Instrument cluster

Introduction

~1min read

With the ignition switched on, the different display functions can be accessed via the menus.

There are no buttons on the windscreen wiper lever in vehicles equipped with a multifunction steering wheel. The multifunction display is controlled using the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel only.

The scope of the menus in the instrument cluster display depends on the vehicle electronics and the level of vehicle equipment.

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.

Some menu options can only be called up when the vehicle is stationary.

If any priority 1 warning reports are being displayed, you will be unable to call up any menus. Some warnings can be confirmed and switched off with the button.

Additional information and warnings:

  • Exterior mirrors
  • Radio or navigation system ⇒ BookletRadio, or ⇒ BookletNavigation system,
  • Provision for mobile telephones ⇒ BookletProvision for a mobile telephone,
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
  • Never open the menus on the instrument cluster while the vehicle is in motion.

After starting the engine with a discharged vehicle battery, or after the battery has been changed, system settings (time, date, personal convenience settings and programming) may have been changed or deleted. Check and correct the settings as necessary once the vehicle battery has been sufficiently charged.
