Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)
Introduction to the topic
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) main-
tains a constant speed that you ha
ve set.
If the vehicle approaches a vehicle in
front, the ACC automatically adapts the
speed so that a distance you have selec-
ted is maintained.
Does the vehicle have ACC?
The vehicle is equipped with ACC if you can
adjust settings for ACC in the Assist systems
menu in the Infotainment system.
Speed range
You can set the speed between 20 km/h
(15 mph) and the maximum speed.
Driving with ACC
You can override the active ACC system at
any time. Cruise control will be stopped if you
brake. If you accelerate, cruise control will be
interrupted while you are accelerating and
then resumed.
The intervention by the ACC system is less
dynamic when towing a trailer.
Driver intervention prompt
If automatic deceleration by the ACC
system is not sufficient or the system
limits have been reached, the ACC
system will request you to also brake
by a corresponding message on the
instrument cluster. In addition, the
red warning lamp lights up and an
acoustic warning is given. Take over
control of the vehicle and be prepared
to brake.
Radar sensor
ACC detects driving situations using a radar
sensor at the front of the vehicle. The range of the radar sensor is up to approximately
160 m (

around 520 ft). WARNING
The intelligent ACC technology cannot
o
vercome the laws of physics, and func-
tions only within the limits of the system.
Never let the extra convenience tempt you
into taking safety risks when driving. Care-
less or unintentional use of ACC can cause
accidents or injuries. The system is not
a substitute for the full concentration of
the driver.
x Adapt your speed and the distance from
the vehicles ahead to suit visibility,
weather, road and traffic conditions.
x Never use the ACC in poor visibility, on
steep or winding roads, or on slippery
road surfaces, e.g. due to snow, ice,
moisture or loose chippings, or when
roads are flooded.
x Never use the ACC offroad or on unsur-
faced roads. The ACC is designed for use
on surfaced roads only.
x Take control of the vehicle immediately
if requested to do so by a prompt on the
instrument cluster display or if the speed
reduction by ACC is not sufficient.
x Brake if the vehicle starts moving unin-
tentionally, e.g. after a driver interven-
tion prompt.
x Be prepared to control the speed your-
self at all times. Special driving situations
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 151.
Predictiv

e cruise control system
If the vehicle is equipped with the Dynamic
Road Sign Display function and an Infotain-
ment system with navigation, ACC can pre-
dictively adapt the vehicle speed to detected
speed limits and the course of the road ahead

(depending on equipment and not available in
all countries).
Ov
ertaking
If you indicate left (left-hand traffic: indicate
right) to overtake, ACC will accelerate the ve-
hicle and reduce the distance from the vehi-
cle in front. Your set speed will not be excee-
ded.
If ACC does not detect any vehicle in front af-
ter you have changed lane, ACC will acceler-
ate the vehicle up to the set speed.
Overtaking assistance is not available in all
countries.
Stop-and-go traffic
ACC can brake the vehicle to a standstill and
keep it stationary. ACC remains active and
the instrument cluster display shows
ACC ready
to start for a few seconds.
On vehicles with Travel Assist, you can extend
this time by continuing to hold the steering
wheel.
As long as ACC remains active, the vehicle
will move off again automatically as soon as
the vehicle in front moves off (depending on
the vehicle equipment level and not available
in all countries).

Questions and answers about
system updates
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
ter on page 196.
What is the purpose of a system update
?
A system update is a preventive measure to
stop undesirable events and states from oc-
curring. For example protection against mal-
ware or to optimise the running of the soft-
ware.
Should I perform the system update?
It is in your own interests to carry out system
updates. If the driver repeatedly rejects the
system update, it is then necessary to visit
a qualified workshop.
Can I manually interrupt the download of the
system update?
No, this is not possible.
Can I interrupt software installation?
No, this is not possible.
What will happen if software installation is
interrupted?
If software installation is interrupted, for ex-
ample due to damage to the electrical system
in the vehicle, it is possible that control units
will be not be updated and may be damaged
due to incomplete software installation

2. Switch on Bluetooth visibility on the ex-
ternal Bluetooth audio source ( e.g. mo-
bile device).
3. Open the
Media menu.
4. Touch Source and select BT Audio
.
5.

