Safety instructions

WARNING

Parking systems are not a replacement for the driver's attention and can only operate within the limitations of the system. The parking systems cannot detect all driving situations and may not react, or may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

  • Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the vehicle.
  • Always keep an eye on the direction of travel and the vehicle surroundings when parking.
  • Pay particular attention to small children, animals and objects when parking.
  • Do not allow the parking system's display to distract you from the traffic around you.
  • Bear in mind that the parking system may not react if the vehicle approaches too quickly and will not issue a warning.
  • Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.

NOTICE

When you maneuver in a parking space without a curb, the vehicle may be damaged by obstacles.

  • Keep a safe distance of approx. 50 cm (around 20 in) from walls and buildings.

Sensor and camera boundaries

Various sensors and cameras that detect the vehicle surroundings ultrasonically, by radar waves, and visually are located on and in the vehicle. The various parking systems use different combinations of sensors. All sensors have technical and physical limits → :

  • In some situations, some objects may not be detected, e.g. trailer draw bars, narrow poles, fences, posts, and trees, extremely low or high obstacles, or trunk lids that are opening or already open → .
  • The parking system coverage areas have "blind" spots in their range where they cannot detect people and objects.
  • Dirt, ice, or water on the sensors and cameras may be detected as obstacles or prevent the detection of objects in some cases. In addition to dirt and snow, soap residue or other coatings can also impair the sensor range (→ Vehicle care exterior).
  • External noises and certain surfaces on objects and clothing can affect the sensor signals. In some situations, people and objects may not be detected or may be detected incorrectly.
  • Certain objects, such as small posts or grating, cannot be shown or cannot be adequately shown due to the resolution of the screen and if there is insufficient lighting.
  • The cameras only show two-dimensional images on the screen. Due to the lack of depth of field, it may be difficult or impossible to identify protruding objects or recesses in the road.

Volkswagen recommends practicing with the parking systems in a location or parking space with no traffic in order to become acquainted with the functions.

Requirements

The use of parking systems, e.g. with camera assistance, may not be allowed in some countries and regions according to legal provisions.
