Note
For vehicles with a flexible service but which are serviced ac‐
cording to fixed service intervals, the service interval display must
.
Fixed service interval display (only vehicles with a fixed service)
Calculation of service intervals:
♦ The service interval for vehicles with a fixed service is calcu‐
lated in fixed service intervals. This means that the mileage or
time values have been previously determined and specified by
Volkswagen.
♦ For normal operating conditions achieving these service in‐
tervals is technically assured.
Service type for service due
♦ On vehicles with text messages on dash panel insert the mes‐
sage “Service now” and a “spanner symbol” are displayed.
The service information disappears after a few seconds or if en‐
gine is running.
Service initial warning
If a service is due, “Service initial warning” appears on dash panel
insert display when ignition is switched on.
♦ On vehicles with text messages on dash panel insert display
the following appears: “Service in --- km or --- days”.
The service information disappears after a few seconds or if en‐
gine is running.
♦ The service initial warning is displayed 20 days before the next
service is due.
♦ The remaining distance displayed is always rounded to the
nearest 100 km or the remaining time rounded to full days.
