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.
