Driving off after a stationary phase (only vehicles with a DSG

After a stationary phase, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) can start the vehicle moving automatically as soon as the vehicle in front begins to

move again.

Overtaking

If the turn signal is activated when starting an overtaking manoeuvre, the Adaptive Cruise Control accelerates the vehicle automatically and thus

reduces the distance to the vehicle in front.

If you move your vehicle into the overtaking lane and there is no vehicle ahead of you, the ACC will automatically increase the speed to your set

level and maintain it.

Acceleration can be stopped at any point by depressing the brake pedal or pressing the

Inside Overtaking Prevention System

In countries where they drive on the right: if the Adaptive Cruise Control identifies a slower vehicle in the left-hand lane

reduced to prevent illegal undertaking in the right-hand lane.

In countries where they drive on the left, the speed is reduced to prevent illegal undertaking in the left-hand lane.

When driving through bends

While driving through bends, the radar sensor may sometimes lose the vehicle travelling ahead or may react to a vehicle in the next lane

→ Fig. 160

. In such situations, the vehicle might decelerate unnecessarily or not react to the vehicle in front. In this case the driver must

override the Adaptive Cruise Control by depressing the accelerator, or interrupt the braking procedure by depressing the brake pedal or pressing

the

button on the multifunction steering wheel

Driving in tunnels

The radar sensor function may be restricted in tunnels. Switch off the Adaptive Cruise Control in tunnels.

Narrow vehicles and offset vehicles driving on left or right

Narrow vehicles and offset vehicles travelling slightly to the left or right of your vehicle will be recognised by the radar sensor only once they have

entered the radar range

→ Fig. 160

Vehicles with special loads or special attachments

Any loads or accessories on other vehicles that protrude from the side, rear or over the roof of the vehicle may not be detected by the ACC.

Switch off the ACC when the vehicle ahead has a special load or special attachments or while overtaking such vehicles. If required, brake the

vehicle yourself.

When other vehicles change lanes

Vehicles that are very close when they move into your lane can be detected by the radar sensors only when they have moved into the sensor

range. This means that the Adaptive Cruise Control may have a delayed reaction

Stationary vehicles

The ACC does not detect stationary objects during a journey, such as stationary traffic or a vehicle that has broken down.

If a stationary vehicle is hidden behind a vehicle that has been detected by the Adaptive Cruise Control and this vehicle turns off the road or
