I've been driving for almost ten years and have encountered many issues with the auto start-stop function. The Volkswagen Golf's feature is designed for fuel efficiency, automatically shutting off the engine when stopped and restarting it when moving, but in city traffic with frequent stops, it can actually waste fuel and create noise. Turning it off is simple: after each ignition, reach for the button near the center console, usually marked with an 'A' or the start-stop symbol. Press it, and the indicator light will turn on, indicating temporary deactivation. Remember, this isn't a permanent disable—you'll need to press it again each time you drive. From my experience, it's best to turn it off during city driving to avoid the constant engine noise. Also, regularly check if the button is stuck to prevent unexpected malfunctions that could affect your drive.

As an average driver, I find the auto start-stop function quite annoying sometimes, especially in areas with frequent traffic lights. The method to turn it off is simple: right after starting the car, locate the small button on the left side of the dashboard marked with an 'A' icon, and press it gently. The button light will then illuminate, indicating the system is deactivated until your next drive when it defaults back on. I always do this to avoid unnecessary engine restarts. If you can't find the button, refer to the illustrations in your owner's manual. Keep in mind this feature puts some strain on the battery, so turning it off can be more reassuring. Just be mindful of the button's response while driving to avoid excessive presses that might damage it.

What does 100 mph mean?

100 mph = 100 miles = 100 km/h = 100 kilometers per hour. Driving speed: There are two ways to express the driving speed of a car, one is "kilometers per hour (Km/h)", and the other is "miles per hour (MPH)". Generally, Japanese and Korean car models and most European car models are accustomed to using "kilometers per hour" to indicate speed, while the North American market usually uses "miles per hour" to indicate speed. As for domestic car models, including most imported models, they all use "kilometers per hour" to indicate speed. Origin of the term "mph": The common saying of how many mph a car is going originates from the speed unit "mile". Originally, one mile equaled 1 mile per hour, which is approximately equal to 1.6 kilometers per hour when converted to the metric system. Later, the metric system became internationally common.
