(→ Vehicle care).
—The sensor areas are obstructed by add-on parts, number plate holders with trim frames or stickers. Keep the area
around the sensors clear (→ Accessories and replacement parts).
—The sensors have been displaced or damaged, for example due to damage to the front of the vehicle or the
windscreen. Check whether damage is visible (→ Accessories and replacement parts).
—Paint work or structural modifications were carried out on the front of the vehicle or windscreen (→ Repairs and
technical modifications).
—Fault or malfunction. Deactivate and reactivate the vehicle’s drive system.
—If the problem persists, go to a correspondingly qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen
dealership.
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

Introduction to the topic
The speed limiter helps to prevent the vehicle from exceeding a speed that you have stored.
Speed range
The speed limiter is available when driving forwards at speeds from around 30 km/h(around 20 mph).
Driving with the speed limiter
You can interrupt the speed limiter function at any time by fully depressing the accelerator beyond the point of
resistance. As soon as the stored speed is exceeded, the green indicator lamp will flash and an acoustic warning may
sound. The speed remains stored in the memory.
The speed limiter function is activated again automatically as soon as the speed drops below the stored speed.
Displays
When the speed limiter is switched on, the instrument cluster display shows the stored speed and the status of the
speed limiter.
The following indicator lamps light up, depending on the driving situation:
Speed limiter switched on, system control active.
Speed limiter switched on, system control not active.
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
Use of the speed limiter in adverse weather conditions is dangerous and can cause accidents and serious injuries or
