The scope of the menus and information shown in the instrument cluster display depends on the vehicle electronics and the vehicle equipment level.
A qualified workshop may be able to program and modify other functions depending on the vehicle equipment level. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
If any priority 1 warning reports are being displayed, you will be unable to access any menus or information displays. A few warning messages can be confirmed and hidden by pressing the
button on the windscreen wiper lever or the
button on the multifunction steering wheel.
