Security alarm (VW Touareg 1)

Operation of the security alarm

The security alarm switches to the "Security" mode when there is an attempt to maliciously enter the vehicle.

The alarm system makes unauthorized entry into the car, theft and hijacking more difficult. The system includes sound and light alarm signals when attempting to unlock the car with a mechanical key or open the car in another way.

The security alarm is activated automatically when the car is locked and starts working immediately.

The security alarm turns on the "Security" mode when the following actions are performed with the vehicle locked:

• unlock the car with a mechanical key;
• open one of the doors;
• open the hood of the engine compartment;
• open the back door;
• turn on the ignition;
• there is movement in the cabin;
• an attempt is made to load the vehicle onto a tow truck.

At the same time, sound signals are given and direction indicators flash for 30 seconds.

Unlocking a car with a mechanical key (forced unlocking)

If the remote control or keyless entry fails and you have to unlock the vehicle with a mechanical key, you must do the following:

• fold back the key bit, for which you need to press the button;
• unlock the driver's door. The alarm remains active, but does not turn on the "Security" mode;
• within the next 30 seconds, turn on the ignition. When the ignition is turned on, the anti-theft system will recognize the authorized key and deactivate the security alarm. If the ignition is not turned on, 30 seconds after the door is unlocked, the "Security" mode will be activated.

Enabling the "Security" mode

The "Security" mode is switched off by pressing the radio key release button, as well as when the driver grabs the door handle during keyless entry and when inserting the key into the ignition switch.

NOTE: If after turning on the "Security" mode there is another intrusion into one of the protected zones (for example, after opening the side door, open the back door), the "Security" mode is turned on again. The security alarm remains operational even when the battery is disconnected or inoperative.

Monitoring the interior of the vehicle and protection against loading onto a tow truck.



To disable monitoring of the interior of the vehicle and protection against loading onto a tow truck, press the key . The control lamp in the key lights up.

Then press the key to disable protection against loading onto a tow truck. The control lamp in the key lights up.

Lock the vehicle within 30 seconds. The vehicle interior monitoring and tow truck protection will be disabled until the vehicle is locked again.


Monitoring the interior of the vehicle and protection against loading onto a tow truck (tilt sensor) are turned on automatically when the security alarm is turned on.

The interior surveillance of the vehicle must be switched off, for example, when a pet is left in a locked vehicle for a short time, otherwise the animal's movements will cause the "Security" mode to be activated.

The loading protection must be switched off, for example, when loading the vehicle onto a tow truck.

Before each locking of the vehicle, the interior monitoring and the protection against loading onto a recovery vehicle must be deactivated again, as they are automatically activated each time the vehicle is locked.
