Thank you very much. The VW handbook is too ambiguous. I thought the RES button meant Reset 👍🏼

Thank you for your beautiful explaining about how to use the cruise control! You show it very well sir! God protect you for us!😁 You are like an angel comes to our homes and help us with this complicate system! I bought a VW Passat week ago and I couldn't find someone to help me understand to how should I use all the things and unfortunately the book of this car is in German language which unfortunately I don't understand it very well!🤷 Please continue and share your information with us! ❤🙏👏👏👏

The instructions manual is too long-winded in that it cross-refers frequently which loses the thread of concentration on the subject matter because of the multitude of cross-referencing - just can't keep up!!!

Thanks for the video. I have a 2022 T-Roc (UK) and the only times I have tried the ACC I found it B.....Dangerous. The theory is good and it is fitted to so many of the VW range is surely cant be all that bad. One thing you didn't manage to cover in your video however was its use on the open road in particular the overtaking situation. Mine simply locks on to the vehicle in front, the one you are about to overtake and slows you down to its speed irrespective of you position on the road. You need to actively accelerate past it which I don't think is the manufacturers concept. There doesn't seem to be a conventional cruise control option on the UK model either. Anyway food for thought I will go back and have a look at my setting. Thanks again

@CarDietrich 8 ай бұрын

With pretty much every adaptive cruise control system I’ve used, it allows you to accelerate passed the pre-set speed to pass with the throttle pedal, and then drops back down to the pre-set speed when you take your foot off the gas. That’s par for the course, and IMO the safer way to overtake. The ACC systems accelerate too slowly for overtaking on a two lane road

@patrickfarrell4751 7 ай бұрын

Completely agree...used it last night for the 1st time and the bloody thing just has a mind of its own, literally slamming the brakes on when it 'saw' a sign saying 40 which didn't exist Cruise control is great but this version...NO THANKS VW!

@SmigGames 6 ай бұрын

You're not supposed to rely on ACC to overtake, unless it's two lanes going in the same direction, of course, but even then, it stops you from overtaking on the side where you shouldn't (left in the UK, right in EU). My 2020 Leon keeps track of vehicles on my left (EU) and prevents me from speeding past them. Not sure if that's what threw you off there.

@SmigGames 6 ай бұрын

@@patrickfarrell4751The sign issue may be very circumstantial to that spot, I'm not sure, but you might be able to disable the ACC adjusting to the signs. My 2020 Leon has that option somewhere under the ACC options. I actually prefer to have it disabled because I have the reverse issue where it doesn't see some speed limit signs, perhaps because they're out of the camera angle or something, so I prefer the predictability of setting the speeds myself.

@@SmigGames Thanks, I will look i nto it There actually wasn't a sign it was a national speed limit with traffic doing that I wondered if it is possibly linked to the navigation as well...there were roadworks along the stretch but not in the bit I was on...maybe it had some info stored that had not been updated

The main button should just have ACC written on it - would be more intuitive. Great vid, thanks.

Thank you for this. Is the shortest following distance the one where the bar is towards the back of the vehicle when locked on? I recently used ACC while traveling on the freeway and seemed to be slowing down to about 50-60 while it was set to 70 soon as it saw a vehicle then I had a few angry people up my backside bc I wasn't going fast enough.

Hello and thank you for the video! My question is: Will the car stop on a stop sign (if the car has the option to read road signs)?

No, the current VW systems do not react to road signs. They just read them and tell you what the speed limit is where you are

Correct, ACC does Not work when cars in front of you are stationary.

@jamesalbo7306 5 ай бұрын

Might sound stupid but how does this work with manual cars? I’m assuming you have to change gears when it slows itself down and accelerates on it its own ? But when you put your foot on the clutch does it turn itself off or only when you press the break?

@CarDietrich 5 ай бұрын

The only car with a stick shift I have experience with such a system in is my own 2023 Acura Integra A-Spec Tech. That car won’t bring itself to a complete stop, it will only slow down to 20 mph and then disengage the Adaptive Cruise and prompt the driver to take over. You can shift gears while Adaptive Cruise is engaged, but technically you don’t have to. The way that car is geared it will for from 20 MPH to 90 MPH (the maximum speed you can set the adaptive cruise for) in sixth gear.

Pretty well, but it’s always your responsibility as a driver to pay attention and be ready to intervene if, for example, somebody slams on their brakes in front of you and the car doesn’t react fast enough to it.

Perhaps if VW group would call this 'Autopilot' ala Tesla they would make a lot of money for a month with vaporwear for investors in the know 🤣 Sorry, I know this is a low blow but Tesla is just so funny. I myself will buy a new VW EV this year and parents the new Nissan EV. Both companies have solid products and functionality that works. Also - nice video that shows how this function actually works.

To quote Frank Lopez from Scarface, "Don't get high on your own supply." The actual answer is the environment that Ferdinand Piech created when he was at the helm of that company was one of SUCCESS AT ANY COST. I call the years he was in charge Volkswagen's "Wehrmacht" years. I'd like to make a video about all those cars (Phaeton, Touareg V10 TDI, Passat W8, Veyron) someday. But its a big project.

@@CarDietrich Interesting. I haven't really dwelled on the inner workings of VW during those years. I'm glad though that the record braking fines and the changes within the company seems to have put VW in a very right track. From a European perspective I know that VW Group makes excellent cars and the 'clean diesel emission hoaxl' to me seems like an attempt to gain marketshare in the US during the 90s/2010s.

Well, from a US perspective they put the final nail in the coffin of diesel cars here, which makes me sad. I actually bought a 2013 Jetta TDI Wagon in 2018 after it had been fixed. It was a great car, drove fantastic and it was very practical but the TDI fix did hurt fuel economy. Sold it to Carvana in the Summer of 2021 for stupid money and then they sold it for even more lol
