What Are the Conditions for Activating Volkswagen's Coasting Mode?
1 Answers
The gear selector must be in position D to activate Volkswagen's coasting mode. Method to Activate Coasting Mode: Lift your foot off the accelerator pedal. The engine power is disconnected and idles. The vehicle coasts without engine braking, utilizing its inertia to save fuel through anticipatory driving. With the engine power disconnected and no longer braking the vehicle, it can coast for a longer distance. Precautions When Activating Coasting Mode: Do not coast in neutral. When coasting in neutral, the automatic transmission oil pump stops working due to the gear position, causing all components inside the transmission to lose cooling. This can damage internal parts of the automatic transmission, leading to issues like wheel slippage and posing certain safety risks.
