keyless entry VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG 2013 2.G Owners Manual

Unlocking and locking the rear hatch (Keyless Entry for the rear hatch)
If the vehicle is locked and a valid vehicle key is within range A of the rear hatch, it unlocks automati-
cally when opened.
x Open and close the rear hatch as you would a standard rear hatch.
The rear hatch locks automatically when it is closed except in the following situations:
x The vehicle is completely unlocked.
x When an authorized vehicle key is inside the vehicle.
Sensor-controlled rear hatch opener (Easy Open)
When a valid vehicle key is within range A of the rear hatch, the rear hatch can be unlocked and
opened by moving your foot within the sensor’s range ⇒ fig. 26 below the rear bumper.
x Switch off the ignition and remove any vehicle key in the ignition.
x Stand in front of the middle of the rear bumper.
x Quickly move the side of your body, your foot and shin as close to the bumper as possible. Your
shin must be in the upper part of the sensor’s range and your foot in the lower part (1).
x Quickly move your shin out of range (2). The rear hatch opens automatically.
The high-mounted brake light and the turn signals flash once to show that the Easy Open feature is
opening the rear hatch.
The rear hatch locks automatically after closing if the vehicle was locked before and a valid vehicle key
is not inside the vehicle. If the vehicle key used to open the vehicle is inside the vehicle, the rear hatch
opens again.
Easy Open may not work properly or at all in the following situations (examples):
x If the rear bumper is very dirty.
x If the rear bumper has salty water on it after driving on salted roads.
x If a trailer hitch has been retrofit on the vehicle.
Easy Open may be automatically deactivated in heavy rain to help prevent unintentional deployment
caused by water running down the vehicle, for example.
Locking with a second vehicle key
If a remote control vehicle key is inside the passenger compartment, the vehicle can be locked from
the outside only if a second valid key is within range.
A key that was inside the vehicle when it was locked from the outside is reactivated:
x By pressing a button on the deactivated key.
x By pressing a door handle sensor when the deactivated key is outside of the vehicle, but within
range.
x By starting the engine with the starter button on the front center console.
Automatic deactivation of sensors
If the vehicle has not been unlocked or locked for a longer period of time, the proximity sensors in the
passenger door are automatically deactivated.
If a sensor on the door handle of a locked vehicle is activated too often, for instance by a bush or
hedge that rubs against the vehicle, the sensors in the door handle on that side of the vehicle are
switched off for 30 minutes.
The sensors become active again when the vehicle is locked with the vehicle key and the ignition is
switched on one time.
The sensors become active again if one of the following events occurs:
x 30 minutes have passed.
x OR: The vehicle is unlocked using the V button in the remote control vehicle key.
