How to Use the Rear Independent Air Conditioning in Passat?
2 Answers
Open the driver's side door of the Passat. Step on the brake pedal of the Passat to ensure the vehicle is braked. Press the one-touch start button of the Passat to start the engine. Press the AUTO button to turn on the independent air conditioning. Press the AUTO button again to turn off the independent air conditioning.
I just picked up the Passat 380 Luxury Edition last month, and the rear air conditioning is located behind the center armrest. The panel has two knobs, each controlling a separate temperature zone on the left and right. The center of the knob displays the temperature—turning clockwise towards the blue zone cools, while turning counterclockwise towards the red zone warms. Below are four buttons: power, fan speed adjustment, sync, and air purification. To adjust the left temperature alone, simply turn the left knob. If the child sitting on the right feels cold, adjust the right knob separately. My mother-in-law hates direct airflow, so I taught her to press the fan speed button to reduce it to level 1 and then press the purification button to activate negative ions, making it comfortable and odor-free. On long drives, pressing the sync button allows the rear temperature to automatically follow the driver's adjustments up front, which is incredibly convenient.
