The steps to turn on the heating in a Passat are as follows: 1. The base version of the Passat comes with manual air conditioning, while the high-end version features automatic air conditioning. For models with manual air conditioning, simply adjust the air conditioning to the heating mode to activate the warm air. 2. For models with automatic air conditioning, set the desired temperature, and the system will automatically blow warm air. 3. The automatic air conditioning system will adjust itself based on the interior temperature. Below are some key functions related to the Passat's controls: (1) Defogging: There are buttons for front and rear windshield defogging. Press the corresponding button to activate the defogging function for the windshield. (2) Heating: Turn the knob to the high-temperature indicator area to deliver warm air. When using the heating function, make sure to turn off the A/C switch. This is because the A/C compressor is only used for cooling, while the heating is provided by the coolant temperature and the heat from the heating element. (3) AUTO: Press the AUTO button, and the air conditioning system will automatically maintain a stable interior temperature without manual adjustments. Whether cooling or heating, or adjusting the fan speed, the system intelligently makes the necessary adjustments. (4) Recirculation/Fresh Air: Recirculation mode keeps the interior air enclosed, while fresh air mode allows air exchange between the inside and outside of the vehicle. Use recirculation mode in congested areas or environments with poor air quality. However, do not use recirculation mode for more than one hour at a time; switch to fresh air mode to maintain healthy air quality. (5) Temperature Zone Synchronization: With the temperature zone synchronization function, changing the temperature setting for the driver's seat will synchronize the settings for the other zones. Disabling this function allows each zone to be set individually, catering to the preferences of passengers in different seats.
