Fatigue Detection system

The fatigue detection system is being introduced for the first time in a Volkswagen and is a first in its class.  It detects waning driver concentration and warns the driver with an acoustic signal lasting 5 seconds, visual signal also appears in the instrument cluster recommending the driver takes a break from driving. The warning is repeated in 15 minutes if driver does not take break.

BlueMotion Technologies

BlueMotion Technologies includes a revolutionary start-stop system that automatically shuts off the engine when the car is stationary, a regenerative braking system which recycles braking energy and optimised rolling resistance tyres.  TDI Passats feature this new system which increases driving range and lowers fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Dynamic Light Assist

The new Passat is the first car in its class to have Dynamic Light Assist.  Where the system registers oncoming traffic or vehicles driving ahead it automatically fades out the high beam area in which other road users could be dazzled making manual switching between dipped and main beam headlights a thing of the past.

Premium media functionality

The Passat TSI 118kW and TDI 103kW Trendlines come with Multi-Function Display Plus and RCD 310 Radio CD system with single CD provision.  The TDI 125kW Comfortline models have RCD 510 Radio CD system with large high resolution colour touch screen, 6-disc CD changer, MP3 and is WMA file compatible.  Provision for Bluetooth with handsfree profile and a multimedia socket with iPod adapter cable is standard across all models. 

Panoramic Sunroof

The new Passat's panoramic sunroof is 300 percent larger than a conventional sunroof.  The front section of the two-part roof extends and can be electrically tilted or opened completely.  The thermally insulated glass absorbs 99 percent of the sun's UV radiation and the roof is also equipped with an electrically powered sunshade.  The panoramic sunroof is available as an option across all models.
