Volkswagen Golf Mk7 Service & Repair Manual: ACC — Adaptive Cruise Control

Note: on Volkswagen Golf Mk7 vehicles with ACC, the trim in the right-hand cover of the front bumper must not be painted during a repair job — extra paint thickness can affect the radar sensor located behind it.

  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.
