Press the ON/OFF button to activate the cruise control system, at which point the cruise control indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate; Accelerate to the desired speed (above 40km/h), then press the SET button. At this point, you can release the accelerator pedal, and the speed will be set at the current speed; Press "RES+" to increase the speed from the current setting, or press "SET-" to decrease the speed from the current setting; Cruise control can be deactivated by pressing the brake pedal, pressing the CANCEL button, or pressing the ON/OFF button.
The cruise control on the 2017 Passat is quite straightforward to use. Once the car reaches the desired speed, simply press the SET button on the left side of the steering wheel, and the dashboard will display the cruise control indicator. To accelerate, nudge the RES button upward; to decelerate, press the SET button downward—each adjustment changes the speed by approximately 2 km/h. If the car ahead gets too close or you need to slow down, stepping on the brake will automatically pause the cruise control. Pressing RES again will resume the previously set speed. This feature is especially useful on highways, as it relieves the right foot from constantly pressing the accelerator, making long drives much more comfortable. There’s also a button on the lower right side of the steering wheel to adjust the following distance, with three settings available to suit different road conditions for optimal safety.
