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.
After the engine is switched off, the radia-
tor 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
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 deactivates the immobiliser automatically when a valid vehicle is
located inside the vehicle → page 79.
The electronic immobiliser is activated automatically once the valid vehicle key is no longer located inside the vehicle → page 79.
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 → page 77.
The vehicle cannot be operated properly if
you do not have a genuine Volkswagen key.
