Manually switching the DSG gearbox into caosting mode

Hi
Is there anyway to switch the DSG gearbox on my 2023 VW polo into coasting mode myself ? it just seems to do it when it feels like it not necessarily when i would like it to.

many thanks for any replies

Re: Battery on my 2023 Polo R line seems to loose voltage very quickly

I installed the Dashcam myself and the backup battery for it is fed from the cigarette lighter socket which is dead when the ignition is off so no chance it is the cause of the battery drain

Re: How do i check if the sortware and sat nav info is up to date

How does the car know where it is if it is not using the satnav info in the background also the road signs have been taken down but the car slows down as if they are still in place

How do i check if the sortware and sat nav info is up to date

Hi
I have a 2023 Polo R line and wondered how i check if the cars and the Satnav software is up to date, as i am getting speed restrictions slowing me down when the speed restrictions have been lifted a long time ago
If they are out of date how do i get it updated to the latest versions.
Many thanks ...
