DANGER

Swallowing batteries with a diameter of 20 mm or other lithium batteries can result in severe

or even fatal injuries within a very short period of time.

•

Always keep the vehicle key, key ring with batteries, spare batteries, round cells and other

batteries that are larger than 20 mm out of the reach of children.

•

Call for medical help immediately you suspect that someone has swallowed a battery.

WARNING

Improper or unsupervised use of the vehicle key can lead to accidents or injuries.

•

Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. Children or

unauthorised persons could lock the doors and tailgate, start the engine, switch on the

ignition and thus operate electrical equipment, such as the electric windows.

•

Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could

become trapped in the vehicle in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to

safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low

temperatures, according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or

fatalities, especially for small children.

•

Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock when the vehicle is in motion. The

steering lock may be activated and you will no longer be able to steer the vehicle.

Vehicle key

Fig. 16 Vehicle key

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒

Introduction

Vehicle key

The key can be used to lock and unlock the car from a distance ⇒ Central locking system.

The remote control transmitter and the battery are integrated in the key. The receiver is located in

the vehicle interior. The remote control range is several metres around the vehicle when the battery

is fully charged.

If the vehicle cannot be opened and closed using the vehicle key, the vehicle key will have to be re-

synchronised ⇒ Synchronising the vehicle key, or the battery in the key replaced ⇒ Replacing the

battery.

Several vehicle keys can be used.

Opening and closing the key bit

Press button ⇒ Fig. 16① to release the key bit and open it.

To fold in, press button ① and simultaneously fold in the key bit until it clicks into place.

Replacement key

You will need to quote the vehicle chassis number when ordering a replacement key or additional

remote control keys.

Every new key contains a microchip which must be encoded with the data for the vehicle's

electronic immobilizer. The vehicle key will not work if it is not fitted with a microchip, or if the

microchip has not been encoded. The same goes for keys that have been cut to fit the vehicle.

New keys or replacement keys are available from Volkswagen dealerships or from qualified

workshops and authorised key services that are qualified to manufacture these vehicle keys.

New and replacement vehicle keys must be synchronised before use. Proceed to a qualified

workshop.

NOTICE

Every vehicle key contains electronic components. Protect the key from damage, moisture

and excessive vibration.

Press the buttons on the key only if the corresponding function is actually needed. Pressing

a button when the function is not required could lead to the vehicle being unlocked unintentionally

or the alarm going off. This also applies even when you are not within the effective range.

The function of the vehicle key can be affected temporarily if there is more than one

transmitter in the direct vicinity working on the same frequency (e.g. a two-way radio or mobile

telephone).

Obstacles between the key and the vehicle, bad weather conditions and weak batteries can

reduce the range of the remote control.

If the buttons on the vehicle key ⇒ Fig. 16 or one of the central locking buttons ⇒ Central

locking system are pressed repeatedly within a short period of time, the central locking system will

switch off briefly to prevent overloading. The vehicle will then be unlocked. Lock the vehicle if

necessary.

Mechanical vehicle key

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒

Introduction

A mechanical vehicle key may be included in the set of keys ⇒ Fig. 17.

Replacement key

You will need to quote the vehicle chassis number when ordering a replacement key or additional

remote control keys.

Every new key contains a microchip which must be encoded with the data for the vehicle's

electronic immobilizer. The vehicle key will not work if it is not fitted with a microchip, or if the

microchip has not been encoded. The same goes for keys that have been cut to fit the vehicle.

New keys or replacement keys are available from Volkswagen dealerships or from qualified

workshops and authorised key services that are qualified to manufacture these vehicle keys.

New and replacement vehicle keys must be synchronised before use. Proceed to a qualified

workshop.

Indicator lamp in the vehicle key

Fig. 18 Indicator lamp in the vehicle key

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒

Introduction

If a button on the vehicle key is pressed briefly, the indicator lamp ⇒ Fig. 18 (arrow) flashes once.

The lamp will flash several times if the button is pressed and held, e.g. convenience closing of the

electric panorama sliding/tilting glass roof.

If the indicator lamp in the key does not light up when a button is pressed, the battery in the key

should be replaced ⇒ Replacing the battery.

the environment.

The battery on the vehicle key may contain perchlorate. Please comply with any legal

requirements and regulations when handling and disposing of these batteries.

Synchronising the vehicle key

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒

Introduction

It may no longer be possible to lock or unlock the vehicle with the remote control if the

button

is pressed repeatedly outside of the effective range of the vehicle key. If this is the case, the vehicle

key should be re-synchronised as follows:

•

Fold out the key bit of the vehicle key ⇒ Opening and closing the key bit.

•

Press the

button on the vehicle key. Remain standing close to the vehicle.

Unlock the vehicle with the key bit within one minute. The synchronisation process is complete.

Central locking system

Introduction

This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:

⇒ Description of the central locking system

⇒ Locking or unlocking the vehicle from outside

⇒ Locking or unlocking the vehicle from the inside

⇒ SAFELOCK mechanism

The central locking system will only work correctly when all doors and the tailgate are properly

closed. The vehicle cannot be locked with the key if the driver door is open.

If the vehicle is unlocked and not used for a long time (e.g. in your own garage) the vehicle battery

WARNING

Improper use of the central locking system could lead to serious injury.

•

The central locking system locks all doors. Locking the vehicle from the inside may

prevent the doors from being opened unintentionally and unauthorised persons from

entering the vehicle. However, locked doors can delay assistance to passengers inside

the vehicle in the event of an accident or emergency.

•

Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. All doors can be

locked from the inside using the central locking button. This may mean that people lock

themselves in the vehicle. People locked in the vehicle may be subjected to very high or

very low temperatures.

•

Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may reach extremes of heat or cold, according to

season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially for small

children.

Never leave anyone inside a locked vehicle. People in the vehicle could become trapped

in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to safety.

Description of the central locking system

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒

Introduction

The central locking system enables you to lock and unlock all doors and the tailgate from one point:

•

From outside the vehicle with the vehicle key ⇒ Locking or unlocking the vehicle from outside.

From inside the vehicle with the central locking button ⇒ Locking or unlocking the vehicle from

Certain functions for the central locking system can be activated or deactivated by a qualified

workshop.

The doors and the tailgate can be locked or unlocked manually if the vehicle key or central locking

system fails.
