Title: Picked car up ( now with pics )
Post by: WILLS on 14 March 2011, 21:47

Picked my car up on Saturday, pictures will be on asap! Gave 'tilly'  :laugh: a good shampoo, clay and wax today looking fine,
one thing thats baffling me is when i turn the ignition off i get a message on the mfd saying check safe locking or something like that, what is that all about?

Is this not the check it does to make sure you've got the DSG in the "P" position?

I know it doesnt let you take the key out until it is in this position.

Haven't seen this message before though  :laugh:

Hi Wills,

Can you get a photo so we know exactly what it's saying?

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of the MK6 Golf  :wink:

Mine says exactly the same. I did have a quick look in the manual but couldnt find anything about it. I'll try remember to take a pic next time I'm in the car although it only shows for a couple of seconds.

I don't get that. I'd take it to the dealership mate they should be able to tell you straightaway, although in reality you'll probobly have to go in 5 times........

I get that on my car too. It's being showing up since Day 1. It is also on my mothers 1.6 TDI.

Stupid question but have you checked the owners manual?  :grin:

Yes, its a new modification introduced for MY2011.

Its purely a warning that the Scirocco is fitted with deadlocks. Just they have now made it a visual aid in the dash for MY2011 onwards.

SafeLock = Deadlock. Look up the "3.1 Controls & Equipment" hand book on how deadlocking works. There is a warning not to lock passengers in with the deadlocks engaged .... for obvious reasons.

Deadlock engaged by pressing once on the ignition key plipper. Red alarm LED in the driver's door panel will flash rapidly for about 2 seconds. Then it will slowly flash. Car is "Deadlocked".

Press the plipper twice when locking up (the second press being within 2 seconds of the first and before the rapid flashing of the LED stops), the LED will flash rapidly but then perminently extinguish. Car is locked but deadlocks are not engaged.

Opening is just a press on the plipper.

If when locking the Scirocco, the LED doesn't flash but is perminently on for about 30 seconds and then starts flashing slowly, then there is a fault with the central locking or the alarm system. (Had this at Chrismas and it was the alarm horn had gone faulty.)
The fault(s) should be visible with VCDS.

Alright thanks gm8  :smiley: I still don't think people need reminding every time they turn there ignition off that the car can deadlock.

Thanks for the kind comments  :smiley: Yeah really pleased with how the paint has come up, got quite a lot of rubbish off it when it was clayed which always surprises me on new cars. a good coat of swissvax shield (due to all the road salt) gave a really good shine!
