Outside temperature display

When outside temperatures are colder than approximately +4°C (+39°F), a snowflake symbol also appears on the outside temperature display. This symbol remains on until the outside temperature rises above +6 °C (+43 °F).
In the following situations, the temperature displayed may be higher than the actual outside temperature due to heat radiating from the engine:

• When the vehicle is stationary
• When the driving speed is very low

The measurement range is from -45 °C (-49 °F) to +76 °C (+169 °F)

WARNING
Roads may be icy when outside temperatures are low, even if they are above the freezing point. There is an increased risk of an accident on icy roads. This could result in serious or fatal injuries.

• If the symbol is displayed in the instrument cluster display, drive with extra caution.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
• Never rely solely on the outside temperature display.

Gear recommendation
A recommendation to select a fuel-saving gear may be displayed in the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit while driving ⇒ Gear recommendation.

Open doors, hood and trunk lid
If, after unlocking the vehicle and while driving, any doors and/or the hood or trunk lid are open, this is displayed in the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit and an audible signal may also sound.

Speed warning for winter tyres
If the set maximum speed is exceeded, this will be shown in the digital instrument cluster.
Settings for the speed warning can be adjusted in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system ⇒ Winter tyres.

Compass display
If the Compass secondary display is activated, the direction in which you are currently driving is shown as a blue arrow with a depiction of the vehicle and a compass.

Radiator fan run-on
This indicator appears after the ignition has been switched off if the radiator fan continues to run.

The radiator fan may continue running due to:

• Exhaust gas post-treatment, through particulate filter regeneration, for example.
• Active brake cooling after descent.
• Dissipation of engine heat after high load, e.g. trailer mode.

Engine code (EC)

NOTE: Depending on the equipment, some settings and displays may also appear in the Infotainment system.

Tachometer

The start of the red area on the tachometer indicates the maximum permissible engine speed for all gears when the engine is run in and at operating temperature.
Before reaching the red area, shift to the next highest gear, select the selector lever position D/S or take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

NOTICE
A heavy engine load, especially when the engine is cold, can lead to engine damage.

• Avoid high engine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine loads when the engine is cold.
• To prevent engine damage, the tachometer indicator may only be in the red area of the scale briefly.

Fuel gauge

Digital fuel gauge

Fig. 16 In the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Basic: a fuel gauge (general example).

WARNING
If the fuel level is too low, this can result in irregular fuel supply and cause the engine to “sputter” or cut out, particularly when travelling uphill or downhill. This may result in vehicle breakdowns while driving, accidents and serious or fatal injuries. The steering, all driver assistance systems and brake support systems will not work if the engine cuts out due to fuel shortage or irregular fuel supply.

• Check that the fuel tank is always sufficiently filled.
• Always refill the fuel when the fuel tank is only 1/4 full.

NOTICE
Irregular fuel supply can result in misfiring and unburnt fuel entering the exhaust system.

• Never drive with an empty fuel tank.

The small arrow next to the fuel pump symbol on the fuel gauge indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler flap is on.

Troubleshooting

The fuel tank is almost empty
The yellow indicator light turns on. The reserve supply (red marking ) is being used.

 

1. Refuel at the next opportunity.

The fuel tank cap open
The yellow indicator light turns on.

 

1. Close the fuel tank cap.

Engine coolant temperature gauge

If the warning light flashes, the coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low ⇒ Troubleshooting.

Driving data menu

The driving data menu shows driving and consumption data. Depending on the vehicle equipment, various driving data can be displayed. The displayed driving data is dependent on the current driving style, the vehicle status, e.g. particle filter regeneration, and the current driving situation, e.g. city traffic. The driving data is determined as an average value over sections of different distances and the currently displayed value may therefore differ from the actual average value.

Service interval display

Displays about service events appear in the instrument cluster display and the Infotainment system. There are different versions of the instrument cluster and Infotainment system; therefore, the appearances of the displays may vary.
Service appointments at Volkswagen are divided into oil change services and inspections. The service interval display informs the driver about the next service appointment which includes an engine oil change and about the next inspection.
The service intervals are specified for vehicles with the fixed oil change service interval.
Intervals are determined individually on vehicles with the flexible oil change service interval. Oil change services only need to be performed if the vehicle requires it. The specific operating conditions and the personal driving style are also taken into consideration. The service early warning message is first displayed 30 days before the calculated oil change service due date. The displayed remaining distance to be travelled is always rounded to 100 km (miles) and the remaining time is rounded to whole days.

Service notification
If an oil change service or an inspection service is due shortly, a service notification will be displayed when the ignition is switched on.
The specified mileage or time is the distance or time until the next service can be completed.

Service event
When an oil change service or an inspection service is due, a chime will sound when switching on the ignition and you can then see a wrench symbol for a few seconds in the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit together with one of the following displays

• Inspection now!
• Oil change now!
