NOTICE
Strong streams of water or vapor could activate the sensors in the door handles if a valid vehicle key is located near the vehicle. This may cause the windows to
open and moisture may enter the vehicle interior. This could lead to damage to the vehicle interior.
Never direct the jet of a high pressure cleaner or a steam jet directly towards the sensors in the door handles.
If at least one window is open and the sensors in one door handle are permanently activated, then all windows will close.
If the Keyless faulty. message appears in the ID. cockpit, there may be a malfunction in Keyless Access with push-button start. Contact an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility.
The Keyless Access with push-button start may not function correctly if another signal, e.g. from a cell phone in the immediate vicinity, interferes with the
vehicle key or if the vehicle key is covered by an object, such as a metal case. If there is no remote control vehicle key in the vehicle or the key is not detected, a
corresponding message appears in the ID. cockpit.
Doors and central locking button
Introduction
The doors can be manually locked and in some cases unlocked, for example if the vehicle key or the central locking system is malfunctioning.
The central locking system allows you to unlock and lock all doors, the trunk lid, and the battery charging flap from one location.
The vehicle can be locked when the ignition is switched off or if the driver has exited the vehicle when the vehicle's drive system has been deactivated.
An image in the ID. cockpit indicates if one or more doors are not closed correctly.
Do not continue driving!
1. Safely park the vehicle, if necessary.
2. Open the respective door and close it again.
The image is also displayed when the ignition is switched off, and it turns off several seconds after the doors are closed and the vehicle has been locked.
WARNING
If a door is not closed correctly, it can open suddenly while driving and cause serious or fatal injuries.
Stop immediately and close the door.
When closing the door, make sure it engages securely and completely. When closed, the door must be flush with the areas of the vehicle body that are
around the door.
WARNING
When the door is being held open by the door arrester, it may close by itself in high winds or on inclines, which can cause serious injuries.
Always hold the door handle firmly when opening and closing the door.
WARNING
Opening and closing the doors and trunk lid without due care can be dangerous and result in serious injuries.
Do not open or close the doors and trunk lid if anyone is in the way.
WARNING
The central locking system locks all the doors. In case of an emergency or accident, locked doors can make it more difficult for first responders to access the
vehicle interior. When the vehicle is locked from the outside, the doors and power windows cannot be opened from the inside. There is a risk of serious or fatal
injuries.
Never leave children, people requiring assistance or animals unattended in the vehicle.
