Jetta VS5 air conditioning panel buttons are introduced as follows: Defogging: There are front windshield and rear windshield defogging buttons. When you press the corresponding button, the defogging function starts working. Heating: Turn the knob to the high temperature indicator area to deliver warm air. In addition, turn off the car's A/C button to save energy. The compressor does not participate in the work when the air is heated, and the air conditioning heating is carried out through the heat of the engine's coolant and the glass heating wire. AUTO: Press the AUTO button, and the air conditioning system will automatically maintain the stability of the temperature in the car without manual setting. Including whether to cool or heat at this time, the size of the air volume will be sensed by the sensor, so as to intelligently adjust.

The air control panel buttons on the Jetta VS5 are quite intuitive. The large round knob is what I use most often while driving - turning it left or right adjusts the temperature. In winter, turning toward the red dot warms it up, while turning toward the blue dot cools it in summer. The AUTO button in the middle is particularly convenient - press it for automatic temperature control without constant manual adjustment. The fan speed buttons beside the knob control airflow intensity with up/down presses. The car icon button with an arrow manages air recirculation - press it during traffic jams to switch to internal circulation and avoid exhaust fumes. My routine is to first press AUTO then adjust temperature, which delivers fast airflow without noise. For more precise control, the central display allows setting airflow direction or scheduling automatic shutoff - a very user-friendly design.

I recently studied the VS5's AC button layout: the large knob in the center with the temperature indicator is the most crucial—rotating it displays the exact temperature value on the dashboard. To the left of the knob are the fan speed adjustment buttons, which allow step-by-step control with a simple press. On the right are the front/rear defogger buttons and a fan-shaped button for switching between internal and external air circulation. The AUTO button is positioned independently above the knob, activating automatic balancing of fan speed and temperature when engaged. After prolonged use, I discovered a few tricks: double-clicking the defogger button quickly activates the rearview mirror heating, while holding the internal circulation button for 3 seconds locks the child safety mode. All buttons feature backlighting for easy nighttime operation, and the matte finish prevents fingerprint marks.

The VS5's air conditioning panel features 6 physical buttons and 1 knob. The largest is the temperature control knob, which allows stepless adjustment to the left and right. The three buttons above are AUTO (automatic mode), windshield defogging, and rear window heating. The three buttons below: the left one controls fan speed (+/-), the middle fan-shaped button toggles between internal and external air circulation, and the right one with a snowflake icon is the compressor switch. When I first got the car, the buttons felt a bit stiff, but after getting used to them, blind operation became very accurate. The central control screen also allows setting dual-zone synchronization. I usually set it to 22 degrees with automatic fan speed. Turning the knob all the way to the left produces hot air, and all the way to the right produces cold air, with very quick temperature response.
