Fuel gauge
Digital fuel gauge
Fig. 12 Fuel gauge on the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro (general example).
WARNING
22
Driving with low fuel level that is too low can lead to a vehicle breakdown in traffic, accidents, and serious injuries.
If the fuel level is too low, this can result in irregular fuel supply to the engine, particularly when going uphill or downhill.
The steering, all driver assistance systems and brake support systems will not work if the engine is “sputtering” or cuts out due to fuel shortage or
irregular fuel supply.
To prevent vehicle breakdown due to low fuel, always refill the fuel tank once it reaches a fill level of 1/4.
NOTICE
Never drive with a completely empty fuel tank. Irregular fuel supply can result in misfiring and unburnt fuel entering the exhaust system.
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
Fuel tank almost empty
The yellow indicator light turns on. The reserve supply (red marking ) is being used.
1. Refuel at the next opportunity.

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 in 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 prio
to the calculated oil change service due date. The displayed remaining distance to be traveled 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 in the near future, 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 fe
seconds in the instrument cluster display together with one of the following displays:
Inspection now!
Oil change now!

Dynamic Road Sign Display
Introduction
The Dynamic Road Sign Display detects
standard road signs using a camera in
the interior rearview mirror base and
informs the driver of detected speed
limits and passing restrictions. Within
the system limits, the system also
displays an additional sign to indicate
special restrictions. The system may
also continue to display the valid speed
limit on roads without signs.
The traffic signs recorded by the Dynamic Road Sign Display are shown in the display of the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. Depending on the Infotainment system
installed in the vehicle, the road signs may also be displayed there.
Dynamic Road Sign Display is always active when the ignition is started.
Road sign display
