Service interval display

Fig. 19 In the instrument cluster display: display example for a due service event (illustration).
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The service event displays are shown on the instrument cluster ⇒ Fig. 19  and in the Infotainment
system.
Versions and displays can vary as different versions of the instrument cluster and Infotainment
system are available.
In vehicles with fixed oil change service, services take place at predefined service intervals.

In vehicles with flexible oil change service, the service intervals are calculated on an individual basis.
Technical progress has made it possible to considerably reduce servicing requirements. An oil change
service must only be carried out when required by the vehicle. The individual conditions in which the
vehicle is used and the driver's personal driving style are taken into account. The service reminder is
displayed 30 days before the service is due. The distance is rounded to the nearest 100 km and the
remaining time is rounded to full days.
Service alert
If a service or inspection is due soon, a service alert will appear the next time the ignition is switched
on.
The number of kilometres or amount of time shown correspond to the maximum number of
kilometres or maximum time that can still be driven before the next service.
Service event
In the event of a due service or a due inspection, a signal tone will be given when the ignition is
switched on and the spanner symbol will be displayed for several seconds on the instrument
cluster display. One of the following displays will also appear ⇒ Fig. 19 :
Inspection now!
Oil service now!
Oil service and inspection now!
Checking service schedules
You can access the current scheduled service information when the ignition is switched on, the
engine is not running, and the vehicle is stationary:
Accessing the service schedule in the Infotainment system.
Press the button or function button.
Press the Vehicle and function buttons ⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays .
Select the Service menu option to display the service information.

Information on the scheduled service can be accessed only via the Service menu ⇒ Service menu .
Resetting the service interval display

If the service or the inspection was not performed by a Volkswagen dealership, the display can be
reset as follows:
Vehicles with analogue instrument cluster.
Switch off the ignition.
Press and hold the button in the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster .
Switch on the ignition again.
Release the button when one of the following messages appears on the instrument cluster
display: Reset oil service? or Reset inspection?.
Press the button on the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster  to confirm.
Vehicles with digital instrument cluster.
The service interval display can be reset only via the Service menu ⇒ Service menu .
Do not reset the service interval display between service intervals otherwise incorrect data will be
shown.
If the oil change service was manually reset, the service interval display then also changes to a fixed
service interval in vehicles with flexible oil change service.

The service message will disappear after a few seconds when the engine is running, or when the
button on the wiper lever or the button on the multifunction steering wheel is pressed
⇒ Operating the instrument cluster .

If the 12-volt vehicle battery was disconnected for 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. In this case, please observe the maximum
permissible service intervals ⇒ Service .
Operating the instrument cluster
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Operating using the wiper lever 
⇒ Operating using the multifunction steering wheel 
⇒ Button for driver assist systems 
Some menu options can be accessed only when the vehicle is stationary.

Display areas.
Arrow buttons for changing to the lap timer.
Opening the performance monitor
Press the MENU button or function button on the Infotainment system.
Touch the Vehicle function button.
Touch the Selection function button.
Touch the Sport function button.
If you would like to switch between the performance monitor and the lap timer ⇒ Lap timer , touch
one of the arrow buttons on the left and right above the instruments ⇒ Fig. 23  ②.
Selecting instruments and setting units
The display can show a maximum of three instruments at the same time. Each instrument can be
selected for each display area ⇒ Fig. 23  ① (left, middle, right).
To change between instruments, swipe vertically over the display. The currently selected instrument
will then disappear and a new instrument will appear.
The units can be adjusted for some instruments in the Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings
menu .
The following instruments can be displayed:
Charge pressure display: the charge pressure display ⇒ Fig. 23  ① (left) shows the pressure in the
charge air system between the turbocharger and engine (in the unit bar). The further to the right the
needle on the scale, the higher the engine power output.
Accelerometer (G-meter): the accelerometer (G-meter) ⇒ Fig. 23  ① (centre) shows the
acceleration value in the centre (in the unit g). The red marking in the grid-type area shows the
acceleration level and the direction of the acting force (in the opposite direction according to
physical laws). If you drive to the left, for example, the red marking will move in the right area of the
instrument (and vice versa). If you accelerate, the red marking will move down. If you brake, the red
marking will move up. The level of acceleration is indicated by the position of the red marking which
moves outwards. If the acceleration increases, the red marking will move away from the centre area.
Power display: the power display ⇒ Fig. 23  ① (right) shows the current engine power output as a
digital value and on the surrounding scale (in kW).
Coolant temperature display: the needle may move further in a clockwise direction under high
engine loads and with high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing ⇒ Coolant temperature display .
Oil temperature display: the needle is in the middle area under normal driving conditions. If the
needle is in the bottom left area, this means that the engine has not yet reached its operating
temperature. Avoid excessively high speeds and acceleration when the engine has not yet reached

