Applicable only in Mexico and the AGCC
Introduction
In this section you'll find information about:
Programming the garage door opener
Operating the garage door opener
The garage door opener in your vehicle can be used to open/close an automatic garage door or gate,
activate a house alarm, or control a lighting system or other devices. Such devices usually come with
a hand-held remote control that sends a signal to a controller to operate the device.
These instructions will help you program the garage door opener in your vehicle so that you will not
have to use the hand-held remote control that was supplied with the garage door opener or other
device, inside your vehicle.
Fixed code or rolling code
The garage door opener or other device may work with either a fixed or rolling code. For garage door
openers or other devices with rolling codes, the garage door opener in your vehicle must be synchro-
nized after programming the device.
Compatibility
Volkswagen recommends that you consult an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility about compatible devices before you buy a garage door opener or other
device that you want to control with the garage door opener in your vehicle.
The garage door opener can be programmed to the radio frequency codes of most current hand-held
remote controls.
Safety switches are mandatory for garage door openers.
DANGER
20 mm button cells and other lithium batteries will cause serious personal injury and even
death within a short time if swallowed.
Always keep hand-held remote control devices with batteries, spare batteries, as well as
dead button cell and larger 20 mm batteries out of the reach of children.
Get medical attention immediately if you suspect that a battery has been swallowed.
