about how the apps collect, use and share information about you,
your vehicle or your mobile device.
The application software provided may be designed to be used for a
variety of purposes and be specific to your vehicle and country ⇒ .
The content, range of software provided and application software
provider can vary. Some application software is also subject to the
availability of services provided by third parties. In order for some
application software to work, wireless service reception must be
strong enough to handle the data exchange involved (text and data
rates apply).
Application software descriptions may be provided by the service pro-
vider.
Due to the multitude of mobile devices and fast pace of software de-
velopment, the application software provided may not run on all mo-
bile devices and their operating systems. This may even apply for the
same model of a mobile device. For example, application software
may run on version 2 of the device's operating system but not on ver-
sion 3.
Application software can be modified, discontinued, deactivated, re-
activated or expanded without any further notice.
In order for some application software to work, the wireless or cable
connection between the factory-installed Radio or Navigation system
and a compatible, functioning mobile device must be strong enough
and uninterrupted.
NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for vehicle damage caused by
inferior-quality or malicious application software, poorly pro-
grammed application software, insufficient wireless service re-
ception, data loss during transmission or misuse of mobile de-
vices.

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 disrupt-
ed 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. 20 or the power
locking buttons⇒ 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.

voltage, size, and specifications.
Make sure the plus and minus poles of the battery are correct-
ly positioned.
Dispose of old batteries in an environmentally responsible man-
ner and keep them out of the reach of children.
Batteries of the type used in your remote control vehicle key may
contain Perchlorate Material. Special handling may apply – see
http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. Obey all legal
requirements regarding handling and disposal of these batteries. Au-
thorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service
Facilities are familiar with the requirements, and we recommend that
you have them perform this service for you.
Synchronizing the remote control vehicle key

WARNING
Improper use of power windows can result in serious personal
injury.
Never let anyone get in the way of a power window when
closing it.
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.
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 front passenger
door has not been opened.
Always use the safety switch when children are in the back
seat to disable the rear power windows and keep them from be-
ing opened and closed.
NOTICE
The windows must go down slightly when you unlock the vehi-
cle. 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.
Power window pinch protection

If the window meets resistance a second time, so that it stops and
goes back down, one-touch closing is deactivated for about
10 seconds.
If you pull the power window button up all the way and hold it dur-
ing this 10 second interval, the window will close without pinch pro-
tection ⇒ .
Closing the window without pinch protection
Try to close the window again within 10 seconds by holding the
switch. Pinch protection is turned off for a short distance in the
window track!
If closing takes longer than about 10 seconds, pinch protection is
turned on again. The window stops again if there is resistance.
If the window still will not close, please see an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
WARNING
Without pinch protection, power windows will close with
enough force to cause serious personal injury.
Always be careful when closing power windows.
Always make sure that no one is in the way when overriding
pinch protection to close power windows!
Pinch protection cannot prevent fingers or other parts of the
body from being pressed against the window frame; injuries
may result.
Pinch protection is also active during convenience closing of the
windows and the power sunroof ⇒ Power windows – features.
