Volkswagen Passat Instrument Cluster ensures that the driver is always aware of all the essential driving information, which is presented in a very small panel right behind the steering wheel. It mainly aims at providing clear readings on speed, engine revs, and fuel level, and also revealing icons for seat belts and exterior lights, among other warnings, to ensure that the driver is always alert without being distracted. The first prototypes of the Instrument Cluster were simply using analog dials and bulbs, which was an easy layout that also reflected the existing trend in the automotive industry of bare and simple gauges on padded dashboards. With the development of dashboard technology in the 1990s and 2000s, the same cluster in the Passat had brighter backlighting, more accurate stepper motors, and airbag indicators and real time fuel economy indicators, which were also indicative of the general trend towards safety and economy in modern Volkswagen interiors. Newer designs have incorporated sharp digital displays with traditional needles, combining the familiarity of the mechanical pointers with the ability to reconfigure information as needed through an electronic display that can be reconfigured on the fly, all within the current Volkswagen design language. Although the style has changed, the fundamental workings are still the same. Sensors on the car pass the data to a central unit, which then drives the visible gauges and lights, providing direct feedback when the fuel runs out, the speed is slowly increasing, or there is a fault with one of the systems. Since this feedback loop is an essential part of ensuring safe motoring for every Volkswagen driver, maintaining the Instrument Cluster in its original state is as paramount as refueling or measuring tire pressure.
