How to Display Speed on Passat?
2 Answers
Passat displays speed by first bringing up the trip computer menu, then selecting the digital speed option, and clicking confirm after display. This will show the speed on the trip computer screen. The new Passat is equipped with three engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Taking the high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine as an example, with the model code ea888dkx, this engine has a maximum power of 162kw and a maximum torque of 350nm.
As a young car owner, I often drive a Passat, where the speed is primarily displayed on the dashboard, straightforward and simple. The newer models feature full LCD instrument clusters with large, eye-catching digital displays that allow you to see the speed at a glance. The older models have analog dials with rotating needles indicating the current speed, each offering its own charm. I think the coolest feature is the heads-up display, where high-end models project the speed directly onto the windshield, eliminating the need to look down and get distracted—especially useful for monitoring speed safely on highways. When driving in the city, I habitually check the dashboard to ensure I don’t exceed the speed limit. The Passat’s layout is very user-friendly, with the speedometer placed centrally for easy glances. The speed data comes from wheel sensors and is quite accurate, though minor discrepancies may occur during rainy weather or if tire pressure is low. I recommend new owners explore the infotainment settings to customize the display style. Safety comes first—keeping the dashboard clean and regularly maintaining the sensors ensures more reliable speed readings.
