Its bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights comes with automatic headlight activation with “Leaving Home” and manual “Coming Home” functions, and exterior mirror with environment lighting to assist drivers in dark areas. An addition to this system is the headlight washer system for convenience and improved visibility.

Enhanced entertainment features

The new RCD330G head unit offers a wide range of connectivity options through a capacitive touch display, single CD player (WMA/MP3 compatible), USB and iPod interface, AUX-IN support, SD card slot, and Bluetooth connectivity for mobile and audio streaming. Volkswagen’s MirrorLink function in the new Jetta simplifies smartphone operations, making it more convenient and hands free for drivers.

Five-year Roadside Assistance

The new Jetta comes with an exclusive 24-hour, 365-day a year emergency roadside assistance service, manned by a team of experienced multi-lingual staff who will provide assistance in the event your Jetta becomes immobilised. The service is available in Peninsular Malaysia (excluding islands, except Langkawi and Penang), and in East Malaysia within 25km of Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, Lahad Datu, Tawau, Sibu, Bintulu, Miri, Kuching or on the island of Labuan.
