General Description 

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a cruise control system with distance regulation that influences driving behavior with both active acceleration and deceleration.

The 2010 Touareg has an improved ACC system. The ACC with Front Assist is also known as "Stop & Go". In addition to the current ACC features, the vehicle will resume driving 2 seconds after it has stopped.

Using ACC, any desired speed between 0 km/h and 210 km/h (130.48 mph) can be maintained. In addition, ACC maintains a pre-set time distance to the vehicle ahead.

With active brake intervention, the vehicle can brake to a stop. System-specified thresholds are set and driver intervention is prompted with optical and acoustic warnings when necessary.

The driver assistance system is activated using the front button in the turn signal level and a selection display in the instrument cluster display. ACC is operated using the multifunction steering wheel buttons or, on vehicles without multifunction steering wheel, using the front rocker switch in the windshield wiper lever. While driving, important information is shown in the instrument cluster display.
