Volkswagen Polo Owners Manual: Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ Indicator lamp
→ Using the cruise control system
The cruise control system (CCS) helps to maintain an individual set speed at forward speeds of approx. 20 km/h (12 mph) and higher.
The CCS only slows the vehicle by easing off the accelerator, not by actively braking. The CCS cannot maintain a constant speed when travelling downhill. The vehicle speed can increase under its own weight. Shift down gear and brake the vehicle using the foot brake .
Additional information and warnings:
- Changing gear
- Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts
WARNING
- Never use the CCS in heavy traffic, on steep or winding roads, or on slippery road surfaces e.g. on snow, ice, wet roads, loose chippings, or on flooded roads.
- Never use the CCS when driving off-road or on unsurfaced roads.
- Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
- Always switch cruise control off after use to avoid unintentional operation.
- It is dangerous to use a set speed that is too high for the prevailing road, traffic or weather conditions.
- The CCS cannot maintain a constant 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.
