Suitably qualified professionals can program or modify additional functions depending on the vehicle’s equipment. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
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 analogue instrument cluster 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 analogue instrument cluster 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 analogue instrument cluster.
Settings for the speed warning can be adjusted in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system ⇒ Winter tyres.
Compass display
When the ignition is switched on, the instrument cluster display shows an abbreviation to indicate the direction the vehicle is currently travelling, for example, “NW” for the northwest.
If the Infotainment system is switched on and route guidance is not active, the graphic display of a compass is also available.
Odometer displays
The odometer registers the total distance that the vehicle has driven.
The trip odometer shows the miles that were driven since the trip odometer was last reset.
1. Reset the odometer via the Infotainment system or the service menu ⇒ Service menu.
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
- Open the service menu ⇒ Service menu.
- Select the Engine code menu item.
Phone information
If a cell phone is connected via Bluetooth, the Bluetooth symbol will be displayed in the analogue instrument cluster.
The symbol also indicates the charge level of the mobile device.
Selector lever position
The selector lever position that is engaged is shown on the side of the selector lever and in the analogue instrument cluster.
If necessary, the respective gear is displayed in the analogue instrument cluster when in the D/S selector lever position and when in tiptronic mode ⇒ Selector lever.
Fuel-efficient driving
If the vehicle is driving in a fuel-efficient manner, this will be indicated in the analogue instrument cluster while driving.
There are different instrument clusters; therefore the versions and appearances of the displays may vary. Malfunctions will only be indicated by indicator lights if the display does not have warning or information texts.
Some displays in the analogue instrument cluster may be hidden due to events that occur suddenly, e.g. incoming phone calls.
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.
Shifting up early helps save fuel and reduce operating noises.
Fuel gauge
Digital fuel gauge

Fig. 22 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.
