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

Introduction

The trailer maneuvering system(Trailer Assist) provides drivers with assistance when reverse maneuvering with a

trailer.

Trailer Assist steers a trailer in the direction you set with the knob for adjusting the outside mirrors. You operate the

accelerator pedal and the brake →

.

Trailer Assist determines the required data using the Rear View Camera system.

WARNING

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

Assist provides drivers with assistance when maneuvering a trailer and detects obstacles in the area around the

vehicle. In rare cases, the trailer moves from the desired setting. 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.

● Always monitor the movement of the trailer and if necessary interrupt the maneuvering process yourself.

● Do not rely solely on the information shown in the digital instrument cluster display.

● Brake the vehicle in good time using the brake pedal before reaching an obstacle.

Trailers with LED

taillights cannot always be detected correctly by Trailer Assist for technical reasons.

Prerequisites for Trailer Assist

Calibrating the trailer

To re-determine the drawbar length, the trailer must be calibrated with each change to the combination of vehicle

and trailer.

There are a maximum of four limits on the angle display: Approximately 30°, 45°, 60° and 75°.

The more accurately the system is able to calculate the drawbar, the more angles are available when maneuvering.

1. Attach the one or two-axle trailer and electrically connect with the vehicle.

2. Perform multiple, ideally different, turning and cornering maneuvers with the trailer.

Requirements

✓ The trailer with non-steering axles is properly connected.

✓ The drawbar must not be covered.

✓ The vehicle and trailer are stationary.

✓ The driver door and trunk lid are closed.

✓ The maximum trailer angle is not exceeded.

✓ The outside mirrors must not be folded in.

✓ ESC

is switched on.

✓ A driver interaction must occur within around three minutes, otherwise the maneuvering process will be

interrupted and Trailer Assist is deactivated.
