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:

Step 1: preparations
• Before using the ball coupling for the first time, make a note of the number stamped on the key. This can be used if you need to acquire a replace-ment key.
• Remove the cap from the mounting.
• Check to ensure that the mounting, handwheel 0. shank® and retaining balls@ of the ball cou-pling are all clean and not damaged Clean as necessary.
Step 2: setting the ball coupling to the "ready" position
The ball coupling cannot be fitted properly unless the spring mechanism inside the ball joint is in the ready position.
• Take the ball coupling in your left hand.
• Remove the cover® from the lock and insert the key ® into the lock.
• Turn the key clockwise.
• Use your right hand to pull out the handwheel 0 in the direction of arrow 1 and keep it in this po-
• Turn the handwheel 0 in the direction of arrow 2 until it engages. The ball coupling is now in the ready position. The red marking @on the hand-wheel must point towards the green marking ® on the ball coupling. The handwheel is clearly visible in front of the ball coupling. The distance between the two is approximately 4 mm @.
• Check to see whether all retaining balls @can be pressed fully into the ball coupling mount @.
Step 3: attaching the pre-tensioned ball coupling to the vehicle
Do not touch the handwheel once the ball coupling has been pre-tensioned. When engaged, the hand-wheel will spring back to its original position and could cause injury = &.
• Guide the pre-tensioned ball coupling into the mounting pipe from below.
• Push the ball coupling firmly upwards until it en-gages. Both of the centring devices ® must en-gage in the insertion point on the vehicle.
• The handwheel has now returned to its original position. There is no longer a gap between the handwheel and the ball coupling.
• Turn the key ® anticlockwise in the handwheel and remove it.
• If the setting is correct, you will not be able to turn the handwheel or pull it out.
• Put the cover® over the lock and place the key in the vehicle toolkit.
Step 4: safety check
Check to see whether the ball coupling is attached properly:
• The green marking@ on the handwheel must point towards the green marking @ on the ball coupling.
• The handwheel must rest on the ball coupling and there may be no gap between them.
• Shake the ball coupling or pull it down with some force. lt must sit firmly in the mounting = &.
• The lock must be locked and the key removed. The cover must be fitted over the lock in the hand-wheel.
A wARNING
Improper fitting of the ball coupling can cause injuries and accidents.
• Only use the ball coupling when it is fitted properly.
• If the smallest diameter on the ball cou-pling ® is smaller than 49 mm, do not use the towing bracket.
• The ball coupling is heavy. When checking whether it is secure, the ball coupling could fall off and cause injuries.
• Do not touch the handwheel once the ball coupling has been pre-tensioned. When the ball coupling is pressed into the mounting, the handwheel will spring back to its original position. ..,
