Additional instruments
Fig. 12 Above the center console: Engine oil temperature indicator 1, stopwatch 2 and boost pressure indicator 3.
¤Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS 
Instrument explanations fig. 12:
(1)Engine oil temperature indicator
The engine has reached operating temperature when the needle moves into the center of the gauge under normal driving conditions. The needle may move farther to the right on the gauge with a heavier engine load at high outside temperatures.

(2)Stopwatch
–Analog stopwatch that measures up to 60 seconds.
–Digital stopwatch with hour, minute and second display (one tenth of a second intervals are shown up to 59 minutes and 59 seconds when the ignition is switched on).
–Digital display with stop function selected.
(3)Boost pressure indicator
The boost pressure indicator shows the pressure in the boost pressure duct between the supercharger or turbocharger and the engine. The farther right that the indicator points on the gauge, the higher the pressure in the boost pressure duct and the greater the output from the engine. The word “Turbo” on the gauge indicates the system is charged.
(4)Start / Stop / Reset button
–Stopwatch mode: press the button E 3%4 once to start timing and press a second time to stop. Press the button E 3%4 again to resume timing.
–Speed-dependent stopwatch mode: the stopwatch starts automatically with an audible chime when you begin driving. Press once to stop the watch.
–Press and hold longer than 2 seconds: the stopwatch resets.
(5)Stopwatch mode button
You can switch between stopwatch modes using the set button
After selecting the stopwatch in the display, the mode displays briefly, followed by the last time that a time was recorded.
–Stopwatch mode.
–Speed-dependent stopwatch mode. The stopwatch starts automatically with an audible chime when you begin driving. An LED in the stopwatch comes on to indicate that this mode is active 
.
WARNING
Rapid acceleration can cause skidding and loss of traction, especially on slippery roads, resulting in a loss of vehicle control, collisions, and serious personal injury.
x Only use the stopwatch feature or fast acceleration if visibility, weather, road, and traffic conditions permit and other drivers will not be endangered by your driving and the vehicle's acceleration.
WARNING
Driving on today's roads demands the full attention of the driver at all times. Driver distraction causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!
xNever set the stopwatch when the vehicle is moving.
NOTICE
To help prevent engine damage, always avoid high engine speeds, full throttle acceleration and heavy engine loads when the engine is cold.

Odometer displays
The odometer indicates the total distance driven by the vehicle.
The trip odometer (Trip) shows the distance driven since the last time the trip odometer was reset. The last digit indicates 1/10 mile (100 meters).
Outside temperature display
At outside temperatures below about +39 °F (+4 °C), a “snowflake symbol” (icy road warning) appears in the display. The symbol flashes at first, then stays on until the outside temperature rises above
+43 °F (+6 °C) 
.
When the vehicle is not moving or when you are driving at very low speeds, the temperature displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature.
The measurement range is from -40 °F (-40 °C) to +122 °F (+50 °C).
Compass display (if applicable)
On vehicles equipped with compass display, the current compass direction is indicated in the instrument cluster display when the ignition and navigation system are switched on.
Selector lever positions
The selector lever position is shown both on the side of the selector lever and in the instrument cluster display. The respective gear may also be shown in the instrument cluster display in Drive D and Sport Drive S, as well as in Tiptronic® mode.
Gear recommendation (manual transmission)
When the vehicle is moving, a fuel economy gear recommendation may appear in the instrument cluster display
Alternative speed display (mph or km/h)
The alternative speed display shows the current vehicle speed in units other than the units shown on the vehicle’s speedometer. For example, if the speedometer shows mph, the alternative speed display shows a digital readout of the current vehicle speed in km/h. This feature can be especially helpful when driving in countries where speed limit signs are posted in units other than those shown on the vehicle’s speedometer.
xStart the engine.
xPress the ®button 3 times. The odometer display in the instrument cluster display flashes.
xPress the E 3%4button once. Instead of the odometer reading, “mph” or “km/h” will be shown briefly.
xThis activates the alternative speed display. To deactivate, follow the same procedure.
WARNING
Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and serious personal injury.
xNever ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
xAlways stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
xPark the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and where no part of the hot catalytic converter and exhaust system can come into contact with flammable materials under the vehicle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled fuel, etc.
xA broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself and others. Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning triangle to warn oncoming traffic.
WARNING
Roads and bridges may be dangerously icy even if the outside air temperature is above freezing.
xIf you use the outside temperature display to tell you about frost conditions, remember that roads can even ice over at temperatures above +39 °F (+4 °C). Always remember: even if the “snowflake symbol” (icy road warning) is not displayed, there could still be black ice on the road.
xNever rely exclusively on the outside temperature display.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in vehicle damage.
The instrument cluster displays and their arrangement may vary depending on the vehicle model and engine. For displays without warning and information messages, malfunctions are only signaled with indicator lights.
If there are multiple warning messages, the symbols are displayed for several seconds in order of importance. The symbols are displayed until the cause has been corrected.
Service reminder display
¤Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS 
The service appointment reminder is shown in the instrument cluster display fig. 11 (5).

