Get Lights and Vision -> Switching parking lights on and off Guide for Volkswagen Caddy SUV Fifth Generation (2020-2025)

● If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the main beam assist may be impaired.

This also applies if changes are made to the vehicle's lighting system, for example if additional headlights are

fitted.

NOTICE

Please observe the following points in order to avoid impairing the proper function of the system:

● Regularly clean the camera's field of view, and keep it free from snow and ice.

● Do not cover the camera's field of view.

● Regularly check the area of the windscreen that is in the camera's field of view for damage.

Light-emitting objects in the camera's field of operation, e.g. mobile navigation devices, could impair the

functions of the main-beam control (Light Assist).

Automatic switch-off of side lights and parking lights

The vehicle will detect a weak 12-volt vehicle battery and switch off the side lights or parking lights in good time so

that the engine can still be started – however, this will occur after two hours at the earliest.

If there is insufficient battery capacity for the side lights and parking lights to remain switched on for two hours, this

can discharge the 12-volt vehicle battery to such an extent that it will no longer be possible to start the engine →

WARNING

Accidents and serious injuries can occur if the vehicle is parked without sufficient illumination, as other road users

might have difficulty seeing the vehicle, or may not see it at all.

● Always park the vehicle securely and with sufficient lighting. Observe any applicable local legislation.

● If the vehicle lighting is required for several hours, switch on the right or left parking light if possible. The

activation duration of the one-sided parking light is generally double that of the continuous parking light on both

sides.

NOTICE

If the side lights or parking lights are used, the vehicle battery will discharge itself. To make it possible for the

engine to be restarted, the side lights or parking lights are switched off automatically to preserve the charge state

of the vehicle battery.

● If you cannot start the engine, you may want to seek assistance to help you jump start the vehicle and have the

battery checked by a qualified workshop.
