all the power windows.

Power window pinch protection

The power window pinch protection can reduce the risk of being pinched and injured when the windows are closing.

is blocking the window, then the window will reopen automatically.

authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

WARNING

Closing the window when pinch protection is disabled can result in serious injuries.

Never allow anyone to be in the window operating area, especially if a window is closing when pinch protection is disabled.

The pinch protection does not prevent ﬁngers or other parts of the body from becoming injured by being pressed against the window frame.

Pinch protection also occurs when using the convenience closing function with the vehicle key.
