navigation information or information on audio playback or the mobile phone interface can be displayed in the

secondary displays. Proceed as follows to select the secondary displays:

—Use the or button to select the left-hand or right-hand secondary display area.

—Use the arrow keys or to select your preferred secondary display.

—Press the

button to confirm your selection.

Rev counter

The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the maximum engine speed that may be used in each gear when the

engine is warm and after it has been run in properly.

You should change up a gear or move the selector lever toD/S or lift your foot off the accelerator before the needle

reaches the red zone.

NOTICE

● When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and overloading the engine.

● The needle on the rev counter should only briefly point into the red area, as engine damage may otherwise be

incurred.

Changing up a gear early will help to save fuel and reduce engine

noise.

23

Fuel gauge

Fig. 1 Fuel gauge in the analogue instrument cluster.

Fig. 2 Fuel gauge in the digital instrument cluster.

Fuel tank almost empty

The indicator lamp lights up yellow. The engine is consuming the reserve volume(red marking).

—Fill the tank as soon as possible.

The auxiliary heater and the fuel-powered supplementary heater switch off automatically when the indicator lamp

lights up.

WARNING

Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in traffic, potentially causing

accidents and serious injuries.

● When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular, especially when driving up or

down hills and inclines.

● The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems stop working if the engine “sputters” or goes off

due to fuel shortage or irregular fuel supply.

● Always refuel when the fuel tank is still 1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel and breaking down.

NOTICE

Do not run the fuel tank empty. The irregular fuel supply can cause backfiring and allow unburnt fuel to enter the

exhaust system.

The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol in the fuel gauge shows you the side of the vehicle on which

the tank flap is located.

The engaged position and, depending on the gearbox program, the engaged gear are shown both on the selector

lever and on instrument cluster display. The gear shift pattern is displayed in the instrument cluster when the brake

or selector lever is operated.

Outside temperature display

If the outside temperature drops below approximately +4°C(+39°F), the outside temperature display shows a

symbol. This symbol remains lit until the outside temperature rises above +6°C (+43°F) .

In the following situation, the temperature displayed may be higher than the actual outside temperature as a result

of the heat radiated from the engine.

—When the vehicle is stationary.

—When the auxiliary heater is being used.

—When travelling at very low speeds.

26

The measuring range is between -45°C(-49°F) and +76°C (+169°F).

WARNING

Streets and bridges can ice over at outside temperatures above freezing point.

● The symbol indicates that there is a risk of black ice.

● There may also be black ice on the road at outside temperatures above +4°C(+39°F) when the symbol is not

displayed.

● You should never rely solely on the outside temperature display!

Gear-change indicator

A recommended gear for reducing fuel consumption may be displayed while the vehicle is in motion (→ Gear-change

indicator).

Speed warning for winter tyres

The display shows that the vehicle is exceeding the set maximum speed (→ Menus and information displays).

Driver Alert System (recommendation for rest breaks)

Fig. 1 On the display of the instrument cluster: Driver Alert

System symbol.

The Driver Alert System informs the driver if their driving shows signs of tiredness.

Function and operation

The Driver Alert System determines the driving behaviour at the beginning of a journey and uses it to evaluate the

tiredness of the driver. This is compared to the behaviour of the driver while actually driving. If the system detects

driver fatigue, an acoustic warning signal will sound and a symbol will be displayed on the instrument cluster display

together with a supplementary text message → Fig. 1. The message in the instrument cluster display is displayed for

about five seconds and may be repeated once. The last displayed message is saved by the system.

The message on instrument cluster display can be deactivated as follows:

—Press the

button on the multifunction steering wheel.

Function conditions

The driving behaviour can be evaluated only when the speed is above 60 km/h(around 37 mph) up to approximately

200 km/h (around 125 mph).

Switching on and off

The Driver Alert System is always active when the vehicle’s drive system is activated. You can switch the Driver Alert

System on and off in the Assist systems menu in the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu).

