How to use Cruise Control in the Volkswagen Passat?

Model: Volkswagen Passat 3BG, B5 - Years 1996-2005
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this tutorial we can see how to use Cruise Control in the Volkswagen Passat, a very simple and fast operation. This system should only be used on fast-flowing roads and in the absence of obstacles. First of all, we arm the Cruise Control by moving the lever selector on the left to the "ON" position, then we reach the desired speed, press the "SET" button on the steering wheel and release the accelerator. To increase or decrease the speed, simply use the "RES" and "SET" buttons respectively. To pause the system, we can either press the "Cancel" button or use the brake, while to deactivate it completely, we need to move the selector to the "OFF" position.
