Compass display
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the instrument cluster display shows the vehicle’s current direction of travel in short form, e.g.
NW for northwest, when the ignition is switched on.
The graphic compass display is also available when the Infotainment system is switched on and route guidance is not active.
Odometer displays
The odometer registers the total distance travelled by the vehicle.
The trip recorder (trip) shows the distance travelled in kilometres (miles) since the trip recorder was last reset.
1. Reset the trip recorder via the Infotainment system or via the Service menu (→ Service menu).
Radiator fan run-on
This display appears after the vehicle ignition has been switched off if the radiator fan is in after-run mode.
An after-run time of the radiator fan may be caused by the following:
—Exhaust gas treatment, e.g. during particulate filter regeneration.
—Active brake cooling after driving down hills.
—Dissipation of engine heat after vehicle operation under high loads, e.g. trailer towing.
Engine code
1. Open the Service menu (→ Service menu).
2. Select the Engine code menu option.
Telephone information
If a mobile telephone is connected via Bluetooth®, the Bluetooth symbol is shown in the digital instrument cluster .
In addition, the symbol shows the charge level of the mobile phone battery.
Selector lever position
The selector lever position is displayed on the side of the selector lever and in the digital instrument cluster.
The digital instrument cluster may show which gear has been selected if the selector lever is in D/S position or in Tiptronic mode
(→ Automatic gearbox).
Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and can therefore change automatically when
the user account is changed .
Suitably qualified workshops can program and modify other functions depending on the vehicle equipment level. Volkswagen
recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
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 notifications in the digital instrument cluster may be overridden by sudden events, e.g. incoming telephone calls.
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, some settings and displays may also appear in the Infotainment system.
The Digital Cockpit Basic is a digital instrument cluster in the Basic version with a high-resolution TFT colour display. Additional
content can be displayed by selecting different views, e.g. rev counter, and different displays in the main display area and secondary
display areas. The term “digital instrument cluster Basic” is used below to refer to the Digital Cockpit Basic.
