How to Turn on the Daytime Running Lights on the New Passat

[DelMaverick]

Below are the steps to activate the daytime running lights on the Volkswagen Passat: 1. With the engine off, turn the indicator stalk to the left turn signal and simultaneously pull it inward (the same action as flashing the high beams) without releasing. 2. At this point, you will notice a blue high beam indicator light up on the instrument panel. 3. Without releasing the stalk, press the start button (the ignition-on position) without pressing the brake pedal. 4. Once the ignition is on, the turn signal will start flashing, and after a short while, you will hear a "ding" sound, indicating that the daytime running lights have been turned off. 5. To re-enable the daytime running lights, repeat the above steps, but in step 1, turn the indicator stalk to the right turn signal and pull inward without releasing. Additional information: The purpose of daytime running lights is to make the vehicle more noticeable during daytime driving. Their function is not to help the driver see the road better but to signal to others that a vehicle is approaching. Therefore, these lights are not for illumination but serve as signal lights.
