How to Cancel the Start-Stop Function in Golf?

Automatic start-stop cannot be permanently disabled. The engine start-stop system is enabled by default and needs to be manually turned off each time the car is started. The manual deactivation method is as follows: 1. The start-stop button is located at the top left corner near the gear lever, marked with an 'A' above and 'OFF' below. 2. If the engine is already running, pressing the start-stop button again will deactivate it. Information about the Golf model: 1. Advantages: Advanced engine technology, strong power, and overall good quality. 2. Disadvantages: Compact space, not advantageous among peers, with limited rear seat and trunk space.
As a Golf owner, I manually turn off the start-stop system every time before driving. After opening the door and sitting down, I don't rush to start the engine. Instead, I first locate the button marked with an 'A' near the steering wheel, press it gently, and the start-stop icon on the dashboard disappears, indicating it's turned off. This method works for most Golf models, especially during rush hour traffic, preventing the engine from frequently restarting, reducing vibrations, and making driving more comfortable. If the car is a newer model, you might need to find the deactivation option in the settings menu on the central display, but the button is the most convenient. I recommend making it a habit to check the button status every time after starting the car, as the start-stop system automatically reactivates after restarting the engine. This way, the engine won't suddenly shut off during long red lights, making the drive smoother and extending the battery life.
