Convenience 13
Auto Hold default on
Auto Hold stays on after starting if you had it on last time, so you do not need to keep your foot on the brake at traffic lights.

Doors locking from a set speed
The doors lock automatically once you drive off above a low speed and unlock again when you switch off the engine.
Parking brake on automatically at switch-off

Unlock when selecting P
On a DSG automatic, the doors unlock by themselves as soon as you put the selector in P.
Works together with automatic locking.
Register a new battery
After replacing the 12 V battery we register the new battery with the correct type and capacity, so charging and start-stop work properly.
Tailgate: set key-press delay

Mirror dip on reverse
When you select reverse, the passenger mirror tilts down so you can see the kerb. It returns once you drive off.

Condition: Memory mirrors
Service interval setting
After servicing we reset the service reminder correctly and set the right interval (fixed or flexible).
SFD release for protected modules
Newer VAG models only allow coding after an online release per module. We arrange that session, for which the car must be online; if the release does not come through the function cannot be coded and we charge nothing for the attempt.

The car remembers whether you had switched the start-stop system off, so you do not need to press the button on every trip. The final setting is agreed together.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Favourite button on the steering wheel
The favourite button on the multifunction steering wheel is enabled, so you can assign a frequently used function.

Climate 3
A/C: max instead of eco

Set whether the front parking sensors switch on by themselves at low speed and up to which speed camera and sensors stay active.

We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.

Safety 2
Brake lights flash in an emergency stop
