Rear view camera system for Your Volkswagen Tayron SUV First Generation (2018-2025)

The rear view camera system in the rear of the vehicle makes it easier for the driver to see behind the vehicle and provides support  
for parking manoeuvres.  
Function  
The rear view camera system shows the area behind the vehicle on the Infotainment system screen. Depending on the operating mode  
and equipment level, orientation lines aid the view to the rear →  
.
WARNING  
The reversing camera is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and works exclusively within the system limits. Using  
images from the camera to estimate the distance from persons or obstacles can be inaccurate. 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.  
Note that camera lenses can enlarge and distort the field of view.  
In the camera image, the orientation lines are shown by the system regardless of the vehicle surroundings. No automatic  
detection of obstacles by cameras takes place. Drivers must judge for themselves whether the vehicle will fit into the parking  
space.  
No orientation lines for the rear area will be shown in the camera image when a trailer is electrically connected to the factory-  
fitted towing bracket.  
No orientation lines will be shown when the boot lid is open on vehicles where the camera is installed in the boot lid.
