Careless or unsupervised use of the glass roof can cause serious or fatal injuries.  
Open or close the glass roof only when there is no-one in the operating path of the roof.  
Please note that the glass roof can still be opened or closed for a short time after the ignition has been switched off, provided that  
the driver door or front passenger door is not opened.  
WARNING  
If the vehicle key is left unattended in the vehicle, children or unauthorised persons could lock the vehicle, switch on the ignition,  
start the engine and operate the glass roof. This can result in accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.  
Take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle.  
CAUTION  
Depending on the equipment level, the position of the tilted glass roof may change automatically when driving above a certain speed  
in order to reduce wind noise. A moving glass roof can cause damage and injuries.  
Always make sure that there are no body parts or objects within the opening range of the glass roof.  
NOTICE  
If the glass roof is opened or tilted when it is raining or snowing, particularly in conditions with ice and snow, this can lead to damage  
to the vehicle interior and electrical system.  
At winter temperatures, always clear ice and snow from the vehicle roof before using the glass roof.  
Always close the glass roof when you leave the vehicle or if it starts to rain or snow.  
NOTICE  
The glass roof may be damaged if you operate the glass roof when a roof carrier is fitted.  
Always keep the glass roof closed when using a roof carrier.  
Remove leaves and other loose items from the glass roof guide rails at regular intervals using a vacuum cleaner or by hand.  
The roll-back function will not work properly if there is a fault with the glass roof. Go to a suitably qualified workshop.  
Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.  
Convenience opening and closing  
The glass roof can be opened and closed from outside the vehicle using the vehicle key:  
Not applicable for USA or Canada: Press and hold the locking or unlocking button on the vehicle key. The glass roof and the roller  
blind are opened or closed.  
On vehicles with the keyless locking and starting system Keyless Access: Place your finger on the locking sensor in the door handle  
for a few seconds until the glass roof is closed (→ Keyless Access).  
Release the locking or unlocking button to interrupt this function.  
Convenience closing closes all windows in the doors and the glass roof. After all windows and the glass roof have been closed, all turn  
signals will flash once as confirmation.  
Glass roof settings can be adjusted in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system. Convenience opening can be activated in the  
Infotainment system.  
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore change when the user account  
changes.  
The roll-back function reduces the risk of crush injuries . If the glass roof is impeded during the closing process, it will open again  
immediately.  
1. Check to see why the glass roof has not closed.  
2. Try to close the glass roof again.  
3. If the glass roof still cannot be closed, close it without the roll-back function.  
Closing the glass roof without the roll-back function  
1. If the glass roof cannot be closed, swipe forward over the function button within 5 seconds and hold until the glass roof is fully  
closed.  
2. Go to a suitably qualified workshop if the glass roof still cannot be closed. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised  
Volkswagen repairer.  
Depending on the position of the glass roof, the glass roof will stop if the touch control is released prematurely or will open again  
fully.  
WARNING  
Closing the glass roof without the roll-back function can cause serious or fatal injuries.  
Always take care when closing the glass roof.  
Close the glass roof only when there is no-one in its operating path, particularly if it is closed without the roll-back function.  
Please note that the roll-back function does not prevent fingers and parts of the body being trapped against the roof frame.  
The roll-back function is also activated if you use the convenience closing function on the vehicle key to close the windows and  
the glass roof.  
The glass roof will not close  
The glass roof only works when the ignition is switched on. The glass roof can still be opened or closed for a short time after the  
ignition has been switched off, provided that the driver door or front passenger door is not opened.  
If it is not possible to close the glass roof electrically, it must be closed manually. The glass roof cannot be closed manually without  
removing vehicle components. Go to a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen  
repairer.
