Volkswagen Golf Owners Manual: Switch off the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) temporarily in the following situations

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings 

The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) should be switched off in the following situations due to system limitations  :

• When turning off roads, driving around roundabouts, narrow curves, joining motorways, exiting from motorways or driving through road works, to prevent the vehicle from unnecessarily accelerating to the set speed in these situations

• When driving through a tunnel as this situation could impair the system function.

• On roads with more than one lane, if other vehicles are driving more slowly in the fast lane. The slower vehicles in the other lane would be overtaken from the right side in this case.

• In heavy rain, snow or spray as vehicles travelling ahead cannot be monitored sufficiently or maybe cannot be monitored at all.

WARNING

• Always switch off the ACC in critical driving situations.

Failure to switch off the Adaptive Cruise Control in the above-mentioned situations can cause a violation of legal requirements.
