Where is the seat heating off button for the Magotan?
2 Answers
The seat heating off button for the Magotan is located on the air conditioning control panel of the center console. Here are the details about the seat heating function: 1. Usage precautions: Avoid damaging the heating wires inside the seat due to uneven force on the seat, such as stepping on the seat with excessive force. Turn off the seat heating or ventilation in time after parking to prevent excessive electrical load during the next startup. Do not install overly thick seat cushions on heated seats to prevent abnormal overheating or low temperature, which may cause malfunctions. 2. Function: Seat heating provides the driver with a comfortable driving experience. For knitted or velvet seats, the heating function can help dry them when they get damp.
When I first drove the Passat, I also couldn't find the seat heating button. After searching for a while, I finally discovered it's hidden in the rotary knob control area on the left side of the seat. Yes, if you sit in the driver's seat and tilt your head slightly to the left, you'll see the control panel near the outer thigh area with a small heating symbol button or knob—this depends on the model year. Operating it is super simple: the knob usually has markings from 0 to 3, turning it to 0 completely turns off the heating; for buttons, pressing to light it up and pressing again to turn it off works too. I must remind you, turning on the heating in cold winters is quite comfortable, but leaving it on for too long can cause overheating, potentially damaging the seat or consuming too much power, affecting battery life. Volkswagen's design is quite user-friendly, but occasionally the button might not respond, possibly due to poor contact or a fuse issue—just ask the technician to check it during maintenance. If it really doesn't respond, try restarting the vehicle or disconnecting the negative power terminal, safety first. Once you remember the location, turning it on and off as needed during daily driving becomes effortless.
