The seat heating switch for the Passat is located on the right side of the steering wheel, at the far left of the center console switch assembly. Here is some relevant information: 1. Exterior: The new Passat is built on the MQB platform, with an overall design that is more imposing than the Magotan. The front grille is larger, and the nearly 5-meter body length, combined with a fastback design, makes the vehicle appear more elongated. The LED taillights at the rear are a standout feature, with excellent display effects, and the use of numerous horizontal lines creates a coupe-like feel. 2. Interior: The new Passat offers a fresh experience, with a fully digital instrument panel that has three styles for free switching, comprehensive functionality, and a strong sense of technology.

The seat heating switch in the Passat is actually quite noticeable. In my 2020 model, it's located on both sides near the rear of the gear lever. Take a closer look at that row of buttons, and you'll find the one with a seat pattern and wavy lines - pressing it to activate the red light indicates heating is on. Higher trim models can even adjust the heating intensity through the central control screen menu. For newer models with touch panels, look for the row of icons below the air conditioning area and tap the seat symbol. This feature is incredibly practical on cold winter mornings, instantly turning leather seats into warmers. It's advisable to wait a bit after starting the car before turning on the heating to protect the battery and avoid high load on a cold engine.

I drive an older Passat B7, and the seat heating button is among the row of circular knobs next to the gear lever. The one with three red wavy lines is it, and you can adjust the temperature in three levels by turning it clockwise. I remember once a friend in the passenger seat searched for it for a long time—it turns out the base model places the switch below the light control area on the driver's left side. New owners should check the manual for the illustrated location when picking up the car, as designs vary by model year. Personally, I recommend using the seat heating with the ventilation function for more comfort, to avoid sweating on the back.

The newly purchased 2023 Passat integrates its heating switch on the fully touch-sensitive panel. Below the air conditioning temperature display, there is a strip control bar. The third touch key from the left with a seat icon can be activated with a light touch. The central control screen will also pop up a gear adjustment interface, allowing you to change the temperature by sliding directly on the screen. Models with traditional physical buttons usually place them at the front edge of the front center armrest, near the cup holder position. When using, pay attention to whether the buttons have backlighting, as some models require the vehicle to be started and powered on before the icons are displayed.
