Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
⇒
Introduction
Regulation is automatically interrupted.
• You have depressed the brake pedal.
• The selector lever of the DSG dual clutch gearbox is not in the selector lever position
D
.
• The vehicle has exceeded the stored speed for an extended period.
• If regulation related to driving dynamics is taking place, e.g. by TCS and ESC.
• Malfunction. Switch off the cruise control system and have it checked by a qualified workshop.
Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Speed limiter
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒
Operating the speed limiter with the turn signal and main beam lever
⇒
Operating the speed limiter via the multifunction steering wheel

Troubleshooting
The speed limiter helps to prevent the
vehicle from exceeding a speed that
you have stored.
Speed range
The speed limiter is available when driving forwards at speeds from around 30 km/h (20 mph).
Driving with speed limiter
You can interrupt the speed limiter function at any time by fully depressing the accelerator beyond
the point of resistance. The green warning and indicator lamp
flashes as soon as the stored
speed is exceeded. The speed remains stored in the memory.
The speed limiter function is activated again automatically as soon as the speed drops below the
stored speed.
Driving downhill
Driving downhill may cause the set speed to be exceeded. The green warning and indicator lamp
flashes in this case. An acoustic warning may also be given.
Apply the foot brake to slow the vehicle down, and change down a gear as required.
How do I operate the speed limiter?
Depending on the vehicle equipment, you can operate the speed limiter either by means of the turn
signal and main beam lever

Operating the speed limiter with the turn signal and main beam lever
or via the multifunction steering wheel

®
Always switch off the speed limiter after use to avoid unintentional speed regulation.
• The speed limiter does not relieve the driver of their responsibility for the speed of the
vehicle. Do not drive at full throttle if it is not required.
• Use of the speed limiter in adverse weather conditions is dangerous and can cause
serious injury, e.g. through aquaplaning, snow, ice, or leaves. Only use the speed
limiter when the road and weather conditions allow it to be used safely.
• The speed limiter cannot limit the vehicle speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle
speed can increase under its own weight. Shift down a gear or brake the vehicle using
the foot brake.
