screen wiper arms should only be lifted when
in the service position.
• Always return the windscreen wiper arms to
the windscreen before starting your journey.
Fig. 90 Sensitive surface of the rain sensor
Changes to the functioning of the rain
sensor
Possible causes for faults and misinterpretations
concerning the sensitive surface~ Fig. 90 of the
rain sensor include:
• Damaged wiper blades: a film of water or
smears caused by damaged wiper blades
can in­
crease the length of time for which the wipers are
switched on, shorten the length of the intervals be­
tween wipes, or cause the wipers to run continu­
ously.
• Insects: insects hitting the surface can cause
the wipers to be activated.
• Salt deposits : in winter, salt deposits can cause
the wiper to continue to wipe the windscreen when
it is almost dry.
• Soiling : dry dust, wax, windscreen coatings (lo·
tus effect) or detergent deposits (automatic car
wash) can cause the rain sensor to become less
sensitive and react too slowly or even not at all.
• Crack
in the windscreen : when the windscree~
is impacted by a stone, a wash cycle is triggered If ....

Switch off the ACC if you suspect that the radar
sensor has been damaged or its position has
been altered. This can help to prevent further
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 .
• Repair work on the radar sensor will require
special knowledge and tools. Volkswagen rec­
ommends using a Volkswagen dealership for
this purpose.

• In vehicles with a manual gearbox , the actual
speed should be minimum 30 km /h (18 mph) if no

Setting the driving programme
In vehicles with Driving Mode Selection , the selec­
t~d driving mode can affect the vehicle 's accelera­

The following driving modes can be selected :
• Normal
• Sport
• Eco
In v h' . e lcles Without Driving Mode Selection , the ac-
Celeration response can be affected by the driving
rnode s I IT.Dl ~a e ected by pressing the ~ butto.n and _ the
I . nd @nver assistance ) function buttons 1n the 1nfo­a1nrne t n system ~page 31 .
The following conditions can prevent the
adaptive cruise control from reacting:
• If the the acce le rator is depressed.
• If no g ear is selected .
• If the ESC is taking corre ctive action .
• If the driv er h as no t f astened seat belt.
• If there is a fau lt in seve ral brake lights on the
v e hicle or on a traile r with an electrical
connection
to the vehic le .
• If the vehicle is reve rsing .
• If the vehicle is travelling faster than approxi ­
mately 160 km/h (100 mph).
A WARNING
If you close the gap to a vehicle in front and
the difference in speed between the two vehi­
cles is so great that the braking action of the
ACC is insufficient, you are in danger of col­
liding with the vehicle in front. You should re­
duce the vehicle speed immediately with the
foot brake.
• The ACC may not be able to recognise all
driving situations correctly.
• Leaving your foot on the accelerator will
mean that the ACC will not brake automatical­
ly. This is because manual acceleration over­
rides the system.
• You should always be prepared to brake
the vehicle yourself.
• Observe country-specific regulations re­
garding the minimum distance.
rn
The set speed will be deleted if the ig nition or
the ACC is switched off.
rn
The ACC is automatically deactivated when
the tract ion control system (T CS ) is deactiva-
ted .
rn
In vehicles with a start/stop system, the e n ­
g ine is switched off automatical ly during the
stat ionary phase of ACC and is then restarted for
moving off. Driver assist systems 231
