Driving -> Cruise control system for Your Volkswagen ID.5 SUV First Generation (2021-2025)

Fault or malfunction. Deactivate and reactivate the vehicle’s drive system.  
If the problem persists, go to a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.  
If the sensor visibility is restricted, driver assist systems may not be available or may be available only to a limited extent.  
Observe any other indicator lamps of the driver assist systems (→ Symbols in the instrument cluster).  
Depending on the malfunction, additional information may be displayed in the vehicle status (→ Vehicle settings menu).  
The cruise control system helps to maintain a speed set by the driver.  
Speed range  
The cruise control system is available when driving forwards at speeds from around 20 km/h (around 15 mph).  
Driving with the cruise control system  
You can exceed the stored speed at any time, e.g. to overtake. Control is interrupted for the duration of the acceleration manoeuvre  
and is then resumed with the stored speed.  
Displays  
When the cruise control system is switched on, the instrument cluster display shows the stored speed and the status of the cruise  
control system.  
One of the following indicator lamps will light up depending on the driving situation:  
Cruise control system switched on, control active.  
Cruise control system switched on, system control not active.  
If no speed is stored, the instrument cluster display shows  
instead of the speed.  
Driving downhill  
The vehicle cannot maintain the stored speed in all driving situations. Always be prepared to brake the vehicle.  
1. Use the brake energy recuperation of the electric drive on extended downhill stretches.  
This will relieve the load on the brakes.  
WARNING  
The use of the cruise control system can lead to accidents and serious injuries or even death if traffic does not allow you to drive at a  
safe distance from the vehicle in front at a constant speed.  
Adapt your speed and the distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions. The driver is  
responsible for the vehicle speed at all times.  
Never use the cruise control system in heavy traffic, if the distance to the vehicles in front is insufficient, on steep or winding  
roads, on slippery road surfaces, e.g. due to snow, ice, on wet roads, loose chippings, or on flooded roads.  
Never use the cruise control system when driving offroad or on unpaved road surfaces.
