Dynamic Road Sign Display (Sign Assistyf
Fig. 19 On the instrument cluster display: examples of recognised speed limits or overtaking 
restrictions with accompanying additional signs.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Dynamic Road Sign Display uses a camera in the base of the interior mirror to monitor standard 
road signs in front of the vehicle and notifies the driver of any detected speed limits or overtaking 
restrictions. Within the limits of the system, the system also displays additional signs, e.g. 
temporary restrictions, signs related to towing a trailer ⇒ Trailer towing or restrictions in wet 
weather conditions. In some cases the system can also display the current speed limits on non-
signposted routes.
The intelligent technology used in the Driver Alert System cannot overcome the laws of 
physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Do not let the extra 
convenience afforded by the Driver Alert System tempt you into taking any risks when 
driving – this can cause accidents. During a long trip, plan regular and sufficient breaks.
•The driver is responsible at all times for their fitness to drive.
•Never drive a vehicle when you are tired.
•The system cannot always detect the driver's level of alertness. Observe the 
information in the section Function limitations ⇒ Function limitations.
•In certain situations, the system may wrongly interpret intentional driving manoeuvres 
as a lack of alertness from the driver.
•No urgent warning will be given in the event of the phenomenon known as microsleep.
•Follow the information on the instrument cluster display and respond according to the 
commands.

Fuel tank almost empty. Reserve volume, red marking ⇒ Fig. 20, is 
consumed ⇒ Fuel tank capacity.
Fill the tank as soon as possible ⇒ Fuel types and refuelling.
Water in fuel in vehicles with a diesel engine.
Reduce the vehicle speed immediately and drive to the nearest qualified 
workshop at a medium engine speed and avoiding high engine loading.
OR: if the warning lamp lights up immediately after filling the tank, switch off 
the engine and seek expert assistance.
When the indicator lamp  lights up, the auxiliary heater and the fuel-powered supplementary 
heater switch off automatically ⇒ Auxiliary heater and ventilation.
The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol in the fuel gauge shows you the side of the 
vehicle on which the tank flap is located.
Coolant temperature display
Fig. 21 In the instrument cluster: coolant temperature display (illustrationyf .
Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in 
traffic, potentially causing accidents and serious injuries.
•When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular, 
especially when driving up or down hills and inclines.
•The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems will not function if 
the engine sputters or stops completely due to a lack of fuel or irregular fuel supply.
•Always fill the tank when it is still 1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel 
and breaking down.
WARNING
Do not run the tank empty. Irregular filling periods can cause backfiring and allow unburnt 
fuel to enter the exhaust system. The catalytic converter or diesel particulate filter could be 
damaged as a result!

service is due (illustrationyf .
Fig. 23 In the Infotainment system: example of a display containing service information (illustrationyf .
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The service displays are shown on the instrument cluster ⇒ Fig. 22 and in the Infotainment system 
⇒ Fig. 23.
Versions and displays can vary as different versions of the instrument cluster and of the 
Infotainment system are available.
In vehicles with fixed oil change service, services take place at predefined intervals.
The service intervals are calculated on an individual basis in vehicles with flexible oil change 
service. Advances in technology have brought about a considerable reduction in servicing 
requirements. An oil change service need be carried out only when required by the vehicle. The 
individual conditions in which the vehicle is used, as well as the driver's personal driving style, are  
Page 25 of 341

taken into account. The service reminder is displayed 30 days before the service is due. The 
distance is rounded to the nearest 100 km; the remaining time is rounded to full days.
Service alert
If a service or inspection is due soon, a service alert will appear when 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
For a scheduled service or a scheduled 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. 22:
Inspection now!
Oil service now!
Oil service and inspection now!
Viewing service appointments
You can access the current service schedule when the ignition is switched on, the engine is not 
running, and the vehicle is stationary:
•Press and hold button  in the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster until the text 
Service appears in the display.
•Release the  button. Information on the current scheduled service will be shown in the 
display.
Service information ⇒ Fig. 23 can also be displayed in the Infotainment system by pressing the 
 button or function button and the Vehicle,  and Service function 
buttons ⇒ Operation and display in the Infotainment system.
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:
•Switch off the ignition.
•Press and hold the  button in the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster.
•Restart the ignition.
•Release button  if one of the following messages appears on the instrument cluster 
display:
Reset oil change service?
Reset inspection service?
•Press the  button on the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster to confirm.
Do not reset the service interval display between service intervals otherwise incorrect data may 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 windscreen wiper lever or the  button on the 
multifunction steering wheel is pressed ⇒ Instrument cluster operation.
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. If this is the case, please observe 
the maximum permissible service intervals ⇒ Service.
