This will be my first DSG, and my first car with ACC... and I have a question!

 

My old BMW had normal cruise control, and that controlled the brakes - so if you decreased the set speed by more than a few mph, or were going down a steep hill, the cruise control used the brakes to get to / maintain the set speed. My Octavia (with normal cruise control) doesn't do this, and I've spent the last 3.5 years missing it (as well as the steering wheel controls that the BMW had)... but first-world problems and all that :-)

 

With ACC using the brakes to bring the car to a stop if the traffic in front stops, it obviously is hooked up to them unlike the normal cruise control. But does it also control the brakes in the scenarios above, or does it only control the brakes when it senses traffic in front slowing/stopping?

Going downhill it will try and keep you at the set speed, but it does let it 'creep' a little
