What is the function of the set button in the Passat?

The function of this button is that if the tire pressure light comes on while driving, pressing this button can reset the tire pressure light. Below is more information about the Passat: Introduction: The Passat is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG in Germany. It is classified as a B-segment car in the Volkswagen lineup. Passat B6: In 2005, the Passat B6 was launched in the market. Volkswagen changed the traditionally conservative design concept of the Passat, adopting the latest B-segment platform, PQ46, and appropriately adding sporty elements. Passat B7: This is the seventh generation of the Passat brand sedan. It was introduced to the domestic market with an extended length of 100mm. It incorporates Volkswagen's new minimalist style, with exterior design inspired by the new Volkswagen Phaeton. The bumper design has been altered, a pointer-style clock was introduced in the center console, and the GPS navigation module was upgraded, giving it a more stable and sophisticated feel.
The SET button in the Volkswagen Passat is primarily used for the cruise control system. While driving, you first turn on the cruise switch, then press the SET button to lock the current speed as the cruising target, allowing the car to maintain a steady speed without needing to press the accelerator. This feature is particularly convenient for highway or long-distance driving, as it helps reduce fatigue. The operation is simple—accelerate to your desired speed, press SET, and the system will automatically take over throttle control. If the SET button fails, possible reasons include a faulty button or poor circuit contact. It's recommended to first check the fuse or visit a professional repair shop. Remember, the SET button is usually used in conjunction with the RES (resume) button, allowing you to restore the previous settings even after stopping. Having driven a Passat for several years, this feature has helped me save a lot on fuel costs and time.
