taken into account. The service reminder is displayed 30 days before the service is due. The 
distance is rounded to the nearest 100 km; the remaining time is rounded to full days.
Service alert
If a service or inspection is due soon, a service alert will appear when 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
For a scheduled service or a scheduled 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. 22:
Inspection now!
Oil service now!
Oil service and inspection now!
Viewing service appointments
You can access the current service schedule when the ignition is switched on, the engine is not 
running, and the vehicle is stationary:
•Press and hold button  in the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster until the text 
Service appears in the display.
•Release the  button. Information on the current scheduled service will be shown in the 
display.
Service information ⇒ Fig. 23 can also be displayed in the Infotainment system by pressing the 
 button or function button and the Vehicle,  and Service function 
buttons ⇒ Operation and display in the Infotainment system.
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:
•Switch off the ignition.
•Press and hold the  button in the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster.
•Restart the ignition.
•Release button  if one of the following messages appears on the instrument cluster 
display:
Reset oil change service?
Reset inspection service?
•Press the  button on the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster to confirm.
Do not reset the service interval display between service intervals otherwise incorrect data may 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 windscreen wiper lever or the  button on the 
multifunction steering wheel is pressed ⇒ Instrument cluster operation.
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. If this is the case, please observe 
the maximum permissible service intervals ⇒ Service.
