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.

2 -Multi function indicator *
In addition to the time display, the multi­
function indicator (MFI) gives a whole range
of additional information:
• Driving time
• Distance driven
• Average speed
• Average fuel consumption
• Engine oil temperature
•
Ambient temperature
The function currently switched on -
with the exception of the time -is indicated by a
triangle on the top or bottom edge which
points to the appropriate symbol for
example the average fuel consumption
is shown in the illustration.
By repeatedly pressing button B in the
windscreen wiper lever with the ignition
switched on, the additional information is displayed, starting with the time.
If the button B
is pressed for longer than 1
sec., the function being displayed at that
time will change over automatically to the
time display.
The memories
The system is equipped with two automatic

memories:

A single journey memory collects the

following data from the time the ignition is
switched on to when it is switched off. Driv­

ing time, distance covered and fuel used.

From this data the average driving speed

and the average consumption
is worked

out.

If the journey is resumed within two hours

of switching off the ignition, the new figures

are automatically included in the calcula­

tion. If the journey is interrupted for more

than two hours, the stored information is
automatically erased.

A total journey memory stores the data

from any number of individual Journeys up

to a total of 100 hours driving time, a dis­

tance of 10000 km (6214 miles)
and 1000

litres (220 gallons) of fuel consumed. This

data
is only used to work out the consump­

tion and speed averages for all the individual

journeys.

If one of the given figures
is exceeded, the
memory is erased and calculation starts

from the beginning again. Contrary to the

single Journey memory, this
memory is not

erased after a journey pause of more than

two hours.

If t
he battery is discon nected for any rea­son, the stored information is automaticall y
erased .
The displays
No symbol -Time
The time is shown even when the ignitio n
i s switched off.
The time can be set with the butt ons (h and min) on right below the rev count er -see
"Dig ita l Clock" page 41
G -Driving time
In switch position 1 the driving time
which has elapsed since ig nition was
switc hed on or the memory cance lled is indica ted -see previous page also "Single
j o urney memo ry"
In switch position 2 the total driv ing time for all IndiVidual jo urneys is ind icated­see previous page also " T otal journey mem­
ory"
The maximum time in both sw itch positions is 99 hours 59 minutes. When thi s figure is exceeded the indicatio n starts at zero again.
km -Distance covered
The remarks made under "Dri ving time" also aoply in principle to "Dist ance cov­
ered" 'T he maxim um distance indicated is
9999 km or 6214 miles.
km/h -Average speed
Afte r swi tching on the ignitio n or eras ing
the memory being used, the average speed is in d ic ated after a dista nce of about 100 m . Up to th is point a dash appea rs instead of a
figure.
In switch position 1 the ave rage speed
for the current single journe y is ind icated.
In switch position 2 the average speed
indicated is tha t achieved during all single
j ourneys -see prev ious page "total jou rne y

Itr./100 km -Average fuel
consumption
It is the ave rage fuel cons umption which is in dicated and not the momentary consump­
t ion at the time of reading. In principle the
remarks made under "average speed" also
apply here.
Note
The amount of fuel used is not indicated.

~DC _ Engine oil temperature
Oil temperatures (within a range of + 50°C
to 160 °C) are shown. When no oil tempera­
ture indication is sho wn, the eng ine is still
not warm, and it should not therefore be worked hard . The engine speed should be reduced if the oil temperature rises to + 145°C.
,I,.e·DC'1' -Ambient temperature)2)
The measuring range is from -40°C to
+ 50°C. When the vehicle is stationary or
only moving very slowly , the ind ic at ed tem­
perature could be slightly higher than the
actual ambient temperature due to heat
radiation from the engine.
A fter switching off the ignition the last indi­
cated temperature
is sto red in memory for
about 45 minutes . If the ig nition is switched on after 45 minutes or the vehicle is moved at about 30 km/h with in the 45 minute
period, a new up-to-date temperature w ill
be displayed.
Attention
If the ambient temperature read­
ing is used as an ice warning, re­
member that ice can form on the
road at temperatures above O°C.

The automatic regulation of the sys­tem can be influenced by the but­tons 9 -14.
Recommended standard setting for

all times of the year:

Temperature about 22 degrees C (72
degrees F) and AUTO button.

