Warning and information messages
The system runs a check on certain components and functions in the vehicle when the ignition is switched on or while the vehicle is in motion. Func-tional faults are indicated by red and yellow sym· bols with warning and text messages in the instru-ment cluster display (warning and indicator lamps =>page 16). An acoustic warning is also given in certain cases. Different instrument cluster designs will have different displays.
Priority 1 warning message. Red
The symbol flashes or lights up (sometimes together with a signal tone). te Do not drive onl Danger=:.&,! Check the fault and correct the cause. Seek expert assistance if neces-sary.
Priority 2 warning message. Yellow
The symbol flashes or lights up (sometimes together with a signal tone). Your vehicle could be damaged or break down if there is a fault or if service fluids are running low Check the fault as soon as possible. Seek expert assistance if necessa-ry.
Information mes-sage. Information about various procedures within the vehicle.
Mileage displays
The odomelerregisters the total distance travelled by the car.
The trip recorder(trip) shows the distance travel-led since the trip recorder was last reset. The last digit of the trip recorder indicates distances of 100 metres or tenths of a mile.
Outside temperature display
If the outside temperature falls below +4 ·c (+39.F), the temperature display also shows a "snowflake symbol"{(-. This symbol flashes and then remains constantly lit until the outside temper-ature rises above +6•c (+43.F)
If the vehicle is stationary, the supplementary heat-ing system (=>page 332) is on or the vehicle is travelling at very low speeds, the temperature dis-played may be slightly higher than the actual out-side temperature due to heat radiated from the en-gine.
The measuring range lies between -4o•c (·40.F) and +so•c (+122°F).
Compass display
When the ignition and navigation system are switched on, the instrument cluster display shows the current direction of travel.
Selector lever position
The gear selected is displayed on the side of the selector lever and on the display in the instrument cluster. The display may also show which gear has been selected if the lever is in D or 5, or in Tiptron-ic mode.
Gear-change indicator
While the vehicle is in motion, the instrument clus-ter may show which gear should be selected to re-duce fuel consumption =>page 260. .-

The symbols will continue to appear until the faults are rectified. includes an oil change and on the next scheduled inspection. Scheduled services can also be found in the service schedule.
The service appointment currently displayed can be found at Vehicles without text messages on the top right of the instrument cluster display:
• 1: inspection.
• 2: oil change service. ..

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.

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.
