WARNING

Careless or unintended use of the power windows can cause serious injuries.

• Do not open or close the power windows if anyone is in the way.
• Always take all vehicle keys with you when leaving the vehicle.
• Note that the windows can still be opened or closed using the door buttons for a brief period after the ignition has been switched off, as long as the driver's or front passenger door is not opened.
• When driving with children seated on the rear bench seat, always disable the rear power windows so that the windows cannot be opened or closed.

WARNING

If the vehicle is locked, the windows can no longer be opened and will prevent people from escaping from the vehicle interior. In an emergency, this could cause serious or fatal injuries.

• Never leave children or people requiring assistance unattended in the vehicle when the vehicle is locked.

NOTICE

If the windows are open, precipitation can enter the vehicle and soak the interior equipment, which could restrict the function of the controls or damage them.

• Close all windows if there is precipitation.

If the power windows are malfunctioning, the one-touch opening and closing function and the pinch protection may not function correctly. Contact a suitably qualified professional. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Convenience opening and closing only functions if the one-touch opening and closing function is activated for all the power windows.

Power window pinch protection

If the window will not close again, then the pinch protection will be disabled for several seconds.

Closing windows without pinch protection

1. Try to close the windows again within a few seconds by holding the switch. This will disable the pinch protection.

WARNING

Closing the window when pinch protection is disabled can result in serious injuries.

• Always be careful when closing the windows.
