The buttons on the right side of the steering wheel control Bluetooth calls, interface switching, trip computer control, and song switching. Locate the cruise control button. The cruise control button is located on the left side of the steering wheel. Press the SET button to successfully activate cruise control, and press the cancel button to deactivate it.
The cruise control operation of the Jetta VS5 is quite straightforward. First, ensure your speed exceeds 40 km/h, then press the cruise control switch with the speed icon on the left side of the steering wheel to activate the system. A white indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard. Accelerate to your desired speed using the throttle, then press the SET button to lock it in—the indicator will turn green. You can then release the throttle, and the car will maintain this speed automatically. To fine-tune the speed, use the up and down arrow keys, adjusting by 1 km/h per press. To temporarily deactivate, lightly press the brake or hit the CANCEL button; to resume the previous setting, press RES. Note that this feature is best suited for highway conditions—avoid using it in city traffic or on winding roads, and always be ready to take control of the steering wheel when needed.
I frequently use the cruise control on my Jetta VS5 for highway driving, and the operation is just three simple steps: After reaching the desired speed, press the cruise button on the left side of the steering wheel to activate the system, and a prompt light will illuminate on the instrument panel; then immediately press the SET button to lock the current speed; afterward, adjust the speed directly using the +/- buttons. Canceling is particularly convenient—just lightly tap the brake to deactivate it automatically, and pressing the RES button will restore the previously set speed. I avoid using cruise control during rainy days or when going downhill, fearing wheel slippage. Another detail: if you hold down the +/- buttons continuously, the speed will keep increasing or decreasing up to the maximum speed limit, which is quite useful for overtaking on the highway.
