What does your dash display when you turn off the car?

[way]

Hi, my GTI displays this when I turn off the ignition. I tried looking it up in the manual and it appears to be related to the dead lock. Is this the message when you turn off the car? If not, anyone knows what this mean? Thanking in advance.

Found these in a Skoda forum - appears to be same for Polo

1. It's briefly explained in the small supplementary manual with 2011 model year cars. It's just a message to say that the car has deadlocks i.e. once you lock the car it can't be unlocked by using an interior door handle. The exact message depends on whether the car has the maxidot display or not.


2. A double press of the lock button diables the interior sensors.
Cars buily from November 2010 have this instruction coming up on the display. It isn't on my October built 2010 Superb but is on my wifes April built 2011 Octavia.
Once press of the button puts the car automatically in the deadlocked position meaning you can't open the doors from the inside.
2 presses knocks off interior sensor and you can still open the doors from the inside.
The way the doors lock is unchanged, just the message in the display as far as I can see.

I don't get that message, just stays on for a few seconds showing the last stuff that was displayed before I switched the car off.

Thanks to all that confirm this is normal.

Yeah I read in the supplementary manual about the dead lock and not being able to open from inside. Pretty scary stuff if you think about it!

I also did not know what this message was so very handy to know. I guess much will be revealed after I begin reading that pesky manual. Also attempted turning those DRLs off in accordance to the manual's instructions but I'm yet to be successful.
