¥ Only transport as many passengers as there are seats and safety belts available.
¥ Never drive if your driving ability has been impaired, for example by medication, alcohol or illegal
drugs.
¥ Never let passengers or phone calls distract you while driving and never take your attention off the
road while using vehicle software or adjusting vehicle equipment or accessories.
¥ Always adapt your speed and driving style to visibility, weather, road, and traffic conditions.
¥ Always obey traffic laws and speed limits.
¥ On long trips make frequent rest stops – at least once every 2 hours.
¥ Secure animals in the vehicle with a system that corresponds to weight and size.
WARNING
Always observe posted speed limits and use common sense. Your good judgment can mean
the difference between arriving safely at your destination and being seriously injured in a
crash or other kind of accident.
Regular service and maintenance of your vehicle is important both for operational and driving
safety and to help prolong your vehicle's service life. Always follow the scheduled maintenance inter-
vals in the ⇒ Booklet Warranty and Maintenance, especially for changing the brake fluid. Hard use,
frequent stop-and-go driving, driving in very dusty areas, trailer towing, and other factors may make it
necessary to have the vehicle serviced more frequently. Ask an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for more information.
Driving in other countries

NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for mechanical damage that may result from substandard fuel
or service or the unavailability of Genuine Volkswagen parts.
Driving through water on roads

Canadian customers can contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen Service Facility or
call the Volkswagen Canada Customer CARE Center at 1- - - 7.
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 disrupted by interference from transmit-
ters near the vehicle that use the same frequency range (such as radio equipment or cellular 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 or the power locking buttons are pushed repeatedly in
quick succession, the power locking system is switched off for a brief period to help keep it from being
overloaded. The vehicle is then unlocked for about 30 seconds. Unless a door or the rear hatch is
opened in this span of time, the vehicle is automatically locked afterwards.

x From inside the vehicle, pull up and hold the switch for the driver window until all windows and the sunroof are closed
From outside the vehicle (vehicles with Keyless Access), hold your finger on the lock sensor surface on the outside of the door handle for a few seconds until the windows close
Convenience closing first closes the windows and then the power sunroof.
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 win-dows for several minutes after the ignition is switched off as long as the driver or front pas-senger 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.

The sunshade opens automatically when the power sunroof opens if the shade was previously com-
pletely 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 know-
ledge 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.

WARNING
Careless or unsupervised use of the sunroof can cause serious injuries.
x Always make sure that no one is in the way of the power sunroof when it is closing.
x Always take all vehicle keys with you when leaving the vehicle.
x Never leave children or persons requiring assistance unattended in the vehicle, especially
if they have access to the remote control vehicle key. Unsupervised use of the remote control
vehicle key can lock the vehicle, start the engine, switch on the ignition and operate the su-
nroof.
x The sunroof can still be opened or closed for a short period after the ignition has been
switched off, as long as the driver or passenger door is not opened.
WARNING
Closing the sunroof without pinch protection can cause severe injuries.
x Always be careful when closing the sunroof.
x Always make sure that no one is in the way when overriding pinch protection to close the
sunroof.
x Pinch protection does not prevent fingers or other body parts from being pressed against
the roof frame, thereby causing injury.
If the sunroof malfunctions or pinch protection does not operate properly. See an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance.
