A WARNING (Continued)
• The camera lens enlarges and distorts the field of vision and the objects on the screen will not be depicted as precisely and accu-rately as they are In reality.
• Certain objects, for example narrow posts or railings, may be difficult or Impossible to see on the screen because of its low resolu-tion or poor light conditions.
• The rear view camera system has blind spots within which obstacles and people can-not be detected.
• Keep the camera lens clean, free of snow and Ice and do not cover it.
A WARNING
The Intelligent rear view camera system tech-nology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Careless or unintentional use of the rear view camera system can cause accl· dents and lead to serious Injury. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con· ditions.

Requirements for parking and manoeuvring while using the rear view camera system
Checklist
./ The tailgate must be closed.
./ The camera must give a clear and accurate image, i.e. there must be good visibility and the camera lens must be clean =:o Fig. 233.
./ There must be a clear and unobstructed view of the area behind the vehicle.
./ The rear of the vehicle must not be heavily loaded.
2921 While driving
A WARNING (ConUnued)
• Keep looking In the direction In which you are parking and at the relevant area sur-rounding the vehicle. The front of the vehicle swings out more than the rear of the vehicle.
• Do not allow the Images shown on the screen to distract you from the traffic around you.
• Always monitor the area around the vehi· cle as small children, animals and objects will not always be detected by the rear view cam-era system.
• The rear view camera system may not be able to display all areas clearly.
• The rear view camera system should only be used when the tallgate is fully closed.
CD
• The rear view camera system shows only two-dimensional images on the screen. The lack of depth of field means that potholes and protruding objects on the ground may only be detected with difficulty, or may not be detected at all.
• The rear view camera system may notal· ways be able to detect objects such as thin rails, fences, posts, trees etc. This could result In damage to your vehicle. ./ The driver must be familiar with the system.
./ The vehicle must be undamaged. The rear view camera system must be checked by a qualified workshop if the position or angle of the camera has changed, e.g. following a rear impact.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that you practise parking with the reversing camera in a traffic-calmed area or car park with good visi-bility and weather conditions, so that you can famil· iarise yourself with the system, orientation lines and guiding functions in a safer environment.
Rear view camera system settings
Various settings, including brightness, contrast and colour, can be by touching the relevant function buttons 1j or G. or by moving the corre-sponding slider.
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
• Apply the handbrake firmly.
• Switch on the ignition.

Conditions for starting the adaptive cruise control (ACC)
• The selector lever must be in position D/S or be in the Tiptronic gate. A forward gear, but not first gear, must be selected in the manual gearbox.
• In vehicles with a manual gearbox, the actual speed must be a minimum of 25 kmlh (16 m ph).

When the highest level is reached, the distance re-turns to the lowest level when the button is press-ed again.
The distance level can also be set using the Q or Q buttons on the multifunction steering wheel im-mediately after the(!) button on the multifunction steering Fig. 241 has been pressed.
Select the Settings menu, Assist systems submenu, ACC to set the distance to be used when the ACC is switched on 24.
Setting the gearbox programme
The acceleration response can be influenced by the gearbox programme selected. The programme can be set Using the ACC option in the Assistant submenu in the Settings menu. The following gearbox programmes can be selected:
• Normal
• Sport
• Eco
The following conditions can prevent the adaptive cruise control (ACC) from reacting:
• If the accelerator is depressed.
• If no gear is selected.
• If the ESC is taking corrective action.
• If there is a fault in several brake lights on the vehicle or on a trailer with an electrical connection to the vehicle.
• If the vehicle is reversing.
• System version 1: if the vehicle is travelling faster than approximately 160 km/h (1 00 m ph).
• System version 2: if the vehicle is travelling faster than approximately 210 km/h (130 mph).
A WARNING
If you do not maintain the minimum distance to a vehicle In front and the difference In speed between the two vehicles is so great that the braking action of the adaptive cruise control (ACC) is insufficient, you are In dan-ger of colliding with the vehicle in front. You should reduce the vehicle speed immediately with the foot brake.
• The adaptive cruise control (ACC) may not be able to detect all driving situations cor-rectly.
• Leaving your foot on the accelerator means that the adaptive cruise control (ACC) will not brake automatically. This is because manual acceleration overrides the system.
• You should always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
• Observe country-specific regulations re-garding the minimum distance.
m The set speed will be deleted if the ignition or L!.J the adaptive cruise control (ACC) is switched off.
m The adaptive cruise control (ACC) is auto-L!.J matically deactivated when the traction con-trol system (TCS) is deactivated.
m In vehicles with a start/stop system, the en-L!.J gine is switched off automatically during the stationary phase of adaptive cruise control (ACC) and is then restarted for moving off. Switch off the adaptive cruise control (ACC) temporarily in the following
situations
1""111 First read and observe the introductory L-J,:.IJ Information and safety warnings & on page 298.
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) should be switched off in the following situations due to sys-tem limitations &:
304 I While driving
• When turning off roads, driving around round-abouts, narrow curves, joining motorways, exiting from motorways or driving through road works, to prevent the vehicle from unnecessarily accelerat-ing to the set speed in these situations
• When driving through a tunnel as this situation could impair the system function.
• On roads with more than one lane, if other vehi-cles are driving more slowly in the fast lane. The slower vehicles In the other lane would be overtak-en from the right side in this case.
• In heavy rain, snow or spray as vehicles travel-ling ahead cannot be monitored sufficiently or maybe cannot be monitored at all. .,.
