The warning and indicator lamps can light up individually or in combination and indicate warnings, faults or certain functions. Some

warning and indicator lamps light up when the ignition is switched on and should go out after a while.

You can find information on other indicator lamps, e.g. in switches or touch panels, in the respective chapters.

WARNING

Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic and can cause

accidents, serious injury and even death.

● Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.

● Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.

Due to ongoing vehicle enhancement, the listed warning and indicator lamps may differ in their appearance in the vehicle after

an update.

The multifunction display shows driving and fuel consumption data. Different driving data can be displayed depending on the vehicle

equipment level. The displayed driving data depends on the current driving behaviour, the vehicle condition, e.g. particulate filter

regeneration, and the current driving situation, e.g. urban driving. The driving data values are determined as average values over route

sections of varying length. This means that the currently displayed value may differ from the actual average value.

Service events are displayed on the digital instrument cluster and in the Infotainment system. The content of the displays can vary as

different versions of the instrument cluster and Infotainment system are available.

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 number of kilometres or amount of time shown correspond to the maximum number of kilometres or maximum 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

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.

Function conditions

The function is only activated at a speed above around 65 km/h (around 40 mph) and is then deactivated again at a speed below

60 km/h (around 37 mph).

WARNING

The Drowsiness Monitor is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the limits of the system. The

Drowsiness Monitor therefore may not detect that the driver is tired in all situations and may not warn or may warn with a delay or in

an undesired way. There is a risk of accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.

● Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is responsible at all times for their fitness to drive.

● Observe the system limits (→ Drowsiness Monitor).

● Never drive a vehicle when you are tired.

● During long trips, take regular and sufficient breaks.

● Follow the information in the instrument cluster display and respond according to the requests (→ Drowsiness Monitor).

The Drowsiness Monitor has system-related limitations. The following conditions can limit the function of the Drowsiness Monitor, or

prevent it from working altogether:

—Speeds below around 60 km/h (around 37 mph).

—Speeds above around 130 km/h (around 80 mph).

—Twisting roads.

—Poor roads.

—Adverse weather conditions.

—Road works.

—Sporty driving style.

—Towing a heavy or long trailer (→ Trailer towing).

—The driver is heavily distracted.

The Drowsiness Monitor has been developed for use only while driving on motorways and good main roads.

Microsleep

No urgent warning is issued for microsleep.

Resetting the Drowsiness Monitor

The Drowsiness Monitor is reset in the following situations:

—The ignition is switched off.

—The driver seat belt is unfastened and the driver door is open.

—The vehicle has been stationary for longer than around 30 minutes.

On the instrument cluster display: Advanced Road Sign

Display symbol.

The Advanced Road Sign Display system detects speed limits and overtaking restrictions 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 or overtaking restrictions. 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 → Warning levels of the speed warning function.

Sign Display with 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 three valid road signs with the accompanying sub-plates, depending on the display location → Fig. 2,

→ Fig. 3, → Fig. 4:

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 sub-plate sign can be shown in second position, e.g. 100 km/h (60 mph) “when wet”.

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.

3rd position:

A further road sign can be displayed in the third position, e.g. “overtaking not permitted at certain times”.

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.

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.

● Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is always responsible for all driving tasks.

● Road signs on the road and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and displays provided by the Dynamic Road

Sign Display system.

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

● Follow the information in the instrument cluster display and respond according to the requests (→ Advanced Road Sign Display).

The Advanced Road Sign Display has system-related limitations. The following conditions can limit the function of the Advanced Road

Sign Display system, or prevent it from working altogether:

—High ambient temperatures or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

—Poor visibility, e.g. in snowy conditions.

—Glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic or sunlight.

—High speeds.

—Dirty camera.

—Road signs located outside of the camera’s field of view.

—Partially or fully hidden road signs, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other vehicles.

—Non-standard road signs.

—Damaged or bent road signs.

—Variable road signs on gantries (changeable road sign display using LEDs or other light sources).

—Out-of-date map material in the Infotainment system.

—Vehicles with road sign stickers, e.g. speed restrictions on trucks.

The system partly uses the camera behind the windscreen. You can find further information in the section on sensors .

The system also uses navigation data even if the vehicle does not have a navigation system. Keep the navigation data up-to-

date (→ Navigation). If you have any questions, please contact a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using

an authorised Volkswagen repairer.

If the system detects that the maximum permitted speed has been exceeded, it 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. A warning is issued in two

warning levels.

On the instrument cluster display: detected violation of

maximum permitted speed (illustration).

Speed warning – Level 1

Violation of maximum permitted speed detected.

The speed limit detected by the system flashes continuously in the instrument cluster and, depending on equipment, in the head-up

display → Fig. 1.

Speed warning – Level 2

Progressive violation of maximum permitted speed detected.

An acoustic warning sounds. The speed limit detected by the system flashes continuously in the instrument cluster and, depending on

equipment, in the head-up display → Fig. 1.

The second warning level is triggered if the speed continues to increase above the speed limit.

The second warning level is cancelled again when the driver actively slows down.
