Is it possible to activate cruise control instead of speed limiter?

Hi.

Can you please only use English on Briskoda.

Dasvidanja.

I've sometimes wished that I could choose between ACC and normal CC as I don't need the car braking down hills on some roads.  Even with the aggressiveness set to comfort it would have been nice to flip the active part off.

 

Having said that, I'd still rather have ACC all the time rather than not at all.

Yeah BMW let you do this. One more reason why I'd like to upgrade to an X5.

Returned from country house today. 200 km trip, snowing. About half the way I was driving without any cruise control, because the snow blocked the radar. No radar, no ACC.

Braking down hills has been a standard feature of modern cruise control for a while - you set it to maintain 50mph and that’s what it will do, using engine braking and the brakes if necessary. 

ACC is different and nothing to do with hills - it will use the throttle and brakes to adjust speed to keep distance with the car in front of you, up to the speed you’ve set.

I was comparing to my previous MT2013 3T Superb 2, which did use engine braking, but did not apply the brakes on descent.  I guess it doesn't meet the definition of modern though, as it's based on the A5 platform that started at VAG circa 2004-ish.   It is that behavior that would have been nice to be able to be selected on-demand.  Having 3 options now though would mean they'd probably need to put the LIM/ACC button back on the cruise stalk (was taken away MY2019 when the Virtual Cockpit was introduced) to make mode selection faster (the menus on the screen are a bit slow).

 

Within the sphere of NS Kodiaq (this forum), Cruise Control does not use the brakes.  Active Cruise Control does. I don't think the speed limiter does (I've never used it), I think it just goes 'bong!'

 

 

ACC does brake to hold the speed at set levels, but you either brake once or just push the stalk slightly forward to disengage it without cancelling the speed set to coast down a hill, and then pull it forward again at the bottom of the hill to resume. It's not a chore, I do this all the time for roundabouts and moving up on slow cars to pass them when I don't want to change the ACC set distance etc. and have it braking all the time trying to match their speed. 

You can also lightly touch the accelerator too which disengages the brakes in the downhill situation when the ACC is set also of course, just like you can to cancel the autohold coming on.
