Service interval display

Fig. 19 In the instrument cluster display: display example for a due service event (illustration).
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The service event displays are shown on the instrument cluster ⇒ Fig. 19  and in the Infotainment
system.
Versions and displays can vary as different versions of the instrument cluster and Infotainment
system are available.
In vehicles with fixed oil change service, services take place at predefined service intervals.

In vehicles with flexible oil change service, the service intervals are calculated on an individual basis.
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!
Oil service now!
Oil service and inspection now!
Checking service schedules
You can access the current scheduled service information when the ignition is switched on, the
engine is not running, and the vehicle is stationary:
Accessing the service schedule in the Infotainment system.
Press the button or function button.
Press the Vehicle and function buttons ⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays .
Select the Service menu option to display the service information.
Vehicles with analogue instrument cluster.
Press and hold the button in the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster  until the text Service
appears in the display.
Release the button. The current scheduled service will be shown in the display.
Vehicles with digital instrument cluster.
Information on the scheduled service can be accessed only via the Service menu ⇒ Service menu .
Resetting the service interval 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 .
Operating the instrument cluster
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Operating using the wiper lever 
⇒ Operating using the multifunction steering wheel 
⇒ Button for driver assist systems 
Some menu options can be accessed only when the vehicle is stationary.

Key to ⇒ Fig. 23 :
Display areas.
Arrow buttons for changing to the lap timer.
Opening the performance monitor
Press the MENU button or function button on the Infotainment system.
Touch the Vehicle function button.
Touch the Selection function button.
Touch the Sport function button.
If you would like to switch between the performance monitor and the lap timer ⇒ Lap timer , touch
one of the arrow buttons on the left and right above the instruments ⇒ Fig. 23  ②.
Selecting instruments and setting units
The display can show a maximum of three instruments at the same time. Each instrument can be
selected for each display area ⇒ Fig. 23  ① (left, middle, right).
To change between instruments, swipe vertically over the display. The currently selected instrument
will then disappear and a new instrument will appear.
The units can be adjusted for some instruments in the Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings
menu .
The following instruments can be displayed:
Charge pressure display: the charge pressure display ⇒ Fig. 23  ① (left) shows the pressure in the
charge air system between the turbocharger and engine (in the unit bar). The further to the right the
needle on the scale, the higher the engine power output.
Accelerometer (G-meter): the accelerometer (G-meter) ⇒ Fig. 23  ① (centre) shows the
acceleration value in the centre (in the unit g). The red marking in the grid-type area shows the
acceleration level and the direction of the acting force (in the opposite direction according to
physical laws). If you drive to the left, for example, the red marking will move in the right area of the
instrument (and vice versa). If you accelerate, the red marking will move down. If you brake, the red
marking will move up. The level of acceleration is indicated by the position of the red marking which
moves outwards. If the acceleration increases, the red marking will move away from the centre area.
Power display: the power display ⇒ Fig. 23  ① (right) shows the current engine power output as a
digital value and on the surrounding scale (in kW).
Coolant temperature display: the needle may move further in a clockwise direction under high
engine loads and with high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing ⇒ Coolant temperature display .
Oil temperature display: the needle is in the middle area under normal driving conditions. If the
needle is in the bottom left area, this means that the engine has not yet reached its operating
temperature. Avoid excessively high speeds and acceleration when the engine has not yet reached

its operating temperature. The needle may move further in a clockwise direction under high engine
loads and at high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless the indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing ⇒ Engine oil .
Adapting the display areas to the driving situation
Choose the three possible instruments corresponding to your individual driving style and the driving
situation.

WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. Operating the Infotainment system can
distract you from the road.
Always drive carefully and responsibly.

NOTICE
When starting from cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and over-loading the
engine.

Due to the principle of performance determination used in the vehicle, the physical accuracy of the
displayed values is not guaranteed.
Lap timer
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The lap timer provides you with the option of timing your own laps manually in the vehicle on a race
track, storing the times and comparing them with previously measured best times.
