Get Instrument cluster Guide for Volkswagen Tayron SUV First Generation (2018-2025)

The vehicle is equipped with a digital instrument cluster. The instrument cluster displays basic information such as speed.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the following functions may also be available:

—Various menus, e.g. for driver assist systems.

—Status displays for driver assist systems.

—Display messages.

—Warning and indicator lamps.

—Information on consumption and range.

The content can be individually customised and settings adjusted in the menus.

WARNING

Operating the instrument cluster and Infotainment system can distract you from the road. If the driver is distracted when driving, this

can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

● Drive with your full attention and with responsibility.

● Never operate the instrument cluster while the vehicle is in motion.

● Adjust all settings in the instrument cluster and Infotainment system only when the vehicle is stationary.

WARNING

The display may be switched off if there is a serious fault in the instrument cluster. The red central warning lamp may also light up.

Warnings can no longer be displayed. This can lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic and can cause accidents, serious injuries

and even death.

● Stop the vehicle in a safe place.

● Seek expert assistance.

When you start the engine after the 12-volt vehicle battery has been totally discharged, replaced or after a jump start, you may

find that system settings, such as personal convenience settings and programming, have been changed or deleted. Check and

correct the settings as necessary once the 12-volt vehicle battery has been sufficiently charged.

At cold outside temperatures, the display in the instrument cluster may take slightly longer to appear than at warm outside

temperatures.

The Digital Cockpit Pro is a digital instrument cluster in the Pro version with a high-resolution TFT colour display. In addition to the

standard round instruments such as the rev counter, users can also choose from various secondary displays to view additional data. The

term “digital instrument cluster Pro” is used below to refer to the Digital Cockpit Pro.

Destination information

When route guidance is active, the Destination information secondary display shows the expected journey time and the distance to

the destination in km or miles.

Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and can therefore change automatically when

the user account is changed .

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 start of the red zone on the rev counter indicates the maximum engine speed that may be used in all positions when the engine is

warm and after it has been run in properly.

You should change up a position, set the driving mode selector to D/S position or lift your foot off the accelerator before the needle

reaches the red zone.

NOTICE

The needle on the rev counter should only briefly point into the red area, as engine damage may otherwise be incurred. Heavy loads

on the engine, particularly when the engine is cold, can cause engine damage.

● When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, strong acceleration and high engine loads.

Changing up a gear early will help to save fuel and reduce engine noise.

In the digital instrument cluster: fuel gauge (illustration).

The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol in the fuel gauge shows you the side of the vehicle on which the tank flap is

located.

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

The head-up display (HUD) can be switched on and off in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system.

The multifunction display shows driving and fuel consumption data, e.g. driving time, distance travelled. The secondary display area

can show the driving data in a variety of ways .

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 digital 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 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

—Please have your vehicle inspected.

—Oil change service due!

—Oil change service and inspection due!

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.
