One-touch opening and closing
The one-touch feature automatically opens/closes a power window all the way. The window switch
does not have to be held down/up.
For one-touch opening: Press the switch for the window down briefly as far as it goes.
For one-touch closing: Pull the switch for the window up briefly as far as it goes.
Stopping automatic movement: Pull/press the switch again.
Reactivating the one-touch feature
If the vehicle battery is disconnected or dead and the windows are not completely closed, the one-
touch feature will not work and must be reactivated:
x Switch on the ignition.
x Close all windows and doors.
x Pull the -switch up and hold it for at least 2 seconds in this position.
x Release the - switch, pull up and hold again. The one-touch feature is now reactivated.
The one-touch feature can be reactivated for one or more windows at the same time.
Convenience closing
The convenience closing feature lets you close the windows from outside the vehicle as follows:
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
x Vehicles with Keyless Access: hold your finger on the lock sensor surface on the outside of the
door handle for a few seconds until the windows close
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 when the convertible top is closed. 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 win-
dows 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.
If convenience closing of the power windows from the outside requires removing the cover cap of
the lock cylinder on the driver door, the cover cap must be reinstalled after the vehicle is locked 266.

The Automatic Rollover Support System can only deploy one time. After the Automatic Rollover Sup-
port System has deployed, you cannot slide it back into its original position. It must be replaced by an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
The Automatic Rollover Support System may deploy in the following situations:
x In driving situations in which the vehicle tips sharply to one side, consistent with the values pro-
grammed into the electronic control module.
x In certain frontal, side, and rear-end collisions.
x In rollovers.
x If the vehicle briefly leaves the ground, for example when cresting a hill at a comparatively high
speed.
WARNING
The Automatic Rollover Support System can cause serious injuries if persons or objects are
in the way when it deploys.
x Never use accessory seat covers or protective covers that block the rollover protection
deployment area.
x Every rear seat passenger must be properly seated on a seat of his or her own and must
stay in a proper seating position at all times.
x Always keep the area around the supports free of anything that could interfere with their
deployment or fly about and injure occupants when the supports deploy.
x Never take the covers off the Automatic Rollover Support System.
x Never attach a child seat, child restraints, straps, or anything else to the rollover protec-
tion supports.
WARNING
If there is a system malfunction, the Automatic Rollover Support System may cause serious
injuries by not deploying properly, by not deploying at all, or by deploying unexpectedly.
x If a malfunction exists in the system, have it checked immediately by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. A malfunction exists in the
system if the indicator light:
– does not come on when the ignition is turned on;
– does not go out about 5 seconds after you start the engine;
– goes out after switching on the ignition and then comes back on again;
– comes on or flickers when you are driving.

when opening or closing the top.
