In this video, see how to activate or deactivate the start & stop system on the Volkswagen Golf 7. The procedure is very simple as there is a button next to the gear lever, on the left side of the centre console, to deactivate and activate the start & stop.

This procedure is useful when the battery is low or in situations where the start & stop would hinder smooth driving, or for those who want to disable it simply to avoid overloading the battery and starter motor.

The start & stop system does not operate with a flat battery.
