Get Driving -> Predictive cruise control system Guide for Volkswagen T-Roc SUV First Generation (2017-2025)

—The brakes have overheated, control was cancelled automatically. Allow the brakes to cool down and check their functionality again.

—If the problem persists, go to a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.

Depending on the malfunction, additional information may be displayed in the vehicle status (→ Vehicle settings menu).

Control cannot be started

Make sure that the following conditions are met:

—Vehicles with a manual gearbox: A forward gear other than 1st gear has been engaged and the speed is at least 25 km/h (16 mph).

—Vehicles with an automatic gearbox: A position has been selected for driving forward.

—The brake lights on the vehicle are working.

—The brake lights on the electrically connected trailer are in working order.

—ESC is not performing a control intervention.

—If control is to be started while the vehicle is stationary, depress the brake pedal. Otherwise, do not depress the brake pedal.

Unusual noises during automatic braking

This is normal and is not a fault.

The predictive cruise control adapts the vehicle speed to detected speed limits and the course of the road ahead, e.g. bends,

junctions, roundabouts.

The predictive cruise control is an extension of ACC and makes use of Dynamic Road Sign Display and navigation data provided in the

Infotainment system.

The predictive cruise control function is dependent on the equipment level and is not available in all countries.

WARNING

The predictive cruise control system is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the limits of the

system. The predictive cruise control system cannot detect all applicable speed limits 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 responsible for the stored vehicle speed at all

times.

● Observe the system limits (→ Predictive cruise control system).

● Ensure that your speed is always appropriate for the current visibility, weather and road/traffic conditions.

● Keep the navigation data up-to-date.

● Always observe the maximum speed limit.

● Please note that the speeds regulated by the system do not necessarily correspond to your driving style.

Also observe the system limits and the information for ACC.

The system also uses navigation data even if the vehicle does not have a navigation system. Keep the navigation data up-to-

date (→ Navigation). If you have any questions, please contact a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using

an authorised Volkswagen repairer.

In addition to the system limits of the Dynamic Road Sign Display function and ACC, the predictive cruise control function is subject to

the following additional, system-related limitations:

—The predictive cruise control function detects only road signs that show a speed limit. In particular, predictive cruise control does

not take into account the right of way or traffic lights.

—Road signs that indicate a speed limit indirectly, e.g. place-name signs, will be detected only on the basis of the navigation data.

—Predictive cruise control is not available on roads which are not recorded in the navigation data or not recorded with sufficient

accuracy.

—If a speed limit is announced on the basis of the navigation data but is not detected by the Dynamic Road Sign Display function, the

announced speed will be reset to the last-stored speed.

—The predictive cruise control system cannot control speeds below the minimum speed (→ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)).

Function limitations

In the following situations, it is possible that the predictive cruise control will not change the speed or will change it with a delay or in

an unexpected way:

—There is a fault in the Dynamic Road Sign Display system. No speed limit is shown in the instrument cluster display.

— Road signs are not detected or are not detected correctly.

—The navigation data is out-of-date.

—You are driving without route guidance.

—You leave the route calculated by the navigation system.

—The vehicle position cannot be determined correctly due to imprecise GPS data.

You can adjust the settings for the events to which the vehicle should react:

—Reaction to the road layout.

—Reaction to the permitted speed.

In the Infotainment system:

1. Open the Assist systems menu.

2. Select Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

3. Adjust the setting as desired.

If you have activated at least one event, predictive cruise control will also be switched on automatically when ACC is switched on.

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore change automatically when the

user account changes.

Driving with route guidance

When you drive with route guidance, the predictive cruise control will adapt the speed to the entered route.

Driving without route guidance

When you drive without route guidance, the predictive cruise control will adapt the speed to the most probable route.

Displays

A corresponding message is shown in the instrument cluster display as soon as the system has detected a speed limit or is going to

reduce the speed based on the route.

Speed regulation due to speed limit.

Speed regulation due to a bend.

Speed regulation due to a junction.

Speed regulation due to a roundabout.

When automatic speed control is assumed due to a speed limit, the detected speed is stored as the new desired speed. When

automatic speed control is assumed due to the road layout, the vehicle will subsequently accelerate back up to the previously stored

speed.

The behaviour of the predictive cruise control depends on the driving profile .

Cancelling speed adaptation

If you do not want to adopt an announced speed, you can cancel speed adaptation:

During the announcement:

1. Press the

During system control intervention:

1. Press the button.

button.

Prioritising speed adaptation

As soon as a higher speed than the currently stored speed is announced in the instrument cluster display, you can prioritise speed

adaptation:

1. Press the button.

The vehicle will then accelerate to the detected speed.

Adjusting the announced speed

The announced speed can be adjusted only in the case of speed regulation due to a speed limit.

+ 1 km/h (1 mph):

Press the

button only when ACC is active.

- 1 km/h (1 mph):

Press the

+ 10 km/h (5 mph):

Press the button.

The first time it is pressed, it jumps to the next higher ten (km/h) or five (mph) increment.

- 10 km/h (5 mph):

Press the button.

The first time it is pressed, it jumps to the next lower ten (km/h) or fives (mph) increment

If you adjust the announced speed excessively, predictive cruise control will be terminated.

If a speed limit is detected, the predictive cruise control function will adjust the stored speed even if ACC is deactivated.

However, speed regulation will not take place.

When a speed limit is lifted on a motorway, the recommended speed will automatically be stored as the desired speed.

However, if a higher speed has previously been stored on a motorway without a speed limit, this will be adopted instead of the

recommended speed.

A message is displayed that predictive cruise control is currently not available or is not available in

your country

1. If this message is displayed for an extended period and predictive cruise control is available in your country, go to a

correspondingly qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership.

Depending on the malfunction, additional information may be displayed in the vehicle status (→ Vehicle settings menu).
