Note: Depending on the settings for the power locking system in the  Convenience sub-menu on vehicles with the Premium instrument cluster, it may be necessary to press the button on the remote control vehicle key twice to unlock all doors and the rear hatch ⇒ Volkswagen Information System .

The vehicle key unlocks or locks the vehicle only when the battery in the remote control key has enough power, and the remote control vehicle key is within a few yards/meters of the vehicle.

• All turn signals flash once and the horn beeps once to confirm that the vehicle has been locked. The horn beep can be disabled by deactivating the ATA confirmation feature in the Convenience submenu ⇒ Convenience sub-menu .

• All turn signals flash twice to confirm that the vehicle has been unlocked.

If the turn signals do not flash to confirm locking, one or more doors, the rear hatch or the engine hood is not locked.

If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked with the remote control vehicle key.

If the vehicle was unlocked with the remote control vehicle key and the door or the rear hatch has not been opened in about 30 seconds, the vehicle is automatically locked again. This feature helps prevent you from leaving the vehicle unlocked unintentionally.
