Because the handbrake button is a release button, pressing it will disengage the rear wheel lock. Therefore, you should not press the button when pulling the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Below are some precautions regarding handbrake operation. Do not pull the handbrake too tight: The handbrake mechanism is a ratchet system. Pulling it too tight can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable, which is irreversible. This deformation will increase the handbrake's travel distance and also affect its braking force. Precautions when releasing the handbrake: When releasing the handbrake, you need to apply a slight upward force to the handbrake while pressing the button, then fully release it. Due to the unique tooth profile of the ratchet, when engaged, the pawl is not easy to lift directly. The ratchet needs to rotate slightly further in the turning direction to smoothly disengage the pawl.

Why is there no air coming out of the rear vents of the Passat?

The reasons why there is no air coming out of the rear vents of the Passat are as follows: 1. Blower motor failure: The car's blower motor is a crucial component for the air conditioning system to blow air. If the air conditioning compressor fails during use, the car's air conditioning will definitely not blow air. Overheating damage to the internal coil or capacitor failure of the blower motor are significant causes of blower motor failure. You can turn the car's air conditioning to the maximum and listen for the sound of the blower motor. 2. Clogged air filter: The air filter is a common and important factor that can cause the air conditioning to stop blowing air. During operation, the car's air conditioning system absorbs many impurities from the air, leading to a clogged air filter. 3. Control system failure: If neither the blower motor nor the air filter is the cause of the air conditioning not blowing air, it might be due to a malfunction in the air vent, air conditioning computer, or control switch. Control system switches generally do not fail, so it is recommended that the owner visit a 4S shop for inspection, as this will make the troubleshooting process simpler.
