WARNING
Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause the vehicle to
break down in traffic and result in a collision and serious personal injury.
x Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
x Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
x Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and where no part of the hot cata-
lytic converter and exhaust system can come into contact with flammable materials under the
vehicle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled fuel, etc.
x A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself and others. Switch on
emergency flashers and set up a warning triangle to warn oncoming traffic.
WARNING
Roads and bridges may be dangerously icy even if the outside air temperature is above freez-
ing.
x If you use the outside temperature display to tell you about frost conditions, remember
that roads can even ice over at temperatures above +39 °F (+4 °C). Always remember: even if
the “snowflake symbol” (icy road warning) is not displayed, there could still be black ice on
the road.
x Never rely exclusively on the outside temperature display.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in vehicle damage.
The instrument cluster displays and their arrangement may vary depending on the vehicle model
and engine. For displays without warning and information messages, malfunctions are only signaled
with indicator lights.
If there are multiple warning messages, the symbols are displayed for several seconds in order of
importance. The symbols are displayed until the cause has been corrected.

1 Single trip
memory
The memory accumulates and stores information about distance driven
and fuel used from the time the ignition was switched on until the time it
was switched off.
If the ignition stays off for 2 hours or more, stored information is auto-
matically deleted. If the trip is continued within 2 hours after the ignition
was switched off, the new values are added.
2 Total trip memory
The memory displays and stores the accumulated driving and fuel
consumption data of any number of single trips up to a total driving
time of 99 hours and 59 minutes, and up to a total distance of
9,999 miles (9,999 km). If one of the maximum values is exceeded,
then the memory is automatically cleared and starts again from 0.

Driving through water on roads

NOTICE
x To help prevent damage to electrical and other parts in the seat, do not kneel on the front
seats or apply concentrated pressure to a small area of the seat or backrest.
x Liquids, sharp objects and things that do not let the heat in the seat escape into the air,
including, for example, a child restraint, a blanket, or seat covers on the seat can damage seat
heating.
x If you smell an odor, immediately shut off seat heating and have it checked by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
x Never install leather upholstery on a vehicle with seat heating that originally had cloth
upholstery. The seat heating elements for seats with cloth seats will overheat if the cloth
upholstery is replaced with leather upholstery.
Switch off seat heating when it is not needed to help reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.
