2006 Volkswagen Jetta Owner’s Manual — Questions and Answers

What type of coolant additive and concentration do I need to fill my cooling system?

Use a mixture of water and at least 40% Volkswagen coolant additive G 12 or an additive meeting specification IT-VW774 F, which is purple in color. The concentration must always be at least 40%, even if frost protection isn’t required. For greater frost protection in very cold climates, you can increase the additive to 60%, which provides protection down to -40° F (-40° C). Never exceed 60% concentration as it reduces both frost protection and cooling effect. Owner’s Manual, p. 364

Can I use the windshield washer on my 2006 Volkswagen Jetta in freezing temperatures?

You should not use the front wiper/washer in freezing weather without first defrosting the windshield. The washer solution may freeze on the window and reduce visibility. Before operating wipers in cold weather, ensure the blades are not frozen to the windshield to prevent damage to the blades and wiper motor. Owner’s Manual, p. 256

What do I need to install a cellular phone in my 2006 Volkswagen Jetta?

You need an outside antenna for optimal range and to prevent interference with vehicle electronics. The transmitting power must not exceed a maximum of 10 watts. Installation should be performed only by a qualified workshop or authorized Volkswagen dealer. Owner’s Manual, p. 350

Where is the coolant expansion tank located on a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta?

The coolant expansion tank is located in the engine compartment. The exact position is shown in the engine compartment overview found in Booklet 3.3 ‘Technical data’. Owner’s Manual, p. 365

What is the difference between DOT 4 and SAE J1703 brake fluid for my 2006 VW Jetta?

Both specifications are acceptable for your vehicle. You must use brake fluid that meets SAE specification J 1703 and conforms to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 116, or brake fluid with the specification US standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4. The correct fluid is listed on the label of the brake fluid reservoir. Owner’s Manual, p. 369

What does the illuminated symbol on the Jetta’s rear window safety switch mean?

An illuminated symbol indicates the rear door power window buttons are disabled (off). When the symbol is not illuminated, the rear window buttons are active and operational. Owner’s Manual, p. 242

How do I find the tire pressure settings for my 2006 VW Jetta?

Locate the tire pressure label on the open edge of the driver’s door. The label displays your tire size, the recommended cold tire pressure for front and rear tires measured in kPa and PSI, and the spare tire pressure. Use these values when checking and filling your tires. Owner’s Manual, p. 374

How long do the wipers continue after using the washer on my 2006 VW Jetta?

When you pull the windshield wiper lever toward the steering wheel to activate the washer system, the wipers will continue to wipe for approximately 4 seconds after you release the lever. Owner’s Manual, p. 256

Why isn’t my cruise control working anymore?

The cruise control may not operate if the selector lever is in P, N, or R. Ensure the lever is in D or another valid driving gear. Additionally, the system switches off automatically if you exceed about 110 mph (180 km/h). If the vehicle speed drops below 18 mph (30 km/h), cruise control cannot function. Check that you’ve activated it by pulling the lever toward the steering wheel to the first detent—the CRUISE symbol should light up in the instrument cluster. Owner’s Manual, p. 311

Where is the fuel filler cap located on a 2006 VW Jetta?

The fuel filler cap is accessed through the fuel filler flap, which is located at the rear of the vehicle on the right rear quarter panel. Pull the release button in the driver door to open the flap. Owner’s Manual, p. 351
