Get Parking and Maneuvering -> Park Assist Guide for Volkswagen Touran 4 Door Third Generation (2022-2025)

Introduction

Park Assist displays a suitable parking space and assists the driver when parking and leaving the parking space.

How it works

Park Assist is an extension of Park Distance Control.

Park Assist steers the vehicle into a parking space while the driver operates the accelerator pedal and the brake and,

when prompted, changes the selector lever position or gear →

Available functions

.

—Displaying suitable parking spaces in the Infotainment system.

—Change the parking space selection in the Infotainment system.

—Driving into a suitable parallel parking space or parking bay.

—Driving out of a suitable parallel parking space.

The driver should continuously monitor the area surrounding the vehicle→ . Automatic braking support may

intervene if there are obstacles in the vehicle's path or in dangerous situations (→ Automatic braking support).

If the driver accelerates too much during the parking process, automatic braking support may occur. The

parking process can then be resumed.

The speed when driving past the parking space should be as follows: forparking spaces parallel to the road,

maximum approx. 40 km/h (approx. 25 mph), and forparking spaces across the road,maximum approx.

20 km/h (approx. 12 mph).

The distance when driving past the parking space should be between approx 0.5 m(approx 1.6 ft) and approx.

2 m (approx. 6.5 ft).

Driving with a trailer

Park Assist cannot be activated if a trailer is connected to the electrical system.

If the trailer hitch was not installed at the factory, Park Assist must be manually deactivated.

WARNING

Park Assist is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Park Assist

cannot detect all driving situations and may not react, may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not

desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

● Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the

vehicle.

● In a hazardous situation, apply the brakes using the brake pedal.

WARNING

If you use another function in the Infotainment system when maneuvering with the parking system, all active

parking functions will switch off, including the warning chimes. You will no longer be warned about a collision or

receive intervention. Accidents and serious or fatal injuries could result.

● Do not use any other functions in the Infotainment system while maneuvering.

NOTICE

Park Assist orients itself to parked vehicles, curbs, or other objects. If there are obstacles on the ground, low-down

vehicle components such as tires and wheel rims may be damaged.

● Watch out for obstacles on the ground when parking.

● Brake and stop the parking process if necessary.

NOTICE

Aftermarket accessories mounted on the vehicle, such as bicycle racks, can interfere with the Park Assist

functionality and can cause damage.

● Do not use Park Assist if there are attachments fitted on the vehicle.
