Opening and Closing -> Anti-theft alarm system for Your Volkswagen Taos SUV First Generation (2022-2025)

If there is no valid vehicle key in the vehicle or one is not detected, a message will appear in the instrument cluster display.  
This can occur if another signal interferes with the remote control vehicle key or if the remote control vehicle key is covered  
by an object, such as a metal case.  
Anti-theft alarm system  
The vehicle may be equipped with an anti-theft alarm system.  
The anti-theft alarm system monitors the doors, the hood, and the trunk lid.  
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically activated when you lock the vehicle.  
If an attempt is made to access the vehicle without using the appropriate vehicle key, this triggers the anti-theft alarm system,  
which emits audible and visual warning signals for up to five minutes.  
When is the alarm triggered?  
If a door that was unlocked manually using the vehicle key is opened.  
If the hood is opened.  
If the trunk lid is opened.  
If the ignition is switched on with an invalid vehicle key.  
If a device is connected to the diagnostic connection when the anti-theft alarm system is active.  
Switching off the alarm  
1. Unlock the vehicle with the  
unlock button on the vehicle key.  
2. Clasp the door handle and press the button “Keyless Access” with push-button start.  
3. Switch the ignition on.  
The anti-theft alarm system will not work correctly if the 12 V vehicle battery is weak or drained.  
Disconnecting the 12 V vehicle battery may set off the anti-theft alarm system.  
Trunk lid  
Introduction  
The trunk lid is unlocked and locked together with the doors.  
On vehicles with Keyless Access, the trunk lid is automatically unlocked when opening “Keyless Access” with push-button
