The rear window heating button on the Lingyu is located on the air conditioning panel of the center console, a rectangular button with a wave pattern. Using air conditioning or opening windows to defog: Ventilating the car is a common method to defog, including using the air conditioning and opening windows. Turning on the air conditioning in cold air mode can help balance the temperature and reduce fogging, while using the hot air mode can promote the re-evaporation of moisture on the glass, also helping to defog. Using desiccants to defog: If you frequently encounter fogging inside the car, you can place some desiccants inside to absorb moisture from the air. Keeping the interior environment dry makes it difficult for fog to form and also helps prevent bacterial growth and mold, benefiting the health of the occupants. Using anti-fog spray: Fogging significantly impacts driving safety, so there are specialized anti-fog sprays available on the market. These sprays are very easy to use—simply spray evenly over the glass to prevent fog from forming. However, the effect of anti-fog sprays is limited, usually lasting about a week, so it's best to spray promptly when fog appears.

When I was driving the Passat Lingyu, the rear window heating button was placed next to the air conditioning control area on the center console. There's a small icon on the button—a rear window with wavy lines, indicating the heating function. After pressing it, the frost or fog on the rear window quickly dissipates, which is especially useful in winter, saving the hassle of constantly wiping the glass. When I first bought the car, it took me a few minutes to find it because it's placed very close to the rearview mirror heating button, making it easy to confuse. However, the icon makes it quite intuitive. Sometimes, if I forget to turn it on, the blurred rear view during driving can be really dangerous, so I've developed a habit of checking it first when getting in the car. If you can't find the button, don't worry—just check the manual or look up a diagram of the model online. Generally, Volkswagen's designs are quite consistent, and this button is always fixed in the same place across the Passat series.

The rear window defroster button is located on the dashboard climate control panel of the Passat Lingyu, marked with a rear window heating symbol near the fan and temperature adjustment knobs. I rely on it to quickly clear rear window fog while driving, especially when taking my family out in rainy or snowy weather—otherwise, my kids sitting in the back can't see outside clearly. It's very simple to operate: just press the button to automatically activate the heating filaments, and the window becomes clear within minutes. Once, a friend accidentally pressed the switch and complained it wasn’t working, but in reality, the system automatically turns off after a while to prevent overheating. A reminder to everyone: regularly clean dust off the button surface, as stuck buttons can cause poor contact. Regular car maintenance helps prevent such minor issues, ensuring safety comes first.

The rear window heating button for the Passat Lingyu is usually located in the right button group of the center console's air conditioning area, marked with a small icon of a rear window and wavy lines. When I first bought this car, it took me a while to find it because I was new to driving and unfamiliar with the layout. Pressing it activates the rear window heating, quickly melting frost on the glass and greatly improving visibility. It's very convenient for daily use, allowing direct operation while driving without needing to stop. Sometimes the button can accumulate dust, causing unstable contact, so I gently wipe it with a cloth to keep it clean. A reminder for beginners: avoid randomly pressing nearby buttons to prevent accidentally turning off the function.
