A WARNING l
Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps
and text messages can lead to your vehicle
breaking down in traffic, and can cause acci­
dent and serious injury.
• Never ignore any illuminated warning
lamps or text messages.
• 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 trian­
gle 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.
~A WARNING
Streets and bridges can be iced over at out­
side 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 out­
side temperature display!
Failure to observe illuminated indicator lamps
and text messages can lead to your vehicle be­
ing damaged.
m Di~erent instrument cluste~s are available ,
L!J wh1ch means that the vers1ons and displays
may vary.
In displays without warning or informa­
tion texts , faults are indicated exclusively
by the in­
dicator la mps.

Service
If a service is due, an acoustic signal will sound
and the spanner symbol _.c with the message
Service now! will appear for a few seconds in
the instrument cluster display when the ignition is
switched on. ==>Fig. 14 B.
Accessing a service message
You can access the current service message when
the ignition is switched on, the engine is not run­
ning ,
and the vehicle is stationary:
• Press and hold button ==>Fig . 12 @ until the
word Service appears in the display.
•
Release the button . The current service mes­
sage will be shown in the display.
Service information ==>Fig. 15 can also be dis­
played in the infotainment system by pressing the
@ill button and the ~ and [Serv ice ) function buttons
==>page 31.
Resetting the service interval display
If the service was not performed by a Volkswagen
workshop, the display can be reset as follows: •
Switch
off the ignition and press and hold but­
ton ==>Fig. 12 @.
• Switch on the ignition .
• Release button @ and then press it again to
reset the service
interval display.
m The service message will disappear after a
W few seconds, when the engine is running , or
when the OK/RESET button on the windscreen wiper
lever or the OK button on the multifunction steering
wheel is pressed.
m If the vehicle battery was disconnected for
W long periods in vehicles with flexible service,
the system cannot
calculate the time at which the
next service is due. The information shown in the
service interval display may therefore be incorrect.
If this is the case, please heed the maximum per­
missible service intervals listed in the ==>Book-
let Service Schedule. I --

• Call for medical help immediately you sus­
pect that someone has swallowed a battery.
A WARNING . .,~
Improper or unsupervised use of the vehicle
key can cause accidents or injuries.
• Always take all vehicle keys with you ev­
ery time you leave the vehicle. Children or
unauthorised persons could lock the doors
and tailgate, start the engine or switch on the
ignition and thus operate electrical equip­
ment, such as the electric windows.
• Never leave children or people requiring
assistance alone in the vehicle. They could
become trapped in the vehicle in an emergen­
cy and may not be able to get themselves to
safety. Depending on the time of year, for ex­
ample, locked vehicles can be subjected to
very high or very low temperatures. This can
cause serious injuries and illness or fatali­
ties, especially for small children.
• Never remove the vehicle key from the ig­
nition Jock when the vehicle is in motion. The
steering Jock may be activated and you will
no longer be able to steer the vehicle. Fig. 23 Vehicle ke y w ith alarm butto n
