2019 Volkswagen Beetle Alarm System Operation

Introduction

The alarm system in the 2019 Volkswagen Beetle is up-to-date, dependable, and intended to increase the car’s security. The alarm system is intended to keep the car safe against intrusion, theft, and unwanted entry. When engaged, the alarm system keeps an eye on a number of entrance points, including the cabin’s interior and the doors, trunk, and hood.

The alarm will sound like a siren and flash the lights of the car to warn you and others of a possible security breach.  The Beetle has an immobilizer system that prevents the engine from starting unless the proper key is used, in addition to the alarm system. This increases the level of security against theft. A panic button is also present on the remote key fob. By pressing this button, the alarm system is set off, which can be useful in an emergency because it sounds the siren and flashes the lights.

Anti-theft alarm system

• Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

Your vehicle may be equipped with an anti-theft alarm system or pre-equipped for anti-theft alarm system installation. If the vehicle is pre-equipped for installation of the anti-theft alarm system, the alarm system can be retrofitted by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
The anti-theft alarm system makes it more difficult for someone to break into or steal the vehicle.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically activated when the vehicle is locked by pressing the lock button on the remote control vehicle key.

When is the alarm triggered?
The anti-theft alarm system sounds for about 30 seconds and the turn signals flash for up to 5 minutes if the following occurs with respect to the locked vehicle:

• Opening a door that has been mechanically unlocked.
• Forcibly opening a door.
• Forcibly opening the engine hood.
• Forcibly opening the rear hatch.
• Switching on the ignition with an invalid key.
• Disconnecting the vehicle battery.

Deactivating the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlock button on the remote control vehicle key or switch on the ignition with a valid remote control vehicle key.
For vehicles with Keyless Access, the alarm can be deactivated by grasping one of the front door handles when a valid vehicle key is in range or by holding the remote control vehicle key to the right of the steering column trim and pressing the starter button ⇒  Starter button.

• After the alarm has stopped and the vehicle is opened again in the same or a different area that is protected by the alarm, the alarm is triggered again. For example, the alarm will sound again if the rear hatch is opened after one of the doors has been opened.
• The anti-theft alarm system is not activated when the vehicle is locked with the power lock switch
    on the inside of the driver or front passenger doors.
• If the driver door is mechanically unlocked using the vehicle key bit, only the driver door is un-locked, not the entire vehicle. Switching on the ignition deactivates the anti-theft alarm system and activates the central locking button. To unlock the doors, use the central locking button or remote control vehicle key.
• If the vehicle battery is dead or weak, the anti-theft alarm system will not work properly.

Operation

• 
  Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
• The air conditioner works only when the ignition is switched on. The cooling system for the passenger compartment works only when the engine is running and the fan is on.
• The air conditioner is most efficient when the windows and the power sunroof are closed. If the vehicle is stationary and the passenger compartment becomes very hot due to sunlight, briefly opening the windows and the power sunroof may speed up the cooling process.
• Keep the air intake slots in front of the windshield free of ice, snow, and leaves so that the heating and ventilation systems can work properly.

Settings for optimum visibility
When you switch on the cooling system, both the temperature and humidity in the vehicle are reduced. This will help make passengers feel more comfortable and help keep the windows from fogging up.

For manual air conditioning

• Switch off the air recirculation ⇒  Air recirculation.
• Set the fan to the desired speed.
• Turn the temperature knob to the center position.
• Open and adjust all air vents in the instrument panel ⇒  Air vents.
• Turn the air distribution knob to the desired setting.
  Push the   button to turn on the air conditioner. The indicator light in the button lights up.

For Climatronic

• Press the
  button.
• Set the temperature to +72 °F (+22 °C).
• Open and adjust all air vents in the instrument panel ⇒  Air vents.
•  

Climatronic
Changing the temperature units

• The inside and outside temperatures can be displayed in either Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C).
• Select Units in the instrument cluster display in the Settings main menu Volkswagen Information System.
• You can also press and hold the and buttons to switch the Climatronic temperature display from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa.

Heating
Maximum heating output and defrosting performance are not possible until the engine has reached operating temperature.

Air conditioner does not work
The air conditioner may not switch on for one of the following reasons:

• The engine is not running.
• The fan is switched off.
• The air conditioner fuse has blown.
• The outside air temperature is colder than about +38 °F (+3 °C).
• The air conditioner compressor has been temporarily switched off due to excessive engine coolant temperature.
• There is another malfunction in the vehicle. Have the air conditioner checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Special considerations
When it is very hot and humid outside, water condensation can drip from the air conditioner evaporator and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak.

• 
  The climate control system adjusts the passenger compartment temperature as fast as possible considering the outside temperature.
• Due to residual moisture in the air conditioner, the windshield may fog up after the engine is started. Switch on the windshield defroster to help evaporate the condensation as quickly as possible.
• The air coming out of the vents flows through the passenger compartment and through the vents in the luggage compartment. Do not cover these slots with clothing or other things.
