Summary
Tech Tips (Valet Key Operation): This document informs the valet key on the 2012-2013 Passat differs from earlier vehicles. The valet key is used to lock the glove box, ski pass-through door (if equipped), and the emergency seat back release cover only. The valet switch in the glove box can be activated to disable the rear lid release switches (including remote function), and then lock the glove box with the valet key. The customer then keeps the plastic valet key and gives the valet the remote flip key.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 188 complaints in the electrical category.
