Instrument explanations to fig. 11:
(1) Speedometer
(2) Tachometer (shows engine revolutions per minute in thousands, when the engine is running).
The red zone at the end of the scale indicates maximum permissible engine rpm (revolutions per minute) for all gears after the break-in period. Before reaching this region, select the next
higher selector level position (D), or ease your foot off the accelerator ⇒ .
(3) Displays
(4) Reset button for the trip odometer display (trip) and button to display the engine code.
– Push and hold the 0.0 button about 1 second in order to reset to zero.
– Push the 0.0 button again and hold it for about 3 seconds to display the previous value.
– Push and hold the 0.0 button for more than 10 seconds to display the vehicle's engine code. You must do this when the ignition is on, but the engine is not running.
(5) Fuel gauge
(6) Engine coolant temperature display.
NOTICE
x To help prevent engine damage, always avoid high engine speeds, full throttle acceleration and heavy engine loads when the engine is cold.
x To help prevent engine damage, the tachometer needle should only enter the red zone (warning zone) briefly.
Up-shifting early into the next higher gear saves fuel and reduces engine noise.
Applicable only in Canada

Switching the “Coming home” and “Leaving home” features on and off
The “Coming home” feature must be switched on manually. The “Leaving home” feature is automatically controlled by a low-light sensor.
“Coming home” Action
Switch on: – Switch off the ignition.
– Operate the headlight flasher for about 1 second ⇒ page 119.
Opening the driver door switches on the “Coming home” feature. The delay period starts when the last vehicle door or the rear hatch is closed. The “Coming home” lighting is switched on when the driver door is open, the headlight switch is set to AUTO, and the low light sensor detects darkness. The delay period starts once the last vehicle door or the rear hatch is closed.
Switch off: – Automatically after the preset delay period is over.
– Automatically if any door or the rear hatch is still open about 60 seconds after activation.
– Turn the light switch to the / position.
– Switch on the ignition.
“Leaving home” Action
Switch on: – Unlock the vehicle when the light switch is not in the / position and the low-light sensor registers darkness. Unlock the vehicle if the light switch is in the AUTO position and the low-light sensor registers darkness.
Switch off: – Automatically after the preset delay period is over.

The correct tire inflation pressure for factory-installed tires is listed on a label. The factory-installed
tires may be summer, winter, or all-season tires. The label ⇒ fig. 113 is on the driver door jamb.
Under- or over-inflation significantly shortens the service life of your tires and affects the handling of
the vehicle ⇒ . The correct tire pressure is very important, particularly when the vehicle is driven at higher speeds. Incorrect tire pressure causes increased wear and even sudden tire failure and blowouts.
Therefore tire pressure should be checked at least once a month and always before long trips.
The specified tire inflation pressure applies to a cold tire. When tires are warm, the pressure will be higher than when the tires are cold.
Do not reduce the tire pressure on warm tires to match the required cold tire inflation pressure. The tire inflation pressure would then be too low and could cause sudden tire failure and blowout.
Checking tire inflation pressure
Always check the tire pressure on “cold” tires when the vehicle has not been driven more than a couple of miles (kilometers) at low speed within the last 3 hours.
x Check tire inflation pressure regularly and on cold tires. Check all the tires, including the collapsible spare (if any). In colder climates tire pressure should be checked more often, but only when the tires are cold. Always use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
x After adjusting the tire inflation pressures, make sure to screw the valve caps back on, replace missing valve caps immediately. Please read and heed the information on resetting the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System if necessary ⇒ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
x Remember that the vehicle manufacturer, not the tire manufacturer, determines the correct tire pressure for the tires on your vehicle. Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure listed on the tire sidewall for any reason.
Inflate the spare wheel to the pressure specified for the vehicle's road wheels on the tire pressure label; inflate a compact spare wheel to the pressure specified for the compact spare on the tire pressure label or on a separate label for the compact spare, if there is one.
WARNING
Incorrect tire pressure can cause a sudden tire failure, or blowout, loss of control, collision, serious personal injury, and even death.
x Always inflate tires to the recommended and correct cold tire pressure before driving off.
x Low tire pressure can cause tires to get too hot, resulting in tread separation, sudden loss of pressure, and blowouts. Tires with excessively low pressure flex (bend) more, which can cause the tire to overheat and fail suddenly without warning.
x Excessive speed and/or overloading can cause heat buildup, sudden tire failure including a blowout and sudden deflation and loss of control.
x If the tire pressure is too low or too high, the tires will wear prematurely and the vehicle will not handle well.
x Regularly check tire inflation pressure, at least once a month, and also especially before a long trip.
x Check the pressure in all 4 tires when the tires are still cold. Never reduce air pressure in warm tires to match cold tire inflation pressure.
NOTICE
x Make sure not to jam the tire pressure gauge into the valve stem. Otherwise you can damage the tire valves and the tire inflation pressure sensors.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System is configured at the factory with the correct tire inflation pressure applicable for the vehicle model, engine and factory-installed tires. This tire inflation
pressure is also listed on the sticker inside the driver door jamb ⇒ Tire inflation pressure. The tire inflation pressure are listed for all tires and the collapsible spare tire. In the event of a discrepancy between the above figures and the tire pressures listed on the tire inflation pressure label, the pressures listed on the label are the ones you should use. If different tires are installed, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System cannot properly monitor tire inflation pressures unless the TPMS is
reset to the new tire pressures ⇒ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities have the necessary special tools and must reset the TPMS for the new tires on your vehicle.
