Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) -> Introduction to the topic for Your Volkswagen Polo SUV Seventh Generation (2021-2025)

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 with ACC. if the  
button is present on the left-hand side of the multifunction steering wheel.  
Speed range  
You can set a speed between 20 km/h (15 mph) and 210 km/h (130 mph). Depending on equipment and country, the maximum speed  
that can be set may be lower.  
Driving with ACC  
You can override a control intervention by the ACC 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 the ACC system is less dynamic when towing a trailer.  
Driver intervention prompt  
If automatic deceleration by the ACC system is not sufficient or the system limits have been reached, the ACC system will  
request you to brake additionally by a corresponding message on the instrument cluster. In addition, the red warning lamp lights  
up and an acoustic warning is given. Take over control of the vehicle and be prepared to brake.  
WARNING  
ACC is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the limits of the system. ACC 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.  
Observe the system limits (→ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)).  
Adapt your speed and the distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.  
Take control of the vehicle immediately if requested to do so by a prompt on the instrument cluster display or if the speed  
reduction by ACC is not sufficient.  
Brake if the vehicle starts moving unintentionally, e.g. after a driver intervention prompt.
