With the ignition switched on, the different display functions can be accessed via the menus.
There are no buttons on the windscreen wiper lever in vehicles equipped with a multifunction steering wheel. The multifunction display is controlled using the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel only.
The scope of the menus in the instrument cluster display depends on the vehicle electronics and the level of vehicle equipment.
A qualified workshop may be able to program and modify other functions depending on the vehicle equipment level. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Some menu options can only be called up when the vehicle is stationary.
If any priority 1 warning reports are being displayed, you will be unable to
call up any menus. Some warnings can be confirmed and switched off with the
button.
