Adaptive cruise control combines cruise
control and distance control.
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) can help to maintain a speed set by the The adap-tive cruise control (ACC) can also maintain a set time interval to a vehicle travelling ahead. Two fac-tory-fitted versions of the system are available: .,

• System version 1 functions at speeds of 30-160 km/h (20 mph -100 mph).
• System version 2 functions at speeds of 30-210 km/h (20 m ph-130 m ph).
In vehicles with a dual clutch gearbox DSG®, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) can brake the vehi-cle until it comes to a complete standstill behind a vehicle in front that is stopping.
Driver prompt to take over control
There are system-specific limits on the adaptive cruise control (ACC) when driving. This means that the driver may have to control the speed and dis-tance between the vehicle and other vehicles in certain circumstances.
The driver is told to take control of the vehicle via a message on the instrument cluster display prompts a braking intervention, and a signal tone =<>page 300.

A WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the adap-tive cruise control (ACC) cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Careless or uninten-tional use of the adaptive cruise control (ACC) can cause accidents and lead to seri-ous injury. The system Is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
• Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
• Do not use the adaptive cruise control (ACC) in poor visibility, on steep or winding roads, or on slippery road surfaces e.g. on snow, ice, wet roads, loose chippings or floo-ded roads.
A WARNING (Continued)
• Never use the adaptive cruise control (ACC) off-road or on unsurfaced roads. The adaptive cruise control (ACC) is designed for use on surfaced roads only.
• The adaptive cruise control (ACC) does not react to stationary obstacles, e.g. the tail end of a traffic jam, a vehicle that has broken down, or vehicles waiting at traffic lights.
• The adaptive cruise control (ACC) does not react to persons, animals or vehicles crossing or approaching in the same lane.
• If the adaptive cruise control (ACC) speed reduction is insufficient, you should brake the vehicle by depressing the foot brake.
• Brake the vehicle by depressing the brake if the vehicle rolls inadvertently on after the driver has been prompted to take control of the vehicle.
• If the instrument cluster display indicates that the driver should take control of the vehi-cle, you have to regulate the distance your-self.
• The driver must be prepared to take con-trol of the vehicle (by accelerating or braking) at all times.
CD
Switch off the adaptive cruise control (ACC) if you suspect that the radar sensor has been damaged. This can help to prevent secondary damage. Have the radar sensor realigned.
• Repair work on the radar sensor will require special knowledge and tools. Volkswagen rec-ommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
m If the adaptive cruise control (ACC) does not L!J function as described in this chapter, do not use it, and have the system checked by a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Voikswagen dealership for this purpose.
m The maximum vehicle speed when the adap-L!J live cruise control (ACC) is active is limited to either 160 km/h (1 00 m ph) or 210 km/h (130 m ph). depending on the system version.
m If the adaptive cruise control (ACC) is active, L!J unfamiliar noises may be heard during the automatic braking procedure. These are caused by the braking system. Driver assist systems I 299

A radar sensor is fitted to the front bumper to moni-tor the traffic situation =>Fig. 246 @.Vehicles trav-elling ahead can thus be detected up to a distance of approximately 120 m.
The efficacy of the radar sensor can be impaired by contamination such as slush or snow, or by en-vironmental conditions such as heavy rain or spray. In this case the area monitoring system (Front As-sist) will not work. The instrument cluster display shows the message Front Assist: no sensor view!. Clean the radar sensors as required => Front Assist will automatically be available again as soon as the radar sensor is no longer impaired.
Strong reflected radiation of the radar signal, e.g. in multi-storey car parks, can impair the function of Front Assist.
Front scan system (Front Assist)
r-f"'n First read and observe the introductory l.-lo:-1.1 information and safety warnings & on page 307.
The area in front of and around the radar sensor @ must not be covered by objects such as stick-ers, auxiliary headlights, face plates for number plates or the like, as this can impair the function of the Front Assist.
Any structural modifications to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the vehicle or making alterations to the front end trim, can impair the function of Front As-sist. Structural modifications should therefore al-ways be carried out by a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Incorrectly performed repairs to the front end of the vehicle can alter the position of the radar sensor and therefore impair the function of Front Assist. Repair work should therefore only be carried out by a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Switch off Front Assist if you suspect that the radar sensor has been damaged or its position has been altered. This can help to prevent sec-ondary damage. Have the radar sensor real-Igned.
• 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.
• Remove snow with a brush, and remove Ice preferably with a solvent-free de-leer spray. The front scan system (Front Assist) is activated automatically when the ignition is switched on.
The system also retains the programmed setting when the ignition is next switched on. 1>

A WARNING
Poor visibility through all windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which can cause serious injuries.
• Always ensure that all windows are free of ice, snow and mist to ensure good visibility.
3221 While driving
A WARNING (Continued)
• Maximum heat output, which Is needed to defrost the windows as quickly as possible, is only available when the engine has reached Its operating temperature. Do not start your journey until you have good visibil-Ity.
• Always ensure that the heating and fresh air system or the air conditioning system and the rear window heating are used correctly so that you have good visibility.
• Never use the air reclrculatlon mode for an extended period. If the cooling system Is switched off, the windows can mist up very quickly In air reclrculatlon mode and reduce visibility considerably.
• Always switch off the air reclrculatlon mode when it Is not required.
A WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which In turn can cause collisions, accidents and serious Inju-ries.
• Never switch off the blowers or switch on the air recirculatlon mode for an extended pe· riod as this prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle interior.
• Switch off the air conditioning system if you suspect that it has been damaged. This can help to prevent secondary damage. The air conditioning system should be checked by a qualified workshop.
• Repairs to the air conditioning system re-quire specialist knowledge and special tools. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends using a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles deal-ership for this purpose.
• Do not insert any objects in the slots of the air outlets. This could cause damage to the air outlets.

m If the cooling system is switched off. the out-W side air that is drawn into the vehicle is not dehumidified. To prevent the windows misting over, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that you leave the air conditioning (air conditioning co'!!E.'"essor) switched on. To do this, press the @ button.
