WARNING
Never switch off the engine while the vehicle is in motion. This can lead to a loss of vehicle control, accidents and serious injuries.
The airbags and belt tensioners will not work if the ignition is switched off.
The brake servo will not work when the engine is switched off. More force is required on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
The power steering will not function if the engine is switched off, and more force will be required to steer the vehicle.
If the vehicle key is removed from the ignition, the steering lock can activate and you will no longer be able to steer the vehicle.
NOTICE
If the vehicle has been driven at high load for a long period, the engine can overheat when it is switched off. In order to avoid damage to the
engine, allow the engine to run in neutral for approximately two minutes before switching it off.
In vehicles with an automatic gearbox, the vehicle key can be removed from the ignition lock only if the selector lever is in position P.
After the engine is switched off, the radiator fan in the engine compartment may run on for some minutes, even if the ignition is switched
off or the vehicle key has been removed. The radiator fan will switch itself off automatically.

Electronic immobiliser

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings
The immobiliser helps to prevent the engine from being started and driven with an unauthorised vehicle key.
There is a chip in the key. It automatically deactivates the immobiliser when the vehicle key is inserted into the ignition lock.
The electronic immobiliser is automatically activated when the vehicle key is removed from the ignition lock. In vehicles with Keyless Access, the
vehicle key must be outside the vehicle.
The engine can only be started using a genuine Volkswagen vehicle key with the correct code. Coded vehicle keys are available from a
Volkswagen dealership → Vehicle key set
If a non-authorised vehicle key has been used, this will be displayed in the instrument cluster. The vehicle cannot be used if this occurs.
The vehicle cannot be operated properly if you do not have a genuine Volkswagen key.

Start/stop system

The start/stop system automatically switches
the engine off when the vehicle is coming to
a stop and when stationary. When required,
the engine restarts automatically.