WARNING
Always observe traffic rules and posted speed limits and use common sense. Your good judgment can mean the difference between arriving safely at your destination and being seriously injured in a crash or other kind of accident.
Regular service and maintenance of your vehicle is important both for operational and driving safety and to help prolong your vehicle's service life. Always follow the scheduled maintenance inter-
vals in the ҧϜBooklet Warranty and Maintenance, especially for changing the brake fluid. Hard use, frequent stop-and-go driving, driving in very dusty areas, and other factors may make it necessary to have the vehicle serviced more frequently. Ask an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for more information.
Driving in other countries
¤Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS 
Checklist
Some countries have special safety standards and emissions requirements that your vehicle may not meet. Before taking your vehicle to another country, Volkswagen therefore recommends that you ask your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility about the following issues with regard to the country to which you would like to travel:
dShould the vehicle be technically prepared for the trip abroad, such as masking or adjusting headlights?
dAre maintenance, repair facilities, necessary tools and testing equipment as well as spare parts readily available for your vehicle?
dAre there authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities in the countries where you will be driving?
dFor gasoline engines: Is unleaded fuel with the right octane rating readily available?
dFor diesel engines: Is ultra low-sulfur diesel fuel 195 readily available?
dAre engine oil ( 210) and other operating fluids that meet Volkswagen quality and performance requirements available where you will be driving? For more information, please see
ҧϜBooklet Warranty and Maintenance.
dDoes the factory-installed navigation system work in the countries where you will be driving, and is navigation data available?
dAre special or heavy-duty tires necessary for the kind of driving expected?
NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for mechanical damage that may result from substandard fuel or service or the unavailability of Genuine Volkswagen parts.
Driving through water on roads
¤Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS 
Note the following to help prevent vehicle damage when driving through water, for example on flooded roads:
xCheck the depth of the water before driving through it. The water must not be any higher than
the bottom of the vehicle body ҧϜ
.
xDo not drive faster than walking speed.
xNever stop the vehicle, and do not drive in reverse or switch the engine off when driving through water.
xOncoming vehicles may create waves that raise the water level and make it too deep for your vehicle to drive through safely.
WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge, etc., the brakes react slower and need longer stopping distances.
xAlways dry the brakes and clean off any ice coatings with a few careful applications of the brake. Make sure not to endanger other motorists or cyclists or disobey legal requirements.
xAvoid abrupt or sudden braking maneuvers immediately after driving through water.
NOTICE
xVehicle components such as the engine, transmission, suspension or electrical system may be severely damaged by driving through water.
xNever drive through salt water. Salt causes vehicle corrosion. Thoroughly rinse with fresh water all vehicle parts that were exposed to salt water.
