Swallowing batteries with a diameter of 20 mm, or other button cells, can result in severe or even fatal injuries within a very short period of time.
Always keep the vehicle key, key ring with batteries, spare batteries, round cells and other batteries that are larger than 20 mm out of the
reach of children.
Call for medical help immediately you suspect that someone has swallowed a battery.
DANGER
Careless or unsupervised use of the vehicle key can lead to accidents or injuries.
Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. Children or third parties could lock the doors and tailgate, start the
engine or switch on the ignition and thus operate electrical equipment, such as the electric windows.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could become trapped in the vehicle in an emergency and
may not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures,
according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially for small children.
Never remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock when the vehicle is in motion. The steering lock may be activated and you will no longer
be able to steer the vehicle.

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.
Opening and closing the key bit
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.
Indicator lamp in the vehicle key
Every vehicle key contains electronic components. Protect the key from damage, moisture and excessive vibration.

Improper use of the central locking system could lead to serious injury.
The central locking system locks all doors. Locking the vehicle from the inside can prevent accidental opening of the doors and unauthorised
persons from entering the vehicle. However, locked doors can delay assistance to passengers inside the vehicle in the event of an accident
or emergency.
Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. All doors can be locked from the inside using the central locking
button. This may mean that people lock themselves in the vehicle. People locked in the vehicle may be subjected to very high or very low
temperatures.
Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may reach extremes of heat or cold, according to season. This can cause serious injuries and illness
or fatalities, especially to small children.
Never leave anyone inside a locked vehicle. People in the vehicle could become trapped in an emergency and may not be able to get
themselves to safety.
