Menu structure – overview
Using the instrument cluster menus
Main menu
Driving data
When the ignition is switched on, you can display different types of information in the instrument
cluster. The menu options vary depending on whether you have a Basic or Premium version of the
Volkswagen Information System. With the Premium instrument cluster display, you can also control
certain vehicle features.
Your vehicle is equipped with controls either on the windshield wiper lever ⇒ fig. 14 or steering wheel
⇒ fig. 15. Vehicles equipped with a multi-function steering wheel do not have buttons on the wind-
shield wiper lever to control the displays. Vehicles equipped with controls on the windshield wiper lever
are not equipped with controls on the steering wheel.
The number of menus and information in the instrument cluster display depends on the electronics
and equipment on the vehicle.
An authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility may be able to add or
modify functions depending on your vehicle's equipment.
As long as a priority 1 warning message is displayed, no menus can be accessed. To display menus,
acknowledge the warning by pressing the ꢀꢁꢂꢃꢄꢅꢄꢆ button on the windshield wiper lever or the ꢀꢁ
button on the multi-function steering wheel.
