Get Parking and Maneuvering -> Rear View Camera system Guide for Volkswagen Touran 4 Door Third Generation (2022-2025)

Introduction

The Rear View Camera system in the rear of the vehicle makes it easier for the driver to see behind the vehicle and

assists when parking.

How it works

The Rear View Camera system shows the area behind the vehicle on the Infotainment system screen. Depending on

the mode and vehicle equipment, orientation lines may assist in the view toward the rear →

WARNING

.

The Rear View Camera system is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system

limitations. Using the camera image to estimate the distance to people or obstacles may not be precise. If you do

not take care, there is a risk of accidents and serious injuries.

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

vehicle.

● Bear in mind that camera lenses can enlarge and distort the field of vision.

The orientation lines superimposed on the camera image are shown by the system regardless of the vehicle's

surroundings. There is no automatic obstacle detection by the camera while it is active. The driver must

evaluate whether the vehicle will fit in the parking space.

If a trailer is connected to the factory-installed trailer hitch, all orientation lines for the rear area are hidden in

the camera image.

If a camera is installed in the trunk lid, the orientation lines are also hidden if the trunk lid is

open.

CAUTION

Vehicles with a swiveling emblem: The Rear View Camera system extending can cause serious injuries due to

entrapment.

● When engaging reverse gear, make sure that there are no persons directly against the trunk lid and that nobody is

reaching into the range of operation of the Volkswagen emblem.
