Engines and Transmissions
Transmission Type Technical Data
The 02Q transmission based on the 02M transmission.
The gearshift shaft, the selector forks with stops in the housing, and the
mounting have been changed.
6-Speed Manual
Transmission 02Q
The transmission has been designed without a speedometer sensor (gets
this signal from ESP control module).
The 02E 6-speed dual clutch transmission is equipped with a hydraulic dual
clutch. It combines the advantages of a manual transmission such as highefficiency, durability, and sportiness with the advantages of an automatic
transmission such as increased comfort with ease of shifting.
6-Speed Dual-Clutch
Transmission 02E
6-Speed Automatic
Transmission 09G
The 09G 6-speed automatic transmission is a compact, light, electronically
controlled transmission for transverse installation. The 2012 Beetle utilizes
the 2nd generation of this transmission. In the development of the
transmission, the main focus was on reducing consumption and reducing
CO2 emissions. As a result of improved damping in the newly developed
torque converter, the car can be driven with less fuel consumption when
the lockup clutch is engaged, even in 2nd gear. Also, the newly developed
linings of the multi-plate clutch and the friction-optimized bearings – in
conjunction with low-friction oil – significantly increase efficiency.

Driver Assistance Systems at a Glance
The Passat has many new driver assistance systems. This SSP will provide a short overview of these systems.
Driver Assistance Systems:
• Front Assist with Autonomous Emergency Braking
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Lane Assist (Lane Departure Warning)
• Blind Spot Monitoring
• Rear Traffic Alert
• Park Distance Control
These systems are described in detail
in the Volkswagen Driver Assistance
Systems SSP 890253
• Park Assist (Automatic Parking Assistant)
None of these Driver Assist systems are
designed to relieve the driver of any
driving responsibilities!

Running Gear
Front Assist Overview
The Forward Collision Warning system is designed to alert the driver when the following distance is less than 0.9 seconds. A
radar sensor in the front bumper is used to detect the distance between vehicles.
The Front Assist system not only alerts the driver audibly and visually, but also has the capability to apply the brakes. The
warning and brake applications occur in four stages:
1. Visual and acoustic warning. Brake system prepares for braking
2. Brake jolt to further alert driver
3. Advanced automatic partial braking
4. Full braking to avoid a collision
9
Running Gear
Adaptive Cruise Control Overview
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system is designed to enhance the cruise control system by altering the vehicle speed to
match the pace of traffic. When there is no traffic, the vehicle will maintain a preset speed, just like cruise control. If the ACC
vehicle comes up on a slower vehicle, ACC will automatically match the speed of the slower vehicle and follow at a preset
following distance. When the vehicle ahead is no longer there, ACC will speed up to maintain the preset speed.
A radar sensor located at the front of the vehicle is constantly scanning to detect objects or vehicles ahead. The ACC
multifunction steering wheel controls or stalk on the steering column allow for activation, deactivation and setting a preferred
distance to the vehicle ahead.
There are two main ACC system designs:
ACC Basic
When the ACC is actively regulating vehicle speed and the vehicle ahead slows, ACC can only reduce the speed to about 12
mph (18 km/h) before ACC speed regulation is deactivated and the driver is prompted to take control by visual and audible
signals. ACC does not reduce vehicle speed to a standstill. The brake pedal must be pressed by the driver to fully stop the
vehicle.

Running Gear
Lane Assist Overview
There are Lane Assist systems with different capabilities. For the 2016 Passat, the Lane Assist will both warn the driver and turn
the steering wheel.
The front camera at the base of the rearview mirror is constantly scanning the road ahead for lane markings. It processes these
lane markings with other signals to determine if the vehicle is staying in the lane or leaving the lane.
s543_021
If the vehicle seems likely to leave the lane without driver input, the system automatically counteracts the steering to keep the
vehicle in the lane. This countersteering is continual and gentle. However, it can be overridden by the driver at any time with
relative ease.
11
Running Gear
Blind Spot Monitoring
The Bind Spot Monitoring system uses radar sensors at the rear of the vehicle to continually scan for traffic next to and behind
the vehicle. It warns the driver when a vehicle is in a “blind spot,” helping to avoid accidents.
Detection Areas
The system has an information stage and a warning stage. If the system detects a potential risk without a lane change being
indicated (turn signal not activated), the driver is informed by the warning lamp in the corresponding exterior mirror housing.
The warning stage is activated if there is a potentially hazardous situation and the driver indicates a lane change by using the
corresponding turn signal.

Running Gear
Rear Traffic Alert Overview
The rear radar sensors used for Blind Spot Monitoring are also used for Rear Traffic Alert. Rear Traffic Alert warns of
approaching vehicles when backing out of a parking spot.
The radar sensors measure the distance and the speed difference between your vehicle and an approaching object and use this
to calculate the time until a possible collision.
13
Running Gear
Park Distance Control 360° Overview
Park Distance Control uses ultrasonic sensors to alert the driver of objects in front of and behind the vehicle when parking or
backing up. In this section we will discuss the system that has 360° visibility.
The 360° PDC monitors and displays the front, rear and sides of the vehicle.
The Infotainment display of the side areas is calculated from the PDC sensors because their scanning does not include the
vehicle sides. Objects that appear on the sides are remembered from the front or rear sensors, and move along the side based
on driving direction, steering angle and the ABS system (distance).
14
Running Gear
Park Assist Overview
Park Assist helps the driver to park a vehicle in parallel or perpendicular parking spots. It controls the vehicle steering while the
driver must control the accelerator and brake inputs.
This semi-automatic parking system allows for perpendicular parking (spaces 90° to the lane) and parallel parking on the right
or left of the lane. It will not only park the vehicle, but can also be used to get the vehicle out of parking spots.
Parking Distance Control (PDC) sensors sense the vehicle and open areas. This system has six sensors, just like the PDC 360°
system. These side sensors are used to detect open spaces when the system is active.
The sensor information, vehicle speed from the ABS Control Module and the steering angle is used to calculate the location of
an open spot relative to the vehicle.
Parallel Parking
Perpendicular Parking
s516_038
s516_039
The Parallel Parking specifications are:
The Perpendicular Parking specifications are:
• Vehicle length plus,
• Vehicle width plus,
• Extra space of at least 1.3 ft (0.4 m) at both the front
and rear for maneuvering and safety
• Extra space of at least 1.1 ft (0.35 m) for maneuvering
and safety
• Maximum speed of 25 mph (40 km/h)
• Maximum speed of 25 mph (40 km/h)

Electrical Systems
Depending on the equipment level, the 2016 Passat
has an alternator with either a 140 A or 180 A output.
This alternator load is controlled by the Data Onboard
Diagnostic Interface J533 using a LIN-Bus network.
The battery is located in the engine compartment for all
models except the V6 engine. The battery for the V6 engine
is located in the luggage compartment.
Electrical Boxes
Three electrical boxes/fuse holders distribute electricity in the
vehicle:
• SA - Located on the front of the electrical box in the
engine compartment. Contains larger, higher voltage
supply cables
Electrical Box with SA and SB
• SB - Located on the top of the electrical box in the
engine compartment. Contains fuses and relays
• SC - Located at the bottom left of the instrument
panel. Contains relays and fuses
To find out the precise location of various
fuses and relays, please refer to the relevant
