Not sure whether it's me but can't seem to activate CC without also activating ACC. I've used CC independently before but now seems can only use when ACC is active. Any help appreciated 😊

They just aren't separate. You've confused me, you activate it, if there's nowt in front it works like plain old CC but if come up behind traffic it'll slow you down to their speed and the set gap, accelerating if the vehicle in front does... 🤔

Thought CC and ACC were individually selectable?

Not as far as I know. Use ACC a great deal

Only on the configurator :D . Opting for ACC means you give up regular cruise control and the speed limiter.

Look in the Menu system you can turn on/off elements of the system, at least you can in Gen 1.

Not sure why you would want old fashioned cruise control in today’s traffic, I had it on my motors in the eighties and it was poor then, Automatic Cruise Control is vastly superior imo.

I have ACC on my five week old GTS and unless I have missed something it is on or off, I really like like as it is a big improvement on the system my Audi S4 had… but I would hope so with eleven years age difference.

I use it for almost all journeys apart from twisty country roads, it’s great for town or anything with start/stop queues

Not sure if it’s buried in this thread, but can anyone confirm that when ACC decides to brake the brake lights comes on?
