NOTICE
When you maneuver in a parking space without a curb, the vehicle may be damaged by obstacles.
Keep a safe distance of approx. 50 cm (around 20 in) from walls and buildings.
Sensor and camera boundaries
Various sensors and cameras that detect the vehicle surroundings ultrasonically, by radar waves, and visually are located on
and in the vehicle. The various parking systems use different combinations of sensors. All sensors have technical and physica
limits ⇒
In some situations, some objects may not be detected, e.g. trailer draw bars, narrow poles, fences, posts, and trees,
extremely low or high obstacles, or trunk lids that are opening or already open ⇒
:
.
The parking system coverage areas have “blind” spots in their range where they cannot detect people and objects.
Dirt, ice, or water on the sensors and cameras may be detected as obstacles or prevent the detection of objects in some
cases. In addition to dirt and snow, soap residue or other coatings can also impair the sensor range → page , Exterior
care and cleaning.
External noises and certain surfaces on objects and clothing can affect the sensor signals. In some situations, people an
objects may not be detected or may be detected incorrectly.
Certain objects, such as small posts or grating, cannot be shown or cannot be adequately shown due to the resolution of
the screen and if there is insufficient lighting.
The cameras only show two-dimensional images on the screen. Due to the lack of depth of field, it may be difficult or
impossible to identify protruding objects or recesses in the road.
Volkswagen recommends practicing with the parking systems in a location or parking space with no traffic in order to
become acquainted with the functions.
Requirements
The use of parking systems, e.g. with camera assistance, may not be allowed in some countries and regions according to
legal provisions.
General information
So that the sensors and cameras can detect the area surrounding the vehicle as well as possible and display this image on
the Infotainment system screen, the following requirements must be met.
The doors and trunk lid are closed.
The outside mirrors must not be folded in.
Sensors or cameras are not covered by attachments, e.g. bicycle rack systems, or license plate holders with decorative
frames. The decorative license plate holder must not protrude at the sides or bottom.
The vehicle must be on level ground.
The vehicle must not be loaded primarily in the rear or on one side.
Engine is running.
Braking assistance systems such as ESC or ASR are switched on.
If you use any other functions in the Infotainment system while you are parking, the parking function and its warning
chimes will be deactivated.
