Digital voice enhancement
ClJJ Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Using the digital voice enhancement . . . . . . . . 173
The digital voice enhancement (DVE) enables all vehicle occupants to hear each other clearly, even at high speeds. The driver can communicate with the occupants in the passenger compartment with out having to turn around or speak loudly.
The voice signals from the driver are recorded via a microphone in the headliner. Then, the signals are amplified and mixed with the radio or media

Follow the operating manual for your mobile tele· phone and the instructions provided by the acces-sory manufacturer.
You may experience poor reception or may be cut off in areas where the signal is weak.
Most electronic devices are shielded against high-frequency signals. In rare cases, however, it Is pos-sible that electronic devices will not be shielded against high-frequency signals emitted by the rear-seat telephony system. This can cause Interfer-ence.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth technology is used to connect a mobile telephone to the hands-free system fitted In a vehi· cle. Pairing needs to be carried out once only in or-der to use the rear-seat telephony system with a Bluetooth mobile telephone.
Use compatible Bluetooth devices only. Information on compatible Bluetooth products Is available from your Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealer or on the Internet.
Some Bluetooth mobile telephones are detected and connected automatically when the ignition is switched on. For this to happen, the mobile tele-phone and the Bluetooth function in the telephone must be switched on, and all active Bluetooth con-nections to other units must be disconnected.
The Bluetooth connection is free of charge.

A wARNING
Accidents and Injuries can occur If the driver Is distracted. Using the telephone or the rear· seat telephony system can distract you from what Is happening on the road.
• Select volume settings that allow signals from outside the vehicle (such as emergency services sirens) to be easily heard at all times. Comply with legal regulations.
• Your call may be cut off or you may be un-able to make calls If you are In an area with no mobile telephone network coverage, an area where the network Is very weak or, In some cases, In a tunnel, garage or under-pass. This also means that no emergency calls can be made.
• In some countries, lt Is only possible to make an emergency call from the rear-seat telephony system if it is connected to a mo-bile telephone containing a SIM card that is "unlocked" and has sufficient credit.
A WARNING
Any mobile telephone that is not secured or Is incorrectly secured in the vehicle could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre, or In the event of an accident. This could cause Injuries.
• You should never position or attach a mo-bile telephone on a door, on the windscreen or above or near to the areas marked "AIR-BAG" on the steering wheel, the dash panel and the seat backrests, or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. The mobile telephone could cause serious Injury In an accident, especially when the alrbags Inflate.
A WARNING
Always switch off the mobile telephone when filling the tank and in areas with a risk of ex-plosion. Electromagnetic radiation can gener-ate sparks which can In turn start a fire.
• The mobile telephone can automatically log Itself Into the mobile telephone network again If the Bluetooth connection to the rear-seat telephony system has been Interrupted. I>

Adaptive cruise control combines cruise
control and distance control.
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) can help to maintain a speed set by the The adap-tive cruise control (ACC) can also maintain a set time interval to a vehicle travelling ahead. Two fac-tory-fitted versions of the system are available: .,
A WARNING
Failure to switch off the adaptive cruise con-trol (ACC) in the above-mentioned situations can cause accidents and result in serious in-juries.
Special driving situations
A WARNING (Continued)
• Always switch off the adaptive cruise con-trol (ACC) in critical driving situations.

