How to Find and Manage Light Settings in the Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

In the Volkswagen Golf, light settings are managed directly from the central screen. With the ignition on, access the vehicle menu using the physical CAR button next to the display and open the light settings section, where both automatic functions and internal lighting adjustments are gathered. In this menu, on the Volkswagen Golf VII, there is a section dedicated to light assistance: here you will find options such as switch-on time, automatic headlight control in specific conditions (e.g., rain), convenience turn signal, and travel mode, useful for adapting the beam for driving in countries with opposite traffic. Scrolling down, the Volkswagen Golf has a section for interior lighting, where you can adjust the cabin lights. The video shows that from here you can adjust the lighting of instruments and controls, door background lighting, and footwell lighting, with a level adjustable via slider/percentage. Finally, in the light settings of the Volkswagen Golf, you will find the Coming/Leaving Home function, which activates the lights when you arrive or leave the car.
