  • 1) Some Volkswagen models are equipped with a keyless ignition feature. The details as to how the system works can vary and Volkswagen owners should consult their owner's literature or an authorized Volkswagen dealer if they have further questions about the operation of this feature. Please note that Volkswagen warns against leaving the vehicle unattended with the engine running, particularly in enclosed spaces.
  • 2) ¹Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age.
  • 3) ¹Requires compatible device.
  • 4) The Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) will only activate in a collision where the airbags deploy or safety belt pretensioners activate. Not all collisions cause airbags to deploy or safety belt pretensioners to activate.
