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.

The area in the red frame  → Fig. 65  is covered by the curtain airbag when triggered (deployment zone). For this reason, you must never leave or
attach any items in this area  → .
In a side collision the curtain airbag is triggered on the impact side of the vehicle.
In a side collision, the curtain airbags reduce the risk of injury to the areas of the body facing the impact for vehicle occupants on the front seats
and outer rear seats.
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
 → Basic information on fitting and using child seats 
 → Types of child seat 
 → Securing systems  
 → Securing a child seat with ISOFIX  
 → Securing child seats with the upper strap (top tether)  
 → Securing child seats with a seat belt  
Using child seats can reduce the risk of injury to the child if there is an accident. Always use child seats when driving with children.
Note the following:
Child seats are classified into groups depending on the size, age and weight of child for which they are designed.
Various securing systems are used to secure child seats in the vehicle.
For safety reasons child seats should always be fitted to the rear seats. They should only be fitted to the front passenger seat in exceptional
cases.
Volkswagen recommends child seats from the Volkswagen range of accessories. These child seats have been developed and approved for use
in Volkswagen vehicles.
Once triggered, the airbag inflates at high speed.
Always leave the deployment zones of the curtain airbags clear.
Never secure any items to the cover or in the deployment zone of the curtain airbag.
Vehicle occupants sitting on the front seats and rear outer seats must never carry any people, pets or objects in the deployment zone
between themselves and the airbags. Make sure that children and passengers also keep to this rule.
The built-in coat hooks should only be used for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any heavy or sharp objects in the pockets.
Do not fit any accessories to the doors.
Do not install any sunblinds onto the side windows unless they have been expressly approved for use in your vehicle.
Only push the sunblinds over to the side windows if no items are attached to them (e.g. pens or the remote control for a garage door).