Function limitations

The Driver Alert System has system-related limitations. The following conditions can limit the function of the Driver

Alert System, or prevent it from working altogether:

—When travelling at speeds of less than approximately 60 km/h(around 37 mph).

32

—When travelling at speeds of more than approximately 200 km/h(around 125 mph).

—Roads with bends.

—Road works.

—Poor roads.

—Adverse weather conditions.

—Sporty driving style.

—Driving with a trailer.

—The driver is distracted.

The Driver Alert System is reset in the following situations:

—The ignition is switched off.

—The driver seat belt is unfastened and the driver door is open.

—The vehicle has been stationary for longer than approximately 15 minutes.

The Driver Alert System is reset automatically if you drive slowly at a speed less than approx. 60 km/h(around

37 mph) for a long period. If the speed is increased, the system evaluates the driving behaviour again.

WARNING

The intelligent technology used in the Driver Alert System cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only

within the limits of the system. Do not let the extra convenience afforded by the Driver Alert System tempt you into

taking any risks when driving – this can cause accidents. During a long trip, plan regular and sufficient breaks.

● The driver is responsible at all times for their fitness to drive.

● Never drive a vehicle when you are tired.

● The system cannot always detect the driver's level of alertness. Observe the information in the section “Function

limitations”.

● In certain situations, the system may wrongly interpret intentional driving manoeuvres as a lack of alertness from

the driver.

● No urgent warning will be given in the event of the phenomenon known as “microsleep”.

● Observe the information in the instrument cluster display and respond according to the commands.

The Driver Alert System has been developed for use only while driving on motorways and good

roads.

If there is a system fault, proceed to a qualified workshop immediately to have the system

checked.

Dynamic Road Sign Display

Dynamic Road Sign Display uses a camera in the base of the interior mirror to monitor standard road signs and

informs the driver of any detected speed limits, overtaking restrictions and danger signs. Within the limits of the

system, the system also displays additional signs, e.g. temporary restrictions or restrictions in wet or foggy

conditions. In some cases, the system can also display the current speed limits on non-signposted routes.

The Dynamic Road Sign Display is always active when the ignition is switched on.

Displays

In addition to speed limits and overtaking restrictions, Dynamic Road Sign Display also detects the road sign which

indicates that all restrictions have been lifted on motorways and main roads in Germany. In all other countries in

which the system is operated, the current speed limit is displayed instead.

The road signs detected by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system are displayed on the instrument cluster depending

33

on the selected information profile. Road signs may also be displayed in the Infotainment system, depending on the

system installed in the vehicle.

In vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket and a trailer with an electrical connection to the vehicle, the display of

road signs that may apply to the vehicle when towing a trailer, e.g. applicable speed limits and no-overtaking signs,

can be activated or deactivated in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu).

In trailer mode, the speed warning function display can be adjusted to the type of trailer or to legal requirements. The

settings can be adjusted in increments of 10 km/h (5 mph) within a range between 60 km/h (35 mph) and 130 km/h

(80 mph). If a higher speed is set than is permitted for driving with a trailer in the country in which you are currently

travelling, Dynamic Road Sign Display automatically issues a warning at the usual speed limit, e.g. at 80 km/h

(50 mph) in Germany.

No-entry warning

If the Dynamic Road Sign Display detects a no-entry sign on a one-way road or motorway entrance, it will issue an

acoustic warning signal or display a message on the instrument cluster display.

Function limitations

Dynamic Road Sign Display is subject to system-related limitations. The following conditions can restrict the function

of Dynamic Road Sign Display, or prevent it from working altogether:

—Poor visibility, e.g. due to snow, rain, fog or heavy spray.

—When dazzled, e.g. by oncoming traffic or sunlight.

—High speeds.

—Covered or dirty camera.

—Road signs that are located outside of the camera's field of view.

—Partially or fully hidden road signs, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other vehicles.

—Road signs that do not correspond to the standard design.

—Damaged or bent road signs.

—Variable road signs on gantries(changeable road sign display using LEDs or other light sources).

