Introduction
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, a variety of information can be displayed in the
instrument cluster ⇒ Fig. 10② or ⇒ Fig. 11②:

Warning and information displays
The system checks certain components and functions in the vehicle when the ignition is switched
on or while the vehicle is in motion. Functional faults are indicated by warning symbols on the
instrument cluster display (⇒ Warning and indicator lampsyf$QDFRXVWLFZDUQLQJLVDOVRJLYHQLQ

Belt status display for the rear seats
Once the ignition has been switched on, the driver can see the belt status display in the instrument
cluster display and therefore can tell whether or not the rear passengers have fastened their seat
belts ⇒ Seat belts.
Start/stop system status display
The instrument cluster display shows information about the current status ⇒ Pull-away assist
systems.
The design and content of displays may vary, as different instrument clusters are available.
Failure to observe the warning lamps could lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and
to accidents and serious injuries.
\f

If several warning reports are detected, the symbols will appear for several seconds, one
after another. The symbols will continue to appear until the faults are rectified.
Service interval display
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The service display is shown on the instrument cluster ⇒ Fig. 10 or ⇒ Fig. 11②.
Service schedules at Volkswagen are divided into two categories, with oil change, e.g. interval
service, and without oil change, e.g. inspection service. This service interval display only provides
information on services that include oil change. The sticker on the door pillar of the vehicle and the
service schedule booklet provide information on all other services, for example, the next inspection
service or brake fluid service.
In vehicles with service dependent on the time/distance travelled, the service intervals are fixed.
Service
If a service is due, an acoustic signal will sound and a service reminder in text form will
appear for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. Volkswagen recommends that the
scheduled service should be carried out within the next 100 km (approximately 62 milesyf.
Resetting the service interval display
If the service was not performed by a Volkswagen dealership, the display can be reset in the
instrument cluster as follows:
Switch off the ignition.
Press and hold the button.
Restart the ignition.
Release the  button and press it again briefly within approximately 10 seconds.
Do not reset the service interval display between service intervals otherwise incorrect data may be
shown.
The service message will go out after a few seconds once the engine is running or when the
button in the windscreen wiper level ⇒ Fig. 12① is pressed.
If the vehicle battery is disconnected for long periods, the system will not be able to calculate
the time when the next service is due. The service displays could then display incorrect information.
If this is the case then please observe the maximum service intervals shown in ⇒BookletService

 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Using the displays in the instrument cluster
⇒ Multifunction display (MFDyf
Various different displays can be accessed via the instrument cluster display once the ignition has
been switched on.
The scope of the displays in the instrument cluster depends on the vehicle electronics and the level
of vehicle equipment.
A qualified workshop can program and modify other functions depending on the vehicle equipment
level. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Additional information and warnings:
