The two buttons below the instrument display of the Jetta VS5 can be used to adjust the time. More information about the Jetta VS5 is as follows: 1. The Jetta VS5 is positioned as a compact SUV. The five models are: 280TSI Manual Fashion, 280TSI Automatic Fashion, 280TSI Manual Comfort, 280TSI Automatic Comfort, and 280TSI Automatic Luxury. 2. The dimensions of the Jetta VS5 are 4419mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1616mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630mm. 3. The Jetta VS5 comes standard with LED headlights/taillights, roof rails, 17-inch wheels, etc. Higher-end models also include automatic headlights, 18-inch wheels, a power sunroof, welcome ground lights, etc. 4. The Jetta VS5 is standard-equipped with safety features such as electronic stability control, hill start assist, front dual airbags, rear parking sensors, etc. Higher-end models also offer rear side airbags, curtain airbags, tire pressure monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera.
After driving my Jetta VS5 for several years, setting the time has become second nature. First, make sure the car is powered on—you don’t need to start the engine. Then, locate the button with a gear icon on the steering wheel or center console and press it to enter the menu. Use the directional keys or touchscreen to scroll to ‘System Settings,’ then select ‘Clock Settings.’ Inside, you can adjust the hours and minutes by turning the knob or pressing the +/- buttons. After setting, remember to hit the confirm button to save—otherwise, it’s all for nothing. If it doesn’t respond, check the user manual, as button placements may vary slightly across model years. I usually check the time every quarter since a battery disconnect might reset it, and accurate time is crucial for navigation and dashcam recordings. The first time I did this when the car was new, it felt a bit confusing, but after a few tries, it became easy—memorizing the steps ensures no panic during road trips. I even double-check the time after changing bulbs, making it a habit for peace of mind.