—Out-of-date map material of the Infotainment system.

—Vehicles have that have road sign stickers, e.g. speed restrictions on trucks.

WARNING

The intelligent road sign recognition system technology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only

within the limits of the system. Do not let the extra convenience afforded by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system

tempt you into taking any risks when driving – this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full

concentration of the driver.

● Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.

● Poor visibility, darkness, snow, rain and fog can cause traffic signs to be not displayed or be incorrectly displayed

by the system.

● If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the Dynamic Road Sign Display system

35

may be impaired.

WARNING

Driving recommendations and traffic symbols displayed by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system may differ from

the current traffic situation.

● Not all traffic signs can be recognised by the system and displayed correctly.

● Traffic signs and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and displays provided by the

Dynamic Road Sign Display system.

Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and can therefore change

automatically when the user account is changed (→ Personalisation).

Service interval display

Service events are displayed on the instrument cluster and in the Infotainment system.

Versions and displays can vary as different versions of the instrument cluster and Infotainment system are available.

In vehicles with fixed oil change service, services take place at predefined intervals.

The service intervals are calculated on an individual basis in vehicles withflexible oil change service. Advances in

technology have brought about a considerable reduction in servicing requirements. An oil change service must only

be carried out when required by the vehicle. The individual conditions in which the vehicle is used and the driver's

personal driving style are taken into account. The service reminder is displayed 30 days before the service is due. The

distance is rounded to the nearest 100 km and the remaining time is rounded to full days.

Service alert

If a service or inspection is due soon, a service alert will appear the next time the ignition is switched on.

The mileage or time shown corresponds to the maximum mileage or time that can still be driven before the next

service.

Service event

For a scheduled service or a scheduled inspection, an acoustic signal will be given when the ignition is switched on

and the spanner symbol will be displayed for several seconds on the instrument cluster display. One of the following

displays

will also appear:

—Inspection now!

—Oil service now!

—Oil service and inspection now!

Accessing service schedules

You can access the current service schedule when the ignition is switched on, the engine is not running, and the

vehicle is stationary:

1. Touch the Vehicle function button.

2. Select the Status menu item and touch theService function button to display the service information.

Information on the service schedule can also be accessed via the Service menu (→ Service menu).

Resetting the service interval display

If the service or the inspection was not performed by a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership, the display can

be reset as follows:

—The service interval display can only be reset via the Service menu (→ Service menu).

Do not reset the service interval display between service intervals otherwise incorrect data may be shown.

If the oil change service was manually reset, the service interval display then also changes to a fixed service interval in

vehicles with flexible oil change service.

The service message will go out after a few seconds when the engine is running or you can press the

button on the multifunction steering wheel.

39

If the 12-volt vehicle battery was disconnected for long periods in vehicles with flexible service, the system

cannot calculate the time at which the next service is due. The information shown in the service interval

display may therefore be incorrect. If this is the case, then please observe the maximum service intervals.

Introduction

Some menu options can only be called up when the vehicle is stationary.

There are no buttons on the wiper lever in vehicles equipped with a multifunction steering wheel.

WARNING

Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.

● Never operate the menus on the instrument cluster display while the vehicle is in motion.

When you start the engine after the 12-volt vehicle battery has been totally discharged or changed, you may

find that system settings (time, date, personal convenience settings and programming)have been changed or

deleted. Check and correct the settings as necessary once the 12-volt vehicle battery has been sufficiently

charged.

If warning messages about malfunctions are displayed when the ignition is switched on, it may not be

possible to adjust some settings as described, or the information display may appear differently. If this is the

case, take the vehicle to a qualified workshop to have the malfunction rectified.

40

Menus in the instrument cluster

The range of content and layout of the menus and displays depend on the vehicle electronics and the level of vehicle

equipment.

Qualified workshops can program and modify other functions depending on the vehicle equipment level. Volkswagen

Commercial Vehicles recommends using a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership for this purpose.

Some menu options can only be called up when the vehicle is stationary.
