2020 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER roof rack

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.

Washing the vehicle
r-f'n First read and observe the introductory Information and safety warnings & on page 380.
The longer substances such as insects, bird drop-pings, resinous tree sap, road dirt, industrial de-posits, tar, soot or road salt and other corrosive materials remain on the vehicle, the more damage they do to the paintwork. High temperatures (for in-stance in strong sunlight) accelerate the corrosion process. The underside of the vehicle should also be cleaned thoroughly and regularly.
Car washes
Please observe the signs on the automatic car wash. Before using an automatic car wash take the usual precautions, such as closing all windows and folding in the exterior mirrors, in order to avoid damage to the vehicle. You must consult the car wash operator if there are special parts on your ve-hicle such as spoilers, roof luggage carrier systems or radio aerials ::.CD.
The paint is so hard-wearing that the car can nor-mally be washed without problems in an automatic car wash. However, the effect on the paint de-pends to a large extent on the design of the car wash. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recom-mends the use of car washes without brushes.
To remove any wax residue from the windows and to stop wipers rubbing, please note the following points ::.page 382, Cleaning windows and exterior mirrors.
Washing the car by hand
When washing by hand, first soften the dirt with plenty of water and rinse off as well as possible.
Then clean the vehicle with a soft sponge, a glove or a brush using only light pressure. Start with the roof and work from the top to the bottom. Use a shampoo for very stubborn dirt only.
The sponge or glove should be wrung out thor-oughly at regular intervals.
Clean the wheels, sill panels etc. last. Use a differ-ent sponge for this purpose.
A WARNING
Parts of the vehicle with sharp edges can cause Injury.
• Protect your hands and arms from cuts on sharp parts, for example when cleaning the underbody or the inside of the wheel hous-lngs.
A WARNING
After the car has been washed, the braking effect could set in later than normal and ex-tend the braking distance as the brake discs and brake pads will be wet, or iced up In win-ter.
• You can "dry and de-ice" the brakes by performing careful braking manoeuvres. Make sure that you do not endanger any oth-er road users or violate any legal regulations when doing so.
CD
• The water should be no warmer than +so•c (+140.FJ.
• Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight in order to avoid damage to the vehicle palntwork.
• Never clean with insect sponges, rough kitchen sponges or similar products as these can damage the surface.
• Never clean the headlights with a dry cloth or sponge. Always use a wet cloth or sponge. lt is best to use soapy water.
• Washing the vehicle In cold weather: if the vehicle is rinsed with a hose, do not direct the water at the lock cylinders or the gaps around the doors, boot, or bonnet. The locks and seals could freeze.
CD
Observe the following guidelines before driving the vehicle into an automatic car wash in order to avoid damage to the vehicle:
• Ensure that the gap between the guide rails In the car wash is sufficient for the vehicle track. If the track is too narrow your wheels and tyres will be damaged.
• Switch off the rain sensor before driving the vehicle Into an automatic car wash.
• Check that the car wash is tall and wide enough for your vehicle.
• Fold In the exterior mirrors. Electrically fold-Ing exterior mirrors must be moved electrically. Do not fold them in and out by hand.
• In order to prevent damage to the palntwork on the bonnet, fold the wipers back onto the windscreen after drying the wiper blades. Do not drop the wipers onto the glass.
• Lock the tailgate to prevent it from opening accidentally In the car wash. Vehicle care and maintenance 381
