Video tutorial

In this video, we can see how to modify the settings on the display of a Volkswagen Golf 6 that does not have a multifunction steering wheel (MFSW = Multi function Steering Wheel). We will therefore have to use the button located on the bottom left side of the instrument panel: we will press it three times and see that the indication of kilometers (or miles) flashes at the bottom of the central display.

Now we press the button on the opposite side of the dial that says "00/set" and switch from kilometers to miles or vice versa. From here, we scroll and reach the speedometer, then the time and all the functions that we need to modify.
