Finally updated Altrek received a single safety complex (IQ. Drive), which combines such useful things as: the system of emergency braking, tracking, automatic valet, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise and proprietary autopilot.

As before, the Passat Altrek can be equipped with electronic XDS inter-axle differential locking simulation on both axles and adaptive DCC chassis. The latter has also undergone a slight upgrade, gaining a wider range of adjustments: comfort has become even more comfortable and sportier.

Under the hood of the Volkswagen Passat Alltrack are only 2-liter engines. Gasoline with 272 hp. 350 Nm and a diesel in two boosts of 190 and 240 horsepower. The transmission is a 7-DSG.

2014 Volkswagen Passat Owner’s Manual — Questions and Answers

How do I check and maintain the brake fluid level in my 2014 Volkswagen Passat?

The fluid level in the transparent brake fluid reservoir must always remain between the MIN and MAX markings. The level drops slightly during normal use as brake pads wear and brakes self-adjust. If engine components block your view of the reservoir, have an authorized Volkswagen dealer or service facility check it for you. Owner’s Manual, p. 236

What is the fuel tank capacity of a 2014 VW Passat?

The manual section provided covers the gearbox and steering systems only and does not include fuel tank capacity information. Owner’s Manual, p. 226

What does the yellow area on the cruise control screen mean on a 2014 VW Passat?

The yellow area displayed on the Rear Assist screen stops about 2 yards behind the vehicle on the road. It shows the parking space orientation to help guide you while backing up. Owner’s Manual, p. 250

What safety gear and precautions do I need before working with the 2014 Volkswagen Passat battery?

You must wear eye protection and protective gloves. Never tilt batteries as acid can spill through vents. Do not smoke or create sparks when charging, as the battery produces highly explosive hydrogen gas. Never work on the electrical system unless you have correct technical information and proper tools. Owner’s Manual, p. 299

How far can I drive a 2014 Volkswagen Passat before service is required according to the reminder display?

The distance shown in miles or kilometers on the service reminder display indicates the maximum distance you can drive without completing service. A minus sign means service is already overdue. Owner’s Manual, p. 16

What is the difference between a weight-carrying and weight-distributing trailer hitch for the Passat?

A weight-carrying hitch is the only type approved for the Passat. Weight-distributing or load-equalizing hitches must never be installed on your Passat because the vehicle was not engineered for them. Installing a weight-distributing hitch risks hitch attachment failure, potentially causing the trailer to tear loose from the vehicle. Owner’s Manual, p. 144

Why is my 2014 Volkswagen Passat experiencing reduced braking performance?

Excessive water in the brake fluid can cause vapor lock during heavy braking, reducing stopping power and potentially causing complete brake failure. This happens because water lowers the brake fluid’s boiling point. Have your brake fluid checked immediately by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or service facility. Owner’s Manual, p. 236

Where is the steering column lock located on a 2014 VW Passat?

The steering column lock is part of the steering column itself. On vehicles without Keyless Access, it engages when the vehicle is stationary and the key is removed from the ignition switch. Owner’s Manual, p. 225

How can I tell if pinch protection is working on my 2014 Volkswagen Passat windows?

If the window meets resistance during one-touch closing, it will stop and go back down. This automatic reversal confirms pinch protection is active and functioning to prevent pinching injuries. Owner’s Manual, p. 62

Can you drive a 2014 Volkswagen Passat after using remote start?

No. If the engine was started with remote start or is running in remote start mode, you cannot drive. You must first switch off the remote-started engine using the vehicle key or starter button, then start it again normally with the key in the ignition lock or the starter button. Owner’s Manual, p. 209

When should I initialize the Passat sunroof?

Initialize the sunroof whenever the vehicle battery has been disconnected or is dead, as the sunroof must be reinitialized after battery service. Owner’s Manual, p. 67

What’s the difference between trip memory 1 and trip memory 2 on a 2014 Volkswagen Passat?

Trip memory 1 records data for a single trip, while trip memory 2 tracks total trip data. Both memories store information used to calculate average speed and travel time. You toggle between them using the OK/RESET button on the windshield wiper arm. Owner’s Manual, p. 19
