Where is the anti-skid switch for the 2015 Golf?
2 Answers
The anti-skid system switch is located on the left side of the steering wheel. Here are some additional details: 1. Anti-skid system: The highest form is ESP, which is usually enabled by default when the vehicle is started. To turn it off, you can find the control switch button in the vehicle. 2. Function: This system plays its role on snowy and icy roads, ensuring vehicle stability. When the vehicle encounters icy or snowy roads or makes an emergency turn, it ensures that the vehicle does not move sideways during driving, reducing the impact of road conditions on the vehicle's movement. 3. Indicator light: When the ESP indicator light on the vehicle's dashboard is on, it means the ESP system is not enabled. You need to find the switch button and press it briefly. The dashboard indicator light will disappear, indicating that the ESP is now enabled.
I run an auto repair shop and I'm particularly familiar with the Golf model. For the 2015 version, the anti-skid switch, commonly known as the ESP button, is mainly located on the left dashboard area, right above your knee when driving—just look down and you'll spot a small button with an ESP logo or a car skidding symbol. If you can't find it there, check near the left side of the center console close to the AC controls. The position varies slightly between models; for example, higher trims might integrate it into the steering wheel buttons. So if you can't locate it, grab the owner's manual and carefully review the diagram section. Avoid turning this feature off casually—it’s crucial for preventing skids and loss of control, especially in rainy or snowy conditions. Safety first! When doing routine checks, just make sure the button hasn’t been accidentally pressed.
