Instruments
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Instrument overview
⇒ Displays
⇒ Service interval display
When the outside temperature is low, the display in the instrument cluster may take slightly longer
to appear than it does when the outside temperatures is higher.
Additional information and warnings:
\f
Page 12 of 211
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 milesyf .
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 button.
Restart the ignition.
Release the 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,.

⇒ Multifunction display (MFDyf
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.

Replacement key
You will need to quote the vehicle chassis number when ordering a replacement key or additional
remote control keys.
Every new key contains a microchip which must be encoded with the data for the vehicle's
electronic immobilizer. The vehicle key will not work if it is not fitted with a microchip, or if the
microchip has not been encoded. The same goes for keys that have been cut to fit the vehicle.
New keys or replacement keys are available from Volkswagen dealerships or from qualified
workshops and authorised key services that are qualified to manufacture these vehicle keys.
New and replacement vehicle keys must be synchronised before use. Proceed to a qualified
workshop.
Press the buttons on the key only if the corresponding function is actually needed. Pressing
a button when the function is not required could lead to the vehicle being unlocked unintentionally
or the alarm going off. This also applies even when you are not within the effective range.
The function of the vehicle key can be affected temporarily if there is more than one
transmitter in the direct vicinity working on the same frequency (e.g. a two-way radio or mobile
telephoneyf .
Obstacles between the key and the vehicle, bad weather conditions and weak batteries can
reduce the range of the remote control.
If the buttons on the vehicle key ⇒ Fig. 16 or one of the central locking buttons ⇒ Central
locking system are pressed repeatedly within a short period of time, the central locking system will
switch off briefly to prevent overloading. The vehicle will then be unlocked. Lock the vehicle if
necessary.

Seat belts
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Warning lamp
⇒ Frontal collisions and the laws of physics
⇒ What happens to vehicle occupants who have not fastened their seat belts
⇒ Seat belt protection
⇒ Using seat belts
⇒ Fastening and unfastening seat belts
⇒ Seat belt routing
⇒ Automatic belt retractor, belt tensioner, belt tension limiter
⇒ Service and disposal of belt tensioners
Check the condition of all seat belts regularly. If the belt webbing, belt connections, belt retractor or
seat belt buckle become damaged, the seat belt in question should be replaced immediately by a
qualified workshop ⇒. The qualified workshop must use correct spare parts that are compatible
with the vehicle, equipment level and model year. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen
dealership for this purpose.
Additional information and warnings:
\f
Page 47 of 211
The belt tensioners are activated by sensors during severe frontal, side and rear collisions. They
tighten the seat belts against the direction in which they are pulled. A loose seat belt is retracted,
which can reduce the forward movement or the movement of the vehicle occupants in the direction
of the impact. The belt tensioner works together with the airbag system. If the side airbags are not
activated, the belt tensioner will not be activated if the vehicle rolls over.
A fine dust may be produced when the airbags are triggered. This is quite normal and does not
mean that there is a fire in the vehicle.
Belt tension limiter
The belt tension limiter reduces the pressure exerted by the seat belt on the body during an
accident.
All safety requirements must be observed when the vehicle or components of the system are
scrapped. Qualified workshops are familiar with these requirements ⇒ Service and disposal of belt
tensioners.
Service and disposal of belt tensioners
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Seat belts may become damaged during any work on the belt tensioners or while removing or
refitting any vehicle parts in conjunction with any other repair work. This damage will not always be
noticeable. The consequence may be that the belt tensioners could function incorrectly, or not
function at all, in the event of an accident.
Regulations must be observed to ensure that the effectiveness of the belt tensioner is not reduced
and that removed parts do not cause any injuries or environmental pollution. Qualified workshops
are familiar with these requirements.
The airbag modules and belt tensioners may contain perchlorate. Please comply with
legislation regarding disposal.
Airbag system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Types of front passenger front airbag system
⇒ Indicator lamps
⇒ Description and function of the airbags
⇒ Front airbags
⇒ Switching the front passenger front airbag on and off manually using the key-operated switch
⇒ Side airbags
The vehicle is equipped with a front airbag for the driver and front passenger. The front airbags can
provide front seat occupants with additional chest and head protection if the seat, seat belts, head
restraints and, in the case of the driver, steering wheel are adjusted and used correctly. Airbags are
meant only for additional protection. The airbags are not a substitute for seat belts. Seat belts must
always be worn, even when the front seats are equipped with front airbags.
Additional information and warnings:
