Get Instrument cluster -> Instruments Guide for Volkswagen Multivan SUV Sixth Generation (2015-2024)

● The maximum speed limit cannot be overridden by a kick-down.

Mileage displays

The odometer records the total distance travelled by the vehicle.

The trip recorder shows the distance travelled since the trip recorder was last reset.

1. briefly press the

button in the instrument cluster to reset the trip recorder to 0.

Compass

If the ignition is switched on, depending on the equipment level, the instrument cluster display shows the current

direction of travel in the form of an abbreviation (e.g. NW for north-west).

The graphic compass display is also available when the Infotainment system is switched on and route guidance is not

active.

Radiator fan run-on

This appears after the vehicle’s drive system has been deactivated and the radiator fan continues to run.

The cause of this can be:

—Exhaust gas treatment, e.g. as part of particulate filter regeneration.

—Dissipation of engine heat after a high load, e.g. when towing.

Engine code

1. Switch on ignition, but the engine must not run.

2. Press and hold the

button on the instrument cluster for around 15 seconds to display the engine code.

Telephone information

The symbol is shown in the instrument cluster display if a mobile telephone is connected via Bluetooth®.

The symbol also indicates the charge level of the mobile phone battery.

Selector lever position for the automatic gearbox

The gear selected is displayed on the side of the selector lever and on the display in the instrument cluster. The

instrument cluster display shows which gear has been selected if the selector lever is in D position or in Tiptronic

mode (→ Automatic gearbox).

Different instrument clusters are available, which means that the versions and displays may vary. In displays

without warning or information texts, faults are indicated exclusively by the indicator lamps.

Some displays in the instrument cluster may be overridden by sudden alerts, e.g. incoming telephone

calls.

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, select selector lever position D/S or lift your foot off the accelerator before the needle

33

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.

Troubleshooting

Fuel tank almost empty

The indicator lamp lights up yellow. The reserve volume(red marking) is being consumed .

1. Refuel at the next opportunity (→ Fuel types and refuelling).

Depending on equipment: when the indicator lamp lights up, the auxiliary heater and the fuel-powered

supplementary heater switch off automatically.

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 will not function if the engine “sputters” or

stops completely due to a lack of fuel or irregular fuel supply.

● Refuel when the fuel tank is still 1/4 full in order to avoid breaking down due to lack of fuel.

NOTICE

Never run the fuel tank completely dry. Irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and allow unburnt fuel to enter the

exhaust system.
