•Never ignore any warning lamps that are lit up.
•Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
•Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away from moving traffic and ensure that no part of the

Driving tips
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Preparing for a journey and driving safely
⇒ Driving abroad
⇒ Driving through water on roads
Depending on where the vehicle is used, it may be advisable to have an engine and transmission
guard installed. An engine and transmission guard can reduce the risk of damage to the vehicle's
underbody and engine oil sump, for example when driving over kerbs, driveways or unsurfaced
roads. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

Replacement key
You will need to quote the vehicle chassis number when ordering a replacement key or additional
remote control keys.
Every 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. Proceed 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. 16 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.

and excessive vibration.
NOTICE

If the buttons on the vehicle key ⇒ Fig. 21 or one of the central locking buttons ⇒ Fig. 23 are
pressed repeatedly within a short period of time, the central locking system will switch off briefly to
prevent overloading. The vehicle is then unlocked for approximately 30 seconds. If the doors or the
tailgate are not opened during this time the vehicle will lock again automatically.

The vehicle key will lock or unlock the vehicle only when the battery has enough power and the key
is located within a few metres of the vehicle.
•When the vehicle is locked, all turn signals will flash once as confirmation.
•When the vehicle is unlocked, all turn signals will flash twice as confirmation.
If the turn signals do not flash as confirmation, at least one of the doors or the tailgate is not closed.
The vehicle cannot be locked using the vehicle key if the driver door is still open. The vehicle will
lock again automatically within a few seconds of being unlocked if you do not open one of the doors
or the tailgate. This function prevents the vehicle from remaining unlocked if the unlocking button is
pressed by mistake.

Improper or unsupervised use of the electric windows can cause serious injuries.
•The electric windows should only be opened or closed when you are sure that nobody is in
their operating area.
•Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle when the vehicle
is locked. The windows can no longer be opened in an emergency.
•Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. The windows can
still be operated using the buttons several minutes after the ignition has been switched off,
provided that the driver door and front passenger door are not opened.
WARNING
During sudden rain showers, water can enter the vehicle interior via open windows and cause
damage to the vehicle.
NOTICE

•Adjust the steering wheel so that you can hold it on the outside of the ring (at the 9 o'clock and
3 o'clock positions) with both hands and slightly bent arms.
•Push the lever up firmly until it lines up with the steering column ⇒.

Seat heating
Fig. 41 In upper part of centre console: buttons for the front seat heating
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The front seat seat cushions and backrests can be heated electrically when the ignition is switched
on.
Do not switch on the seat heating if one of the following conditions applies:
•The seat is not in use.
•The seat is fitted with a protective cover.
•A child seat is installed on the seat.
•The seat cushion is damp or wet.
•The interior or exterior temperature is above 25 ℃ (77 °F).
Incorrect use of the steering column position adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the
steering wheel can cause serious or fatal injuries.
•After adjusting the steering column, always move lever ⇒ Fig. 40① up so that it engages
securely. This prevents the steering column from moving spontaneously while the vehicle
is in motion.
•Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is in motion. If you determine that a
readjustment is necessary, stop the vehicle safely and adjust the steering wheel to the
correct position.
•The steering wheel must always point towards the chest and not towards the face. This
ensures that the driver front airbag provides maximum protection in the event of an
accident.
•While driving, always keep both hands on the outside of the steering wheel, at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. This reduces the risk of injury if the driver front airbag is
triggered.
•Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, or in any other manner, e.g. on
the hub of the steering wheel. If the driver airbag is triggered, you could receive severe
injuries to the arms, hands and head.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the seat functions can cause serious injuries.
•Always assume a correct sitting position before you drive and maintain this position
throughout the trip. This also applies to all passengers.
•Keep hands, fingers, feet and other body parts away from the moving parts of the seats.
