Access/Start Authorization System Overview: Locking

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, 2013 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ID sensor in ignition key must be located within reception range of lock location of approximately 1.5 meters (5 ft.). Touching the locking sensor on the outside of the door handle activates the sensor. This then speaks to the ID sensor inside the key and the vehicle unlocks if the identification is valid.

The Access/Start Authorization Control Module -J518- controls all access/start functions, refer to ACCESS/START AUTHORIZATION COMPONENTS .
