If it's a new car take it to the nearest VW service centre. That's what a warranty is for.

Yes im aware of that...but if it just as simple of deactivating the deadlock then it would be handy to do it myself

the manual tells you how to turn on the deadlock feature but not how to turn it off...

I think that's just a warning.

Comes up on all the new Passat's (B7) I've driven when you take the key out.

No need to do anything.
