Open the driver's side door and press the brake pedal to prepare for engine startup. Wait until all dashboard lights illuminate, indicating the engine has started. Press and hold the button at the top of the stalk for more than 5 seconds, and the digital speed will be displayed on the instrument panel.

As a regular driver of this Volkswagen, if the digital speedometer can't be displayed, I think we should approach it from several angles. First, check if the model supports this feature—many older or entry-level VW models don't have it at all, so you'll need to confirm in the user manual. If it is supported, then check the settings: press the button on the right side of the steering wheel to enter the menu, find the 'Instrument Display' option, where there's usually a toggle for speed display—it might have been turned off. Alternatively, the vehicle software might need an update; a quick trip to the dealership for an upgrade could solve it. Hardware issues should also be considered—loose wiring in the dashboard or a faulty screen would require professional repair. Regular maintenance is crucial; periodic checks of the electronic systems can prevent minor issues from becoming major safety hazards. Whenever I encounter this, I always try restarting the car first—most software glitches resolve after a reboot, which works surprisingly well.

It's quite common for Volkswagen's digital speedometer to malfunction, and I've encountered it while driving. Simply put, try pressing the menu button on the steering wheel a few times to see if you can find the display options to switch over. It might have been accidentally turned off, or the software could be lagging—turning the car off and restarting it often solves the issue. If that doesn’t work, your model might not support digital display, so check the manual or search online for the specific model’s configuration. Safety first—don’t fiddle with settings while driving, as it can be distracting and lead to accidents. Additionally, the digital display is clearer than the analog one, especially during night driving, and more accurate and convenient, so getting it fixed quickly is important. Regular maintenance and avoiding unnecessary setting changes can prevent other malfunctions that might affect your driving experience.

Don't worry if you can't bring up the digital speedometer, many Volkswagen models have this feature. The main operation involves using the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the menu and find the speed display option, then simply turn it on. Occasionally, software bugs may occur, but restarting the car or performing a system update can usually fix the issue. It's important to note that whether the model supports this feature is a prerequisite, as lower trim versions may only have an analog speedometer. The advantage of digital display is its more intuitive and precise reading, especially convenient at high speeds—I always use it to monitor speed for safety first. Remember to adjust it only when the car is stationary to avoid risks. Don't worry too much about minor issues with electronic components; simple troubleshooting usually resolves them without major problems.
