ACC Stop & Go function
In conjunction with a dual clutch gearbox (DSG), the vehicle is braked until it comes to a stop when following a
vehicle. For the first time, the Polo can pull away again within three seconds if equipped with a mechanical
parking brake. If you engage the brake while the car is stationary and ACC is active, ACC will remain active. As
soon as the vehicle in front pulls away, the Polo will follow it when you release the brake pedal.
It follows the traffic at the preset time interval and does not exceed the previously set desired speed.
