Help with 2014 Passat HHC and seat-heater settings?
I figured out the seat heater / car restart question, but my hill hold control confusion remains. Fixing the problem I had that the seat heaters wouldn't turn on when I started the car to the same settings they were at before turning the car off was fixed by either the recent firmware update Ross released for the HEX-NET, or something that changed in the VCDS software between versions 14.9 and 14.10. I'm not sure which of these updatws corrected the problem, because I applied both at the same time. I simply re-saved the "on" values after the updates.
Having read the TDI-Club FAQs, messages in this forum, the Ross-Tech VCDS manual and the results of several Google searches, I still don't entirely understand the differences among the three hill hold control settings, "normal", "low" and "high".
Since the hill hold control can't be entirely disabled on the 2014 Passat, can someone explain the difference between the 3 settings, "normal", "low RPMs" and "high RPMs"? I'm confused between whether low means that HHC is disengaged (lets go of the brakes) at low RPMs or engages (sets the brakes) at lower RPMs than the high setting. Normal seems to cause my 2014 Passat to wait for fairly high RPMs even when stopped on a level street.
Basically, I want HHC to stop "helping" me as soon as possible, because it's a pain in the butt. I just need help understanding whether the "low" or the "high" setting in VCDS will achieve that goal without wasting more fuel than I have already by trial and error...
Thanks for any help!
