Driver assist systems -> Eco Assistance for Your Volkswagen ID.7 4 Door First Generation (2023-2025)

Eco Assistance  
The Eco Assistance function helps the driver to drive with an anticipatory driving style and to save energy by  
providing situation-dependent information.  
The Eco Assistance function uses the navigation data of the Infotainment system and the sensors of the driver assist  
systems. When you drive with route guidance, Eco Assistance also takes into account the entered route. The most  
probable route is used when you drive without route guidance.  
The Eco Assistance function is dependent on the equipment level and is not available in all countries.  
Driving with Eco Assistance  
Fig. 1 In the head-up display: Eco Assistance display  
(illustration).  
When you approach a speed limit or a road section that has to be taken into account when driving on the route, the  
symbol and information on the type of event will be displayed on the head-up display and on the instrument cluster  
display.  
As soon as you take your foot off the accelerator, the vehicle adjusts the brake energy recuperation and the speed.  
The vehicle takes into account the selected driving profile and the distance to the event. In combination with the D  
selector lever position, Eco Assistance automatically adjusts energy recovery to the ideal level.  
The available energy recovery level depends on the charge level of the high-voltage  
battery.  
If the accelerator pedal is not pressed, Eco Assistance also supports deceleration for a vehicle driving in front without  
any displayed message. The system does not use the vehicle brake. When you are driving downhill, the system also  
cannot brake the vehicle sufficiently in all driving situations.  
You can override Eco Assistance interventions at any time by accelerating or braking.

The Eco Assistance function will be automatically deactivated temporarily in the following cases:  
The Sport driving profile is activated.  
When driving with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC  
).  
However, Eco Assistance displays may still be shown, depending on the situation and driving  
behaviour.  
Eco Assistance will be activated again when the reason for deactivation is no longer present if the function is  
switched on in the Infotainment system.  
WARNING  
Eco Assistance cannot replace the driver’s attention and operates only within the limits of the system. Eco  
Assistance cannot detect all driving situations 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 always responsible for all  
driving tasks.  
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather and road or traffic conditions.  
Please note that road signs on the road and traffic regulations always have priority over driving  
recommendations.  
Introduction to the topic  
The Adaptive Cruise Control(ACC) maintains a constant speed that you have set. If the vehicle approaches a vehicle  
in front, the ACC automatically adapts the speed so that a distance you have selected is maintained.  
Does the vehicle have ACC?  
The vehicle is equipped withACC  
if you can select ACC with the  
button on the left-hand side of the multifunction steering wheel.  
Speed range  
You can set the speed to 20 km/h(15 mph) and higher.  
Driving with ACC  
You can override a control intervention by theACC  
system at any time. Cruise control will be stopped if you brake. If you accelerate, control will be interrupted while you  
are accelerating and then resumed with the set speed.  
The intervention by theACC  
system is less dynamic when towing a trailer.
