ACC Dash Icon

So if ACC is not activated when I come up behind another car nothing should happen and I crash into the back of it?

You'd get closer and closer to the car in front and then front assist would warn you first and eventually stop you, I reckon.

The manual does not mention this mode of manual cruise control for my car, how do I get into it as my car only has ACC according to the knob on the end of the trafficator stalk.

Stalk? I thought all ACC controls on the steering wheel.

Looks like our controls and icons are really different. I can't help you, sorry.

Page 43 of this owners manual shows the controls for the ACC (at least for my car).

ignore my reference to the stalk at the moment, I need to know how to activate the manual form of CC you speak on a 162 because I want to use it.

VW manuals are not the best thing to find stuff in. Why can't they just have a dashboard with all icons labeled in one place?

Now you're just being silly! LOL

For me, pressing the Mode button switches the mode from CC to ACC and vice versa.

On mine i switches form ACC to Speed limiter. I tried disabling front assist thinking it might disable ACC but no cigar, ACC is always active and has a set distance the driver sets and is always looking for a car ahead whether there is one there or not. The distance setting on the dash never goes away in other words and with no front assist when the car catches a car in front the distance setting slows the car down so front assist has nothing to do with it.
