Driving with E-MODE
In extended electro-mode drive (E-MODE), the electric
motor is used as much as possible.
While the car is in “Drive,” push the E-MODE button in
the center console.
Your Jetta Hybrid will be able to use the electric motor
longer before switching to the gas engine.
The “E-MODE ” icon will appear on the multifunction
display, indicating that E-MODE is active.
E-MODE is available under these
conditions:
You are driving under 42 mph.
The transmission is not in Sport (S) or Tiptronic
®
mode.
The hybrid battery is adequately charged.
If you accelerate too heavily or the battery falls below
a certain charge level, the icon will become smaller,
indicating that e-mode is in standby. After slowing
your speed below 42 mph (or allowing the battery to
charge), push the E-MODE button again to activate.
At higher speeds, or while driving in Tiptronic
®
or
Sport (S) mode, the “E-MODE currently unavailable”
message will appear on the multifunction display.
Important Safety Instructions and Warnings
which you must read, are listed on the last panel under HYBRID INFOTAINMENT, HYBRID FUNCTIONS AND MODES.
