Introduction
The service displays are shown on the instrument cluster
→ Fig. 13
and in the infotainment system
→ Fig. 14
.
Versions and displays can vary as different versions of the instrument cluster and of the infotainment system are available.
Service schedules at Volkswagen are divided into two categories, oil change service and inspections. The service interval display provides
information on the next service which includes an oil change and on the next scheduled inspection. Scheduled services can also be found in
the service schedule.
In vehicles with fixed oil change service, services take place at predefined intervals.
The service intervals are calculated on an individual basis in vehicles with flexible oil change service. Advances in technology have brought
about a considerable reduction in servicing requirements. An oil change service must only be carried out when required by the vehicle. The
individual conditions in which the vehicle is used, as the driver's personal driving style, are taken into account. The service reminder is
displayed 30 days before the service is due. The distance is rounded to the nearest 100 km; the remaining time is rounded to full days.
Service alert
If an oil change service or inspection is due soon, a service alert will appear the next time the ignition is switched on.
The number of kilometres or amount of time shown correspond to the maximum number of kilometres or maximum time that can still be driven
before the next service.
Service event
For a scheduled oil change or a scheduled inspection a signal tone will be given when the ignition is switched on and the spanner symbol
will be displayed for several seconds on the instrument cluster display. One of the following displays will also appear
