Always switch off the speed limiter after use
to avoid unintentional cruise control.
• The speed limiter does not relieve the
driver of their responsibility for the speed of
the vehicle. Do not drive at full throttle if it is
not required.
• Use of the speed limiter in adverse weath·
er conditions is dangerous and can cause se­
rious injury, e.g. through aquaplaning, snow,
ice, or leaves. Only use the speed limiter
when the road and weather conditions allow
it to be used safely.
• The speed limiter cannot limit the vehicle
speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle
speed can increase under its own weight.
Shift down a gear or brake the vehicle using
the foot brake.

Setting the driving programme
In vehicles with Driving Mode Selection , the selec­
t~d driving mode can affect the vehicle 's accelera­
tion response ~page 248.
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

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Possible radar sensor function impairments
The adaptive cruise control will switch off tempora­
rily if th e radar sensor function is impaired , e .g .
due to heavy rain, spray , snow, ice or mud . A cor­
responding message will appear in the instrument
clu ster display .
Clean the radar sensors as re­
quired .
The adaptive cruise control will automatically be
available again as soon as the radar sensors are
no longer impaired . The message in the instrument
cluster display goes out, and the adaptive cruise
control can be reactivated .
~trong. reflected radiation of the radar signal , e.g.
1n mult1-storey car parks , can impair the function of
the radar sensor .
Towing a trailer
The adaptive cruise control operates with reduced
dynamics when the
vehicle is towing a trailer .
Overheated brakes
If the brak~s. overheat , e .g . following heavy braking
or when
dnv1ng down steep inclines for long peri­
ods , the
ada~tive cruise control may be deactiva­
ted
t~mpor~nly. A correspond ing message will ap­
p e ar

poss1ble to act1vate the adaptive cruise control.
As soon as the temperature of the brakes has de­
creased sufficiently , the adaptive cruise control can
be activated again. The message in the instrument
cluster
display goes out. If the message ACC not
ava i 1 ab 1 e does not go out for a long time, there
is a fault. Proceed to a qualified workshop. Volks­
wagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealer­
ship for this purpose.

The area monitoring system (Front Assist) helps to
avoid rear-end collisions.
lt uses a radar sensor to monitor traffic situations
up to a distance of approximately 120 metres in
front of the vehicle within a speed range of approx­
i
mately 5 km/h (3 mph) to 210 km/h (130 mph) .
The area monitoring system (Front Assist) can
warn the driver about imminent collisions, pre­
pare the vehicle for emergency braking in case
of danger, assist with braking, and initiate auto­
matic braking.

Distance warning
If the system detects danger from driving too close
to.the vehicle in front , the system can warn the
~nver by showing a corresponding message in the
~nstrument cluster display ~page 236. The warn­
Ing Period varies according to the traffic situation
a
nd the driver's response . Front Assist is not a
sub t · · s ltue for the full concentration of the dnver .
Advance warning
h lfth e system detects a potential collision with a ve­ICI · e .e .1n front, the system can warn the driver by 1111tt1ng an acoustic warning and showing a corre-spond· · PI lng message in the instrument clus~er diS-
ay ~Page 236 . The warning period vanes ac- carding
to the
traffic situation and the driver's re­
sponse . Front Assist is not a substitue for the
full
concentration of the driver .
At the
same time it prepares the vehicle for possi­
ble emergency braking ~ ~.
Urgent warning
If the driver fails to respond to the advance warn­
ing, the system can initiate a quick jolt of the brake
in order to draw the driver's attention to the
in­
creasing danger of a collision.
Automatic braking
If the driver also fails to react to the urgent warn­
ing, the system can slow the vehicle down auto­
matically by gradually increasing the braking force.
The system can help to reduce the consequences
of an accident by reducing the speed at which a
potential collision might take place .
Brake assistance
If Front Assist detects that the driver is not braking
sufficiently when there is a risk
of collision , the sys­
tem can increase the braking force and thereby
help to prevent a collision . Brake assistance works
only
for as long as the brake pedal is pressed
hard.
The intelligent technology used in Front As­
sist cannot overcome the laws of physics.
The driver is always responsible for braking
in time. If Front Assist issues a warning, im­
mediately apply the foot brake to slow the ve­
hicle down or avoid the obstacle, depending
on the traffic situation.
• Adapt your speed and distance from the
vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
• Front Assist cannot prevent accidents and
serious injuries on its own.
• Front Assist can issue unnecessary warn­
ings and carry out unwanted braking inter­
ventions in certain complex driving situa­
tions, e.g . at traffic islands.

~CD. To comply with the requirements of the
flexible service, only use approved flexible service
engine oil that
complies with the corresponding
VW standard (~table on page 282). The engine
o ils listed are
multigrade high-lubricity oils.
Engine oils are constantly being developed and
im­
proved . A Volkswagen dealership is always kept
up to date on innovations . Volkswagen therefore
recommends having engine oil changes done by a
Volkswagen dealership. The
qu
ality of the engine oil is not only ta ilor ed to
the requirements of engines and exhaust gas treat.
ment systems, but also to fuel quality . Due to the
way
in which a combustion engine works, engine
oil always comes into contact with combustion
resl­
dues and fuel, which has a kno ck-o n effect on the
ageing process of the oil.
The quality of fuels can var y gr ea tly between lndl·
vidual markets and this must be take n Into account
when selecting the correct engine oil.
The use of engine oils compliant with the
VW
504 00 und VW 507 00 specific ations requires
a fuel quality compliant with EN 228 (petrol) and
EN 590 (diesel). Engine oils compliant with
VW
504 00 und VW 507 00 are therefore unsult·
able for use in a large number of markets.
