1 -Service interval display
The display appears after switching on the
ignition (engine not started) for a few sec­
onds in place of the mileage recorder in speedometer. If no service is necessary IN 00 will be displayed.
If a service is due,
the following appears in the display for a few seconds even after
starting the engine
• 0
E: L - Engine oil change
• :n 0 : -Inspection service
• : n 02 -I nspection service with addi­
tional work After a service has been carried out, each
service must be called up individually and
the display zeroed . If for instance the in­
spection service
IN 02 with oil change is car­
ried out, the OEL, IN 01 and IN 02 must be
zeroed . The zeroing will be carried out by
the Volkswagen dealer
as follows : •
The zeroing of the service interval dis­
play should only be carried out
in "total" mileage recorder mode. If the service inter­val display is zeroed in the "trip" recorder
mode the trip recorder can be erased .
•
With the ignition switched off, press and
hold the button below the speedometer
(left arrow)
• Switch
off ignition and release button.
The word OEL can be seen in the display By briefly pressing the button for adjusting the analog clock (right arrow) or the minute but­
ton of the digital clock will zero the service.
•
By again pressing the button below the
speedometer the other services will be dis­
played and can be cancelled
individually
• Switch on ignition.
Notes
• Do not zero the display between the ser­
vice intervals -otherwise an incorrect read­
ing will be shown.
• If the battery
is disconnected the details in the service display are retained.
• If a defective speedometer is replaced,
the service interval display
must be repro­
grammed This should be carried out by a Volkswagen dealer. Should the display not
be reprogrammed , then the service work must be carried out in accordance with the Service Schedule and not according to the
service display. The service display only be­
comes valid again after
an inspect ion IN 02 is carried out and the service display is zeroed.

Heating and ventilation
The normal heating and ventilation system
described below can be supplemented by an automatic heating regulation (Thermo­tronic)*.
With the Thermotronic* the desired in­
terior temperature is attained as quickl y as possib le and held co nstant. Outs ide and in­
s id e temperat ure sensors measure the ex­
isting temperatures continu ously and pass
the
value s to an e lec tron ic contr ol unit which then alter s the warm air tempera tur e
accordingly. Strong sunshine is also taken
into account by the system.
The "The
rmotronic" makes regulation of
th e heating by hand unneces sary.
Controls
Rotary switch A -Blower and air supply and air conditioner* cut-off
The air flow can be regulated in four stages.
Between positions 1 and 0 the fresh air sup­

p ly can be regulated without blower assist­

ance .

In position 0, air supp ly and blower are off.

Thi s can prevent unclean air from outside

from enteri ng the vehicle . However, as the
windows could th en mist ove r, th e a ir sup­

ply shou ld on ly be switched off briefly.

Normal heating and ventilation

On vehic les with a fresh air filt
er* this is onl y

necessary for a gas type pollution . Du st,

pollen etc.
will be held back by the filter.

Air conditioner*
-'le air conditioner is available as a normal :r fu lly automatic system (Climatronic*)
'le air conditioner in both cases is a com­
u ne d cooling and heating system which
c " ers maximum comfort at all seasons of "18 year.

h e air conditioner
works only when the en­
gine is running, the ambient temperature is
,:move about + 5°C and the blower speed is
cetween 1 and 4.

. 'hen air conditione r is switched on it re­
d uc es not only the temperature inside the
. e hicle but also the air humidity When the .ambient air humidity is high this not only
a kes the vehicle occupants feel more
_ o m fortable but also prevents the
windows
c ~rom steaming up.
Ni th
the Climatronic* the selected ve­Icle interior temperature is maintained fully
a u tomatically. This is done by automatically
. I a rying the temperature of the air from the "e nts, the blower speed (air volume) and meair distribution.
Notes
• The operation of the normal air conditioner* is described on pages 59 -61. • The differences for the Climatronic* are given on pages 62 and 63.
Controls
Rotary switch A -Blower and air supply and air conditioner cut-off
The air flow can be regulated in four stages.
In position 0, the blower and air conditioner
are switched off. If contaminated air should
be prevented from entering the vehicle in­
terior, button E (air recirculation) should be
pressed.
On vehicles
with a fresh airfilter' this is only
necessary for a gas type pollution. Dust,
pollen etc. will be held back by the filter.

recirculation mode should not be se­lected for long periods of time as no fresh air is then supplied.
Note
Smoking should be avoided w hen air recir­
culation is selected , as the smoke drawn in from the vehicle interior deposits on the
evaporator of the air conditioner. This leads
to permanent odours when the air condi­
tioner is i n operation. These can only be
eliminated by exchanging the evaporator,
which is time-consuming and expensive.
