MK7.5 ACC adaptive cruise control - right lane overtaking

[komoornik]

Is it possible to disable this via VCDS/OBD11?

ACC is slowing down not to overtake using right lane - which is allowed in my country.

Yes. See adaptions in module 13

Which channel is that? I can only see something like Predictive speed limit regulation.

That only puts a tick box in the acc menu, I think the guy meant long coding not adaptions, there is a lane change support and a overtaking assistance and a overtaking right prevention settings in there, not sure what they do



What at does it do, does it cancel braking if you put the indicator on?

[komoornik]

It slows down. Stops slowing down if i push accelerator or res button.

What's the bit and byte for overtaking right protection? I dont have description in vcds.

I’ll have a look tomorrow for you, but my car does stop slowing if I press the accelerator or it I put the indicator on if I want to overtake, but slowly unless I have it in S mode on the DSG

that any help

Thank you, all I need!

My Arty has this problem too ...slowing down on ACC for no apparent reason other than traffic to the right of me on the freeway on intermittent occassions on straight roads until i give the go pedal a boot

That apparent reason is because in Australia it is illegal to overtake on the left. I realize that the majority of drivers in this country dont give a **** but it is still illegal and a legal requirement for VW to prevent your car from overtaking on the left.

Happened to me today on the M1. Super annoying. Would be great to be able to turn that off.

Are you sure about that ? According to the official NSW Transport site it is OK to overtake on the left if both vehicles are travelling in marked lanes.

You must overtake on the right unless a vehicle is waiting to turn right, is stationary, or if you and the other vehicle are travelling in marked lanes. In these instances you may overtake on the left side if it is safe.

It is illegal to drive in the right lane unless overtaking but quite a few "entitled" drivers think it is perfectly OK. It's even worse when you get two dingbats who decide to drive along next to each other for several kilometres 10 (or even 20) kms slower than the posted speed limit - creates a great big caterpiller of frustrated drivers.

Same as the UK, but it’s also illegal to stay in a overtaking lane, so technically this feature should not ever be needed but we also have drivers that get into lane 2 (and lane 3) and think it’s acceptable to drive in them lane, and wonder why people get frustrated of being stuck behind them, and you can see they get physically shocked when you either flash them or toot them to get out of the way

It’s is illegal to both: pass on the left if the speed limit is 80 kph or higher and, to hog the right hand lane unless overtaking. And no, doing the speed limit does not entitle you to sit in the right hand lane.

A recent media article about banning all trucks from right lanes, even on two lane highways, also indicated that traffic cops may soon be taking a far more dim view of right lane hogs, as it frustrates other drivers and causes them to pass on the left which can result in accidents. We shall see how that pans out. Apparently the powers that be are starting to realise that focusing purely on speed isn’t lowering the road toll. Probably because pure speed alone only seems to account for less than 10% of accidents. It may be a “factor” in most accidents, but the other factor is usually much bigger, such as being pissed, stupid and/or too aggressive.

Guys the M1 is like 4 lanes wide up here and simetimes you dont have any other option when the person in front decided to do 80km in 110km zone
