Park Distance Control -> Introduction to the topic for Your Volkswagen Polo SUV Seventh Generation (2021-2025)

Park Distance Control assists the driver when parking and provides warnings about obstacles.  
Function  
Park Distance Control uses ultrasound sensors to detect the distance of the vehicle from an obstacle.  
Park Distance Control warns about a collision by means of colour segments on the Infotainment system screen and acoustic signals →  
.
An automatic braking intervention can take place if the driver does not react when an obstacle is approaching (depending on  
equipment) (→ Automatic braking intervention).  
WARNING  
The Park Distance Control system is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the limits of the  
system. Park Distance Control may possibly not detect some obstacles and may not react or may react with a delay or in an undesired  
way. If you do not pay due attention, there is a risk of accidents and serious injuries.  
Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is always responsible for all driving tasks.  
React promptly to the visual and acoustic warnings of Park Distance Control.  
Use the foot brake to brake the vehicle before an obstacle.  
NOTICE  
Visual and acoustic warnings are given only for obstacles in the vehicle path. The collision area has been reached when the  
penultimate segment is displayed on the Park Distance Control screen or a continuous acoustic warning sounds, if not before. There  
is a risk of damage to the vehicle.  
Always brake the vehicle in good time before an obstacle.  
NOTICE  
With some equipment levels, distances to obstacles in the side areas are also displayed. An obstacle entering these areas from the  
outside will not be displayed. This may result in damage to the vehicle.  
Drive the vehicle a few metres forwards or backwards in order to scan and display the side areas in full.  
Displays  
Infotainment system: display of Park Distance Control with  
rear sensors (depending on equipment).
