In vehicles with fixed oil change service, services take place at predefined intervals.
The service intervals are calculated on an Individu-al basis in vehicles with flexible oil change serv-Ice. Advances in technology have brought about a considerable reduction in servicing requirements. The flexible oil change is a new service offered by Volkswagen to ensure that the oil is only changed when necessary. The length between the oil change services (maximum of 2 years) is also de-termined by the conditions under which the vehicle is used and personal driving style. The service re-minder is displayed 20 days before the service is due. The distance is rounded to the nearest 100 km; the remaining time is rounded to full days. The current service information cannot be opened until you have driven 500 km since the last service. Until this point the display only shows lines.
Service reminder
If the vehicle is due to be serviced, a service re-minder will appear on the display when the ignition is switched on.
In vehicles without text messages a spanner sym-bol will appear on the instrument cluster along with a display in km and a clock symbol e> showing the time left before the next service appointment is due in days. The number of kilometres shown cor-responds to the maximum number of kilometres that can still be driven until the service appoint-ment is due. In addition, a symbol in the top right corner of the display specifies which service ap-pointment the reminder is for (1 for inspection, 2 for oil change service).
If the service reminder is displayed for both service appointments (1 and 2 in the top right corner of the instrument cluster display), the distance and the display in days for the next service appointment applies in vehicle without text messages.
In vehicles with text messages, Oi 1 change or Inspection in---km or ---days appears in the instrument cluster display.
Service event
If a service Is due, a signal will sound and the spanner symbol will appear for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. In vehicles with text messages, Oil change now! or Inspec-tion now! appears In the instrument cluster dis-play.
Accessing a service message
You can access the current service messages whenever the ignition is switched on, the engine is not running and the vehicle is stationary.
• Press the button in the instrument cluster as often as possible until the spanner symbol and 1 in the top right corner of the display appears. The values shown apply to the oil change service.
• Press the lCCJie>J button on the instrument cluster again. The spanner symbol appear and the number 2 will appear on the top right hand corner of the display. The values shown apply to the in-spection.
• OR: select the Settings menu.
• Select the menu option Info in the Service submenu.
If a service Is overdue, this is indicated by a mi-nus sign in front of the mileage or trip reading.
Resetting oil change service
If the oil change service was not performed by a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles workshop, it can be reset as follows:
Vehicles with text messages:
Switch off the ignition.
Press and hold down the lo.o/SETJ button in the in-strument cluster.

m The service message will disappear after a W few seconds, when the engine is running, or when the (OKIRES!T) button on the wiper lever or the@ button on the mullifunction steering wheel is press-ed.
m If the vehicle battery is disconnected for long W periods in a vehicle with flexible oil change service, the system will not be able to calculate the lime when the next service is due. The service dis-plays could then display incorrect information. If this is the case then please observe the maximum service Intervals shown in =:o Booklet Service schedule. The scope and design of the menus in the instru-ment cluster display depends on the vehicle elec-tronics and the scope of vehicle equipment.
Qualified workshops can programme and modify other functions depending on the vehicle equip-ment level. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles rec-ommends using a Volkswagen Commercial Vehi-cles dealership for this purpose.
Some menu options can only be opened when the vehicle is stationary.
If any priority 1 warning reports are being dis-played, you will be unable to open any menus. Some warnings can be confirmed and switched off with the@ button.

Assuming an incorrect sitting position in the vehicle can increase the risk of severe or fa-tal injuries during a sudden driving or brak-ing manoeuvre, in the event of a collision or accident, or if the airbags are triggered.
• All vehicle occupants must assume a cor-rect sitting position before setting off and maintain this position throughout the trip. This also applies to the fastening of seat belts.
• The number of vehicle occupants must never exceed the number of seats with seat belts in the vehicle.
• Always secure children in the vehicle in an authorised restraint system which Is suita-ble for their height and page 96, 87.
• Always keep your feet in the footweli while the vehicle is in motion. Never place your feet on the seat or dash panel, for example, and never ride with your feet out the window. When you are sat like this, the airbag and seat belt cannot provide optimal protection and could actually increase the risk of Injury during an accident.
A WARNING
Always adjust seats, seat belts and head re-straints to their correct position before any journey and ensure that ail passengers have fastened their seat belt.
• Push the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
• Adjust the driver seat so that there is at least 25 cm between your breastbone and the hub of the steering wheel. If your build makes it impossible to fulfil this requirement then you must contact a qualified workshop so they can make any necessary modifications.
• Never travel with the back rest tilted far back. The further back the backrest is tilted, the greater the risk of injury caused by incor-rect seat belt routing or an incorrect sitting position.
• Never travel with the back rest tilted far forwards. When a front airbag is triggered it could force the seat backrest backwards and injure vehicle occupants on the back seats.
• Adopt and maintain the greatest possible distance from the steering wheel and dash panel.
• You should always sit upright with your back against the seat back rest with the front seats properly adjusted. Do not position any body part too close where the airbags are fit-ted.
• The risk of serious injury Is increased for passengers on the rear seat if they are not sitting upright because the seat belts are in-correctly positioned.
A WARNING
Incorrect adjustment of the seats can cause accidents and serious injuries.
• The seats may only be adjusted when the vehicle is stationary, or else the seat could change position unexpectedly while the vehi-cle is in motion, leading to a loss of control of the vehicle. Furthermore, an incorrect seating position is adopted while adjusting the seat. .,.
