The area in fron t of and around the radar sensor
must not be covered by objects such as stickers or
auxiliary headlights, as this can impair the function
of Front Assist.
Any structural modifications to the vehicle, e .g .
l
owering the vehicle or making alterations to the
front end tri m , can impair the function of Front As­
sist. Structural mod1fictions should therefore only
be carried out by a qualifie d workshop. Volkswa­
gen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership
for th is purpose.
Incorrectly performed repa irs to the fron t end of the
vehic le can alter the position of the radar sensor
and therefore tmpai r the functi on of Front Assist.
Repair work should therefore only be carrie d out
y a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends
u sm g a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
CD
Switch off Front Assist if you suspect that the
radar sensor has been damaged or its positio n
has been altered. This can help to prevent fur­
ther damage. Have the radar sensor realigned.
• The radar sensor could be moved if it is hit
for example in parking manoeuvres. Readjust-'
ing the sensor could impair the performance of
t h e system or cause it to be switched off.
• Repair work on the radar sensor w ill require
special knowledge and tools. Volkswagen rec­
ommends using a Volkswagen dealership for
this purpose.
• Remove snow with a brush, and remove ice
preferably with a solvent-free de-leer spray. ~rating the area monitoring system (Front Assist)