its operating temperature. The needle may move further in a clockwise direction under high engine
loads and at high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless the indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing ⇒ Engine oil .
Adapting the display areas to the driving situation
Choose the three possible instruments corresponding to your individual driving style and the driving
situation.

WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. Operating the Infotainment system can
distract you from the road.
Always drive carefully and responsibly.

NOTICE
When starting from cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and over-loading the
engine.

Due to the principle of performance determination used in the vehicle, the physical accuracy of the
displayed values is not guaranteed.
Lap timer
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The lap timer provides you with the option of timing your own laps manually in the vehicle on a race
track, storing the times and comparing them with previously measured best times.

Checklist
Do not work on the engine and in the engine compartment unless you are familiar with the task, are
aware of the general safety procedures and have the correct equipment, service fluids and suitable
tools ⇒ In the engine compartment ! The work should be carried out by a qualified workshop if you
are uncertain. Make sure you check the following on a regular basis:

Washer fluid level Washer fluid

Engine oil level Engine oil

NOTICE
When pushing the vehicle by hand, do not press on the tail light clusters, the rear spoiler or large
panels. This could damage the vehicle and the rear spoiler could become detached.

The 12-volt vehicle battery will discharge if the hazard warning lights are left on over a long period of
time – even when the ignition is switched off.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the brake lights flash rapidly if you brake sharply or initiate full
braking at a speed of more than 80 km/h (50 mph). This is a particularly effective way of attracting
the attention of vehicles behind you. If you then continue to brake, the hazard warning lights will be
switched on automatically at speeds under approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). Once you start to
accelerate, the hazard warning lights will switch off again automatically.
Equipment for an emergency

Fig. 48 In the boot lid: holder for the warning triangle.
First-aid kit
Depending on the equipment, the first-aid kit may be located in a stowage compartment or holder in
the luggage compartment, under the luggage compartment floor or in the vehicle interior.
The first-aid kit must comply with legal requirements. Please note the expiry date of the contents.
After use, replace any of the contents as necessary and then stow the first-aid kit away again safely.
Warning triangle
Depending on the equipment, the warning triangle may be located in the boot lid. When the boot lid
is open, turn the lock of the holder ⇒ Fig. 48  by 90° anticlockwise in the direction of the arrow, open
the holder and remove the warning triangle.
The warning triangle must comply with legal requirements.
After use, return the warning triangle to its holder and lock it into place.
High-visibility waistcoat

Close and lock the boot lid and all vehicle doors when the vehicle is not in use. Ensure that no one
remains in the vehicle.
Never leave children playing unattended in or around the vehicle, especially when the boot lid is
open. Children could climb into the luggage compartment and shut the boot lid, thereby trapping
themselves inside. Temperatures inside a locked vehicle may become extremely hot or cold,
depending on the season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially in the
case of small children.

WARNING
Serious injuries could occur if the boot lid is unlocked or opened incorrectly or without due care and
attention.
The boot lid may not always be detected as being unlocked if there is a carrier and items attached to
it. The boot lid may open suddenly while the vehicle is in motion if it is unlocked.

WARNING
If heavy snow or heavy items are located on the boot lid, the additional weight could cause the boot
lid to close on its own and cause severe injuries.
Never open the boot lid if it is covered by a large amount of snow or a load is attached to it, e.g. on a
luggage carrier.
Remove the snow or load before opening the boot lid.

WARNING
Do not push down the boot lid with your hand on the rear window. The rear window could shatter
and cause injuries.

NOTICE
Never use the opening mechanism to fix or hold a load. This could lead to damage that makes it
impossible to close the boot lid.

NOTICE
Never use the rear window wiper or the rear spoiler to fix or hold a load. This could cause damage
which results in the rear window wiper or rear spoiler being torn off.
