Start/stop
mode when adaptive cruise
control (ACC) is active
The engine will be switched off after the adaptive
cruise control (ACC) has brought the vehicle to a
standstill with an active braking intervention
~page 226.
In the following instances, the engine will restart
when the ACC is active:
• If the accelerator is depressed.
• When the ACC has resumed speed and dis
tance control.
• If the vehicle ahead has moved on.
The brake servo and the electromechanical
steering will not function if the engine is
switched off.
• Never allow the vehicle to roll if the engine
is switched off.
• The start/stop system must be deactivated
if work is to be carried out in the engine com

The downhill driving assistant in veh icles with an
~utomatic gearbox helps when braking and travel
ling downhill ~ £. The downhill driving assistant
uses the braking power of the engine .
The automatic gearbox selects the best gear for
t~e circums tances by taking the steepness of the
h1l.l and the current speed into consideration. To do
th1s the selector lever must be in position D or S.
The downhill driving assistant is not active in Tip
Ironic mode .
As the downhill driving assistant can only shift
down as far as the 3rd gear, it may be necessary
to activate the Tiptronic mode when driving down
If the start/stop system is used in very high
outside temperatures over a long period, the
vehicle battery can be damaged.
m In some cases, it may be necessa ry to restart
L!J the engine manually. F ollow any correspond

make use of the braking effect of the engine and to
relieve the brakes .
Activating the downhill driving assistant
automatically:
• If the incline is greater than approximately 6%.
• AND: if the selector lever is in position 0 or s.
• In addition, if the CCS or ACC is switched
off: if the vehicle speed is less than approximately
80 km/h (50 mph) or the brake pedal is depressed.
• In addition if the CCS or ACC is active: if the
stored speed is exceeded .

• The ultrasound sensors should only be
sprayed briefly when cleaning with pressure
hoses and steam cleaners. A distance
of more
than
10 cm between the ultrasound sensors
and the steam/hose nozzle must
be observed.
• Sources of noise can lead to errors in the
ParkPilot system, e.g. rough asphalt, cobble
stones, induction loops, building equipment,
or
interference from other vehicles.
• Any equipment that has been retrofitted to
the vehicle, e.g . bicycle carriers, can prevent
the ParkPilot from functioning properly.
Operating ParkPilot
If an ultrasound sensor fails, the corrrespond.
ing area of the ultrasound sensor cluster is
switched off and cannot be reactivated until th
fault has been rectified. Consult a qualified
workshop in the event
of a system fault. Volks.

r::l Volkswagen recommends that drivers prac
L!J tise using the ParkPilot in a traffic-calmed
area or car park to allow them to familiarise them
selves with the system and its functions.

Switching ParkPilot on and off
The ParkPilot uses ultraound sensors to determine
the distance between the front and rear bumpers
and an obstacle. Up to 6 ultrasound sensors for
the ParkPilot (arrows) are located in both the front
(A) and rear (B) bumpers :::.Fig. 147.
The intermittent and permanent acoustic
warn~ng
signals for the front ParkPilot are of a higher pitch d
than those for the rear ParkPilot. This
is a standar
