start stop button VOLKSWAGEN E GOLF 2015 5G / 7.G Owners Manual

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces power efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s respon-sibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Resetting and recalibrating the benchmark tire pressure
Resetting the tire pressures in the Infotainment system resets the benchmark tire pressure used by the TPMS to the current tire pressure in the tires based on the circumference of the tires.

x Press the #!2 Infotainment button ⇒  Menu and system settings (SETUP).
x Tap the

Switching the ignition on and off
x Briefly press the starter button once without operating the brake or clutch pedals ⇒ .
Emergency start feature
If an authorized remote control vehicle key is in the passenger compartment but the instrument cluster displays No key in range when you push the starter button, the remote control vehicle key battery is weak or dead. You can still start the electric motor using the Emergency start feature.
x Make sure the selector lever is in the Park (P) position.
x Hold the remote control vehicle key to the right of the steering column trim immediately after press-
ing the starter button ⇒ fig. 122.

⇒  in Stopping the electric motor
x The electric motor switches off automatically.
If no authorized remote control vehicle key is identified in the passenger compartment after the electric motor has been switched off, the electric motor cannot be restarted. A related message is shown in the instrument cluster display.
WARNING
Unintended vehicle movement can cause serious personal injury.
x Do not depress the brake or clutch pedals when switching on the ignition, as the electric motor could otherwise be activated immediately.
WARNING
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal injury.
x Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. Children or unauthorized per-sons may use it to lock the vehicle, start the electric motor, and operate vehicle systems such as the power windows, leading to serious personal injury.
x Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who cannot help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked using the remote control vehicle key. This could result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. For example, depending on the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
x Heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than the outside temperatures, particularly in summer. Temperatures can quickly reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly to small children.
If the ignition is switched on or the electric motor is activated and the driver door is opened, a chime sounds. The chime is also a reminder to switch off the electric motor and turn off the ignition before leaving and locking the vehicle from the outside.

x The airbags and safety belt pretensioners will not work when the ignition is switched off.
x The brake booster does not work when the electric motor is not activated. More brake pedal pressure will be needed to stop the vehicle.

After the electric motor has been switched off, the radiator fan in the electric motor compartment may keep activated for several minutes, or may start activated after the vehicle has been parked for a while, even if the ignition is switched off and the vehicle key has been removed. The radiator fan shuts off automatically when the electric motor has cooled down enough.

Setting the electronic parking brake
You can engage the electronic parking brake any time the vehicle is not moving - even if the ignition is switched off. Always engage the parking brake when you leave or park the vehicle.
x Pull and hold the button ⇒ fig. 129.
x The parking brake is engaged when the indicator light G (arrow) in the button and in the instru-
ment cluster ⇒  Warning and indicator lights lights up.
Releasing the electronic parking brake
x Switch the ignition on.
x Press the button ⇒ fig. 129. At the same time, press the brake pedal firmly or press the accelerator pedal lightly if the electric motor is drive ready.
x The parking brake is released when the indicator light G (arrow) in the button and in the instru-
ment cluster ⇒  Warning and indicator lights goes out.
Releasing the electronic parking brake automatically when you start driving
The electronic parking brake releases automatically when you start driving if the driver's door is closed and the driver's safety belt is buckled.
Emergency braking function
Only use the emergency braking function in an emergency, when you cannot stop the vehicle using
the brake pedal ⇒  !
x Pull and hold the button ⇒ fig. 129 to brake the vehicle hard. An audio warning signal will sound at the same time.
x To stop the braking maneuver, release the button or press the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
Improper use of the electronic parking brake can cause accidents and severe injuries.
x Never use the parking brake to slow down the vehicle when it is moving, except in an emergency. Braking distance is much longer, since only the rear wheels are braked. Alwa ys use the foot brake.
x Never press the accelerator pedal when a selector lever position or gear is engaged and the electric motor is drive ready. The vehicle could begin moving, even if the electronic park-ing brake is set.
NOTICE
Even though the transmission is in Park (P), the vehicle may move a couple of inches (a few centimeters) forwards or backwards if you take your foot off the brake pedal after stopping the vehicle without first firmly setting the parking brake.
If the 12-volt vehicle battery is dead, the electronic parking brake cannot be released.
You may hear noises when setting or releasing the electronic parking brake.
If the electronic parking brake is not used for a while, an automatic system check will occasional-ly run when the vehicle is parked. This system check makes audible noises.
