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.
Important Safety Instructions and Warnings,
which you must read, are listed on the last panel under HYBRID INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, HYBRID FUNCTIONS & MODES.

Digital E-Power MeterTo stay in electric mode, keep an eye on the digital E- Power meter in your multifunction display.As you accelerate under electric power, you will see the horizontal gauge move closer to the E-Max setting.When the gauge reaches E-Max, the electric motor is operating at full power. The gas engine will then activate to provide more power.To help increase fuel efficiency*, keep the gauge under E-Max to stay in electric mode.*See back cover for mpg information.

The green area
(while coasting or braking) — the
battery is charging. Note that the vehicle does not charge at OFF or while completely stopped.The blue area
(economic driving) — the vehicle is using
either the electric motor or the gas engine, depending on the battery’s charge level.The white area
(acceleration or driving at high
speeds**) — the vehicle is powered by the gas engine.The BOOST area
(hard acceleration) — the vehicle is
using both the electric motor and gas engine.**Always obey speed and traffic laws.
