First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings →Introduction 
Vehicle key
The key can be used to lock and unlock the car from a distance  → Central locking system   .
The remote control transmitter and the battery are integrated in the key. The receiver is located in the vehicle interior. The remote control range is
several metres around the vehicle when the battery is fully charged.
If the vehicle cannot be opened and closed using the vehicle key, the vehicle key will have to be re-synchronised  → Synchronising the vehicle
key   , or the battery in the key replaced  → Replacing the battery   .
Several vehicle keys can be used.

Press button  → Fig. 22 ①   to release the key bit and open it.
To fold in, press button ① and simultaneously fold in the key bit until it clicks into place.
Replacement key
You will need to quote the vehicle chassis number when ordering a replacement key or additional remote control keys.
Each new key contains a microchip which must be encoded with the data for the vehicle's electronic immobilizer. The vehicle key will not work if it
is not fitted with a microchip, or if the microchip has not been encoded. The same goes for keys that have been cut to fit the vehicle.
New keys or replacement keys are available from Volkswagen dealerships or from qualified workshops and authorised key services that are
qualified to manufacture these vehicle keys.
New and replacement vehicle keys must be synchronised before use. Go to a qualified workshop.
Press the buttons on the key only if the corresponding function is actually needed. Pressing a button when the function is not required
could lead to the vehicle being unlocked unintentionally or the alarm going off. This also applies even when you are not within the effective range.
The function of the vehicle key can be affected temporarily if there is more than one transmitter in the direct vicinity working on the same
frequency (e.g. a two-way radio or mobile telephone).
Obstacles between the key and the vehicle, bad weather conditions and weak batteries can reduce the range of the remote control.
If the buttons on the vehicle key  → Fig. 22  or one of the central locking buttons  → Central locking system   are pressed repeatedly within a
short period of time, the central locking system will switch off briefly to prevent overloading. The vehicle will then be unlocked. Lock the vehicle if
necessary.

The electric windows should only be opened or closed when you are sure that nobody is in their operating area.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle when the vehicle is locked. The windows can no longer be opened
in an emergency.
Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. The windows can still be operated using the buttons several minutes
after the ignition has been switched off, provided that the driver door and front passenger door are not opened.
When transporting children on the rear bench seat, the rear electric windows should always be deactivated using the safety button so that
they cannot be opened or closed.
WARNING
