Park Assist -> Searching for parking spaces for Your Volkswagen Atlas SUV First Generation (2018-2023)

Park Assist steers the vehicle into a parking space while you operate the accelerator pedal, the gears and the brake  
.
WARNING  
The intelligent technology of the Park Distance Control (PDC) cannot overcome the natural laws of physics and it can only operate within the limits of the  
system. Not paying attention can result in accidents, serious injuries and vehicle damage.  
Pay close attention to the parking process and the traffic. Keep an eye on the parking direction at the same time.  
In a hazardous situation, apply the brakes using the brake pedal.  
Available functions

Select parking mode.  
Driving into a suitable parallel parking space or parking bay.

NOTICE  
Park Assist orients itself to parked vehicles, curbs, or other objects. Make sure that subjacent vehicle parts such as tires and rims are not damaged when  
parking.  
If necessary, press the brake pedal and end the parking process.  
Aftermarket accessories mounted on the vehicle, such as bicycle racks, can interfere with Park Assist and can cause damage.  
Automatic braking support may occur during parking processes if the driver accelerates too much.  
Driving with a trailer  
Park Assist cannot be activated if a trailer is connected to the electrical system.  
If the trailer hitch was not installed at the factory, Park Assist must be manually deactivated in trailer mode.

WARNING  
There is the risk of an accident, if you open and use another function besides the parking function on the Infotainment system while maneuvering with the Park  
Distance Control or the Park Assist. If this happens, all active parking functions, including the audible warnings, are shut down. You will therefore no longer be  
warned about a possible collision or receive intervention.  
Do not use any other Infotainment system functions while maneuvering, other than the active parking function.  
Park Assist can be activated afterwards. If you drive past a suitable parking space, this will be indicated.
