Energy Flow Diagram
Important Safety Instructions and Warnings,
which you must read, are listed on the last panel under HYBRID DRIVE.
“Energy flow” refers to the direction that energy is moving through your vehicle’s drivetrain. While driving, diagrams in your multifunction and touchscreen displays will show one of five “energy modes,” depending on the direction of the energy flow. Stationary vehicle mode:
No energy flow.
Charge mode:
From wheels to battery.
Electric motor mode:
From battery to wheels.
Engine mode:
From gas engine to wheels (and to battery,
depending on speed and battery charge level). Boost mode:
From combustion engine and battery to wheels.
Using the touchscreenA color-coding system will show you the direction of energy flow through the drivetrain.Press the
CAR
hard key. The screen will default to the
“Energy flow” option. Different modes will display the energy flow to the wheels.

Here are a few hints to help you receive the best mileage* out of your Jetta HybridTips for Fuel-Efficient Driving
Overall power usage:
Keep an eye on the power meter
gauge, and try to drive within the 30 percent power range (blue ECO range).Starting from stop:
Shift into Drive, remove your foot from
the brake pedal, and slowly press the accelerator. Quick acceleration can reduce fuel economy by up to 33 percent on the highway and 5 percent in the city.
1
Everyday driving:
Refrain from heavy acceleration or
braking abruptly. Avoid idling whenever possible.Charging the battery:
Brake early and steadily with short
pedal movements. Let the vehicle coast to a stop.
*See back cover for mpg information.1Driving More Efficiently: Drive Sensibly, www.fueleconomy.gov
Driving on highways and expressways:
Coast as
often as possible when conditions allow. When driving at higher speeds, increased wind resistance reduces fuel economy.Cold weather and frequent short trips:
The engine
does not operate efficiently until it is warmed up. Differences in terrain:
Hilly, mountainous, or unpaved
roads reduce fuel economy.NOTE: When using the AC, set the temperature to 72
o F and press the
AUTO button for greater fuel efficiency.

LEARN MORE ATknowingyourvw.comDriving with the Gasoline EngineYour Jetta Hybrid will use the gasoline engine alone when:Accelerating to or driving at higher speeds.**The battery charge level is low.The gasoline engine will also automatically switch on when:The AC system requires a high amount of power.The engine temperature is cold.More braking power is needed (using the brake booster).
Boost modeDriving under both gasoline and electric power.Your Jetta Hybrid will use the gasoline engine and electric motor at the same time when the accelerator is pressed down completely. This uses a large amount of energy.****Always obey speed and traffic laws.
