—It may be difficult or impossible to see objects such as narrow posts or railings on the screen because of its low
resolution or poor light conditions.
—The cameras show only two-dimensional images on the screen. The lack of depth of field means that potholes and
protruding objects on the ground may only be detected with difficulty, or may not be detected at all.
—The system displays the orientation lines irrespective of the area surrounding the vehicle. There is no automatic
obstacle detection. Drivers must judge for themselves whether the vehicle will fit into the parking space.
WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the parking systems cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only
within the system limits. Never let the extra convenience afforded by the parking systems tempt you into taking any
risks when driving. The parking systems cannot replace the full concentration of the driver.
● Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
● Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury.
● Keep looking in the direction in which you are parking and at the relevant area surrounding the vehicle.
● Do not allow the displays in the instrument cluster and the images shown in the Infotainment system to distract
you from the traffic.
● Always monitor the area around the vehicle as the parking systems will not always detect infants, animals and
objects.
● The parking systems have blind spots in which obstacles and people are not registered.
● External sources of sound and certain surfaces on objects and clothing may influence the sensors' signals. In
certain circumstances, the systems will be unable to detect or properly detect people and objects.
● Certain objects, for example narrow posts or railings, may be difficult or impossible to see on the screen because
of its low resolution or poor light conditions.
● If objects are approached too quickly, the response times for the signals and displays of the parking systems may
not be fast enough for a warning to be issued.
NOTICE
The ultrasound sensors may not always be able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin bars, fences, posts,
trees and open or opening boot lids. This can result in damage to your vehicle.
NOTICE
Observe a distance of 50 cm from walls and buildings in parking spaces without kerbs in order to avoid damage to
the vehicle.
NOTICE
If an ultrasound sensor fails, the corresponding ultrasound sensor group area is switched off and cannot be
reactivated until the fault has been rectified. Consult a qualified workshop in the event of a system fault.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends using a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership for this
purpose.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that drivers practise using the parking systems in a traffic-
calmed area or car park to allow them to familiarise themselves with the systems and their functions.
Automatic braking intervention
The automatic braking intervention serves to reduce collisions.
If the vehicle is equipped with the automatic braking intervention function, this can initiate emergency braking as
soon as an obstacle is detected when driving forward and reversing.
The following systems may be available depending on the vehicle equipment:
—Manoeuvre braking function of Park Distance Control .
—Emergency braking function of Park Assist .
