Service  
Service interval display  
Service events are shown in the instrument cluster display.  
Service appointments at Volkswagen are divided into oil change services and inspections. The service interval display informs the driver about the next service  
appointment which includes an engine oil change and about the next inspection.  
On vehicles without messages you can see which service appointment is currently being shown, by looking at the display at the top right of the instrument cluster  
display:  
1: Oil change service.  
2: Inspection.  
The service intervals are specified for vehicles with the fixed oil change service interval.  
Intervals are determined individually on vehicles with the flexible oil change service interval. Oil change services only need to be performed if the vehicle requires it  
The specific operating conditions and the personal driving style are also taken into consideration. The service early warning message is first displayed 30 days prio  
to the calculated oil change service due date. The displayed remaining distance to be traveled is always rounded to 100 miles (km) and the remaining time is  
rounded to whole days. The current service message can only be retrieved as of 310 miles (500 km) after the last service. Until then, only dashes appear on the  
display.  
Service reminder  
If your vehicle is due to be serviced soon, a service reminder will appear when you switch on the ignition.  
In the case of vehicles without text messages, a wrench symbol  
appears in the instrument cluster display with an indicator in km and a clock symbol  
with  
indicator showing the number of days to the service appointment that is due. The number of miles (kilometers) stated is the maximum number of miles (kilometers)  
that can be driven before the service appointment. In addition, to the top right of the display you can see which service appointment the reminder applies to ( 1 for  
oil change service, 2 for inspection).  
If the service reminder is displayed for both service appointments (display 1 and 2 at the top right of the instrument cluster display), then for vehicles without  
messages, the number of kilometers and the display in days applies for the very next service appointment.  
For vehicles with messages in the instrument cluster display, Oil change service or Inspection in --- km or --- days appears.  
Service event  
If your vehicle is due an oil change service or inspection service, a warning chime will sound and the wrench symbol  
will blink for a few seconds when you  
switch on the ignition. For vehicles with messages in the instrument cluster display, Oil service now! or Inspection now! appears.
