(→ Parking systems).

The following functions are supported:

—Displaying a suitable parking space.

—Selecting a parking mode

—Driving into suitable parallel and bay parking spaces,

—Driving out of a parallel parking space.

Please also observe the text messages in the instrument cluster display and the Infotainment system.

WARNING

The intelligent technology used in the parking systems cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only

within the system limits. If this is not observed, this can result in accidents, serious injuries and also damage to the

vehicle.

● Pay careful attention to the parking procedure and the traffic around you. Keep looking in the direction in which

you are parking.

● Use the foot brake to slow the vehicle in a hazardous situation.

WARNING

Fast rotational steering wheel movements can cause serious injury.

● When manoeuvring, do not reach for the steering wheel until prompted to do so by the system.

● Exception: If a dangerous situation occurs, intervene and take over the steering.

NOTICE

Park Assist uses parked vehicles, the kerb and other objects as guidance. Please ensure that the wheels and tyres are

not damaged when parking the vehicle.

● If necessary, terminate the parking procedure ahead of time.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that you practise using the parking assist system in a traffic-

calmed area or car park. This will allow you to familiarise yourself with the system and its functions in a safer

environment.

Any equipment that has been retrofitted to the vehicle, e.g. bicycle carriers, can prevent Park Assist from

functioning properly and may cause damage.

Park Assist cannot be activated if the vehicle detects an electrically connected trailer

When carrying out parking manoeuvres, the vehicle may be braked if the driver accelerates too

strongly.

The parking function and the acoustic warnings will be deactivated if other functions are operated on the

Infotainment system during a parking operation.

Park Assist switches itself off if the driver door, sliding door and/or the boot lid are

open.
