How to Deactivate the Safety Lock on a Volkswagen When It Prevents Ignition?

[VonJesse]

The method to deactivate the safety lock on a Volkswagen is as follows: When the screen displays the message 'Please note the safety lock function, refer to the user manual,' follow the instructions in the manual. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, do not turn off the engine. Instead, open the driver's door, ensuring that the driver unlocks all door locks. Then, turn off the engine, and the warning message will no longer appear. Definition of Safety Lock: When the safety lock function is activated, the doors cannot be opened from inside the vehicle. Locking the car without activating the safety lock means the doors cannot be opened from outside but can be opened from inside. Activating the safety lock function prevents the doors from being opened both inside and outside the vehicle. Method to Cancel the Safety Lock: Press the brake pedal to keep the vehicle stationary. Engage the electronic parking brake to prevent the vehicle from moving while modifying the safety lock function. Then, press the settings button on the vehicle's central display screen. In the pop-up interface, select the 'ReaR' button and click 'OFF' to deactivate the safety lock.
