Have the system checked by a specialist

workshop.

Introduction to the topic

2) Examples of optical illusions caused by

cameras:

The Area View system helps to see the

vehicle's surroundings in real time and to

detect obstacles in good time.

The images from the cameras of the peripheral

vision system are only two-dimensional. Due to

the lack of spatial depth, it is difficult or

impossible to see on the screen any depressions

in the ground, objects protruding from the

ground or parts protruding from other vehicles.

Using multiple cameras, the system generates a

representation that is displayed on the

infotainment system screen.

Situations where objects or other vehicles are

shown closer or further away on the screen than

they actually are:

The functions and representations of the system

may vary depending on whether the vehicle is

equipped with parking assistance or not.

– If you go from a flat surface to a pen- dient

one.

– If moving from a slope to a flat surface.

Particularities

– If the vehicle is heavily laden on the tra-

sera side.

1) In the following cases the system shall not be

used:

– If the level control is faulty.

– If the vehicle approaches overhanging objects.

These objects may also be outside the angle

of visibility of the cameras when approaching

them.

– If a reliable image is not displayed or if the

image is distorted, e.g. in case of poor

visibility or if the lens is dirty.

System limitations

– If the area around the vehicle is unclear or

incompletely visualised.

Under certain circumstances, the camera does

not pick up objects such as e.g. towbars, bars,

fences, thin posts or trees, or an open or

opening tailgate, and

– If the vehicle is heavily laden on the tra-

sera side.

that could damage the vehicle.

Instruction manual

In some cases, dirt and ice on the sensors may

be detected as an obstacle.

WARNING

The image from the cameras cannot

accurately estimate the distance to obstacles

(people, vehicles, etc.) and their use could

lead to accidents and serious injuries.

● Camera lenses enlarge and distort the field

of view, and objects on the screen appear

different and inaccurate.

Driving with a trailer

● Never use warm or hot water to remove

snow or ice from camera lenses. Otherwise,

the lenses may be damaged.

The all-round vision system hides all lines and

auxiliary guidance surfaces when the factory-

fitted towing device is electrically connected to a

trailer.

In order to familiarise yourself with the

system and its functions, Volkswagen

recommends practising the operation of the

surround- vision system at a place where you can

see the vehicle's surroundings.

The car park is a good place to park without too much traffic

or in a car park.

NOTICE

● Never use an abrasive care product to clean

camera lenses.

Problems and solutions

Note , on page 234, and , at the beginning

of this chapter, on page 245.

There may be several causes:

– The cameras are dirty → p. 372. In addition

to dirt and snow, the visibility of the camera

can also be impaired by residues of cleaning

agents or coatings.

No images displayed, fault message, system

is switched off

– Clean the cameras or remove any stickers or

accessories from the cameras → p. 372.

– The system requirements must be fulfilled

→ p. 245.

– Check for visible damage.

– The chambers are covered with water.

hulls, e.g. as a result of a parking impact.

The electronic stabilisation programme helps to

reduce the risk of skidding and to improve

stability in certain driving situations by braking

the necessary wheels. The electronic

system.

stabilisation programme detects limiting driving

dynamics situations such as vehicle oversteer

and understeer or wheel slip. The system helps

to stabilise the vehicle by selectively

intervening on the brakes or by reducing the

engine torque.

– Changes have been made to the paintwork

in the area of the camera or structural

changes, e.g. to the front of the vehicle or to

the running gear.

Solution for all cases

– Switch off the system temporarily.

– Check if any of the above causes are present.

The electronic stabilisation programme has

limitations. It is very important to know that the

electronic stabilisation programme cannot

override the laws of physics. The electronic

stabilisation programme will not be able to

assist the driver in all situations that the driver

will encounter. For example, the electronic

stabilisation programme will not be able to

intervene whenever there is a sudden change in

road conditions. If, while driving on a dry road,

you suddenly enter a wet, muddy or snowy

section of the road, the electronic stabilisation

programme cannot intervene in the same way

as if the road was dry. In the case of "aquapla-

ning" (when driving on a film of water instead

of on the road), the electronic stabilisation

programme cannot help the driver to control

the vehicle because contact with the road

surface is lost and, as a result, the vehicle

cannot be braked or controlled.

– Once the source of the error has been

eliminated, the system can be switched

on again.

– If the system still behaves unusually, have it

by a specialist workshop

checked
