The functions may be subject to changes to content or may be ceased during the contract period. To avoid distraction, only certified apps can be started during the journey.

Information on the compatibility of smartphones can be found for Apple CarPlay at https://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/ and for Android Auto at https://www.android.com/auto/. Apple CarPlay is a trademark of Apple Inc. Android Auto is a trademark of Google LLC. 
7.
Use of expanded Online Voice Control functions requires a Volkswagen ID and active We Connect licence. Depending on the vehicle model and its equipment, you can use your voice to control lots of vehicle features and online services with ease.
8.
ACC operates in a speed range between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 210 km/h (130 mph). This speed range may vary depending on the country. You can override ACC control at any time. When you brake, the control system is stopped. When you accelerate, it is interrupted for the duration of acceleration and then continues. If a trailer is attached to your vehicle, ACC offers less dynamic control. If the automatic deceleration triggered by ACC is not sufficient, the ACC will display a message in the instrument cluster prompting you to brake. The red warning lamp will light up and an audible warning will sound. ACC’s smart technology cannot override the laws of physics and operates exclusively within the system’s limitations. Drivers must never be led by the additional convenience into taking safety risks.
