Get Park Distance Control Guide for Volkswagen Tayron SUV First Generation (2018-2025)

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

→ Fig. 1, →

An automatic braking intervention can take place if the driver does not react when an obstacle is approaching (→ 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.

No sensor visibility, or there is a fault in the Park Distance Control

The sensor area is switched off permanently if a sensor fails. The symbol indicates the affected sensor area in the Infotainment

system.

If there is a fault in the Park Distance Control, a signal tone will sound for several seconds when it is switched on. A text message may
