The button is inside the boot. On the right next to the lever that drops the seats down.

On my wife’s A3 you can change driving modes but it doesn’t really do anything other than cause the DSG box to use lower gears. On my Passat GT with DCC, Dynamic steering and DSG the mode button is useful as it changes the characteristics of suspension, steering and gear changes. I think the usefuln...

I have the retractable towbar on my b8 estate, its ace. I ordered it as a factory option. At the time i was also looking at second hand Passats, the VW dealer offered to fit the retractable tow bar to the car i test drove, i think it was going to cost about 1200.

The well-appointed Passat SE Business models build on the S level specification with impressive levels of comfort and practic...

I have a 2018 GT 2.0 TSI and this has driver mode selection as standard. The 2.0 TSI comes with Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) as standard, so it might be related to that... it this is accessible via the single driver mode button. Push the button and you can select the profile from the central touchs...
