4.9 Information system Area View overhead view camera
Practical note
For converted vehicles equipped with Area View and Cross
Traffic Alert (CTA) where the vehicle mass or geometry is
significantly changed, we recommend that you have the
vertical alignment of the radar checked by a Volkswagen
Commercial Vehicles partner or importer.

Do not apply decals / repair compound to these areas
as this may adversely affect the performance of the
system and block or obstruct the radar beam.
The Area View overhead view camera warning
indicator(s) may turn on in heavy rain even though no
vehicle(s) has/have entered the blind zone.
If the tail light clusters are changed, the Area View
overhead view camera and CTA warning indicators
may give false warnings or fail to detect objects.
If the radar beam is blocked or obstructed, the Area
View overhead view camera and CTA warning
indicators may give false warnings or fail to detect
objects.

If your vehicle has a ball coupling with a factory-
equipped trailer tow module and is towing a trailer,
the Area View overhead view camera and CTA sensor
will automatically switch off if you do not set up and
select a valid trailer in the trailer menu. If your vehicle
has a ball coupling but not a factory-equipped trailer
tow module, we recommend that you manually switch
off both Area View and CTA. Operating the Area View
overhead view camera feature with a trailer attached
but without the blind spot trailer towing package will
result in unsatisfactory system power.
