You can remain more relaxed in traffic if you keep a sufficient distance from the vehicle in front. The optionally available automatic distance control ACC supports you in this.

ACC measures the distance and speed of vehicles in front. A sensor detects an area in front of the vehicle. In columns and traffic jams, the system brakes the Volkswagen in conjunction with the optional DSG dual-clutch transmission to a standstill and then starts moving again automatically within a short time. The system can keep your vehicle at a distance from the vehicle in front at speeds of up to 160 km/h within its limits.

Sometimes something unexpected happens that requires emergency braking. In such cases, the Front Assist environment monitoring system, including the City Emergency Braking function, which is included in the scope of delivery, can help. If a critical rear-end situation is detected within the system limits at speeds of up to 250 km/h, Front Assist warns the driver acoustically and visually and prepares for possible emergency braking. If the dangerous situation is not defused, the system automatically initiates the braking process, which may reduce the impact speed. Front Assist also supports the driver during the actual braking and ensures that - if necessary - the maximum braking force is used.

The City Emergency Braking function is a system extension of the Front Assist. At a speed of 5 to 30 km/h, it can react with an emergency braking at the last moment before a rear-end collision.
