Emergency closing and opening
ꢀ Introduction
In this section you’ll find information about:
Manually unlocking and locking the driver door
Manually locking the passenger doors
Opening the rear hatch from inside the luggage compartment
Emergency fuel filler flap release
Emergency release for the selector lever lock
The doors and the rear hatch can be manually locked and, in some cases, unlocked if necessary, for

Emergency closing of the power sunroof is not possible with means in the vehicle. Contact an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance.

In an emergency
WARNING
Serious injuries can result if the emergency closing and opening procedures are used
carelessly.
ꢀ
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who cannot help themselves in the
vehicle. The doors can be locked with the remote control vehicle key. This could result in
people being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency.
ꢀ
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending on the season. Particularly
in the summer, heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside temperatures.
Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death,
particularly to small children.
WARNING
Careless opening and closing of doors, the rear hatch, and the power sunroof is dangerous
and can cause serious personal injury.
ꢀ Open or close doors, the rear hatch, and the power sunroof only when no one is in the
way.
NOTICE
To help prevent vehicle damage, carefully remove and properly reinstall parts after emergency
locking or unlocking.
