Parking and manoeuvring -> Park Distance Control for Your Volkswagen E Golf 4 Door Second Generation (2017-2020)

Park Distance Control  
Introduction to the topic  
The Park Distance Control system assists the driver when manoeuvring and parking.  
Fig. 1 On the Infotainment system screen: detection ranges of the Park Distance Control.  
Park Distance Control detects the distance from an obstacle by means of sensors in the front and  
rear areas of the vehicle (→ Front view, Overview) (→ Rear view, Overview). If there is an  
obstacle in the detection range of the sensors, the system indicates this on the Infotainment  
system screen and by means of acoustic signals Fig. 1 .  
Settings  
Depending on the vehicle equipment, settings for Park Distance Control can be adjusted in the  
Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu, Operation).

WARNING  
The intelligent technology used in the parking systems cannot overcome the laws of physics,  
and functions only within the system limits. This may result in accidents, serious injuries and  
also damage to the vehicle.  
The parking system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.  
NOTICE  
Do not continue driving! The collision area has been reached when the penultimate segment is  
displayed, if not before.
