Introduction
Trailer Assist helps the driver when reversing or manoeuvring the vehicle when towing a trailer.
The trailer manoeuvring system steers a trailer and is operated by pushing and pulling the switch for setting the
exterior mirror. The driver must control the accelerator, gear changes and brake!
System limits
Please note the following to ensure the system works correctly:
—The camera is clean and free from snow and ice.
—The camera is free from stickers and other objects.
—The drawbar is not covered.
—The boot lid is closed.
NOTICE
Risk of vehicle damage. Trailer Assist is not oriented to the vehicle environment and does not detect any obstacles
in the surrounding area.
● Check whether there is sufficient space to manoeuvre the trailer.
● Observe the movement of the trailer and cancel the manoeuvre if necessary in order to avoid damage. On rare
occasions the trailer may behave differently, even when Trailer Assist is operated correctly.
● Do not rely solely on the instrument cluster displays.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that drivers practise using the trailer manoeuvring system in a
traffic-calmed area or car park to familiarise themselves with the system and its functions.
If there is no driver interaction within approximately three minutes, the manoeuvre is terminated and Trailer
Assist is ended.
