Convenience closing
The convenience closing feature lets you close the windows and the power sunroof as follows:
x On vehicles with Keyless Access, using the door handle sensors ⇒  Power locking system.
x From inside the vehicle, pull up and hold the switch for the driver window until all windows and the
sunroof are closed ⇒  Power locking system.
Convenience closing first closes the windows and then the power sunroof. All turn signals blink once to confirm that the windows and power sunroof are closed.
WARNING
Improper use of power windows can result in serious personal injury.
x Never let anyone get in the way of a power window when closing it.
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 front passenger door has not been opened.
x Always use the safety switch when children are in the back seat to disable the rear power windows and keep them from being opened and closed.
If the power windows malfunction, the one-touch feature, as well as pinch protection, will not work properly. See an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility right away.
Power window pinch protection

WARNING
Without pinch protection, power windows will close with enough force to cause serious personal injury.
x Always be careful when closing power windows.
x Always make sure that no one is in the way when overriding pinch protection to close power windows!
x 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.

Power sunroof

Opening or closing the power sunroof

Fig. 37 In the headliner: Rotary switch for the power sunroof. A: Turn the rotary switch to slide the sunroof open or closed. B: Press or pull the switch to tilt open or to close.

The power sunroof only works when the ignition is on. You can still open or close the power sunroof for several minutes after you switch off the ignition, as long as the driver or front passenger door has not been opened.
All procedures are interrupted as soon as the rotary switch is operated.
The sunshade opens automatically when the power sunroof opens if the shade was previously completely closed or in front of the glass roof. The sunshade remains in the previous position and does not close automatically with the sunroof. The sunshade cannot be closed completely until the power sunroof is closed.
If your power sunroof will not close properly, do not try to close it yourself, doing so can cause serious and expensive damage that will not be covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty. Special knowledge and tools are required to close the power sunroof if it will not close on its own. To help prevent damage to the sunroof, have an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility help you close and repair the power sunroof.
The comfort position (2) provides sufficient ventilation without loud wind noise.

You can still use the sunshade for several minutes after the ignition is switched off as long as the driver or passenger door has not been opened.
When the power sunroof is completely open the sunshade is automatically moved to a ventilation position.
When the power sunroof is in the tilt position the sunshade will also open a small gap.
When the power sunroof is open, the power sunshade can only be closed up to the front edge of the glass roof.
