If the alarm on the Volkswagen Golf keeps sounding and you need to temporarily disable it, locate the deactivation switch marked with the position "DEACTIVATE". Work with the vehicle stationary and safely to prevent the alarm from restarting while you are intervening.

On the shown Volkswagen Golf, the switch is accessible from the driver's door area: once the area around the handle/lock is exposed, use a small tool (like a flathead screwdriver) to operate the selector and move it to the deactivation position.

After the operation, check that the Volkswagen Golf no longer triggers the siren during normal opening/closing maneuvers, and when needed, return the selector to the opposite position to reactivate the alarm.
