Get Assist Systems -> Predictive cruise control system Guide for Volkswagen ID.5 SUV First Generation (2021-2025)

This is normal and is not a fault.

The predictive cruise control adapts the vehicle speed to detected speed limits and the course of the road ahead, e.g. bends,

junctions, roundabouts.

The predictive cruise control is an extension of ACC and makes use of Dynamic Road Sign Display and navigation data provided in the

Infotainment system.

The predictive cruise control function is dependent on the equipment level and is not available in all countries.

Reaction to the end of a traffic jam

Vehicles with V2X technology (depending on vehicle equipment and not available in all countries) interact with other vehicles in their

vicinity. As a result, your vehicle can be informed about a traffic jam ahead and can reduce speed early on.

Prerequisites:

—V2X is activated in the Infotainment system.

—The reaction to the end of a traffic jam is activated in the Infotainment system (→ Predictive cruise control system).

Using mass location data

The predictive cruise control can use online data to improve its function, e.g. to optimise cornering speed (depending on equipment

and not available in all countries).

Prerequisites:

—The vehicle is equipped with Travel Assist with mass location data.

—All associated prerequisites are met .

WARNING

The predictive cruise control system is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the limits of the

system. The predictive cruise control system cannot detect all applicable speed limits and may not react or may react with a delay or

in an undesired way. If you do not pay due attention, there is a risk of accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.

● Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is responsible for the stored vehicle speed at all

times.

● Observe the system limits (→ Predictive cruise control system).

● Ensure that your speed is always appropriate for the current visibility, weather and road/traffic conditions.

● Keep the navigation data up-to-date.

● Always observe the maximum speed limit.

● Please note that the speeds regulated by the system do not necessarily correspond to your driving style.

Also observe the system limits and the information for ACC.

The system also uses navigation data even if the vehicle does not have a navigation system. Keep the navigation data up-to-

date (→ Navigation). If you have any questions, please contact a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using

an authorised Volkswagen repairer.

In addition to the system limits of the Dynamic Road Sign Display function and ACC, the predictive cruise control function is subject to

the following additional, system-related limitations:

—The predictive cruise control function detects only road signs that show a speed limit. In particular, predictive cruise control does

not take into account the right of way or traffic lights.

—Road signs that indicate a speed limit indirectly, e.g. place-name signs, will be detected only on the basis of the navigation data.

—Road signs with sub-plates containing a restriction that applies only at certain times, for example, will be taken into account only if

they are included in the navigation data and if they are recognised by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system.

—Predictive cruise control is not available on roads which are not recorded in the navigation data or not recorded with sufficient

accuracy.

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

announced speed will be reset to the last-stored speed.

—The predictive cruise control system cannot control speeds below the minimum speed (→ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)).

—The predictive cruise control system cannot detect the intention to turn off in the following situations, for example:

—A dashed road lane marking was detected on the side on which you have set the turn signal.

—You have not operated the turn signal for long enough.

Function limitations

In the following situations, it is possible that the predictive cruise control will not change the speed or will change it with a delay or in

an unexpected way:

—There is a fault in the Dynamic Road Sign Display system. No speed limit is shown in the instrument cluster display.

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

—The navigation data is out-of-date.

—You are driving without route guidance.

—You leave the route calculated by the navigation system.

—The vehicle position cannot be determined correctly due to imprecise GPS data.

—The intention to turn off was not detected or was incorrectly recognised as such.

—You have indicated an intention to turn off too late.

You can adjust the settings for the events to which the vehicle should react:

—Reaction to the road layout.

—Reaction to the permitted speed.

—Reaction to the end of a traffic jam.

In the Infotainment system:

1. Open the Assist systems menu.

2. Select Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

3. Adjust the setting as desired.

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

Driving with route guidance

When you drive with route guidance, the predictive cruise control will adapt the speed to the entered route.

Driving without route guidance

When you drive without route guidance, the predictive cruise control will adapt the speed to the most probable route.

Indicating the intention to turn off

If you indicate the intention to turn off by setting the turn signal, the predictive cruise control can brake the vehicle at the next possible

turn-off – irrespectively of whether you are driving with or without route guidance.

Displays

A message will be displayed on the instrument cluster display as soon as the system detects a speed limit or will reduce the speed due

to the course of the road ahead. This message indicates the reason and the speed to which your vehicle will be regulated.

Speed limit ahead, example.

Speed regulation due to speed limit, example.

Lifting of a speed limit ahead.

Speed regulation due to cancellation of the speed limit.

Roundabout ahead.

Speed regulation due to a roundabout.

Junction ahead.

Speed regulation due to a junction.

Bend to the left ahead.

Speed regulation due to a left-hand bend.

Bend to the right ahead.

Speed regulation due to a right-hand bend.

End of traffic jam ahead.

Speed regulation due to the end of a traffic jam.

When automatic speed control is assumed due to a speed limit, the detected speed is stored as the new desired speed. When

automatic speed control is assumed due to the road layout, the vehicle will subsequently accelerate back up to the previously stored

speed.

Cornering speeds depend on the driving profile .

Cancelling speed adaptation

If you do not want to adopt an announced speed, you can cancel speed adaptation:

—Press the

The last-stored speed is resumed again.

— Press the button.

The current speed is adopted.

—Press the button.

button.

Control is cancelled.

Prioritising speed adaptation

As soon as a higher speed than the currently stored speed is announced in the instrument cluster display, you can prioritise speed

adaptation:

1. Press the button or swipe over the button from bottom to top.

The vehicle will then accelerate to the detected speed.

Adjusting the announced speed

The announced speed can be adjusted only in the case of speed regulation due to a speed limit.

+ 1 km/h (1 mph):

Gently press the button.

- 1 km/h (1 mph):

Gently press the button.

+ 10 km/h (5 mph):

Press the button hard or swipe over the button from bottom to top. The first time it is pressed, it jumps to the next higher ten

(km/h) or five (mph) increment.

- 10 km/h (5 mph):

Press the button hard or swipe over the button from top to bottom. The first time it is pressed, it jumps to the next lower ten

(km/h) or five (mph) increment

If you adjust the announced speed excessively, predictive cruise control will be terminated.

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

However, speed regulation will not take place.

When a speed limit is lifted on a motorway, the recommended speed will automatically be stored as the desired speed.

However, if a higher speed has previously been stored on a motorway without a speed limit, this will be adopted instead of the

recommended speed.

A message is displayed that predictive cruise control is currently not available or is not available in

your country

1. If this message is displayed for an extended period and predictive cruise control is available in your country, go to a

correspondingly qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership.

Depending on the malfunction, additional information may be displayed in the vehicle status (→ Vehicle settings menu).
