Get Seat functions -> Ventilated seats Guide for Volkswagen Passat SUV Seventh Generation (2010-2014)

Never install leather upholstery on a vehicle with seat heating

that originally had cloth upholstery. The seat heating elements

for seats with cloth seats will overheat if the cloth upholstery is

replaced with leather upholstery.

Switch off seat heating when it is not needed to help reduce un-

necessary fuel consumption.

Ventilated seats

Fig. 56 On front seat: Switch for seat ventilation.

¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and

heed the WARNINGS

The seat base and backrest as well as the seat and backrest sides of

the front seats can be ventilated from the inside at 3 ventilation levels

(low, medium and high).

The seat is ventilated with air from the vehicle interior. This helps

body moisture to be wicked away, although the seat is not directly

cooled. This feature does not thermally cool the seat like an air condi-

tioner.

For long trips, Volkswagen recommends setting the seat ventilation

level to low.

Turning seat ventilation on or off

Switch on the ignition.

Push the button ⇒ꢀfig. 56 (1) to turn on seat ventilation for the front

seats. The indicator light in the front seat (3) comes on.

Push the button (1) again to turn seat ventilation off. The indicator

light in the front seat (3) goes out.

Seat heating must be switched on again if needed each time the igni-

tion is switched on.

Setting the ventilation level

Move the fan switch (2) all the way down toward the – symbol to

set the ventilation level to low.

Move the fan switch (2) to the middle position to set the ventilation

level to medium.

Move the fan switch (2) all the way up toward the + symbol to set

the ventilation level to high.

If the indicator light in the front seat (3) flashes, there is a malfunction

in the system. Have the system inspected by your authorized

Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

You may hear the sound of the seat ventilation when the feature

is switched on. The sound is part of normal operation and not a cause

for concern.

Memory seats

¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and

heed the WARNINGS

Depending on vehicle equipment, the vehicle may be equipped with

seat memory functions for the driver seat or for the driver and front

passenger seats.
