Hello, I noticed something that I thought was a bit strange.

I have a Manual gear box Polo AW -2018 with the radar, ACC.
I know that the car automatically hold gas when moving forward without me putting the fot on the gas on low speed.
But today I noticed that it also hold the gas (me not touching the gas pedal) when going into reverse. Is it suppose to do that also? Is your Manual gearbox Polo AW also doing that?

thanks for the answer.

Im switching from a very old car, so not used to all the new stuff and unsure if it was faulty or suppose to be like that.