If necessary, start playback on the Blue-
tooth audio source manually.
When playback on the Bluetooth audio
source is stopped, the Infotainment system
remains in Bluetooth audio mode.
Controlling playback
The extent to which the Bluetooth audio
source can be controlled via the Infotainment
system depends on the connected Bluetooth
audio source.
With media players that support the AVRCP
Bluetooth profile, playback on the Bluetooth
audio source can be automatically started or
stopped when the unit is switched to Blue-
tooth audio mode or to a different audio
source. In addition, depending on the Blue-
tooth audio source, tracks can be displayed
and changed via the Infotainment system.
Due to the large number of possible
Bluetooth audio sources, it is not pos-
sible to guarantee fault-free operation of all
described functions. The Volkswagen website
contains a list of compatible mobile devices.
Always switch off the warning and
service tones on a connected Blue-
tooth audio source, e.g. key tones on a mo-
bile device, to prevent interference noise and
malfunctions.
With some units, the Bluetooth audio
connection will be disconnected auto-
matically if an external media player is con-
nected to the Infotainment system with
Bluetooth and the USB port simultane-
ously. Infotainment system

If the power supply of the towed v ehicle
fails, stop towing immediately and seek
expert assistance. NOTICE
Towing with a tow-rope or tow-bar can dam-
age the v
ehicle.
x Tow the vehicle carefully with a tow-rope
or tow-bar.
x If possible, have the broken-down vehicle
transported by a breakdown truck. NOTICE
When pushing the vehicle by hand, the tail
light clusters, side spoilers on the rear win-
dow and large panels can be damaged and
the rear spoiler may become detached.
x When pushing the v

ehicle by hand, do not
press on the tail light clusters, side spoilers
on the rear window, large panels and the
rear spoiler. NOTICE
The vehicle can be damaged, e.g. the vehicle
paintwork, when remo
ving and fitting the
cover and towing eye.
x Remove and install the cover and the tow-
ing eye carefully so as to avoid damage to
the vehicle. NOTICE
Use of a towing eye that is not suitable for
the v
ehicle can damage the vehicle.
x Always use the towing eye supplied in the
vehicle toolkit of your vehicle or a towing
eye that is suitable for the vehicle for tow-
ing. Notes on towing
Please refer to and at the start of
the chapter on page 304.
It is still possible to activ

ate the turn signals
in a vehicle that is being towed, even if the
hazard warning lights are switched on. To do
this, operate the turn signal and main beam
lever in the required direction while the igni-
tion is switched on. The hazard warning lights
will not flash while the turn signal is being
used. The hazard warning lights will start
flashing again automatically as soon as the
turn signal and main beam lever is moved
back to the neutral position.
In which situations may the vehicle not be
towed?
In the following situations, the vehicle may
not be towed for a long distance on its own
tyres:

cooling system when the engine is hot and
could cause damage.
x If a large amount of coolant has been lost,
do not refill the coolant until the engine
has cooled completely. Hea
vy coolant loss
is an indication of leaks in the cooling sys-
tem. The cooling system should be
checked by a qualified workshop as soon
as possible. Failure to do so can result in
engine damage.
x Do not refill coolant if there is no more
coolant in the coolant expansion tank. Air
could have entered the cooling system. Do
not drive on! Seek expert assistance. Fail-
ure to do so can result in engine damage.
x When refilling service fluids, please ensure
that you pour the correct service fluids in-
to the correct openings. The use of incor-
rect service fluids can result in serious
malfunctions and damage to the electric
drive. Troubleshooting
Please refer to , and on page 309
and at the start of the chapter on page
315. Coolant
The indicator lamp flashes red.
Engine coolant temperature too high or en-
gine coolant le

vel too low. Do not driv

Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and
when safe to do so.
