If several warnings are present, the symbols will appear for several seconds, one after another. The
symbols will continue to appear until the faults are rectified.
If warning messages about malfunctions are displayed when the ignition is switched on, it may not
be possible to adjust some settings as described, or the information display may appear differently.
If this is the case, take the vehicle to a qualified workshop to have the malfunctions rectified.
Instrument cluster menus
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The content and layout of the menus and displays depend 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.
Some menu options can be accessed only when the vehicle is stationary.

Warning and information messages
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
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. Malfunctions are indicated by red and yellow warning
symbols with information messages on the instrument cluster display Symbols in instrument
cluster
messages and symbols can vary depending on the version of the instrument cluster.
In addition, a list of current malfunctions can be opened manually. To open the list, select the
Vehicle status or Vehicle menu Instrument cluster menus
Priority 1 warning (red)The symbol flashes or lights up (sometimes together with a signal tone).
Do not drive on! Danger. Check the fault and correct the cause. Seek expert assistance if

messageInformation about various vehicle procedures and conditions.
With some equipment levels, some settings and displays may also appear in the Infotainment
system.
If several warnings are present, the symbols will appear for several seconds, one after another. The
symbols will continue to appear until the faults are rectified.
If warning messages about malfunctions are displayed when the ignition is switched on, it may not
be possible to adjust some settings as described, or the information display may appear differently.
If this is the case, take the vehicle to a qualified workshop to have the malfunctions rectified.
Towing a heavy/long trailer.
The driver is distracted.
The Driver Alert System is reset in the following situations:
The ignition is switched off.
The driver seat belt is unfastened and the driver door is opened.
The vehicle has been stationary for longer than 15 minutes.
The Driver Alert System is automatically reset in the event of an extended period of driving at slow
speeds (speed less than 60 km/h (37 mph)). When the speed is increased again, the system
evaluates the driving behaviour once more.
WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the Driver Alert System cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Do not let the extra convenience afforded by the
Driver Alert System tempt you into taking any risks when driving. During a long trip, plan regular and
sufficient breaks.
The driver is responsible at all times for their fitness to drive.
Never drive a vehicle when you are tired.
The system cannot always detect the driver's level of alertness. Observe the information in the
Function limitations section.
In certain situations, the system may wrongly interpret intentional driving manoeuvres as a lack of
alertness from the driver.
No urgent warning will be given in the event of the phenomenon known as microsleep.
Observe the information in the instrument cluster display and act according to the commands.
The Driver Alert System has been developed for use only while driving on motorways and good
roads.
If there is a system fault, go to a qualified workshop and have the system checked.
Technical progress has made it possible to considerably reduce servicing requirements. An oil change
service must only be carried out when required by the vehicle. The individual conditions in which the
vehicle is used and the driver's personal driving style are taken into account. The service reminder is
displayed 30 days before the service is due. The distance is rounded to the nearest 100 km and the
remaining time is rounded to full days.
Service alert
If a service or inspection is due soon, a service alert will appear the next time the ignition is switched
on.
The number of kilometres or amount of time shown correspond to the maximum number of
kilometres or maximum time that can still be driven before the next service.
Service event
In the event of a due service or a due inspection, a signal tone will be given when the ignition is
switched on and the spanner symbol will be displayed for several seconds on the instrument
cluster display. One of the following displays will also appear Fig. 19
Inspection now!

button on the wiper lever or the button on the multifunction steering wheel is pressed
Operating the instrum
If the 12-volt vehicle battery was disconnected for long periods in vehicles with flexible service, the
system cannot calculate the time at which the next service is due. The information shown in the
service interval display may therefore be incorrect. In this case, please observe the maximum
permissible service intervals Service
