Volkswagen Golf Owners Manual: Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ An economic driving style
→ Driving in a fuel-efficient mannerFuel consumption, environmental impact and wear on the engine, brakes and tyres depend largely on three factors:
- Personal driving style.
- Conditions of use (weather, road surface).
- Technical conditions.
A few simple measures can help save fuel by up to 25%, depending on how you drive.
Active cylinder management (ACT®)
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, the vehicle may have active cylinder management (ACT®).
Active cylinder management (ACT®) can automatically deactivate individual engine cylinders in driving situations that require low power consumption. When a cylinder is deactivated, no fuel is injected into that cylinder, which can lead to an overall reduction in fuel consumption. The number of active cylinders can be shown in the instrument cluster display .
