In this video, see how to check the state of charge (SoC) of the battery in a Volkswagen Golf MK7 using the instrument panel display. This function allows you to check the estimated charge level.

So, sit in the driver's seat. In front of you is the "0.0" button; turn on the ignition and hold the button until you see the indication regarding the battery charge.

Here, it is naturally at zero, as the car's engine is off, but if we start it, we will see the battery charge status and can monitor it at any time with ease.
