Get Driving Mode Selection Guide for Volkswagen Jetta 4 Door Seventh Generation (2019-2025)

If the cruise control system (CCS) is also active: if the saved speed is exceeded.

In addition, if Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC ) is switched off: if the speed is slower than approx. 80 km/h (approx.

50 mph).

Or: The brake is pressed.

If the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is also active: if the saved speed is exceeded.

Downhill speed control deactivates automatically

When the gradient decreases.

If the transmission upshifts because the maximum engine speed of the function has been reached.

If the cruise control system (CCS) is also active: if the saved speed can be maintained.

If the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is also active: if the saved speed can be maintained.

WARNING

The downhill speed control is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. The

downhill speed control cannot detect all driving situations and may not react, or may react with a delay, or may react in a

way that is not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents due to unintentional vehicle movement. This can

cause serious or fatal injuries.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the

vehicle.

Be aware that the downhill speed control cannot hold the vehicle on the incline or brake sufﬁciently going downhill

in every situation, for example if the ground is slippery or icy.

Always be ready to brake, in particular if the ground is slippery or icy.

Manually brake the vehicle if the vehicle moves faster despite downhill speed control.

Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and trafﬁc conditions.

Driving Mode Selection

Introduction

Via the driving modes, the driver can

adapt various properties of vehicle

systems to the current driving situation,

the desired driving comfort, and for an

economic driving style. The suspension,

steering, drive, and the air conditioner

are some of the vehicle systems that

can be adjusted.

Different driving modes are available depending on the vehicle equipment. The inﬂuence of vehicle systems on the individual

driving modes depends on the vehicle equipment.

Vehicles with adaptive chassis control (DCC)

During the drive, the adaptive chassis control (DCC) adapts the suspension damping to the current ground and driving

situation. The DCC also incorporates the suspension tuning of the selected driving mode.

Selecting the driving mode

The driving mode can be selected when the ignition is switched on and the vehicle is stationary or while driving.

Selecting the driving mode while driving

If you select a driving mode while driving, the vehicle systems, except for Drive, will be switched over to the new driving mode

immediately.

1. When the trafﬁc situation allows it, brieﬂy take your foot off the accelerator pedal to enable the newly selected driving

mode to be applied to the Drive vehicle system as well.

WARNING

Adjusting driving modes while driving can distract from trafﬁc. This can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

Always drive attentively and responsibly.

Driving mode properties

The Eco driving mode switches the vehicle to fuel-efficient operation and supports the driver with an fuel-saving

driving style. The transmission automatically shifts to E in the Eco driving mode.

The Comfort driving mode provides a

comfort-oriented vehicle setup and is suited for long trips, for example.

The driving mode is only available in vehicles with DCC.

The Normal driving mode shows the basic settings of the vehicle systems and offers a balanced calibration, for

example for everyday use. The Sport driving mode gives the driver a sporty feel. If the Sport driving mode is selected,

vehicles with an automatic transmission switch to S.

With the Custom driving mode, you can adapt individual vehicle

systems according to your preferences.

Standard behavior of the driving mode and the vehicle systems

202

The Normal driving mode represents the basic settings for the vehicle systems when the ignition is switched on.

Behavior of the driving mode when switching the ignition off and on

For vehicles with Mode button: If you switch the ignition off and then on again, the previously selected driving mode remains

selected.

For vehicles with ECO mode: If you switch the ignition off and then back on, the Normal driving mode is set.

Behavior of the Drive vehicle system when the ignition is switched off and on

mode and the vehicle systems.

Messages about driving

General driver information

Anticipatory driving

An inconsistent driving style increases consumption. When the driver actively pays attention to trafﬁc, this can prevent

frequent acceleration and braking maneuvers. Maintaining enough distance to the vehicle driving ahead helps you to drive

with better anticipation.

Avoiding Harsh Acceleration

Excessively high speeds increase the rolling resistance and air resistance and with that, the power needed to move the

vehicle. Never drive at the maximum vehicle speed.

Checking tire pressures

Low tire pressures cause wear as well as increased rolling resistance of tires, and this increases consumption. Use tires with

optimal rolling resistance.

Adapt the tire pressures to the load:

Follow the speciﬁcations on the tire pressure label ⇒ Checking the tire pressure.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System ⇒ How the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Works .
