2 Answers
The method to turn off the air conditioning in a Passat is to press the AC button on the air conditioning panel below the central control screen. Taking the 2020 Business Edition Passat (China VI) as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4933mm, width 1863mm, height 1469mm, wheelbase 2871mm, fuel tank capacity 66L, trunk capacity 521L, and curb weight 1455kg. The 2020 Business Edition Passat (China VI) features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, maximum torque of 250Nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Having driven a Passat for over a decade, I'm very familiar with its air conditioning operations. Turning off the AC is quite simple - just locate the button with the AC symbol on the control panel and press it until the indicator light goes off. Alternatively, if there's a power symbol or OFF button on the panel, you can press that directly. I recommend lowering the temperature setting before switching it off to avoid uncomfortable temperature differences, which is especially helpful for long drives to save fuel and protect the engine. After turning off the AC, the engine load decreases, reducing fuel consumption by about 10%. Remember to open windows for ventilation and regularly clean the filters to prevent odors. These daily habits have helped me avoid many car issues and extend component lifespan.