Fig. 243 [Cl A vehicle is changing lanes. [li] Turning vehicle, stationary vehicle.
n"'n First read and observe the introductory L-J,:,.lJ information and safety warnings & on page 298.
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) has physical and system-related limits. As a result, certain adaptive cruise control (ACC) system reactions may occur, from the driver's perspective, unexpect-edly or with some delay. You should therefore al-ways be prepared to take full control of the vehicle if necessary.
The following traffic situations, for example, require particular vigilance:
Deceleration to standstill, only vehicles with dual clutch gearbox DSG®
If a vehicle travelling ahead brakes to a standstill, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) will also brake your vehicle to a standstill. The vehicle is then held stationary by the brakes.
Stationary phase, only vehicles with dual clutch gearbox DSG®
After the adaptive cruise control (ACC) has slowed down the vehicle to standstill, the vehicle is kept stationary for a short period of time. During the sta-tionary phase the driver is prompted to depress the brake pedal 300. If the brake pedal is de-pressed, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) is switched off. If the brake pedal is not depressed within the stationary phase, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) is switched off automatically.
Overtaking
If the tu m signal is activated when starting an over-taking manoeuvre, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) accelerates the vehicle automatically and thus reduces the distance to the vehicle in front.
If you move your vehicle into the overtaking lane and there is no vehicle ahead of you, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) will automatically increase the speed to your set level and maintain it. .,..
Driver assist systems I 305
Acceleration can be stopped at any time by de-pressing the brake pedal or pressing the(@ or @ button on the multifunction steering wheel 302.
When driving through bends
While driving through bends, the radar sensor may sometimes lose the vehicle travelling ahead or may react to a vehicle in the next lane 242 !Al. In such situations, the vehicle might decelerate unnecessarily or not react to the vehicle in front. In this case the driver must override the adaptive cruise control (ACC) by depressing the accelerator, or interrupt the braking procedure by depressing the brake pedal or pressing or @ button on the multifunction steering wheel 302.
Driving in tunnels
The radar sensor function may be restricted in tun-nels. Switch off the adaptive cruise control (ACC) in tunnels.
Narrow vehicles and a zig-zag traffic situation
Narrow vehicles and vehicles travelling slightly to the left or right of your vehicle will only be recog-nised by the radar sensor once they have entered the radar range 242@ This applies in par-ticular to narrow vehicles such as motorbikes. If re-quired, brake the vehicle yourself.
Vehicles with special load or special equipment
Any load or accessories on other vehicles that pro-trude from the side, rear or over the roof of the ve-hicle may not be detected by the adaptive cruise control (ACC) .
Switch off the adaptive cruise control (ACC) when the vehicle ahead has special load or special equipment, or while overtaking vehicles of this kind. If required. brake the vehicle yourself.
When other vehicles change lanes
Vehicles that are very close when they move into your lane can only be detected by the radar sen-sors when they have moved into the sensor range. This means that the adaptive cruise control (ACC) may have a delayed reaction =>Fig. 243@]. If re-quired, brake the vehicle yourself.
Stationary vehicles
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) does not detect stationary objects during a journey, e.g. stationary traffic or a vehicle that has broken down.
306 I While driving
If a stationary vehicle is hidden behind a vehicle that has been detected by the adaptive cruise con-trol (ACC) and this vehicle turns off the road or changes lane, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) will not be able to react to the stationary vehicle 243 [Q]. If required, brake the vehicle your-self.
Oncoming vehicles and vehicles crossing your path
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) does not react to approaching vehicles or vehicles crossing your path.
Metal objects
Metal objects, such as tracks in the road or metal plates used in roadworks, can confuse the radar sensor and cause incorrect reactions from the adaptive cruise control (ACC) .
Possible radar sensor function impairments
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) will switch off temporarily if the radar sensor function is impaired, e.g. due to heavy rain, spray, snow, ice or mud. A corresponding message will appear on the instru-ment cluster display. Clean the radar sensors as required.
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) will automatical-ly be available again as soon as the radar sensors are no longer impaired. The message on the in-strument cluster display goes out, and the adaptive cruise control (ACC) can be reactivated.
Strong reflected radiation of the radar signal, e.g. in multi-storey car parks, can impair the function of the radar sensor.
Towing a trailer
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) operates with reduced dynamics when the vehicle is towing a trailer.
Overheated brakes
If the brakes overheat, e.g. following heavy braking or when driving down steep inclines for long peri-ods, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) may be de-activated temporarily. A corresponding message will appear on the instrument cluster display. lt is then not possible to activate the adaptive cruise control (ACC).
As soon as the temperature of the brakes has de-creased sufficiently, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) can be activated again. The message on the instrument cluster display goes out. If the mes-sage ACC not ava i 1 able does not go out for a long time, there is a fault. Go to a qualified work-shop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswa-gen dealership for this purpose.
Operation

r-f"n First read and observe the introductory L-W! information and safety warnings & on page 312.
Visual display in the exterior Situation mirror housing
The lane change assist system uses radar sensors to monitor the area behind the vehicle. The system then measures the distance and the difference in speed to other vehicles. The lane change assist system is activated at speeds over approximately 10 km/h (6 m ph) and deactivated at speeds under 5 km/h (3 mph). The driver receives infonmation via the visual display in the exterior mirror housing.
Visual display in the exterior mirror housing
The visual displays 248 in the exterior mirror housing notify the driver of following traffic on ei-ther side of the vehicle whenever a traffic situation is classified as critical when the driver intends to change lanes.
Tinted side windows or retrofitted tinting foils can negatively affect or distort the visual displays in the exterior mirror.
