The Passat's dashboard settings are quite straightforward. I usually start by pressing the VIEW button on the left side of the steering wheel to switch display modes. The dashboard will then show different layouts, such as Classic, Sport, or Full-Screen Navigation mode. I prefer the Navigation mode for easier map viewing while driving. Then, press the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel to confirm, and you can also customize the displayed content like fuel consumption, remaining range, or music info. In the central control screen, find the Vehicle Settings menu and enter the Digital Cockpit option to change the theme color. I recently switched from blue to amber for a more comfortable look. If you need to reset maintenance reminders or similar functions, you'll need to access the hidden menu: turn off the engine, hold the 0.0 button at the lower right corner of the dashboard, and then start the car. It's best to perform these operations when parked, as fiddling with them while driving can be distracting—especially avoid doing so on highways.

Press the VIEW button on the steering wheel to switch dashboard modes - each press cycles through different layouts intuitively. I frequently adjust the range and fuel consumption data, using the steering wheel scroll wheel to position key information prominently. For tire pressure warnings or maintenance reminders, press the CAR button to access the menu for reset/calibration. A little-known feature: holding the SETUP button for 10 seconds enters engineering mode to adjust maximum brightness, preventing glare during night driving. Personalized themes can be changed via the infotainment screen's vehicle settings - I recommend dark backgrounds to minimize reflections. When displaying full-screen navigation, it's advisable to disable redundant driving information to avoid visual clutter. Regularly checking if settings have reset is also a good practice.

Can Rearview Mirrors Be Repainted?

Rearview mirrors can be repainted. Carefully inspect the damaged area; if the damage exceeds one-third of the component, an over-repair method should be used for restoration. Waxing: Waxing is divided into direct waxing and polishing waxing. Direct waxing involves cleaning the car body and applying wax directly to the clear coat on the surface of the paint. Polishing waxing, on the other hand, requires using a polishing machine to polish the paint surface before applying wax. This method can instantly make the car look shiny. Glazing: Due to the composition of the glaze, it is not resistant to acid and alkali cleaning and can be easily damaged. It typically lasts only 1-3 months, and glazing can harm the car paint, requiring reapplication every two to three months. Crystal Coating: Crystal coating is a hard protective layer specifically designed for the care of key areas such as the car's paint surface, seats, interior and exterior trim, glass, and tires. It comes in quick-drying and slow-drying types, mainly determined by the primary ingredients. Film Application: Car coating is a highly protective measure that can brighten the paint surface while also providing multiple effects such as resistance to acids and alkalis, high temperature resistance, strong waterproofing, oxidation resistance, and UV protection.
