NOTICE
The door handle sensor surfaces can be activated by a strong stream of water or steam if a valid vehicle key is within range of the vehicle.
The door may not open if the outside and inside door handles are used at the same time.
If the vehicle battery or the battery in the remote control vehicle key is weak or dead, it might not be possible to unlock and lock the vehicle using Keyless Access. The vehicle can still be manually locked or unlocked with the key bit, Emergency closing and opening.
The driver message Key not in range appears in the instrument cluster display if there is no remote control vehicle key inside the vehicle or if the system does not recognize the remote control vehicle key. The key may not be recognized, for example, if it is covered by something that interferes with the signal (such as a briefcase), or if the remote control vehicle key battery is weak. Electronic devices such as mobile phones can also interfere with the signal.
Dirt on the door handles that contains a lot of salt (especially in winter) can affect the way the door handle sensors work. Cleaning the door handles can help with this problem, Exterior care and cleaning.
If the automatic transmission is not in Park (P) position, the electronic steering column lock will not lock and the vehicle will not lock via sensors in the front door handles or the remote control vehicle key.

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.
