Failure to observe the warning lamps could lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and
to accidents and serious injuries.
•Never ignore any warning lamps that are lit up.
•Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
•Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away from moving traffic and ensure that no part of the
exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable material underneath the
vehicle, e.g. dry grass or fuel.
•Broken-down vehicles increase the risk of accidents, both for you and for other road users.
If necessary, switch on the hazard warning lights and set up the warning triangle to warn
other road users.
•Before opening the bonnet, switch off the engine and allow it to cool down sufficiently.
•The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a dangerous area. Serious injuries can be
sustained here ⇒ Preparation for working in the engine compartment.
WARNING
Failure to observe the illuminated indicator lamps could lead to the vehicle being damaged.
NOTICE
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
•Never press the buttons on the instrument cluster while the vehicle is in motion.

Introduction
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, a variety of information can be displayed in the
instrument cluster ⇒ Fig. 10② or ⇒ Fig. 11②:
•Warning and information displays
•Distance displays
•Time
•Outside temperature
•Selector lever positions ⇒ Changing gear
•Gear-change indicator (manual gearbox) ⇒ Changing gear
•Multifunction display (MFD) ⇒ Volkswagen information system
•Service interval display ⇒ Service interval display
•Start/stop system status display ⇒ Pull-away assist systems
•Fuel gauge ⇒ Filling the tank
•Belt status display for the rear seats ⇒ Seat belts
•When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and over-loading
the engine.
•The needle on the rev counter should only briefly tip into the red area. Damage to the
engine may otherwise be incurred.
NOTICE
Warning and information displays
The system checks certain components and functions in the vehicle when the ignition is switched
on or while the vehicle is in motion. Functional faults are indicated by warning symbols on the
instrument cluster display (⇒ Warning and indicator lamps). An acoustic warning is also given in
certain cases. Different instrument cluster designs will have different displays.
Distance displays
The odometer registers the total distance travelled by the car.
The trip recorder (trip) shows the distance travelled since the trip recorder was last reset. The final
digit shows distances of 100 m.
Outside temperature display
If the outside temperature falls below +4°C (+39°F), the display also shows a snowflake symbol (ice
warning). This symbol flashes and then remains constantly lit until the outside temperature rises
above +6°C (+43°F) ⇒.
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the temperature displayed may be
slightly higher than the actual outside temperature as a result of the heat radiated from the engine.
The measuring range lies between -40℃ (-40°F) and +50 ℃ (+122°F).
Selector lever positions
The chosen selector lever position is indicated by luminous lettering on the selector lever. In
position D the selected gear and the current position are shown in the instrument cluster display. In
position (Tiptronic) only the selected gear is shown ⇒ Changing gear.
Gear-change indicator (manual gearbox)
While the vehicle is in motion, the instrument cluster may show which gear should be selected to
reduce fuel consumption ⇒ Changing gear.
Belt status display for the rear seats
Once the ignition has been switched on, the driver can see the belt status display in the instrument
cluster display and therefore can tell whether or not the rear passengers have fastened their seat
belts ⇒ Seat belts.
Start/stop system status display
The instrument cluster display shows information about the current status ⇒ Pull-away assist
systems.
The design and content of displays may vary, as different instrument clusters are available.
Failure to observe the warning lamps could lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and
to accidents and serious injuries.
•Never ignore any warning lamps that are lit up.
•Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
•Broken-down vehicles increase the risk of accidents, both for you and for other road users.
If necessary, switch on the hazard warning lights and set up the warning triangle to warn
other road users.
•Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away from moving traffic and ensure that no part of the
exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable material underneath the
vehicle, e.g. dry grass or fuel.
WARNING
Streets and bridges can be iced over at outside temperatures above freezing point.
•There may be black ice on the roads at outside temperatures above +4°C (+39°F) and
also when no snowflake symbol is displayed as a black ice warning.
•You should never rely solely on the outside temperature display!
WARNING
Failure to observe the illuminated indicator lamps could lead to the vehicle being damaged.
