Cruise Control and Front Assist
Touareg Features
Keep safety as your priority. Automatic Cruise Control system (ACC) with new Follow-to-Stop function is optional across the Touareg range. ACC automatically brakes and accelerates the car up to a vehicle speed defined by the driver. This system can brake the car to a full stop if required by the traffic situation.
Front Assist
Another technological highlight integrated in the ACC package is the Front Assist function. Front Assist serves to prevent collisions. The system makes use of a radar sensor to monitor the distance to other vehicles in traffic ahead of the Touareg.
When another vehicle is approached too closely, the system informs the driver in two stages: first visually and audibly, then with a brief braking pulse. Simultaneously the vehicle is prepared for possible hard braking by the driver. This involves an integrated stopping Distance Reduction system. In advance of certain situations, the system preventatively “arms” the brakes, thereby acting as a means of stopping distance reduction.
