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.
