What are the hidden functions of the Jetta VS5 car key?
3 Answers
Jetta VS5 key contains a hidden mechanical key with four buttons corresponding to the following functions: ejecting the mechanical key (used when the remote key runs out of battery), locking/unlocking the trunk door, and unlocking the car door. Additionally, the vehicle's remote key can close and open the car windows, which is very convenient, especially in summer when it allows for pre-ventilation of the vehicle to lower the interior temperature and helps promptly close windows after parking. Introduction to Jetta VS5: Positioning: Jetta VS5 is an SUV model featuring Volkswagen's X-design elements on its front face, extending bidirectionally to the hood and lower grille. The side body lines continue Volkswagen's brand design, running through the entire vehicle. Body colors: Available in five options: Lemon Gold, Opera Red, Aroma Gray, Polar White, and Moonlight Silver. Specifications of the 2022 Jetta VS5 Manual Enjoyment Pro: Dimensions: 4419mm (length) × 1841mm (width) × 1616mm (height), with a wheelbase of 2630mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seat compact SUV, launched in November 2021. Engine model: EA211-DJS, maximum horsepower: 150PS, maximum power: 110kW.
After driving the Jetta VS5 for over half a year, I discovered these hidden key features. Holding the unlock button simultaneously lowers all four windows—super handy for cooling down the car in summer. When locking, holding the lock button automatically raises the windows and closes the sunroof, so no worries about forgetting to close them on rainy days. Need to load groceries alone? Hold the trunk button for 3 seconds to open just the trunk without unlocking the doors—perfect for supermarket parking lots. Can't find your car in a crowded lot? Double-press the lock button to make the lights flash and the horn beep. If the key fob's battery dies, pop open the back cover to find a mechanical key for door access. These functions aren't spelled out in the manual but are lifesavers for daily driving.
Last time I helped a colleague move their VS5, I discovered the key has quite a few tricks. The car-finding feature is perfect for unfamiliar parking lots—double-press the lock button, and the yellow daytime running lights will flash rapidly like a strobe. On summer mornings before work, holding down the unlock key on the balcony automatically lowers the windows slightly for ventilation. The remote control has a range of about 30 meters, enough to operate from the second floor of an underground garage. After loading packages, simply hold down the trunk icon on the key to open the tailgate separately without unlocking the entire car. If the remote fails, don’t panic—there’s a small notch on the side of the key; pry it open to find the emergency mechanical key. These designs are quite thoughtful.
