Get Driver assist systems -> Adjusting ACC Guide for Volkswagen Transporter Van Seventh Generation (2021-2025)

Starting control

The ACC stores the current speed and maintains the selected distance. If the current speed is outside the

defined speed range, ACC will set the minimum speed (when driving more slowly than the limit) or maximum

speed (when driving faster than the limit).

The traction control system (TCS

) is also activated.

Depending on the driving situation, the following indicator lamps light up:

ACC control active, no vehicle detected ahead.

ACC control active, vehicle in front detected.

When ACC is not regulating, the indicator lamps light up grey.

WARNING

If you do not maintain the minimum distance to a vehicle in front or if the difference in speed between the vehicle in

front and your own vehicle is so great that the braking action of the ACC is insufficient, you are in danger of colliding

with the vehicle in front. Rain and winter conditions will also reduce the braking distance.

● The Adaptive Cruise Control may not be able to detect all driving situations correctly.

● Always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.

239

● Depressing the accelerator will override the Adaptive Cruise Control. In this case, the ACC will not brake the

vehicle automatically.

● Observe any country-specific regulations regarding the minimum distance between vehicles.

● Maintain a larger gap in wet weather, snow or poor visibility.

Adjusting the way the ACC responds

You can decide how sporty the response of the ACC should be:

1. Vehicles with driving profile selection:Set preferred driving profile.

2. Vehicles without driving profile selection:Select the desired gearbox program in the Assist systems menu of the

Infotainment system.

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

automatically when the user account changes (→ Personalisation).
