Preface:
From the factory, Volkswagen unfortunately did not give the Passat a button to
activate and deactivate the Traction Control System (TCS). Fortunately, the
vehicle does have the ability to turn it on and off, its just lacking the button
(and a few other things to make it functional). If you want to give your Passat
a button to turn on and off the traction control, USP has you covered. For your
convenience, we put together a kit with all necessary parts for an easy
installation.
