1. Start-up Specs Just for You
Press the start button, and the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit comes alive, welcoming you by name. It can even activate your (and up to three other drivers’) preferred settings, from memory seat and mirror positions to driver profile selections (such as heating and air conditioning settings and available Driver Assistance settings) to your favorite radio station.
2. Dial Within a Dial
To display even more information, the speedometer and tachometer dials can be configured to show an inner dial. Here you can see additional information, including navigation instructions, estimated fuel economy and range, speed, and available Driver Assistance features.
3. Make a Call
The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit works with select compatible smartphones to display all your contacts and your recent call history in the center section of the screen. Scroll down, click to highlight, and you can make a hands-free call.2
4. Off-Road View
The all-new Atlas is built to take you along the road less traveled. So when you select the off-road view,3 the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit will display the angle of your front wheels and show your direction on a compass. There’s even an altimeter to show how high you’re climbing.
5. Warning!
If a pedestrian is headed into the vehicle’s path, Atlas’ available Pedestrian Monitoring (included in Front Assist) can help detect the pedestrian and alert you.4 An alert is presented on the screen in your line of sight.
6. Classic View
For those times when you just don’t want so much information, simply select Classic View. This gives you the traditional full-size speedometer and tachometer dials.
The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit is a standard feature of the 2018 Atlas SEL Premium. It will also be available on the upcoming 2018 Tiguan.
