Closing and locking doors (Keyless Exit)
x Switch off the ignition.
x Close the driver door.
x Touch the sensor surface in the door handle on the driver or front passenger door ⇒ fig. 28 (2) B once. The vehicle is locked. The door being locked must be closed.
Unlocking and locking the rear hatch (Keyless Entry for the rear hatch)
If the vehicle is locked and a valid vehicle key is within range ⇒ fig. 28 A of the rear hatch, it unlocks automatically when opened.
x Open and close the rear hatch as you would a standard rear hatch ⇒  Rear hatch.
The rear hatch locks automatically when it is closed except in the following situations:
x The vehicle is completely unlocked.
x When an authorized vehicle key is inside the vehicle.
Locking with a second vehicle key
If a remote control vehicle key is inside the passenger compartment, the vehicle can be locked from the outside only if a second valid key is within range.
When the vehicle is locked from the outside, the keyless go (starting) function of any keys left in the passenger compartment will be deactivated. All other functions (remote central locking and unlocking as well as emergency starting) remain active and unchanged.
A key that was inside the vehicle when it was locked from the outside is reactivated:
x By pressing a button on the deactivated key.
x By pressing a door handle sensor when the deactivated key is outside of the vehicle, but within range.
x By starting the engine with the starter button on the front center console.
Automatic deactivation of sensors
If the vehicle has not been unlocked or locked for a longer period of time, the proximity sensors in the passenger door are automatically deactivated.
If a sensor on the door handle of a locked vehicle is activated too often, for instance by a bush or hedge that rubs against the vehicle, the sensors in the door handle on that side of the vehicle are switched off for 30 minutes.
The sensors become active again when the vehicle is locked with the vehicle key and the ignition is switched on one time.
The sensors become active again if one of the following events occurs:
x 30 minutes have passed.
x OR: The vehicle is unlocked using the 0 button in the remote control vehicle key.
x OR: The rear hatch is opened.
x OR: The vehicle is mechanically unlocked using the emergency vehicle key.
Convenience features
To use the convenience closing feature to close all power windows, hold your finger on the lock sensor surface (2) on the outside of the door handle for a few seconds until the windows close.
Remove your finger from the lock sensor surface (2) to stop the function. If you touch the unlock sensor surface 1 on the inside of the door handle immediately after releasing the lock sensor surface 1 (arrow), all of the windows will open (safety function). Pinch protection is active during convenience closing of the windows.
The settings in the Settings – Convenience menu ⇒  Volkswagen Information System determine which doors open when the door handle sensor surface is touched.

x Disconnecting an anti-theft system integrated trailer ⇒  Trailer towing.
Deactivating the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlock button on the remote control vehicle key and switch on the ignition with a valid remote control vehicle key.
For vehicles with Keyless Access, the alarm can be deactivated by grasping one of the door handles when a valid vehicle key is in range or by holding the remote control vehicle key to the right of the
steering column trim and pressing the starter button ⇒  Unlocking or locking vehicles with Keyless Access.
After the alarm has stopped and the vehicle is opened again in the same or a different area that is protected by the alarm, the alarm is triggered again. For example, the alarm will sound again if the rear hatch is opened after one of the doors has been opened.
The anti-theft alarm system is not activated when the vehicle is locked with the power lock switch 1 on the inside of the driver or front passenger doors.
If the driver door is mechanically unlocked with the emergency key, only the driver door is un-locked, but not the entire vehicle. Switching on the ignition deactivates the anti-theft alarm system and activates the central locking button. To unlock the doors, use the central locking button or remote control vehicle key.
If the vehicle battery is dead or weak, the anti-theft alarm system will not work properly.

NOTICE
If the system is operated too often in succession, it will shut itself off to help prevent overheat-ing.
x The feature can be used again as soon as the system has cooled down. In the meantime, the rear hatch can be opened or closed by hand, though this requires some strength.
x If the vehicle battery or the fuse is blown when the rear hatch is open, the rear hatch system must be reset. To reset the rear hatch, it must be closed once.
Make sure that the remote control vehicle key is not in the luggage compartment before closing the rear hatch.
