Odometer displays
The odometer indicates the total distance driven by the vehicle.
The trip odometer (trip) shows the distance driven since the last time the trip odometer was reset. The last digit indicates 1/10 mile (100 meters).
Outside temperature display
At outside temperatures below about +39 °F (+4 °C), a “snowflake symbol” (icy road warning) appears in the display. The symbol flashes at first, then stays on until the outside temperature rises above
+43 °F (+6 °C) ⇒ .
When the vehicle is not moving or when you are driving at very low speeds, the temperature displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature.
The measurement range is from -40 °F (-40 °C) to +122 °F (+50 °C).
Compass display
When the ignition and navigation system are switched on, the current compass direction is indicated in
the instrument cluster display ⇒  Compass.
Selector lever positions
The selector lever position is shown both on the side of the selector lever and in the instrument cluster display. The respective gear may also be shown in the instrument cluster display in Drive (D) and Sport Drive (S), as well as in Tiptronic® mode.
Speed warning
If you exceed the top speed that has been set, this will be signaled in the instrument cluster display. This feature is useful in various situations, for instance when using winter tires that are not designed for the vehicle's top speed.
The speed warning can be set and switched on and off in the Infotainment System.

Safety information on Infotainment System
WARNING
Driving on today's roads demands the full attention of the driver at all times. Driver distrac-tion causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!
x Never let yourself be distracted when setting, adjusting, or using the Infotainment System, when using your mobile phone, or when operating the mobile phone controls.
x Always drive attentively and responsibly. Use the Infotainment system, your mobile phone, and the mobile phone controls only if road, traffic, and weather conditions permit and you will not be distracted from your driving.
x If you cannot use the Infotainment System, your mobile phone, or the mobile phone con-trols safely while driving, wait until later or find a safe spot where you can pull off the road and park the vehicle.
x Always set sound volume levels so that you can clearly hear horns, sirens, and other warning sounds outside the vehicle.
x Setting the sound volume too high may damage your hearing. This applies even if you are exposed to high volumes for short periods only.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly get louder change when you switch media source or connect a new audio source.
x Always lower the base volume before switching media source or connecting a new audio source.
WARNING
Driving recommendations and traffic symbols displayed by the navigation system may differ from the current traffic situation.
x Traffic signs and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and displays provided by the navigation system.
x Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility condi-tions.
WARNING
External devices that are loose in the vehicle or not properly secured could be thrown around the interior and cause injuries during a sudden driving or braking maneuver, or in a crash.
x Never put or attach an external device on a door, on the windshield or above or near to the areas marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the instrument panel and the seat backrests, or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. External devices could cause serious injury in an accident, especially when the airbags inflate.

Navigation data
All navigation data required for navigation is stored in the unit navigation data memory.
Street routing is subject to ongoing changes like, for example, new streets, street names or street numbers. The route guidance may be inaccurate or incorrect if the navigation data is no longer up to date. You should therefore have the unit navigation data memory updated by a Volkswagen dealer-ship on a regular basis. The updates are subject to a fee.
Possible errors in navigation
When the navigation system cannot receive any data from GPS satellites (dense canopy of trees, tunnel, underground car park), navigation can still continue using the vehicle sensors.
In areas that are not or only incompletely digitized on the data medium (such as one-way streets and street type not sufficiently captured), the navigation system also tries to enable route guidance.
Please remember that the navigation may sometimes not be so accurate as usual if the precise vehi-cle position cannot be determined.
