New Driver

[Vagophile]

I have owned my used Cali for nearly 6 months now without being able to use it as it should be. Consequently, I am still finding out things to do with lots of operational matters.
Yesterday, as I was driving, I noticed the statement "New Driver" in the display in the instrument cluster on the dash panel.
I have scoured the owner's manual to try to find out more about this without success.
Can anyone tell me what it relates to?

Ok, guess i missed that in the first weeks , been driving it for 8y now so that won't show up anymore as i'm not suppose to be a new driver .

But what is it meant to tell me? And how does a machine sense a new driver?

Different ignition key? One of older cars held electric seat settings for each driver etc in the key...but can’t say I’ve seen this on a T5.
