Here's how to turn on the cold air in a Volkswagen Passat: 1. Manual Air Conditioning: First, turn on the fan, then press the A/C switch (the light should be on) and adjust the temperature to a suitable level (blue indicates cooling). 2. Automatic Air Conditioning: Press the AUTO button for the air conditioning to work automatically. First, turn on the fan, then press the A/C switch (the light should be on) and adjust the temperature to a suitable level (set the desired temperature). Additional Information: Correct Usage of Car Air Conditioning: 1. Generally, the left button with blue represents cold air, red represents warm air, and the middle represents a moderate temperature. 2. To turn on the cold air, adjust the left button towards the blue area. For warm air, adjust it towards the red area, then press the AC switch. The middle button controls the fan speed, and the rightmost button adjusts the mode, allowing you to direct air to the feet, hands, or windshield, or use two modes simultaneously. 3. The white line on the left adjusts the temperature. If it feels too warm, adjust it to the middle. To turn off the air conditioning without turning off the fan, simply close the middle fan.

To turn on the cold air in a Volkswagen Passat, after starting the engine, I usually rotate the temperature knob on the center console to the blue zone, press the AC button to activate the air conditioning, and then adjust the fan speed to a comfortable level. Remember to adjust the vent direction so the cold air blows directly for better comfort. I regularly check the cabin air filter; if it's too dirty and affects cooling performance, it should be replaced promptly. Volkswagen's air conditioning system is quite reliable, but avoid distractions while driving—test it safely in a parking lot first. If it still feels hot, it might be due to low refrigerant or a compressor issue, so a visit to the service center is recommended. In short, just a few simple steps are enough for daily use.

Before turning on the cold air, I make sure the Passat's air conditioning system is in good condition. After starting the car, I rotate the temperature control knob to the low-temperature position, then press the button marked AC to activate the compressor for cooling. Depending on the situation, I may also turn on the fan to adjust the airflow. It's best to complete this process while parked to avoid distractions while driving. After turning on the AC, check if the air blowing out is actually cool. Using the AC in summer increases fuel consumption, so I often use the recirculation mode to save some fuel. Remember to check the refrigerant during maintenance to avoid minor issues—safety first, and seek professional repair if any problems arise.

Turning on the cold air in the Volkswagen Passat is very simple: After starting the car, I turn the temperature knob towards the blue end, then press the AC button to activate cooling. If stronger airflow is needed, I press the fan speed button to increase it. Adjusting the vent direction makes it even more comfortable. It's convenient for daily use, with quick and effortless operation.
