NOTICE
The remote control vehicle keys contain electrical components. Protect them from damage, moisture and rough handling.
Do not press the buttons on the remote control vehicle key unless you actually want to use the function in question. Since terrain and conditions vary, pressing a button on the remote control vehicle key when it is not necessary may unlock the vehicle or set off the panic alarm, even if you think you are out of range.
Remote control vehicle key functions can be temporarily disrupted by interference from transmitters near the vehicle that use the same frequency range (such as radio equipment or mobile phones).
Things between the remote control vehicle key and vehicle, bad weather, as well as a weak battery can reduce the operating range.
If the remote control vehicle key buttons ⇒ fig. 19 or the power locking buttons ⇒ page 52, Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the inside are pushed repeatedly in quick succession, the power locking system is switched off for a brief period to help keep it from being overloaded. The vehicle is then unlocked for about 30 seconds. Unless a door or the luggage compartment lid is opened in this span of time, the vehicle is automatically locked afterwards.

WARNING
Improper use of power locks can result in serious personal injury.
x The power locking button locks all doors. Locking the doors from the inside can help prevent unintended door opening during a collision and can also prevent unwanted entry from the outside. Locked doors can, however, delay assistance to vehicle occupants and rescue from the outside in an accident or other emergency.
x Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in the vehicle. All doors can be locked from the inside with the power lock button. This could leave people trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
x 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.
x Never allow passengers to remain in a locked vehicle. In an emergency any person still inside the vehicle might not be able to get out.

x Close all windows and doors.
x Insert the vehicle key into the door lock and turn and hold the key for more than 2 seconds in the direction of locking. See, Manually unlocking and locking the driver door.
x Release the key and then again turn and hold it in locking direction for more than 2 seconds. The one-touch feature is now reactivated.

x Manual locking: lock the vehicle with the vehicle key bit in the driver door and keep the key turned in the locking position to close all windows and the power sunroof, Manually unlocking and locking the driver door.
Convenience closing first closes the windows and then the power sunroof.
WARNING
Improper use of power windows can result in serious personal injury.
x Never let anyone get in the way of a power window when closing it.
x When locking the vehicle from the outside, make sure that no one, especially children, remains in the vehicle. The windows will not open in case of an emergency.
x Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. You can still use the power windows for several minutes after the ignition is switched off as long as the driver or passenger door has not been opened.
NOTICE
The windows must go down slightly when you unlock the vehicle. Otherwise the windows and seals could be damaged when opening the doors.
If the power windows malfunction, the one-touch feature, as well as pinch protection may not work properly. See an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility right away.

WARNING
Accidents and serious injury may result from driving when the CSC roof has not properly locked into place or when the process of opening or closing the roof is incomplete. Even at low speeds, air resistance can twist or deform the roof or tear it off completely, endangering vehicle occupants and others.
x Never drive when the CSC roof is not completely open or not completely closed and securely latched unless you must move the vehicle to a safe place away from traffic.
x If you must move the vehicle to another location for safety reasons and the CSC roof is not completely open or not completely closed and securely latched, we recommend that you do not drive any faster than a slow walk.
x When opening and closing the CSC roof, always make sure no one will be injured by the supports and other moving parts.
NOTICE
x To help prevent damage, remove ice and snow from the CSC roof before opening it in winter weather.
NOTICE
x Volkswagen advises against all unauthorized changes to the CSC roof controls or to the way the roof opens and closes.
x Damage to the CSC roof system caused by changes to the CSC roof system controls will not be covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty. The terms and conditions of your
Volkswagen Limited Warranties are in the ⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance.
x The CSC roof has been designed to be opened and closed only when the vehicle is stopped. As your vehicle was manufactured, the roof cannot be opened or closed when the vehicle is being driven, for example, at low speeds. Roof operation even at low speeds can cause the roof to be deformed and damaged because of the increased forces from wind resistance. Wind resistance can also cause parts of the linkages and the hydraulic system to wear prematurely, and could even cause parts of the roof to separate and fall into the vehicle or onto the roadway or onto another vehicle.
x The CSC roof has been designed to open and close only when the lever on the center
console ⇒ fig. 32 is pushed or pulled and held in that position until the roof has opened / closed completely. Releasing the lever stops roof movement. A chime sounds when the roof is moving. As your vehicle was manufactured, the roof cannot be operated in a one-touch up or down mode. The roof was designed this way for your safety and that of your passengers. One-touch operation would make it possible for the driver to leave the vehicle unsupervised while the roof, rear lid, and windows move into position. This would increase the risk of vehicle damage and personal injury to bystanders, especially to children.
x If the way the CSC roof works on your vehicle has been changed from the way it was manufactured, we urge you to have your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility change it back so that it will only open and close as originally manufactured. Mechanical changes and changes to the vehicle software must be entered in the
⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance.
