Inside the crossover is very much the same as the hatchback ID.3: the same three-spoke steering wheel with touch buttons, the main display (10 or 12 inches, depending on the configuration) is also turned to the driver, instead of the selector of driving modes – a similar rotary knob on the right of the digital dashboard.

There is nothing on the central tunnel, unlike the majority of modern cars, except for cupholders and long closable niche. The atmosphere in the cabin is created by ambient lighting and a huge panoramic roof section (optional). Another feature of the ID.4 interior is a diode strip under the windshield, which changes color and flicker frequency depending on navigation instructions or electronic assistant warnings.

The rear row is equipped with an armrest, air vents and – optionally – its own “climate zone”. The backrests of the rear row are folded in the ratio of 60:40, there is a hatch to transport long objects. When fully folded, an even platform is created. The compartment itself (behind the backs of the rear row) has 543 liters, and the folded back row can increase the useful volume to 1575 liters.

The list of available equipment for electric car includes Travel Assist, blind spot monitoring system, parking sensors in front and behind, and all-around cameras. You can also get 21-inch wheels, adaptive shock absorbers DCC, projection display with augmented reality function, front seats with electric adjustments and heating, multimedia system with voice control and support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless charging for smartphone.

2020 Volkswagen ID.4 Owner’s Manual — Questions and Answers

Why did my 2020 VW ID.4 lose all its Infotainment settings?

If your 12-volt battery was completely discharged or replaced, system settings such as time, date, personal convenience settings, programming, and user accounts may have been changed or deleted. You’ll need to check and correct these settings once the 12-volt battery has been sufficiently charged. Infotainment system controls and displays, p. 32

How do I know if the 12-volt battery is working properly on my 2020 VW ID.4?

If the 12-volt battery is faulty or damaged, visit a qualified workshop to have it checked. Various indicator lamps may light up after reconnecting the battery and switching on the ignition, but they will go out automatically. 12-volt vehicle battery, p. 324

What equipment is needed to use Park Distance Control on a 2020 VW ID.4?

Park Distance Control requires sensors located in the front and rear areas of the vehicle to detect obstacles during manoeuvring and parking. Park Distance Control, p. 186

What conditions should I check before using cruise control on a 2020 Volkswagen ID.4?

Do not use cruise control in heavy traffic, on steep or winding roads, on slippery surfaces like snow, ice, wet roads, or loose chippings, and never on flooded or unpaved roads. Ensure your speed and distance from vehicles ahead suit visibility, weather, road, and traffic conditions. Always switch off the system after use. Cruise control system, p. 147

What should the upper battery charge limit be set to on the ID.4 for daily driving?

Volkswagen recommends setting an upper battery charge limit of 80% in the charging settings for everyday driving when a long range is not required. Charging settings in the Infotainment system, p. 280

What’s the difference between regular and anti-freeze washer fluid?

Regular washer fluid is a mixture of clean water and commercially available washer fluid combined according to packaging instructions. Anti-freeze washer fluid includes a special anti-freeze agent added to the mixture, which prevents the fluid from freezing at low outside temperatures. Service fluids and consumables, p. 316

Can I customize the order of options in the Exit menu on my 2020 Volkswagen ID.4?

Yes, you can change the order of displayed options in the Exit menu. Touch the edit button, rearrange the options into your preferred order, then touch the edit button again to confirm. Infotainment system controls and displays, p. 33

Where is the sensor for keyless access on the 2020 Volkswagen ID.4?

The sensors are located inside and outside the door handle. Touch the sensor on the inside of the door handle to unlock, or on the outside to lock the vehicle. Keyless locking and starting system “Keyless Access”, p. 78

What does it mean when the ventilation opening on my 2020 Volkswagen ID.4 battery is on the positive terminal side?

The ventilation opening must always be on the negative terminal side. If it is on the positive terminal side, it must be sealed. This is a safety requirement for the 12-volt vehicle battery. 12-volt vehicle battery, p. 324

How do I turn off automatic activation for Park Distance Control on my 2020 Volkswagen ID.4?

To disable automatic activation, press the touch control for parking functions, then touch the function button in the Infotainment system and deactivate the function. Automatic activation occurs only once per session; switching the ignition off and back on allows it to trigger again if enabled. Park Distance Control, p. 187
