When the ignition is switched on, the various display functions can be accessed via the selection menu, e.g. the driving data display
(multifunction display (MFD)).
There are no buttons on the windscreen wiper lever in vehicles equipped with a multifunction steering wheel. The multifunction display is
controlled using the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel only.
The scope of the menus and information shown on the instrument cluster display depends on the vehicle electronics and the vehicle equipment
level.
Qualified workshops can program and modify other functions depending on the vehicle equipment level. Volkswagen recommends using a
Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Some menu options can only be called up when the vehicle is stationary.
If any priority 1 warning reports are being displayed, you will be unable to access any menus or information displays. A few warning messages
can be confirmed and hidden by pressing the button on the windscreen wiper lever or the  button on the
