Volkswagen repairer.  
if the indicator lamp lights up when starting a journey immediately after the last refuelling operation,  
Switch off the engine and seek expert assistance immediately.  
WARNING  
When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular and lead to the engine stuttering or stalling, 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 stalls due to a lack of fuel or irregular fuel supply. This can cause breakdowns in traffic, accidents and serious or fatal injuries.  
Make sure that the fuel tank is always sufficiently full.  
Always refuel when the fuel tank is only 1/4 full.  
NOTICE  
Irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and allow unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust system.  
Never run the fuel tank completely dry.  
Depending on equipment, the coolant temperature for engine cooling may be displayed in the Operating temperatures secondary  
display.  
If the warning lamp lights up red, the coolant temperature is too high for the engine or the coolant level is too low for the engine  
(→ Coolant).  
In the driver’s field of vision: displays in the head-up display  
(illustration).  
The head-up display projects selected information or warning messages from the assist systems or the Infotainment system into the  
driver’s field of vision.  
Some content cannot be hidden, e.g. warning messages.  
If the surroundings become darker, the display brightness is automatically dimmed. The basic brightness level is adjusted  
together with the instrument lighting (→ Instrument and switch lighting).  
Reflections can occur if the incident sunlight strikes the display at an unfavourable angle.  
Sunglasses with polarising filters can negatively affect the readability of the display.  
The ideal position to read the head-up display depends on the seat position and the height setting of the head-up display.  
Switching the head-up display on and off

Service schedules at Volkswagen are divided into two categories, oil change service and inspections. The service interval display  
provides information on the next service which includes an oil change and on the next scheduled inspection.  
In vehicles with fixed oil change service interval, services take place at predefined intervals.  
The service intervals are calculated on an individual basis in vehicles with flexible oil change service interval. An oil change service must  
be carried out only 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 for the first time 30 days before the calculated oil change service is due.  
The distance is rounded to the nearest 100 km (mi) and the remaining time is rounded to full days.  
Service notification  
If an oil change service or inspection is due soon, a service alert will appear the next time the ignition is switched on.  
The kilometres (miles) value or time shown corresponds to the maximum distance or time that can still be driven before the next  
service.  
Service event  
For a scheduled oil change service or a scheduled inspection, an acoustic warning will sound when the ignition is switched on and the  
spanner symbol  
appear:  
will be displayed for several seconds on the instrument cluster display. One of the following displays will also

Accessing service schedules  
You can access the current scheduled service event when the ignition is switched on, the engine is not running, and the vehicle is  
stationary:  
1. Tap Vehicle.  
2. To show the service information, open the Status menu and tap the Service function button.  
Information on the service schedule can also be accessed via the Service menu (→ Service menu).  
Resetting the service interval display  
If the service interval display was not reset after the oil change service or inspection, 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 interval was reset manually, the service interval display then also changes to a fixed service interval in vehicles  
with flexible oil change service interval.  
The service message will go out automatically after a few seconds when the engine is running, or when you press the  
button on the multifunction steering wheel.  
If the 12-volt vehicle battery was disconnected for long periods in vehicles with flexible oil change service interval, the system  
cannot calculate the time at which the next oil change service is due. The information shown in the service interval display may  
therefore be incorrect. In this case, observe the maximum permissible service intervals.

On the instrument cluster display: Drowsiness Monitor  
symbol.  
The Drowsiness Monitor informs the driver if their driving shows signs of fatigue.  
The Drowsiness Monitor determines the driver’s driving behaviour while driving and uses this information to evaluate the tiredness of  
the driver. If the system detects that the driver is tired, it provides a visual indication of this on the instrument cluster display by means  
of a warning or indicator lamp in combination with a supplementary text message and also issues an acoustic warning → Warning  
levels of the Drowsiness Monitor. The text message is shown in the instrument cluster display for around 6 seconds.

On the instrument cluster display: Advanced Road Sign  
Display symbol.  
The Advanced Road Sign Display system detects speed limits, overtaking restrictions and selected danger signs and informs the  
driver if the maximum permitted speed is exceeded.  
The Advanced Road Sign Display system uses a camera in the base of the interior mirror to detect standard road signs and informs the  
driver of any detected speed limits, overtaking restrictions and selected danger signs. Within the system limits, the Dynamic Road Sign  
Display of the Advanced Road Sign Display system also displays sub-plates, e.g. to indicate restrictions that apply only at certain times.  
In some cases, the system can also display the current speed limits on non-signposted routes.  
If the maximum permitted speed is exceeded, the speed warning function of the Advanced Road Sign Display system shows this  
visually on the instrument cluster display by a flashing speed limit detected by the system and, depending on setting, also issues an  
acoustic warning (→ Advanced Road Sign Display).  
Dynamic Road Sign Display  
On the instrument cluster display: displays of Dynamic Road  
Sign Display with detected sub-plate (illustration).  
After validation and evaluation of the information from the camera, the Infotainment system and the current vehicle data, the Dynamic  
Road Sign Display shows up to two valid road signs and one detected sub-plate, e.g. when wet → Fig. 2:  
1st position:  
The road sign that currently applies to the driver is shown on the left-hand side of the display, e.g. a speed limit of 130 km/h  
(80 mph).  
2nd position:  
A further road sign can be displayed in the second position, for example a danger sign.  
Sub-plate:  
A detected sub-plate, e.g. with time restrictions, is displayed under the valid road sign. Depending on equipment, the valid road  
sign is supplemented with the generic sub-plate in the head-up display.  
The display of danger signs is not available in all countries and the system may not be able to recognise all danger signs.  
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 Dynamic Road Sign Display are displayed on the instrument cluster display. Road signs may also be  
displayed in the Infotainment system, depending on the system installed in the vehicle.  
With some equipment levels, a display is also shown on the head-up display  
WARNING  
The Advanced Road Sign Display system is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the limits of  
the system. The Advanced Road Sign Display system therefore cannot recognise all road signs and may not react or may react with a  
delay or in an undesired way. Driving recommendations and traffic symbols displayed by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system may  
differ from the current traffic situation.  
Observe the system limits (→ Advanced Road Sign Display).  
Keep the navigation data up-to-date (→ Navigation).  
Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is always responsible for all driving tasks.
