Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Additional information may be displayed in the vehicle status, depending on the malfunction (→ Vehicle

settings menu).

The Adaptive Cruise Control cannot start

Make sure the following requirements are met:

—Vehicles with manual transmission: A forward gear other than first gear is engaged and the vehicle speed is at

least 25 km/h (16 mph).

—Vehicles with an automatic transmission: A gear is engaged for driving forward.

—The brake lights on the vehicle are functioning.

—The brake lights on the electronically connected trailer are functioning.

—ESC

is not regulating.

—The brake pedal is not being pressed.

Unusual noises during automatic braking

This is normal and not a cause for concern.

Introduction

Predictive cruise control adapts the vehicle's speed to known speed limits and to the road layout ahead(e.g. bends,

intersections and roundabouts).

Predictive cruise control is an extension ofACC

and uses the Dynamic Road Sign Display system and the navigation data from the Infotainment system.

Predictive cruise control depends on the vehicle equipment and is not available in all countries.

WARNING

Predictive cruise control is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations.

Predictive cruise control cannot detect all enforced maximum speed limits and may not react, or may react with a

delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and

death.

● Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for the stored speed

of the vehicle.

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

● Always adapt your speed to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.

● Keep the navigation data up to date.

● Always observe the maximum permissible speed.

● Note that the speeds regulated by the system do not necessarily conform to your driving style.

Also observe the system limitations of and information on

ACC

.

276

The system will also use navigation data if the vehicle does not have a navigation system. Keep the navigation

data up to date (→ Navigation). Please contact suitably qualified professionals if you have any questions.

Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service

Facility.

System Limitations of Predictive Cruise Control

Beside the system limitations of the Dynamic Road Sign Display system and the system limitations of theACC

, predictive cruise control also has the following additional, system-based limitations:

—Predictive cruise control only detects road signs that display a speed limit. In particular, predictive cruise control

does not detect priority rules or traffic lights.

—Road signs that display a speed limit indirectly, such as city limit signs, are only detected on the basis of the

navigation data.

—The predictive cruise control function is not available on roads that are either not included or not mapped with

complete accuracy in the navigation data.

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

Display, the announced speed is reset to the speed last saved.

—Predictive cruise control cannot take over speeds below the minimum speed (→ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)).

Functional limitations

In the following situations, the predictive cruise control may not change the speed, may change it with a delay or in a

way that is not desired:

—Dynamic Road Sign Display is malfunctioning. No speed limit is displayed in the instrument cluster display.

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

—The navigation data are out of date.

—You are driving without route guidance.

—You deviate from the route calculated by the navigation system.

—The position of the vehicle cannot be determined correctly due to inaccurate GPS data.

277

Activating the predictive cruise control

You can set the events to which the vehicle should respond:

—Response to road layout.

—Response to permissible speed.

In the Infotainment system:

1. Open the Assistance systems menu.

2. Select Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC

).

3. Configure the desired setting.

If you have activated at least one event, predictive cruise control will be automatically switched on as well whenACC

is switched on.

278

Driving with predictive cruise control

Driving with Route Guidance

If you drive with route guidance, predictive cruise control will adjust the speed to the route you have entered in the

system.

Driving without Route Guidance

If you drive without route guidance, predictive cruise control will adjust the speed to the most likely route.

Displays

As soon as the system detects a speed limit or is going to reduce your speed due to the road layout, a notification

appears in the instrument cluster display. This message shows the reason and the speed to which the vehicle will

adjust.

Adjustment due to a speed restriction.

Adjustment due to a bend.

Adjustment due to an intersection.

Adjustment due to a roundabout.

If the speed is adjusted due to a speed limit, the detected speed will be saved as a new desired speed. If the speed is

adjusted due to the road layout, the vehicle will accelerate to the previously saved preferred speed afterwards.

Cornering speed notifications depend on the driving mode .

To cancel speed adjustment

During the notification:

1. Press the

button.

During the adjustment:

1. Press the

button.

Bringing forward the speed adjustment

As soon as a higher speed than the currently saved speed is shown in the instrument cluster display, you can bring

forward the speed adjustment:

1. Press the button.

The vehicle will accelerate to the detected speed.

Adjusting the speed shown

The speed shown can only be adjusted when controlled due to speed restrictions.

+ 1 km/h (1 mph):

Press the

button only while ACC is regulating.

279

- 1 km/h (1 mph):

Press the

button only while ACC is regulating.

+ 10 km/h (5 mph):

Press the button.

Pressing for the first time changes to the next-largest tens digit(km/h) or fives digit (mph).

- 10 km/h (5 mph):

Press the button.

Pressing for the first time changes to the next-smallest tens digit(km/h) or fives digit (mph).

If you adjust the speed shown in the notification too far, the predictive cruise control will be canceled.

If a speed limit is detected, the predictive cruise control system will adjust the saved speed, even if the

ACC

is deactivated. However, it does not take control.

If a speed limit on a highway is lifted, the recommended speed will automatically be saved as the preferred

speed. However, if a higher speed than the recommended speed was previously saved on a highway with no

speed limit, this saved speed will be applied instead of the recommended speed.

Troubleshooting

A notification shows that the predictive speed limit control is currently unavailable or is

not available in your country

1. If the message is displayed over a longer period and predictive cruise control is available in your country, seek

assistance from suitably qualified professionals. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized

Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Additional information may be displayed in the vehicle status, depending on the malfunction (→ Vehicle

settings menu).
