Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Special driving situations
⇒ System limits
⇒ Switching ACC on and off
⇒ Setting ACC
⇒ Troubleshooting
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
maintains a constant speed that you
have set. When your vehicle
approaches a vehicle that is driving in
front, ACC automatically adapts the
speed to maintain the distance that you
have set.
Driving with ACC
You can override control by ACC at any time. Control will be interrupted if you brake. If you
accelerate, control will be interrupted while you are accelerating and then resumed.
Control by ACC is less dynamic when towing a trailer ⇒. ACC will not perform control if the brake
lights of the trailer are defective.
Brake request
If automatic deceleration by ACC is not sufficient, ACC will request you to brake additionally by a
corresponding message on the instrument cluster. The red warning lamp lights up. An
acoustic warning is also given. Brake immediately.

Speed range
ACC controls the vehicle in the speed range between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 160 km/h (100 mph)
or 210 km/h (130 mph). This speed range may differ in certain markets.
Radar sensor
ACC detects driving situations by means of the radar sensor at the front of the vehicle ⇒ Front 
view. The range of the radar sensor is up to approximately 120 m.
Does the vehicle have ACC?
The vehicle is equipped with ACC if you can make settings for ACC in the vehicle settings of the
Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.
If the vehicle has ACC, the cruise control system is not available as an independent system.
Special driving situations
Fig. 142 On the instrument cluster display: slower vehicle detected in the left-hand lane
(illustration).
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Overtaking
If you indicate left (left-hand traffic: indicate right) to overtake, ACC will accelerate the vehicle and
reduce the distance from the vehicle in front. Your set speed will not be exceeded.
If ACC does not detect any vehicle in front after you have changed lane, ACC will accelerate the
vehicle up to the set speed.
Stop-and-go traffic
ACC can brake vehicles with DSG dual clutch gearbox to a standstill and hold them stationary.
ACC remains active and the instrument cluster display shows ACC ready for a few seconds.
During this time the vehicle will move off again automatically as soon as the vehicle in front moves
off (depending on the vehicle equipment level and not available in all countries).
•Press the button.
•Press the button or briefly press the accelerator.
The intelligent technology used in the ACC cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience tempt you
into taking safety risks when driving. Careless or unintentional use of the Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) can cause accidents and lead to serious injury. The system is not a
substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
•Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
•Do not use the ACC in poor visibility, on steep or winding roads, on slippery road
surfaces, e.g. on snow, ice, wet roads, loose chippings, or on flooded roads.
•Never use ACC off-road or on non-surfaced roads. The ACC is designed for use on
surfaced roads only.
•ACC does not respond to stationary vehicles.
•The ACC does not react to persons, animals or vehicles crossing or approaching in the
same lane.
•Brake immediately if speed reduction by ACC is not sufficient.
•Brake immediately if a request to brake appears on the instrument cluster display.
•Brake if the vehicle starts rolling unintentionally after a request to brake.
•Be prepared to control the speed yourself at all times.
WARNING
®

