Get A Word About Your Keys -> Key Fob Guide for Volkswagen Routan SUV First Generation (2009-2014)

A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS

Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system

consists of a Key Fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

transmitter and a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) with

integral ignition switch. You can insert the Key Fob into

the ignition switch with either side up.

Wireless Ignition Node (WIN)

The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates similarly to

an ignition switch. It has four operating positions, three

with detents and one that is spring-loaded. The detent

positions are OFF, ACC, and ON. The START position is

a spring-loaded momentary contact position. When re-

leased from the START position, the switch automatically

returns to the ON position.

1 — OFF

2 — ACCESSORY

3 — ON

4 — START

Key Fob

The Key Fob operates the ignition switch. It also contains

the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and an

emergency key, which stores in the rear of the Key Fob.

The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle

should the battery in the vehicle or the RKE transmitter

go dead. The emergency key is also for locking the lower

glove compartment. You can keep the emergency key

with you when valet parking.

To remove the emergency key, slide the mechanical latch

at the top of the Key Fob sideways with your thumb and

then pull the key out with your other hand.

Emergency Key Removal

NOTE: You can insert the double-sided emergency key

into the lock cylinder with either side up.

Removing Key Fob From Ignition

Place the shift lever in PARK. Turn the ignition key to the

OFF position and then remove the Key Fob.

CAUTION!

An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always

remove the key from the ignition and lock all doors

when leaving the vehicle unattended.

NOTE: Power window switches will also remain active

for up to 90 seconds after the ignition switch has been

switched OFF, depending upon the accessory delay set-

ting. Opening the front door will cancel this feature.

Key-In-Ignition Reminder

Opening the driver’s door when the Key Fob is in the

ignition and the ignition switch position is LOCK or

ACC, a chime will sound to remind you to remove the

key.

WARNING!

NEVER leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving

unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a

number of reasons. A child or others could be seri-

ously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the key in the

ignition. A child could operate power windows,

other controls, or move the vehicle

NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds

when the Key Fob is placed in the LOCK or ACC

position.
