Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you can see when it is advisable to use or deactivate the Start & Stop system on the Volkswagen Golf; the same applies to other models such as the VW Tiguan, T-Roc, Passat, Polo, and T-Cross. The Start & Stop system aims to reduce fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions.

This system activates during prolonged stops by shutting off the engine and automatically reactivates when the driver presses the clutch pedal or lifts their foot off the brake in the case of an automatic transmission. Most cars equipped with this system have a button that allows you to deactivate the Start & Stop system if you prefer not to use it (as it may drain the battery), as it is considered annoying.

Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
