Volkswagen E-Golf Owner's Manual

The 2019 Volkswagen E-Golf has more practicality and liveliness than the regular Golf. This electric car provides an all-electric engine in a beautifully compact package. But the exterior doesn’t immediately define it as an electric car, although it does make it quite appealing to introvert drivers. The e-Golf’s large cabin and trunk are just right for four adults, who can drive in comfort for much longer than its battery can run. These aspects make the 2019 Volkswagen e-Golf truly the best electric car in the compact class. The base SE model now has fast constant-current charging and can be supplemented with a new driver assistance package that adds a suite of safety features, including blind spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. And the SEL Premium model now comes standard with this functionality.

2015 Volkswagen e-Golf Owner’s Manual — Questions and Answers

What is the difference between the switchable locking feature and emergency locking feature on my 2015 VW e-Golf?

The emergency locking feature activates automatically during sudden braking or accidents. The switchable locking feature is an additional mechanism on rear seat and front passenger safety belts that you can manually activate to lock the belt webbing in place when installing a child restraint, preventing it from unreeling or tipping to the side. Owner’s Manual, p. 95

What do I need to adjust the child safety lock on a 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf?

You need the key bit from your remote control vehicle key. Unlock the vehicle, open the rear door you want to adjust, unfold the key bit, and use it to move the slot to your desired position. Owner’s Manual, p. 56

Should I check anything on my 2015 VW e-Golf before putting it in gear?

Yes. Before shifting into a drive position, press and hold the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from moving forward or backward. The vehicle may crawl even without accelerating the electric motor. Never shift into Reverse (R) or Park (P) while the vehicle is moving. Owner’s Manual, p. 227

How do I turn off the convenience closing feature on my 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf?

To stop the convenience closing feature that closes the windows and sunroof, simply remove your finger from the lock sensor surface on the outside of the door handle. The function will halt immediately when you lift your finger. Owner’s Manual, p. 52

Why is my 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf air conditioner making the windows fog up?

If recirculation mode is enabled, condensation forms quickly on windows and reduces visibility. Always switch off recirculation mode when not needed. Additionally, if the air conditioner compressor is switched off, fresh outside air won’t be dehumidified, causing fogging. Volkswagen recommends keeping the compressor on by pressing the button. Owner’s Manual, p. 294

Where is the red button to unfasten the safety belt on a 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf?

The red button is located on the buckle. Press it to eject the buckle tongue and release the safety belt. Owner’s Manual, p. 97

How do I know if the sunroof one-touch feature is working?

Press the switch briefly to the second detent to activate automatic operation. The sunroof will move on its own to open, close, or tilt. Press the button again to stop it at any point during the motion. Owner’s Manual, p. 67

Can you walk me through activating the alarm system on an e-Golf?

The anti-theft alarm system activates automatically when you lock your vehicle by pressing the lock button on the remote control key. Once armed, the alarm will sound for about 30 seconds and flash the turn signals for up to 5 minutes if someone tries to force open a door, hood, or rear hatch, or unlocks a door mechanically and doesn’t switch on the ignition within about 15 seconds. Deactivate it by pressing unlock on your key or switching on the ignition with a valid key. Owner’s Manual, p. 53

When should I adjust the recuperation level on my e-Golf?

Adjust recuperation when driving downhill. Increase the recuperation level using the selector lever to reduce speed safely. Never coast downhill in Neutral. Owner’s Manual, p. 229

Can I start my 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf if another key locked it from outside?

No. If the vehicle is locked from outside with a second valid key, any key inside cannot start the electric motor. You must reactivate the inside key by pressing the button on the deactivated key. Owner’s Manual, p. 52
