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! 
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

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

@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

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

If this  is the  case, please heed  the maximum per
missible service intervals  listed in the ==>Book-

Swallowing batteries with a diameter of 
20 mm or other lithium batteries can result in 
severe or even fatal injuries within a very 
short period of time.

batteries, spare batteries, round cells and 
other batteries that are larger than 20 mm out 
of the reach of children.

~"iDANGER '(ContinUed) . 
• 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.
