Sunroof only operates when the ignition switch is turned on. The sliding roof opens together with the sunroof and can be manually closed when the sunroof is already shut. Using the remote key outside the vehicle, press and hold the lock button on the remote key.

I've been driving the new Passat for several years, and the sunroof setting is actually quite simple. First, park the car on a level surface and keep the engine running to ensure stable voltage. Then, press and hold the upward arrow on the sunroof control switch for about 15 seconds. The sunroof will automatically open fully and then close completely. Release the button when you hear a click or the movement stops. I often use this method, especially after replacing the battery when the sunroof malfunctions—it works like a charm. After setting, test the sliding and tilting functions to ensure smooth operation. Remember, never perform this operation while driving, as it can easily lead to accidents. The new Passat's design is quite user-friendly, and regular resets can prevent minor issues. I recommend doing this every six months or when you notice reduced sensitivity. Safety first—make sure there are no obstructions in the way inside the car.

I'm a car enthusiast and have studied the sunroof mechanism of the Passat. Initialization requires holding the switch's upward button for 10 to 15 seconds. The control module resets after the sunroof completes its full motion. The engine must be running to avoid power interruption causing a mid-cycle stop. If it still sticks after setting, check for poor switch contact or debris on the tracks. Regular maintenance with lubricant can extend its lifespan. Newer models have added anti-pinch functionality; ensure this is effective by testing via the mobile app or central control. To prevent aging, reset it once a year or before the rainy season.

Before setting the sunroof on the new Passat, ensure the vehicle is in ignition mode; do not operate while the engine is off. Hold the switch upwards for 15 seconds to allow automatic operation and reset the position. After completion, test to ensure it is tightly closed to prevent water leakage. Regular adjustments enhance driving safety and prevent unexpected halting midway. Engine operation ensures more stable signal transmission.

Simply put: Start the car, press and hold the sunroof switch's upward button, wait for the sunroof to complete a full cycle and stop, then release. It takes about 10 seconds. After that, you can use the sliding or tilting functions normally. If the sunroof still doesn't work after resetting, the switch might be faulty or there could be a wiring issue—check the fuse. The new Passat's sunroof requires regular maintenance to prevent noise.
