Priority 2 warning

The yellow central warning lamp flashes or lights up, in some cases together with acoustic warnings or additional symbols.

Malfunctions and insufficient service fluids can damage the vehicle and cause it to break down. Check the fault as soon as possible. In

this case, go to a suitably qualified workshop immediately and have the system checked. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised

Volkswagen repairer.

Note about information in the owner’s manual

You will find further information on the warning in the owner’s manual.

Information message

Information about various procedures within the vehicle.

If several warnings are present, the symbols will appear for several seconds, one after another. The symbols will continue to

appear until the faults are rectified.

If warnings about malfunctions are displayed when the vehicle’s drive system is activated, it may not be possible to adjust

some settings as described, or the information display may appear differently. If the fault persists, go to a suitably qualified

workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.

The vehicle is equipped with a digital instrument cluster. The instrument cluster displays basic information such as speed.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the following functions may also be available:

—Display messages.

—Information on charge level and range.

—Status displays for driver assist systems.

—Various menus, e.g. for driver assist systems.

—Warning and indicator lamps.

The content can be individually customised and settings adjusted in the menus.

WARNING

Operating the instrument cluster and Infotainment system can distract you from the road. If the driver is distracted when driving, this

can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

● Drive with your full attention and with responsibility.

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

● Adjust all settings in the instrument cluster and Infotainment system only when the vehicle is stationary.

WARNING

The display may be switched off if there is a serious fault in the instrument cluster. The indicator lamp may also light up. Warnings

can no longer be displayed. This can lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic and can cause accidents, serious injuries and even

death.

● Stop the vehicle in a safe place.

● Seek expert assistance.

When you activate the vehicle’s drive system after the 12-volt vehicle battery has been totally discharged, replaced or after a

jump start, you may find that system settings, such as 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.

When the outside temperature is low, the display in the instrument cluster may take slightly longer to appear than at warm

outside temperatures.

The ID. Cockpit is a digital instrument cluster with a high-resolution LC colour display. By selecting different information profiles,

displays from the driver assist systems and other displays can be shown in addition to the digital speedometer. The term “digital

instrument cluster” is used below for the ID. Cockpit.

—Warning and information messages.

Outside temperature display

If the outside temperature falls below around +4°C (around +39°F), a snowflake symbol appears in the upper area of the digital

instrument cluster as an overlay . This symbol remains lit until the outside temperature rises above +6°C (+43°F) .

In the following situations, the temperature displayed may be higher than the actual outside temperature as a result of the heat

radiated from the vehicle.

—When the vehicle is stationary.

—When travelling at very low speeds.

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

WARNING

Roads may be icy at low outside temperatures, also above freezing. There is an increased risk of accidents on icy roads. This can result

in serious or fatal injuries.

● Drive with particular care if the symbol is displayed on the instrument cluster display.

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

● Never rely only on the outside temperature display.

Open doors, bonnet and boot lid

The digital instrument cluster indicates if any doors, the bonnet or boot lid are open once the vehicle has been unlocked and while the

vehicle is in motion. In some cases, an acoustic warning is also given.

Speed warning for winter tyres

A display in the digital instrument cluster indicates when you have exceeded the set maximum speed.

Speed warning settings can be made in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu).

Mileage displays

The odometer registers the total distance travelled by the vehicle.

Range

Approximate calculation of the distance in kilometres that can still be travelled with the current battery charge level under the current

driving conditions and with the same consumption rate. This distance is calculated using factors that include the current energy

consumption.

Seat-occupied recognition system

After activation of the vehicle’s drive system, occupied seats are detected and shown on the instrument cluster and the display also

shows whether the seat belt is fastened on the occupied seats.

Some notifications in the digital instrument cluster may be overridden by sudden events, e.g. speed warning.

Depending on the vehicle equipment level, some settings and displays may also appear in the Infotainment system.

Charge level display

In the digital instrument cluster: charge level of the high-

voltage battery 1 and vehicle range 2 (illustration).

The current charge level of the high-voltage battery is displayed in the digital instrument cluster by the symbol

with a percentage

value → Fig. 1 1 . The fill level of the battery symbol changes with the charge level.

Range display

The vehicle range is specified in kilometres (km) or miles (mi), depending on the setting → Fig. 1 2 .

The range can also vary even for a fully charged high-voltage battery. The displayed value is calculated and updated based on different

criteria:

—Driving style → General driving tips.

—Environmental conditions, e.g. low outside temperature.

—Interior air conditioning → Save electrical energy.

—Vehicle load → Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the vehicle.

—Planned route.

When route guidance is activated, the range is calculated depending on the planned route. Factors taken into account are both the

expected speed and the topographical characteristics → Adjusting the range and Electric Vehicle Route Planner.

Sufficient charge level and reserve range

Green

The charge level is sufficient → Fig. 2 1 .

Yellow

The charge level is 20% or less than 20% → Fig. 2 2 .

Red

The charge level is 10 % or less than 10 % → Fig. 2 3 .

Charge the high-voltage battery as soon as possible to prevent the vehicle from breaking down.

WARNING

Driving when the charge level of the high-voltage battery is too low can lead to the vehicle breaking down when in traffic, and can

lead to accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

● Always make sure the high-voltage battery has sufficient charge.

WARNING

When the charge level of the high-voltage battery reaches the reserve range, this may result in changed vehicle handling, e.g.

different acceleration response of the vehicle. This can result in accidents and severe injuries.

● Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions as well as the charge level of the

high-voltage battery.

● Always make sure the high-voltage battery has sufficient charge.

NOTICE

Self-discharge of the high-voltage battery, e.g. due to the vehicle standing for periods of several months, can lead to the high-

voltage battery being damaged if ambient temperatures are high and the high-voltage battery has a low charge level.

● Always make sure the high-voltage battery has sufficient charge.

The range for electric driving may be reduced at very low outside temperatures when the high-voltage battery is consequently

very cold.

In the digital instrument cluster: power display (illustration).

The power display shows the current performance capability of the electric drive and the current electric drive or recuperation power

while the vehicle is in motion.

Display concept

When the vehicle’s drive system has been activated, the

indicator lamp lights up green in the instrument cluster.

Using the bar divided in the middle, the power display continuously shows the availability of brake energy recuperation → Fig. 1 1

(green) to the left and traction → Fig. 1 3 (dark blue) to the right. The availability is unrestricted when the respective bar reaches the

end marking. If there is a restriction, the filling level of the respective bar decreases correspondingly.

The currently used drive power is displayed dynamically by a lighter bar, either as brake energy recuperation power (light green) to the

left or traction power → Fig. 1 2 (light blue) to the right.

The power limit of the electric drive is reached when the current drive power and currently available performance capability are the

same (bars filled to equal level)

The power limit cannot be achieved at all vehicle speeds.

Influencing factors

The following influencing factors apply in addition to the vehicle speed:

—The availability of traction and brake energy recuperation depends on the charge level of the high-voltage battery. Brake energy

recuperation may be restricted by a high charge level and traction by a low charge level.

—If the temperature of the high-voltage battery gets very low or very high, this can lead to a reduction in the available drive power.

This applies to traction and brake energy recuperation

WARNING

When the performance capability of the electric drive is reduced, this may result in changed vehicle handling, e.g. different

acceleration response of the vehicle. This can result in accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.

● Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions as well as the charge level of the

high-voltage battery.

● Always make sure the high-voltage battery has sufficient charge.
