Before Driving Your Jetta Hybrid
There are a few things you should know before taking your new hybrid out for a spin

press the Start/Stop button in the center console (or turn
the ignition key, depending on your vehicle's trim).

Functions & Features
Important Safety Instructions and Warnings which you must read, are listed on the last panel under HYBRID DRIVE.
Before leaving your vehicle
Your Jetta Hybrid includes a special safety feature.
Suppose your vehicle is in READY mode and the vehicle
is in Park or Neutral:
• If the driver disconnects the safety belt or opens the
door, the gas engine will turn on.
• When the driver opens the door, a warning chime
will sound. That's because the electric motor is so silent,
you may not be aware that the vehicle is operable.
