2 Answers
The method to use the air conditioning in Passat Lingyu 1.8T is: 1. Wait until the engine coolant temperature reaches around 90 degrees Celsius after starting the engine; 2. Press the air volume increase button to boost the airflow; 3. Press the blue cooling button when refrigeration is needed. The Passat Lingyu is a mid-size 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4789mm in length, 1765mm in width, 1470mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2803mm. It is equipped with a 1.8T engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 220 Nm. The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive, with a multi-link independent front suspension and a compound torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I've been driving a Passat Lingyu 1.8T for several years, and using the air conditioning is super simple: After starting the car, press the AUTO button on the center console, and the system automatically adjusts the temperature and airflow—just set the desired temperature with the knob. Want to manually adjust the airflow? Use the +/- buttons to increase or decrease the fan speed. Don’t forget the air recirculation button: use external circulation for fresh air when the outside air is clean, and switch to internal circulation to block exhaust fumes in traffic or polluted areas. If the windshield fogs up in winter, no need to panic—just press the defog mode button. Some models come with a center control screen for fine-tuning vent directions or activating energy-saving mode, making it easy to operate with a tap. Remember not to keep the internal circulation on for too long to avoid oxygen depletion in the cabin, and clean the AC filter regularly to prevent odors and maintain efficient operation. In summer, the cooling is fast, and a fuel-saving tip is to turn off the AC and open the windows at low speeds.
