Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: ACC — Adaptive Cruise Control

Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual / General information, paint / General notes / ACC — Adaptive Cruise Control

Note

On vehicles with ACC, the trim in the right-hand cover of the front bumper must not be painted during a repair paint job or replacement. The ACC system located behind can become operational due to the thickness of the added paint layer.

The cover over the distance control sensor in the bumper grille consists of radar-permeable material. The cover is heatable, in order to prevent functions from being impaired by snow and ice.

All changes to the surface, such as retrospective paintwork, stickers and other retrospectively applied objects may result in functional impairment.
