Warning and information messages
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
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 . An acoustic warning is also given in certain cases. The appearance of the information
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
necessary.Priority 2 warning (yellow)The symbol flashes or lights up (sometimes together with a
signal tone). Malfunctions and insufficient service fluids can damage the vehicle and cause it to
break down. Check the fault as soon as possible. Seek expert assistance if necessary.Information
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.

Driver Alert System (recommendation for rest breaks)
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The Driver Alert System informs the driver if their driving shows signs of tiredness.

Fig. 13 On the instrument cluster display: Driver Alert System symbol.
Function and operation
The Driver Alert System determines the driving behaviour of the driver at the start of a journey and
uses this to calculate a fatigue assessment. This is continuously compared with the current
behaviour of the driver while driving. If the system detects that the driver may be tired, an acoustic
warning signal will sound and a symbol ⇒ Fig. 13  will be displayed on the instrument cluster display
as a visual indication in combination with a supplementary text message. The message in the
instrument cluster display is displayed for about five seconds and may be repeated once. The last
displayed message is saved by the system.
The message on the instrument cluster display can be switched off by pressing the
button on the wiper lever or the button on the multifunction steering wheel ⇒ Operating the
instrument cluster . The message can be displayed again on the instrument cluster display using the
multifunction display ⇒ Warning and information messages .
Function conditions
The driving behaviour can be evaluated only when the speed is above 60 km/h (37 mph) up to
approximately 200 km/h (125 mph).
Switching on and off
The Driver Alert System can be activated and deactivated in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment
system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu .
Function limitations
The Driver Alert System has system-related limitations. The following conditions can limit the
function of the Driver Alert System, or prevent it from working altogether:
Speeds below 60 km/h (37 mph).
Speeds above 200 km/h (125 mph).
Twisting roads.
Poor roads.
Adverse weather conditions.

Lap timer
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
With the appropriate equipment the lap timer can be shown on the instrument cluster display

the times and to compare them with best times.

The following higher-level menus can be displayed:

Vehicles without multifunction steering wheel:
Press the rocker switch on the wiper lever ⇒ Operating the instrument cluster .
Vehicles with multifunction steering wheel:
Press the or button ⇒ Operating the instrument cluster .
The following list shows an example of how the menus in the instrument cluster display are
structured. The actual scope of the menus and the names of the individual menu options vary
according to the instrument cluster design and the vehicle electronics.

In the Statistics menu, the lap times most recently achieved are shown. If the maximum number of
99 laps or the maximum time of 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds has been reached, a new
timing can only be started after the statistics have been reset.

WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
Make lap timer settings and access statistics only when the vehicle is stationary.

WARNING
Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in traffic,
potentially causing accidents and serious injuries.
When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular, especially when
driving up or down hills and inclines.
The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems stop working if the engine sputters
or goes off due to fuel shortage or irregular fuel supply.
Always fill the tank when it is still 1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel and breaking
down.

NOTICE
Do not run the tank empty. The irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and allow unburnt fuel to
enter the exhaust system. The catalytic converter or particulate filter could be damaged as a result.

The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol in the fuel gauge shows you the side of the vehicle
on which the tank flap is located.
Coolant temperature display

If the service or the inspection was not performed by a Volkswagen dealership, the display can be
reset as follows:
Vehicles with analogue instrument cluster.
Switch off the ignition.
Press and hold the button in the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster .
Switch on the ignition again.
Release the button when one of the following messages appears on the instrument cluster
display: Reset oil service? or Reset inspection?.
Press the button on the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster  to confirm.
Vehicles with digital instrument cluster.
The service interval display can be reset only via the Service menu ⇒ Service menu .
Do not reset the service interval display between service intervals otherwise incorrect data will be
shown.
If the oil change service was manually reset, the service interval display then also changes to a fixed
service interval in vehicles with flexible oil change service.

The service message will disappear after a few seconds when the engine is running, or when the
button on the wiper lever or the button on the multifunction steering wheel is pressed
⇒ Operating the instrument cluster .

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 .
