The remote transmitter and battery are inside the remote control vehicle key. The receiver is inside the
passenger compartment. The operating range of the remote control vehicle key for a fresh battery is
several yards (meters) around the vehicle.

If the remote control vehicle key will not lock or unlock your vehicle, you probably need to replace the

battery in the remote control vehicle key

⇒ Replacing the remote control vehicle key battery. If this is

not the problem, the key should be resynchronized by an authorized Volkswagen dealer, an

Replacement vehicle keys

The vehicle identification number is required to get a replacement key or an additional remote control
vehicle key.

Depending on the model, up to 8 vehicle keys, each of which must be properly cut, coded,
programmed, and synchronized, can be used with your vehicle.

Each new vehicle key contains a microchip and must be coded with the data from the vehicle's
electronic immobilizer. A vehicle key will not work if it does not contain a microchip or contains a chip
that is not coded, even if the key bit was cut correctly.

You can obtain additional or duplicate remote control vehicle keys from authorized Volkswagen
dealers, authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities, and from certain independent repair facilities and
locksmiths which are qualified to make remote control vehicle keys.

Each vehicle key must be programmed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility in order for it to work with your vehicle.

To find the nearest qualified independent repair facility, locksmith, or Volkswagen dealer which can cut
and code replacement vehicle keys, call the VW Customer Care Hotline at 1-800-822-8987 or visit
http://www.vw.com and search for “replacement keys.”

Canadian customers can contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen Service Facility or
call the Volkswagen Canada Customer CARE Center at 1-800-822-8987.

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

transmitters near the vehicle that use the same frequency range (such as radio equipment or mobile
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

⇒

fig. 22

or the power locking buttons

⇒ Unlocking or

locking the vehicle from the inside 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.

Power locking system

Introduction

In this section you’ll find information about:

Indicator light in the driver door

Description of the power locking system

Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the outside

Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the inside

Unlocking or locking the vehicle with Keyless Access

Anti-theft alarm system

The power locking system works properly only when all doors and the rear hatch are completely
closed. When the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked with the remote control vehicle key.

For vehicles equipped with the Keyless Access with push button start, the vehicle can be locked only if
the ignition is switched off and the driver door is closed.

Leaving the vehicle unlocked for longer periods of non-use (for example, in your garage) can cause
the vehicle battery to drain so that the engine can no longer be started.

  Emergency closing and opening

WARNING

Improper use of power locks can result in serious personal injury.

The power locking button locks all doors. Locking the doors from the inside can help

prevent unintended door opening during a collision and can also prevent unwanted entry
from the outside. Locked doors can, however, delay assistance to vehicle occupants and
rescue from the outside in an accident or other emergency.

Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in the vehicle. All

doors can be locked from the inside with the power lock button. This could leave people
trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on the time of year, people trapped in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.

A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending on the season. Particularly

in the summer, heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside temperatures.
Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death,
particularly to small children.

Never allow passengers to remain in a locked vehicle. In an emergency any person still

inside the vehicle might not be able to get out.

(such as a briefcase), or if the remote control vehicle key battery is weak. Electronic devices such as
mobile phones can also interfere with the signal.

Dirt on the door handles that contains a lot of salt (especially in winter) can affect the way the

door handle sensors work. Cleaning the door handles can help with this problem

Anti-theft alarm system

Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

Your vehicle is either equipped with an anti-theft alarm system or pre-equipped for anti-theft alarm
system installation. If the vehicle is pre-equipped for installation of the anti-theft alarm system, the
alarm system can be retrofitted by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility.

The anti-theft alarm system makes it more difficult for someone to break into or steal the vehicle.

The anti-theft alarm system is automatically activated when the vehicle is locked by pressing the lock
button on the remote control vehicle key.

When is the alarm triggered?

The anti-theft alarm system sounds for about 30 seconds and the turn signals flash for up to 5 minutes
if the following occurs with respect to the locked vehicle:

  Opening a door that has been mechanically unlocked.
  Forcibly opening a door.
  Forcibly opening the engine hood.
  Forcibly opening the rear hatch.
  Switching on the ignition with an invalid key.
  Disconnecting the vehicle battery.
  Disconnecting an anti-theft system integrated trailer.

Deactivating the alarm

Unlock the vehicle with the unlock button on the remote control vehicle key and switch on the ignition
with a valid remote control vehicle key.

For vehicles with Keyless Access, the alarm can be deactivated by grasping one of the door handles
when a valid vehicle key is in range or by holding the remote control vehicle key to the right of the

steering column trim and pressing the starter button

⇒ Unlocking or locking the vehicle with Keyless

Access.

After the alarm has stopped and the vehicle is opened again in the same or a different area that

is protected by the alarm, the alarm is triggered again. For example, the alarm will sound again if the
rear hatch is opened after one of the doors has been opened.

The anti-theft alarm system is not activated when the vehicle is locked with the power lock

switch on the inside of the driver or front passenger doors.

If the driver door is mechanically unlocked using the vehicle key bit, only the driver door is

unlocked, but not the entire vehicle. Switching on the ignition deactivates the anti-theft alarm system
and activates the central locking button. To unlock the doors, use the central locking button or remote
control vehicle key.

If the vehicle battery is dead or weak, the anti-theft alarm system will not work properly.

  Emergency closing and opening

WARNING

Accidents and severe personal injuries can result if you unlock, open, or close the rear hatch
when someone is in the way.

Only open or close the rear hatch if no one is in the way.
After closing the rear hatch, always make sure that it is properly closed and locked so that

it cannot open suddenly when the vehicle is moving. The closed rear hatch must be flush
with the surrounding auto body parts.

Always keep the rear hatch closed while driving to help keep poisonous exhaust gas from

being drawn into the vehicle.

Never open the rear hatch when a luggage rack is installed and loaded. If, for example,

there are bicycles on a carrier on the rear hatch, it is possible that the hatch may be difficult
to open. An open rear hatch may fall on its own because of the additional weight. The open
rear hatch must be supported or the weight must be removed from the luggage rack first.

Close and lock the rear hatch and all doors when the vehicle is not in use. First, make sure

that no one is left inside the vehicle.

Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play around your vehicle, especially

when the rear hatch is open. A child could crawl into the vehicle and pull the rear hatch shut,
becoming trapped and unable to get out. A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold,
depending on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in the passenger and
luggage compartment of a parked vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are
much higher than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can
cause unconsciousness and death, particularly to small children.

Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in the vehicle. They

may lock the vehicle with the vehicle key or the power locking button and lock themselves in.

NOTICE

Before opening or closing the rear hatch, make sure there is enough room to do so, as for
example when the vehicle has a trailer or is in a garage.
