Current consump-
tion
Current fuel consumption in miles per gallon
(l/100 km) while driving. When units are set to
miles, dashes appear instead of a number when
the engine is running and the vehicle is standing
still. When units are set to kilometers, the display
shows liters consumed per hour when the engine
is running and the vehicle is standing still.

Submenu Function
Average consump-
tion
Average fuel consumption in miles per gallon
(l/100 km) on trips per trip memories is displayed
once the vehicle has been driven about 330 feet
(100 m). Until then, dashes appear instead of a
number. The value displayed is updated every 5
seconds.
Range Estimated distance in miles (km) that the vehicle
can go with the fuel left in the tank the way you
are currently driving. Takes account of the cur-
rent fuel consumption, among other things.
Distance Distance driven in miles (km) from the time the
ignition was switched on.
Average speed The average speed is displayed after the ignition
is switched on and the vehicle has been driven
about 300 feet (100 m). Up to this point, dashes
appear instead of a number. The value displayed
is updated every 5 seconds.
AdBlue
This display appears when the AdBlue fuel range
falls to about 1500 miles (2400 km) and then

NOTICE
The door handle sensor surfaces can be activated by a strong stream of water or steam if a valid vehicle key is within range of the vehicle. All windows may open if you turn the spray of water or steam away from and then back onto the door handle sensor surface in quick succes-sion.
The door may not open if the outside and inside door handles are used at the same time.
If the automatic transmission is not in Park (P) position, the electronic steering column lock will not lock and the vehicle will not lock via sensors in the front door handles or the remote control vehicle key.
If the vehicle battery or the battery in the remote control vehicle key is weak or dead, it might not be possible to unlock and lock the vehicle using Keyless Access The vehicle can still be manually
locked or unlocked with the emergency key ⇒  Opening and closing.
The driver message Key not in range appears in the instrument cluster display if there is no remote control vehicle key inside the vehicle or if the system does not recognize the remote control vehicle key. The key may not be recognized, for example, if it is covered by something that interferes with the signal (such as a briefcase), or if the remote control vehicle key battery is weak. Electronic devices such as mobile phones can also interfere with the signal.
Dirt on the door handles that contains a lot of salt (especially in winter) can affect the way the
door handle sensors work. Cleaning the door handles can help with this problem ⇒  Exterior care and cleaning.
Anti-theft alarm system

When the ignition is switched on, several warning and indicator lights come on briefly for a function check. They go out after a few seconds.
If a door is not closed properly, the  warning light in the instrument cluster comes on showing an open door.
Depending on vehicle options, a symbol may be displayed in the instrument cluster instead of the warning light. The symbol will still be displayed even after the ignition is switched off. The instrument cluster display goes out about 15 seconds after the vehicle has been locked.

WARNING
Improper use of electrical seat controls can cause serious personal injuries.
x The front seats in your vehicle can be electrically adjusted even when the vehicle key has been removed from the ignition or, on a vehicle with Keyless Access, even if there is no key in the vehicle.
x Never leave children and persons who need help in the vehicle alone because the unsu-pervised use of the electric seat adjustments can result in serious personal injury.
x Always make sure that no one is in the way while the front seats are being adjusted, or while calling up the stored memory settings for the front seats. In an emergency, stop auto-matic seat adjustment by pressing a seat adjustment switch.
NOTICE
To help prevent damage to electrical and pneumatic parts in the seats, do not kneel on the front seats or apply concentrated pressure to a small area of the seat or backrest.
If the vehicle battery is too weak, the electrical seat adjustment controls may not work.
Starting the engine stops seat adjustment.
When entering and exiting the vehicle, be careful not to come into contact with any switches that could change the seat adjustment.

(3) Switching high beams on ⇒ . The indicator light  comes on in the instrument cluster when the high beams are switched on.
(4) Switching the high beams off and operating the headlight flasher. The headlight flasher turns on the high beams as long as the lever is pulled and manually held in the pulled position. The indi-cator light  lights up. When released, the lever moves back to the home position and turns off the high beams. The indicator light  goes out.
Move the lever back to the home position to turn the feature off.
Convenience turn signal (lane change feature)
To use the convenience turn signal feature, move the lever up or down slightly, just to the point of resistance and then release it. If you have the convenience turn signal (Conv. turn sig.) switched on, the turn signals and the turn signal indicator flash 3 times. If it is switched off, they flash as long as you hold the lever up or down, and go out when you release the lever.

x The tread depth of new tires can differ between tire models and manufacturers because of different design features and tread design.
Replacing tires
x Tires should be replaced in pairs and not individually (both front tires or both rear tires at the same
time) ⇒ .
x Replace tires only with tires that have the same specifications, including width and diameter, load and top speed rating as the tires approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle and model.
x Never use tires that are larger or wider than the dimensions of the tires approved by Volkswagen for your vehicle and model. Larger tires could scrape and rub on the vehicle body or other parts of the vehicle.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) considerations
Factory-installed wheels are equipped with a sensor that constantly monitors tire pressure, then
transmits this information to the TPMS ⇒  Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). If you are going to replace the wheels, make sure that the new wheels also have sensors that are compatible with the TPMS on your vehicle. New wheels with sensors have to be recognized and integrated into the sys-tem. The new wheels and sensors are recognized and integrated when driving off the first time.
If you install wheels that do not have sensors, or have sensors that are not compatible, the TPMS will not work properly. In this case, the TPMS will not be able to monitor tire pressure or warn you if pres-sure is low. An error message may appear in the instrument cluster display or the TPMS will switch itself off.
x Whenever you change sensors, you have to install new valves and seals. Please see an author-ized Volkswagen dealer of an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
x Always drive with the valve caps securely installed. We recommend using factory-supplied valve caps. Ask an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility to replace lost caps.
If you install new tires that differ the original Volkswagen specifications, for your vehicle and model, the benchmark tire inflation pressure values stored in your vehicle's TPMS may have to be adjusted (reprogrammed). This requires professional assistance. For more information, contact your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Installing replacement tires with steel cord body plies in the tire sidewall may cause malfunction of the TPMS, and is not recommended (cord material information in molded on the tire sidewall).
Always check the TPMS indicator light after replacing one or more tires on your vehicle. If the indicator light is on, the TPMS is not working properly. Your replacement tire might be incompatible with the system, or some component of the TPMS may be damaged.
For detailed information about TPMS, how it works and what you need to know ⇒  Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
WARNING
New tires tend to be slippery and must be broken in.
x Always drive with special care for the first 350 miles (560 km) to help reduce the risk of losing control, a collision, and serious personal injuries.
