2020 Passat Quick-Start Guide

Welcome to Your 2020 Volkswagen Passat

This Quick-Start Guide offers a brief introduction to the most important features of your 2020 Volkswagen Passat. Designed for ease of use, this guide serves as a supplementary tool alongside the comprehensive Owner’s Manual and Infotainment System Booklet. Users are urged to consult these documents for detailed information and safety warnings. The Quick-Start Guide is valuable for quick reference to understand various essential functions and features.

Driving and Vehicle Management

The Driver Information Display is easily accessible once the ignition is on. It shows trip computer data and allows the control of multiple vehicle functions through the multi-function steering wheel. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) ensures your tires are always at the optimal pressure. Should the tires require inflating, you’ll need to press the SET button inside the glove box for two seconds after adjusting the inflation to reset the TPMS.

Comfort and Convenience

Depending on your model, the Passat is equipped with either an Automatic or Manual Climate Control system to maintain your desired cabin temperature. For convenience, a Remote Start feature is available (if equipped), which allows the engine to start from outside the vehicle using the key fob, activating the HVAC system to adjust the cabin temperature before you enter. Additionally, unlocking and opening the Trunk Lid is made easy with the pull of a trunk lid release lever.

Technology and Entertainment

The intuitive Infotainment system is at your fingertips with hard keys and touchscreen buttons, providing control over the radio, media, phone operations, and the optional Navigation system.

Controls at Your Fingertips

The steering wheel of the Passat houses various controls for ease of access while driving. The Left Side Controls feature buttons for the Cruise Control system and audio volume adjustments. The Right Side Controls include a Voice Control button for accessing the Voice Recognition system, a Phone Button to display the phone main menu and manage calls, and a set of arrows and OK Button for navigating through instrument cluster features.

Please note, the Passat offers a range of Driver Assistance technologies designed to ensure your safety on the road. While these systems are highly sophisticated, it’s critical to maintain focus on the road and avoid distractions.

To benefit fully from these features, Volkswagen encourages all drivers to familiarize themselves with the Quick-Start Guide but reminds users that it is not a substitute for the Owner’s Manual.
