Predictive ACC

Introduction

Predictive cruise control adapts the

vehicle's speed to known speed limits

and to the road layout ahead (e.g.

bends, intersections and roundabouts).

Predictive cruise control is an extension of ACC and uses the Dynamic Road Sign Display system and the navigation data

from the Infotainment system.

Predictive cruise control depends on the vehicle equipment and is not available in all countries.

WARNING

Predictive cruise control is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations.

232

Predictive cruise control cannot detect all enforced maximum speed limits and may not react, or may react with a delay, or

may react in a way that is not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for the stored speed of

the vehicle.

Observe the system limitations ⇒ System Limitations of Predictive Cruise Control .

Always adapt your speed to the visibility, weather, road and trafﬁc conditions.

Keep the navigation data up to date.

Always observe the maximum permissible speed.

Note that the speeds regulated by the system do not necessarily conform to your driving style.

Also observe the system limitations of and information on ACC.

System Limitations of Predictive Cruise Control

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

Introduction.

Beside the system limitations of the Dynamic Road Sign Display system and the system limitations of the ACC, predictive

cruise control also has the following additional, system-based limitations:

Predictive cruise control only detects road signs that display a speed limit. In particular, predictive cruise control does not

detect priority rules or trafﬁc lights.

Road signs that display a speed limit indirectly, such as city limit signs, are only detected on the basis of the navigation

data.

Road signs with additional signs that, for example, show time limits are only taken into consideration if they are included

in the navigation data.

The predictive cruise control function is not available on roads that are either not included or not mapped with complete

accuracy in the navigation data.

If a speed limit is announced on the basis of the navigation data but not detected by the Dynamic Road Sign Display, the

announced speed is reset to the speed last saved.

Predictive cruise control cannot take over speeds below the minimum speed ⇒

Introduction.

Functional limitations

In the following situations, the predictive cruise control may not change the speed, may change it with a delay or in a way that

is not desired:

Dynamic Road Sign Display is malfunctioning. No speed limit

is displayed in the instrument cluster display.

Road signs are not being detected or are not being detected correctly.

The navigation data are out of date.

You are driving without route guidance.

You deviate from the route calculated by the navigation system.

The position of the vehicle cannot be determined correctly due to inaccurate GPS data.

Activating the predictive cruise control

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

Introduction.

You can set the events to which the vehicle should respond:

Response to road layout.

233

Response to permissible speed.

In the Infotainment system:

1. Open the Assistance systems menu.

2. Select Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

3. Conﬁgure the desired setting.

If you have activated at least one event, predictive cruise control will be automatically switched on as well when ACC is

switched on.

Driving with predictive cruise control

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

Introduction.

Driving with Route Guidance

If you drive with route guidance, predictive cruise control will adjust the speed to the route you have entered in the system.

Driving without Route Guidance

If you drive without route guidance, predictive cruise control will adjust the speed to the most likely route.

Displays

As soon as the system detects a speed limit or is going to reduce your speed due to the road layout, a notiﬁcation appears in

the instrument cluster display. This message shows the reason and the speed to which the vehicle will adjust.

Adjustment due to a speed restriction.

Adjustment due to the road layout.

If the speed is adjusted due to a speed limit, the detected speed will be saved as a new desired speed. If the speed is adjuste

due to the road layout, the vehicle will accelerate to the previously saved preferred speed afterwards.

Cornering speed notiﬁcations depend on the driving mode ⇒ 4MOTION Active Control.

To cancel speed adjustment

During the notiﬁcation:

1. Press the

button.

During the adjustment:

1. Press the

button.

Adjusting the speed shown

The speed shown can only be adjusted when controlled due to speed restrictions.

+ 1 km/h (1 mph):

- 1 km/h (1 mph):

Press the

button.

Press the

+ 10 km/h (5 mph):

Press and hold the

button. Pressing for the first time changes to the next-largest tens digit (km/h) or

button. Pressing for the first time changes to the next-smallest tens digit (km/h) or

fives digit (mph).

- 10 km/h (5 mph):

Press and hold the

fives digit (mph).

If you adjust the speed shown in the notiﬁcation too far, the predictive cruise control will be canceled.

If a speed limit is detected, the predictive cruise control system will adjust the saved speed, even if ACC is deactivated.

However, it does not take control.

If a speed limit on a highway is lifted, the recommended speed will automatically be saved as the preferred speed.

234

However, if a higher speed than the recommended speed was previously saved on a highway with no speed limit, this saved

speed will be applied instead of the recommended speed.

Troubleshooting

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

Introduction.

A notiﬁcation shows that the predictive speed limit control is currently unavailable or is not available in your country

1. If the message is displayed over a longer period and predictive cruise control is available in your country, seek assistance

from suitably qualiﬁed professionals. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or

authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Additional information may be displayed in the vehicle status, depending on the malfunction ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.

Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist)

Introduction

Front Assist can recognize impending

forward collisions and warn the driver.

In addition, the system can provide

support when braking and initiate an

automatic braking maneuver.

The Front Assist system can help to avoid accidents but cannot replace the driver's attention.

Front Assist works solely within the system limitations. Warning times vary depending on the Trafﬁc Situation and the driving

behavior.

Range of functions

Front Assist includes the following additional functions, depending on the vehicle equipment and the country:

Pedestrian Monitoring.

Cyclist Monitoring.

The functions named are automatically active if Front Assist is switched on.

Recognizable objects

Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) can recognize the following objects, depending on the vehicle equipment and

the country:

Vehicles.

Bikes.

Pedestrians.

Driving with Front Assist

You can cancel automatic braking interventions by moving the steering wheel or pressing the accelerator pedal.

Automatic braking

Front Assist can brake the vehicle to a stop. The vehicle will not be held at a stop after that. Press the brake pedal.

The brake pedal feels more ﬁrm during an automatic braking maneuver.

WARNING

Front Assist is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Front Assist cannot
