Does the Passat have cruise control?
2 Answers
The Passat has cruise control. How to use the Passat's cruise control: The Passat's cruise control buttons are located on the left side of the steering wheel. To pause the cruise function, lightly press the brake; to resume cruise control, press the RES button. Pressing the middle button allows you to adjust the following distance, with five levels to choose from. Passat configurations: The 2021 Passat comes with three engine options: one 1.4T engine and two 2.0T engines, delivering 150 horsepower, 186 horsepower, and 220 horsepower respectively. These three engines correspond to the base, mid-range, and high-end configurations of the Passat.
The Passat indeed comes with cruise control, which is either standard or optional in many versions. I often drive this car myself, and when I activate cruise control on the highway, the vehicle maintains the set speed. I just need to lightly hold the steering wheel, making long trips particularly relaxing. Different models vary: the base version might only have traditional cruise control, while models like the luxury version or those from recent years may include adaptive cruise control (ACC), which automatically adjusts speed based on the vehicle ahead, making it more suitable for congested city driving. Before using it, I first locate the cruise button on the steering wheel, press it to activate, and then adjust the speed using the plus and minus buttons. However, it's important to note that not all model years or variants have this feature, so it's best to check the vehicle manual or contact the dealer for confirmation. Safety first—don’t rely on cruise control in rain, snow, or complex road conditions; manual monitoring is always better.