Functions included in the system
The City Emergency Braking System and Pedestrian Monitoring (depending on vehicle equipment)
are part of Front Assist and are automatically active when Front Assist is switched on.
Warning levels and braking intervention
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Distance warning
The system detects when safety is endangered by driving too close to the vehicle in front. The
warning lamp Lit up Increase the distance.
Speed range: around 65 km/h (40 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
Advance warning
The system detects a possible collision with a vehicle in front or a pedestrian crossing in front of the
vehicle and prepares the vehicle for possible emergency braking.
A warning tone sounds and the warning lamp Lit up Brake or take evasive action.
Speed range: around 30 km/h (20 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
Urgent warning
If the driver does not react to the advance warning, the system may initiate a short braking jolt in
order to draw attention to the increasing collision risk. Brake or take evasive action.
Speed range: around 30 km/h (20 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
Automatic braking
If the driver also does not react to the urgent warning, the vehicle can be braked automatically with
braking force that increases in several stages. The reduced speed means that it is possible to
minimise the consequences of an accident.
Speed range: around 5 km/h (3 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
Braking intervention
If the system detects that the driver is braking insufficiently when there is a risk of collision, the
system can increase the braking force and help prevent a collision. The braking intervention takes
place only for as long as the brake pedal is pressed hard.
Speed range: around 5 km/h (3 mph) to 250 km/h (155 mph).
The intelligent technology of Front Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by
Front Assist tempt you into taking risks when driving. The driver is always responsible for
braking in time.
•If Front Assist issues a warning, brake your vehicle immediately depending on the
traffic situation or avoid the obstacle.
•Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
•Front Assist cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.
•Front Assist can issue unnecessary warnings and carry out unwanted braking
interventions in certain complex driving situations, e.g. at traffic islands.
•Front Assist can issue unnecessary warnings and carry out unwanted braking
interventions when its function is impaired, e.g. if the radar sensor is dirty or its
position has been changed.
•Front Assist without Pedestrian Monitoring does not react to persons. In addition, the
system does not react to animals or crossing vehicles or to vehicles that are
approaching in the same lane.
•If you are unsure whether the vehicle possesses Pedestrian Monitoring, please enquire
about this at a qualified workshop before starting your journey.
•Be prepared to take over control of the vehicle yourself at all times.
WARNING

Traffic Jam Assist
Traffic Jam Assist helps the driver to
keep in lane, and also provides
assistance when following other
vehicles in congestion or slow-moving
traffic.
Traffic Jam Assist is an extension of the lane keeping system (Lane Assist) ⇒ Lane keeping system 
(Lane Assist) for vehicles with a DSG dual clutch gearbox and combines this function with the
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ⇒ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Please therefore read both these
chapters and observe the information about the system limits and warnings.
Traffic Jam Assist function
At speeds under 60 km/h (37 mph), Traffic Jam Assist can maintain a time interval set by the driver
to a vehicle in front and help the vehicle to stay in lane ⇒.
The system automatically controls acceleration, braking, steering and, if required, will decelerate to
a stop behind a vehicle that is stopping, and then drive away again automatically.
Use Traffic Jam Assist only on motorways and good main roads. Do not use Traffic Jam Assist in
urban traffic.
Switching Traffic Jam Assist on and off
Traffic Jam Assist is switched on and off together with adaptive lane guidance ⇒ Lane keeping

Lane change system (Side Assist) incl. Rear Traffic
Alert
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Driving with the lane change system
⇒ Rear Traffic Alert
⇒ Troubleshooting
The lane change system with Rear
Traffic Alert provides assistance for the
driver when checking for traffic behind
the vehicle.
Radar sensors monitor the area behind the vehicle ⇒ Vehicle overviews. The system measures the
distance and speed difference in relation to other vehicles and informs the driver by means of visual
signals in the exterior mirrors.
The intelligent technology used in Emergency Assist cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. The driver is always
responsible for controlling the vehicle.
•Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
•Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time.
•Emergency Assist cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.
•If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the lane
keeping system may be impaired.
•Emergency Assist does not react to persons, animals or vehicles crossing or
approaching in the same lane.
WARNING
If Emergency Assist is triggered unexpectedly, it can result in accidents and serious
injuries.
•If there is a malfunction in the Emergency Assist system, switch off the lane keeping
system (Lane Assist). This will also switch off Emergency Assist ⇒ Lane keeping 
system (Lane Assist).
•Go to a qualified workshop and have the system checked. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
WARNING

The integrated Rear Traffic Alert provides assistance when reversing out of a parking space and
manoeuvring.
System limits
Use the lane keeping system only on paved roads.
The lane change system may interpret the traffic situation incorrectly in the following driving
situations, for example:
•In tight bends.
•When driving in the middle of two lanes.
•When road lanes are of varying width.
•At the brow of a hill.
•In poor weather conditions.
•Where there are special roadside structures, e.g. high or offset crash barriers.
You can save some settings in the user accounts of the personalisation function
⇒ Personalisation.