With this setting a pleasant climate in the
vehicle is reached most quickly
This setting should therefore only be alt ered
when required for personal comfort.
Using the system
When ignition has been swi tc hed on the
system normally works in the Automatic
mode. Items 1, 2, 6 and 7 appear in the dis­play.
The Clim atronic maintains the selected ve­hicle interior temperature fully automati­
cally.
To do this temperature of the air flow as well as the blower speed (air volume) and air dis­
tribution are altered automat ically.
If the settings deviate d fr om Automatic
operation before the ignition is switched off
the selected functions are stored for one hour. If ignition is switched on again later the
system works in the Automatic mode.
The layout of the air vents is show n on page 60.

r Notes on Automatic mode
• The interior temperature can be freely
s e lected w ith buttons 16 and 17 and is S ored alw ays until another temperature is selected , -he interior temperature can be set be­
-we an + 18°C (64°F) and + 29°C (86°F) In th iS range it is automatically regulated,
f tempe ratures below 18°C are selected
LO" appears in the display , With tempera­
-res abo ve 29 °C (86 ° Fl. "HI " is displayed ,
., these two end positions the system
N or ks continuous ly at ma ximum cooling or
n eating output. The temperatu re is not
r egulated
•
In certain operating con ditions it may be fo und that the syste m temporarily carries
o ut functions which are not quite as ex­
5-pe cted, This includes, for examp le, that for
a few seconds after sta rting from cold, air is directed mainly into the fo ot wel l. This is ntentional so that damp air in the sys tem
d oes not cause the windo ws to mist up ,
Deviating from Automatic mode
In nearly all cases the Automatic mode
offers the best conditions for the comfort of
the vehicle occupants all the year round,
I n isolated cases however it might
be necessary to deviate from some functions
of Automatic mode by pressing certain but­
tons, The Climatronic still works fu lly auto­
matically
• With buttons 9 and 10 the blo w er speed
and thus the air vo lume can be increased or
r educed, Th is is sho wn by a change in the
number of lin es in display field 1
• With
bu tton 11 the de-humidifying and defrosting effect for the windsc reen can be
increased if, for example persons w ith
damp clothing
are picked-up shortly after
moving off,
• W ith button
12 air recircu lation can be
se lected to pre vent for examp le dust or
st rong smells
from entering the vehicle in­
terio
r. At ambient temperatures below 5cC the sy ste m auto mat icall y sw itches off, This can lead to the window misting u p as t he air is no longer de-humidi­fied.
Note
Smoking should be avoided when air recir­culation is selected as t h e smoke drawn in from the vehicle interior deposits on the
evaporator of the air conditioner, This leads
to permanent odours when the air condition
is in operation These can only be efiminated b
y e xchanging the evaporator, which is
time-consuming
and expensive.
• With buttons
13 and 14 the air flow can
be to the upper part of the body or into the
footwe ll,
The air distribution buttons 11, 13 and 14
can be used in combination ,

• With button
18 (OFF) the complete sys­

tem is sw itched off, This button should only

be pre ssed in isol ated cases eg when

the re is a fault in the system .

Wh en th e sp ecial functions are no longer re­
quired the Automatic mode should be

s w itch ed on again without delay by pres­

sin g the AUTO button,

Operating instructions
• Ensure that the sensor betvveen the
windscreen defrost outlets in the centre of
the instrument panel and the air grille next
to the radio is not covered.
• If, after switching on the ignition,
all sym­
bols in the display area flash for about 15
seconds, there is a fault in the system -con­
tact a Volkswagen dealer.
Notes for both air conditioning
systems
• To ensure that the heating, ventilation
and air conditioner can work properly, the air
inlet in front of the windscreen should be
kept free of ice, snow and leaves.
• The heat output depends
on the coolant
temperature -the full heat output is there­
fore available when the engine IS warm.
• The stale air escapes through openings
in the luggage compartment side panels.
Therefore when loading the luggage com­
partment ensure that the openings are not
covered .
• When the ambient temperature
is high
and the air very humid, condensed water can drip off the evaporator and form a
puddle under the vehicle. This is quite nor­
mal and does not indicate a leak.
Notes for the normal air condi­
tioner
• All controls except the rotar y switch A and buttons 0 and E can be set to any inter­
mediate position.
•
To prevent the windows from misting up
the blower should be running slowly when driving at low speeds.
Using air conditioners economi­
cally
In cooling operation the air conditioner com­
pressor places demands on the engine and
therefo re influences the fuel consumption.
To keep the period switched on as short as possible, the following points should be
noted:
• If the
in side temperature is very high
after the car has been parked in the sun, it is recommended to open doors or windows briefly to enable the hot air to escape
• The air conditioner should not be
switched on during a Journey if the
windows or sliding/tilting roof* are open.
• If the desired interior temperature
can be attained w ithout switching on the air
cond itioner the fresh air operation should
be selected (does not apply to Climatronicl.
Operating faults
• Should the air cond i:ioner not work at
any time, either .
- the ambient temperatu re IS below about +5 °C,
-or the fuse has blown.

Check fuse and if necessary r
enew it - see

page 119. If the troub le is n ot due to a defec­

tive fuse, SWitch the system off and have It
checked.

- the air conditioner
has svvitched off due

to coolant temperature being too high -see
page 45.
• If the cooling output drops off, switch
the AlC
off and have the system checked.
