Does "Convenience Closing" close the "glass roof"?

    To lock the door you touch the dimple on the outside of the door handle.

    To unlock the door you put you hand inside the handle to open it. The sensor to unlock the door is on the inside of the handle.

    There's one other thing to note. If you lock the door, as previously mentioned, then realise you've left something in the car and immediately try to open it, as previously mentioned, it won't open. There is a time delay very cleverly built into the system. It's there so you can lock the door, then check it's locked by pulling in the handle. Very clever these Germans.

    Another thing to mention when washing your car. Water flowing over the dimple will lock the doors if you have the key in your pocket. To avoid this I put the key in the centre console. The doors won't lock if the car detects the key is inside.

    It also won't lock the doors unless the gear selector is in park. Took me ages to work that one out one day.

    These vehicles and their tech really is a voyage of discovery.

    I echo what others have said here. The sunroof (moonroof if you happen to be driving at night) can be programmed quite easily to close with the key, or on sensing rain, with VCDS.
    Yep, arse about indeed, I thought it the right way around, but typed it wrong!

      You do realise you'll be flogged at dawn with a wet lettuce for that heinous mistake.

        This is why I love online forums. No-one gets away with mistakes

          Well the dealer just rang and told me the 2 Tiguans on his lot with sunroofs do NOT close using the key fob

          *sigh*

            Apparently the Convenience Close feature for sunroofs has been disabled due to safety issues

            Unsure if it's a worldwide thing or a local hand wringing numpty politician

            I'd LOVE to see the youtube clip though

              When I picked up my Tiguan from the dealer, the salesperson mentioned that the convenience closing won't close the sunroof. She mentioned an issue with the Passat where it didn't meet safety requirements, and since then it has been disabled for all VWs. I also noticed this thread that mentions the same thing: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...ia-115072.html

                YES, It's worldwide. First car delivered were with CC, next no CC but mentioned in manual by not updated docs.
