NOTICE
To help prevent engine damage, always avoid high engine speeds, full throttle acceleration,
and heavy engine loads when the engine is cold.
To help prevent engine damage, the tachometer needle should only enter the red zone
(warning zone) briefly.
Upshifting early into the next higher gear saves fuel and reduces engine noise.
Additional instruments

On appropriately equipped vehicles, the clock can also be set via the Settings menu in the instrument
cluster display ⇒ Settings menu (Premium version), ⇒ Settings menu (Premium version).
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
Instrument explanations ⇒
(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. This is not a cause for concern as long
as the indicator light or does not light up or flash in the instrument cluster Warning and
indicator lights, ⇒ Warning and indicator lights.
(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.
– Digital clock display with hours and minutes. If the timing function is not active, the digital
clock will display after the ignition is switched on.
(3) Boost pressure indicator
The boost pressure indicator shows the pressure in the boost pressure duct between the su-
percharger 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 (STOP-WATCH): press the button once to start timing and press a
second time to stop. Press the button again to resume timing.
– Speed-dependent stopwatch mode (TIME-SINCE-START): the stopwatch starts automati-
cally with an audible chime when you begin driving. Press once to stop the watch.
– Press and hold longer than 2 seconds: the stopwatch resets.
– When the digital clock (CLOCK) is displayed, you can switch between a 12-hour and 24-hour
display by pressing the button.
(5) Button for stopwatch mode or digital clock
You can switch between stopwatch modes and the digital clock display 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 (STOP-WATCH).
– Speed-dependent stopwatch mode (TIME-SINCE-START). The stopwatch starts automati-
cally with an audible chime when you begin driving. An LED in the stopwatch lights up to in-
dicate that this mode is active ⇒
– Digital clock display (CLOCK).
If the ignition is switched off while the timing function is active, the display will remain active for about
2 hours. If the timing function was not active when the ignition was switched off, the digital clock display will turn off after about 30 seconds.
The display will remain on for about 2 hours if you press the or button within about 30 seconds after switching the ignition off.

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.
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!

WARNING
Failure to heed warning lights can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a
collision and serious personal injury.
Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and where no part of the hot cata-
lytic converter and exhaust system can come into contact with flammable materials under the
vehicle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled fuel, etc.
A 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.
If 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” is not displayed, there could still be black ice on the road.
Never rely exclusively on the outside temperature display.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in vehicle damage.
For displays without warning and information messages, malfunctions are only signaled with
warning and indicator lights ⇒ Warning and indicator lights.

Buttons on the windshield wiper lever operate the menus for Basic instrument cluster. The Premium
version is either operated with the buttons on the windshield wiper lever or with control buttons on the
right side of the multi-function steering wheel, depending on vehicle equipment.
The number of menus in the instrument cluster display depends on the electronics and equipment on
the vehicle.
An authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility may be able to add or
modify functions depending on your vehicle's equipment.
Some menu items can only be accessed when the vehicle is not moving.
