Setting the distance level
The speed-dependent distance from the vehicle travelling ahead can be set to one of 5 levels.
In wet road conditions, you should always set a larger distance than when driving in dry road con-ditions.
The following distances can be pre-setected:
• Very small
• Small
• Medium
• Large
• Very large
The distance level to the vehicle ahead is set using the(!) button on the multifunction steering wheel 241. The adaptive cruise control (ACC) dis-play appears when the button is pressed 300. To set the distance level, press the(!] button. .,..
Driver assist systems 303

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.

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. .,.

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.

System limits
r-('n First read and observe the Introductory L-J,:.U Information and safety warnings & on page 307.
The area monitoring system (Front Assist) has physical and system-related limits. The driver may therefore feel that, in certain circumstances, some Front Assist reactions occur unexpectedly or with a delay. You should therefore always be prepared to take full control of the vehicle if necessary.
The following conditions can prevent Front Assist from reacting, or cause a delay in its reaction:
• In tight bends.
• If the accelerator is fully depressed.
• If Front Assist is switched off or there is a fault.
• If TCS or ESC is switched off manually.
• 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 radar sensor is dirty or covered.
• If the vehicle is reversing.
• Under hard acceleration.
• In snow or heavy rain.
• In case of narrow vehicles, e.g. motorbikes.
• If vehicles are travelling slightly to the left or right of your vehicle.
• If vehicles are crossing in front of your vehicle.
• If there is oncoming traffic.
• In uncertain traffic situations.
• 1/Vhen loads or attachment parts on other vehi-cles protrude to the side, rear or above the normal dimensions of the vehicle. Lane change assist system (Side Assist)

r--('n First read and observe the Introductory Information and safety warnings&. on page 315.
The Driver Alert System determines the driving be-haviour at the beginning of a journey and uses it to evaluate the tiredness of the driver. This is com-pared to the behaviour of the driver while actually driving. If the system detects that the driver may be tired, an acoustic warning signal ("gong") will sound and an explanatory message or symbol (BREAK or =>Fig. 251) will appear in the instrument cluster display. The message on the instrument cluster display appears for about five seconds and may be repeated once. The last displayed mes-sage is saved by the system.
The message in the instrument cluster display can be switched off by pressing the (OK/RESIT I button on the wiper lever or the@ button on the multifunc-

A WARNING
The intelligent tyre monitoring system tech-nology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Incorrect handling of the wheels and tyres can lead to a sudden loss of pressure in the tyres, tread separation and even tyre blow-out.
• Check tyre pressures regularly and always maintain the specified tyre pressure value =>page 367. If the tyre pressure is too low, it is possible that the tyre temperature will in· crease to such an extent that the tread peels off and the tyre bursts.
• Always maintain correct cold tyre pres-sure as listed on the tyre pressure label =>page 367.
• Check tyre Inflation pressure regularly when the tyres are cold. Adjust tyre pressure in the cold tyre to the recommended tyre pressure for the tyres Installed on your vehi· cle as necessary.
• Check your tyres regularly for signs of wear or damage.
• Never exceed the top speed and load per-mitted for the fitted tyres.
CD
If valve caps are missing, the valve could be damaged. Always use valve caps that comply with the factory-fitted valve cap specifications. Always screw on valve caps fully. Do not use metal valve caps.
Indicator lamp
Under-inflated tyres will increase fuel con-W sumption and tyre wear. A higher tyre pres-sure generally reduces the fuel consumption. How-ever, the maximum tyre pressures specified by the manufacturer must always be adhered to.
m When new tyres are driven at high speeds for L!..J the first time, they can expand slightly and trigger a one-off pressure warning.
m Old tyres should only be replaced by tyres L!..J that have been approved by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles for the vehicle type.
m Do not rely solely on the tyre monitoring sys-L!..J tern. Check your tyres regularly to ensure that they are properly inflated and have no signs of damage, such as punctures, cuts, cracks, and blis-ters. Remove any objects that become embedded in the tyre tread but have not penetrated into the body of the tyre itself.
m The tyre monitoring system is adjusted for L!..J the factory-recommended tyre pressures to be found on the tyre pressure label. ro First read and observe the introductory Information and safety warnings & on page 318.

Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the lgnilion is switched on. They will go out after a few seconds.
A WARNING
Differing tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can cause tyre failure, the loss of vehicle control, accidents, serious in-jury and death.
• If the Indicator lamp (l) lights up, stop the vehicle as soon as possible and check all the tyres.
• Different tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can Increase wear on the tyres, reduce vehicle stability and Increase the braking distance.
• Differing tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can cause sudden tyre failure and lead to a tyre burst and the loss of con-trol over the vehicle.
• The driver Is responsible for the correct tyre pressure of all tyres on the vehicle. The recommended tyre pressure can be found on the tyre pressure label 367.
• The tyre monitoring system cannot func-tion correctly until all cold wheels have the correct tyre pressure.
• The use of Incorrect tyre pressures can cause accidents and tyre damage. All tyres must always have the correct tyre pressure to suit the vehicle load.
• Always Inflate all tyres to the correct tyre pressure before every journey.
• If driven with Insufficient pressure, the tyre flexes more. This could warm up the tyre to such an extent that the tread may separate and the tyre could burst.
• High speeds and overloading of the vehi-cle may cause the tyres to heat up to such an extent that the tyre bursts, leading you to lose control of the vehicle.

A WARNING (Continued)
• If the tyre pressure Is too low or too high, the tyres will wear prematurely and the vehl-cle will not handle well.
• If the tyre Is not flat and it Is not necessary to change the wheel immediately, drive at low speed to the nearest qualified workshop and check and correct the tyre pressure.
A WARNING
Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle breaking down In traffic, and can cause acci-dent and serious injury.
• Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.
• Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
