Hello everyone,

I really don't like the standard implementation of the cruise control functions. Every time you're, for example, 'cruising' at 150 km/h on the highway and then disengage the cruise control (by briefly tapping the brake or using the stalk switch), all the passengers lurch forward noticeably. Similarly, it's annoying when you re-activate the cruise control and accelerate quickly back up to, say, 150 km/h; a sudden jolt in the neck causes discomfort for both my passengers and myself.I much prefer the adaptation in the BMW; everything just feels less abrupt.

Kann man daran etwas ändern? With VAGCOM?
Thank you for your tips.

I'm not aware of anything like that.

ONLY my cruise control works differently:

"If you press the brake or clutch pedal, he MUST immediately release the accelerator fully; anything else would be technically nonsensical. When I turn it off at the lever, it gently reduces the throttle, with no jerking or jolting."

The resume function works differently on the MSA12 and MSA15 cruise control systems (although yours is much newer).

MSA12: The acceleration restarts at 0 mg/h, which means a slowing down followed by an acceleration only when you take your foot off the accelerator immediately after reaching RES. However, the G-force eventually increases to its maximum value.

MSA15: Resumption starts with the current energy level and takes over "immediately." The RES acceleration is gradual and does not feel like it's being driven at full throttle.

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

... there was another T.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Or like this:

While using cruise control, press the accelerator pedal, then disengage the cruise control and gradually release the accelerator.
During the reset process, the motor should gradually increase its speed or load, rather than immediately reaching 100%.
There might be something wrong if it makes a jerking motion.

Regarding my ASZ engine in a Golf IV, I can only confirm Martin's observations. It's true that it immediately reduces power when you release the accelerator pedal during braking, and there's no noticeable "nod" when turning off the ignition switch on the steering column. When accelerating and holding down the "+" button, you can also see from the increasing instantaneous fuel consumption that it takes a few seconds before it delivers full power (estimated to be around 3 seconds), which is why there's no "nod" in that situation either.

Yes, you are right.
I've experimented with the GRA in more detail again. Your experiences align with my current findings.
Thema ist also erledigt. Thank you.
