NOTICE

•

When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and over-loading

the engine.

The needle on the rev counter should only briefly tip into the red area. Damage to the

engine may otherwise be incurred.

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

Other instruments, such as the outside temperature display, can be shown in the screen of

the portable navigation device (delivered by Volkswagen) ⇒ Accessories, modifications, repairs and

renewal of parts.

Displays

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒

Introduction

Depending on the vehicle equipment level, a variety of information can be displayed in the

instrument cluster ⇒ Fig. 10② or ⇒ Fig. 11②:

•

Warning and information displays

Distance displays

Time

Outside temperature

Selector lever positions ⇒ Changing gear

Gear-change indicator (manual gearbox) ⇒ Changing gear

Multifunction display (MFD) ⇒ Volkswagen information system

Service interval display ⇒ Service interval display

Start/stop system status display ⇒ Pull-away assist systems

Fuel gauge ⇒ Filling the tank

Belt status display for the rear seats ⇒ Seat belts

Warning and information displays

The system checks certain components and functions in the vehicle when the ignition is switched

on or while the vehicle is in motion. Functional faults are indicated by warning symbols on the

instrument cluster display (⇒ Warning and indicator lamps). An acoustic warning is also given in

certain cases. Different instrument cluster designs will have different displays.

Distance displays

The odometer registers the total distance travelled by the car.

The trip recorder (trip) shows the distance travelled since the trip recorder was last reset. The final

digit shows distances of 100 m.

Outside temperature display

If the outside temperature falls below +4°C (+39°F), the display also shows a snowflake symbol (ice

warning). This symbol flashes and then remains constantly lit until the outside temperature rises

above +6°C (+43°F) ⇒

When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the temperature displayed may be

slightly higher than the actual outside temperature as a result of the heat radiated from the engine.

The measuring range lies between -40℃ (-40°F) and +50 ℃ (+122°F).

Selector lever positions

The chosen selector lever position is indicated by luminous lettering on the selector lever. In

position D the selected gear and the current position are shown in the instrument cluster display. In

position

(Tiptronic) only the selected gear is shown ⇒ Changing gear.

Gear-change indicator (manual gearbox)

While the vehicle is in motion, the instrument cluster may show which gear should be selected to

reduce fuel consumption ⇒ Changing gear.

Belt status display for the rear seats

Once the ignition has been switched on, the driver can see the belt status display in the instrument

cluster display and therefore can tell whether or not the rear passengers have fastened their seat

belts ⇒ Seat belts.

Start/stop system status display

The instrument cluster display shows information about the current status ⇒ Pull-away assist

systems.

WARNING

Failure to observe the warning lamps could lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and

to accidents and serious injuries.

•

Never ignore any warning lamps that are lit up.

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

Broken-down vehicles increase the risk of accidents, both for you and for other road users.

If necessary, switch on the hazard warning lights and set up the warning triangle to warn

other road users.

•

Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away from moving traffic and ensure that no part of the

exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable material underneath the

vehicle, e.g. dry grass or fuel.

WARNING

Streets and bridges can be iced over at outside temperatures above freezing point.

•

There may be black ice on the roads at outside temperatures above +4°C (+39°F) and

also when no snowflake symbol is displayed as a black ice warning.

•

You should never rely solely on the outside temperature display!

NOTICE

Failure to observe the illuminated indicator lamps could lead to the vehicle being damaged.

The design and content of displays may vary, as different instrument clusters are available.

If several warning reports are detected, the symbols will appear for several seconds, one

after another. The symbols will continue to appear until the faults are rectified.

Service interval display

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒

Introduction

The service display is shown on the instrument cluster ⇒ Fig. 10 or ⇒ Fig. 11②.

Service schedules at Volkswagen are divided into two categories, with oil change, e.g. interval

service, and without oil change, e.g. inspection service. This service interval display only provides

information on services that include oil change. The sticker on the door pillar of the vehicle and the

service schedule booklet provide information on all other services, for example, the next inspection

service or brake fluid service.

In vehicles with service dependent on the time/distance travelled, the service intervals are fixed.

Service

If a service is due, an acoustic signal will sound and a service reminder in text form

will

appear for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. Volkswagen recommends that the

scheduled service should be carried out within the next 100 km (approximately 62 miles).

Resetting the service interval display

If the service was not performed by a Volkswagen dealership, the display can be reset in the

instrument cluster as follows:

Switch off the ignition.

Press and hold the

Restart the ignition.

Release the

button.

button and press it again briefly within approximately 10 seconds.

Do not reset the service interval display between service intervals otherwise incorrect data may be

shown.

The service message will go out after a few seconds once the engine is running or when the

button in the windscreen wiper level ⇒ Fig. 12① is pressed.

If the vehicle battery is disconnected for long periods, the system will not be able to calculate

the time when the next service is due. The service displays could then display incorrect information.

If this is the case then please observe the maximum service intervals shown in ⇒BookletService

schedule,.

Volkswagen information system

Introduction

This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:

⇒ Using the displays in the instrument cluster

⇒ Multifunction display (MFD)

Various different displays can be accessed via the instrument cluster display once the ignition has

been switched on.

The scope of the displays in the instrument cluster depends on the vehicle electronics and the level

of vehicle equipment.

A qualified workshop can program and modify other functions depending on the vehicle equipment

level. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
