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

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.
NOTICE
If the windows are open, rain could enter the vehicle and soak the interior, causing vehicle damage.
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
The power window pinch protection can reduce the risk of being pinched and injured when the windows are closing.
If the window cannot close due to resistance or an obstacle, then the window will reopen immediately .
-
Check why the window did not close.
-
Try again to close the window.
If the window will not close again, then the pinch protection will be disabled for several seconds.
If the window still cannot close, then the window will stop at the place where it meets resistance. If you press the switch again within several seconds, the window will close without pinch protection .
Closing windows without pinch protection
-
Try to close the windows again within a few seconds by holding the switch. This will disable the pinch protection.
If the closing process takes longer than several seconds, then pinch protection will be enabled again. If there is resistance to the window moving or an obstacle is blocking the window, then the window will reopen automatically.
-
If the window still cannot close, then contact a suitably qualified professional. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
WARNING
Closing the window when pinch protection is disabled can result in serious injuries.
-
Always be careful when closing the windows.
-
Never allow anyone to be in the window operating area, especially if a window is closing when pinch protection is disabled.
-
The pinch protection does not prevent fingers or other parts of the body from becoming injured by being pressed against the window frame.
Pinch protection also occurs when using the convenience closing function with the vehicle key.
Troubleshooting
One-touch up/down feature
If the 12 V vehicle battery is disconnected or drained when the windows are not completely closed, then the one-touch up/down feature will not work. It must be reprogrammed using the following steps:
-
Switch the ignition on.
-
Close all windows and doors.
-
Pull the switch for the desired window and hold it in that position for several seconds.
-
Release the switch, then pull it upward again and hold it.
The one-touch up and down features will then be fully functional.
The automatic power windows can be reprogrammed individually, or multiple windows can be reprogrammed at the same time.
Controls are responding differently than expected
Moisture, dirt and grease may limit the functioning of the controls.
-
Always keep the control panels clean and dry.
