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 transmit-
ters near the vehicle that use the same frequency range (such as radio equipment or cellular 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 or the power locking 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 luggage com-
partment lid is opened in this span of time, the vehicle is automatically locked afterwards.

Remote control vehicle key
The remote control vehicle key can unlock and lock the vehicle from a distance.
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. If this is not the problem, the key should be resynchronized
by an authorized Volkswagen dealer, an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or another qualified
workshop.
