294 I While driving

The cruise control system (CCS) is able to main-tain an individual set speed at forward speeds be-tween approx. 30 km/h (19 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph).
The CCS slows the vehicle only by easing off the accelerator, not by actively braking. The CCS can-not maintain a constant speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle speed can Increase under its own weight. Shift down gear and brake the vehicle using the foot brake &.
Additional information and warnings:
• Changing gear 260
• Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts '*page 394
A WARNING
The use of the cruise control system (CCS) can lead to accidents and serious Injuries if traffic does not allow you to drive at a safe distance from the vehicle In front at a con-stant speed.
Indicator lamp
A WARNING (Continued)
• Never use the CCS In heavy traffic, with Insufficient distance from the vehicle ahead, on steep or winding roads, or on slippery road surfaces e.g. on snow, Ice, wet roads, loose chlpplngs or flooded roads.
• Never use the CCS when driving off-road or on unsurfaced roads.
• Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
• Always switch cruise control off after use to avoid unintentional operation.
• it Is dangerous to use a set speed that is too high for the prevailing road, traffic or weather conditions.
• The CCS cannot maintain a constant speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle speed can Increase under its own weight. Shift down a gear or brake the vehicle using the foot brake. ro First read and observe the Introductory information and safety warnings & on page 295.

r--('n First read and observe the introductory L-J,:.U information and safety warnings & on page 298.
A radar sensor is fitted to the front bumper to moni-tor the traffic situation 240 @.Vehicles trav-elling ahead can thus be detected up to a distance of approximately 120 m.
The efficacy of the radar sensor can be impaired by contamination such as slush or snow. or by en-vironmental conditions such as heavy rain or spray. This means that the adaptive cruise control (ACC) also will not work. The instrument cluster display shows the message ACC: No distance con-trol ! . 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.
A WARNING (Continued)
• Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.
CD
Failure to observe illuminated indicator lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle be-Ing damaged.
m When the adaptive cruise control (ACC) is L!..J switched on, some system-related displays on the instrument cluster can be overwritlen by other functions, e.g. incoming telephone calls. Strong reflected radiation of the radar signal, e.g. in multi-storey car parks, can impair the function of the adaptive cruise control (ACC).
The area in front of and around the radar sensor ® must not be covered by objects such as stick-ers, auxiliary headlights, face plates for number plates or the like, as this can impair the function of the adaptive cruise control (ACC).
Any structural modifications to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the vehicle or making alterations to the front end trim, can impair the function of the adap-tive cruise control (ACC). Structural modifications should therefore always be carried out by a quali-fied workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Incorrectly performed repairs to the front end of the vehicle can alter the position of the radar sensor and therefore impair the function of the adaptive cruise control (ACC). Repair work should therefore only be carried out by a qualified workshop. Volks-wagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealer-ship for this purpose.
CD
Switch off the adaptive cruise control (ACC) If you suspect that the radar sensor has been damaged or is incorrectly positioned. This can help to prevent secondary damage. Have the radar sensor realigned.
• The radar sensor could be moved if it is hit, for example in parking manoeuvres. Readjust-Ing the sensor could impair the performance of the system or cause it to be switched off. 11>

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. .,.

m When Front Assist is switched on, the display L!J in the instrument cluster can be overwritten by displays related to other functions, e.g. an in-coming telephone call. Radar sensor
