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 miles).
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,.
