As said, get used to having autohold on all the time. It is great tech and works especially well with dsg. A little counter intuitive to start with, but absolutely worth the trouble.

The only time I would turn Auto-Hold off is when manouvering into a tight space, when using the brake pedal to control the 'creep' like with a torque converter auto. Taping the throttle can be a bit jerky if you only want to move a few inches.

Oh, yes. I do that when putting my car in (or out of) the garage. Thanks for adding!

The only time I turn it off is when I am stopped in traffic at night and pull on the handbrake instead to stop whoever is behind from getting arc eye  :grin:

Just pulling on the handbrake does it.

I've looked and looked on OBDeleven to see if there was a way of changing the way the brake light stays on when your foot isn't on the pedal but I had no luck.

I do that same as JB GTi at night.

+1 for that, override AH with a flick of the handbrake at night

For the OP, it really is one of the most to use things about the Golf and I would be surprised if anyone would actually need to look at the manual regarding this function!
