What does the VIEW button mean on a Volkswagen car?
2 Answers
The VIEW button in a car is used to switch between different information display interfaces on the dashboard. In other words, pressing this button allows you to toggle the information displayed on the dashboard. This button is typically located on the steering wheel as part of the multifunction controls, designed for the driver's convenience. Below are some driving tips: 1. Check mirrors: Always use turn signals and decelerate when turning or changing lanes, and be sure to check the mirrors before turning. Left turns mainly require checking the left mirror, right turns the right mirror, and both left and right turns require checking the interior rearview mirror. 2. Don't focus only on the front of the car: When driving on clear roads, look straight ahead about 100 meters and avoid staring at the immediate front of the car. 3. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there's no need to press the clutch first; wait until the speed drops to around 20 km/h before depressing the clutch. 4. Steering: Turn the steering wheel slowly at high speeds and quickly at low speeds.
When I drive my Volkswagen, I often use the view button, a small button on the steering wheel. Pressing it allows me to switch between different driving information displays on the dashboard, such as average fuel consumption, remaining mileage, and driving time. On the highway, tapping the view button to check fuel consumption data helps me save some money on gas. During city commutes, switching to the remaining mileage display lets me know when to refuel, avoiding breakdowns midway. Some newer models can even switch to navigation prompts, making it safer by reducing the need to constantly look at the center console screen. If you're not sure how to use it when you first get a new car, you can visit the 4S store and ask a technician to set it up—it's simple, convenient, and practical.
