When a Volkswagen battery dies, the vehicle may not start, and electronic systems like lights, infotainment, and power windows may fail. Warning lights could appear on the dashboard, and remote functions may stop working. In some cases, the car may enter limp mode. Replacing or jump-starting the battery typically restores normal function.
