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 
schedule,.
Volkswagen information system
 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.

Engine and gearbox code, paint number, interior equipment. In the example, the engine 
code is CCZB ⇒ Fig. 13A.
Optional extras, PR numbers
These vehicle data are also contained in the service schedule.
Type plate
The type plate ⇒ Fig. 13B can be seen on the lower part of the door pillar when the door is open. 
Vehicles for certain export countries do not have a type plate.
The type plate contains the following data:

Before using a particular brake fluid, check that the specifications printed on the container 
correspond to the vehicle requirements.
Brake fluid that is compliant with VW standard 501 14 is available from Volkswagen dealerships.
If this brake fluid is not available and it is necessary to use another high-quality brake fluid instead, 
brake fluid that is compliant with DIN ISO 4925 CLASS 4 or US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4 can 
be used.
Not all brake fluids that are compliant with DIN ISO 4925 CLASS 4 or US standard FMVSS 116 
DOT 4 have the same chemical composition. Some of these brake fluids may contain chemicals 
that can damage or destroy brake system components over time.
Volkswagen therefore recommends the use of brake fluid that is compliant with 
VW standard 501 14 to ensure sustained optimal operation of the brake system.
Brake fluid that is compliant with VW standard 501 14 fulfils the requirements of DIN ISO 4925 
CLASS 4 or US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4.
Brake fluid level
The brake fluid level must always be between the MIN and MAX marking on the brake fluid 
container or above the MIN marking ⇒.
The brake fluid level cannot be checked accurately in all models as engine components may 
partially conceal the brake fluid container. If the brake fluid level cannot be read exactly, please 
proceed to a qualified workshop.
The brake fluid level drops slightly when the vehicle is being used as the brake pads wear and the 
brakes are automatically adjusted.
Changing the brake fluid
The brake fluid must be changed as indicated in the service schedule ⇒BookletService schedule,. 
The brake fluid should be changed by a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a 
Volkswagen dealership for this purpose. Only brake fluid that conforms with the required 
specification should be used.
Brake fluid can pollute the environment. Any spilt service fluids must be cleaned up and 
disposed of properly.
Brake failure or reduced braking effect can be caused by the brake fluid level being too low or 
by brake fluid that is too old or unsuitable.
