· When leaving the vehicle, never leave any of its  
keys inside. Otherwise, a child or an unauthorized  
person could lock the doors and the tailgate,  
start the engine or switch on the ignition, allowing  
them to operate electrical equipment, e.g. For  
example, the window regulators.  
· Never leave a child or anyone who may need  
help alone inside the vehicle. In an emergency  
they could not get out of the vehicle or fend for  
themselves.  
Thus, for example, depending on the season of  
the year, a closed vehicle can reach very high or  
very low temperatures that can cause serious  
injuries and illnesses or even death, especially  
in the case of small children.

NOTICE  
· If the battery is replaced incorrectly, it may  
damage the key.

Therefore, always replace the exhausted battery with a new  
one of the same voltage, size and specification.  
· When installing the battery, observe the polarity.  
Batteries of the type used in the vehicle key remote  
may contain perchlorate. This may require special  
handling. Observe all legal provisions regarding the handling  
and disposal of these batteries. We recommend that you have  
this work done by a Volkswagen dealer or a specialist workshop.

Problems and solutions  
Unable to lock or unlock vehicle  
The remote control does not work correctly due to  
obstacles, bad weather conditions, transmitters that  
are close to the vehicle and that use the same  
frequency band, e.g. eg a mobile phone device, or  
because the button cell battery is exhausted.
