How to explore the secret menu of the onboard computer on a Volkswagen Up! 2016-2021

Model: Volkswagen Up MK 1 - Years 2011-2024
Part: Onboard computer

Don't worry because it's easier than you think. In fact, to explore the secret menu of the on-board computer on the Volkswagen Up, just follow a simple trick. First, turn on the car and make sure the dashboard is on without starting the engine. Then on the steering wheel, press and hold the OK button, the one in the center of the directional arrow, for about 10 seconds. Once done, hidden options will appear on the dashboard display that will allow you to view additional information, such as more detailed consumption data, battery temperature, and other advanced technical information. To exit this menu, simply press the OK button again. Remember that some options may not be visible unless you have a specific version of the system or certain settings activated. If you don't feel comfortable operating in do-it-yourself mode, contact an expert.
