-If the rear of the ve hi cle is heavily loaded.
-If tl'e driv er is no t famili a r with the sy s tem .
-If the pos ition or angl e of the cam era has changed, e.g . following a rear-end collision. The system
sh ould be checked by a qualifi ed workshop.
2) Optica l deception by the camera :
The Rear Ass is t r eve rs ing camera only supplies two-dimen sional image s. Due to the lack of depth of field
on the sc ree n, potho les and dips in the ground , protruding parts on another ve hicle or protruding objects
on the gro und may be difficult or impossible to see on the image .
Objects or other ve hicles m ay appear closer or further away on the screen than they actually are.
-If you d rive from a le ve l surface onto an upward or downward slope.
-If you drive from an upward or downward slope onto a level surface .
-If the rear of th e ve hi cle is hea vily loaded .

Whe n app roac hing protruding objects. Su ch obje cts can leave the camera 's field of vision while you are
r e ve rs
ing.
Cleaning the camera lens
Keep the cam era le ns clean and free of ice and
s n o w :
• Switch o n the ignition .
• Switch on the electronic parking brake.
• Selec t re ve rse gea r.
• Moisten the le ns with a commercially available
alcohol- b ase d glass clea ner and clean the le ns
with a dry clot h ~CD.
• Remove snow with a brush .
• Remove ice with a de -ice r spray ~CD.
• Never use an abrasive cleaning product to
clean the lens.
•
Never use warm or hot water to remove
snow and ice from the lens of the camera . The
lens could otherwise be damaged.
m lt is not possible to open the tailgate if the
W V olkswagen badge is folded out.
m Volkswagen reco mmends that you practise
W parking with the rear assist system in a traf­
fic-calmed area or car park with good vision and
we ather conditions .
In this way you can become
familiar with the system and the orientation lines in
a safer environment.
m The rear assist system cannot be switched
W on if the tailgate is open . <1

Interrupting or automatically stopping the
parking procedure
The Park Ass is t system will stop the parking proce­
dure if th e following happens :
• The 8 button is pressed.
• The ve hi cle spee d when parking is higher than
app roxim ate ly
7 km /h (4 mph).
• The driver operates the steering wheel.
• The parking procedure was not completed with­
in approximately 6 minutes of activating the auto­
matic stee ring intervention .
• There is a system fault (system is temporarily
un ava ilable) .
•
The TCS is switched off or the TCS or ESP
starts to regulate .
r::l The Park Assist system has system-related
l!J limitations . For example, the Park Assist sys­
t e m cannot help you to park the
vehicle on tight
b e nd s.
r::l Wh en parking parallel to the road , a warning
L!J signal can be heard to tell the driver to switch
between driving forwards and reversing because
the change
of direct ion should not take place in the
permanent tone area
of the ParkPilot.
r::l The progress bar in the instrument cluster
l!J display will symbolically indicate the relative
distance remaining .
W If the Park Assist system turns the steering
l!J wheel when the vehicle is stationary , the 6l
symbol appears as well. Depress the brake pedal
so that the steering movement takes place with the
vehicle stationary, keeping the required number of
parking movements to a minimum.
r::l If the parking result worsens after a wheel is
~ changed, the system will first have to syn­
chronise
itself with the new wheel. The synchroni­
sation procedure is carried out
automatically while
the vehicle is in motion. You can support this proc­
ess by driving slowly (less than 20 km/h (12 mph))
through a bend, e.g. in an empty car park. Driver assist systems 215

Getting out of a parking space
• Sta rt th e e ngin e.
• Pr es s the~~ Fig . 158 button . An indicator
lamp lights up in the button when the function is
switch ed on .
• Press the turn sign al lever for the side of the
str ee t wh ere the parking space is that you want to
g e t
out of.
• Sele ct re verse gear.
• Follow the instructions of the Park Assist sys­
tem .

Automatic brake intervention
r-('n :irst rea~ and observe the introductory
L-lc:JJ 1nformat1on and safety warnings ~ on
page
213.
The park assist system helps the driver by braking
automatically . The automatic braking does not re­
place the driver's responsibility for the accelerator
brake and
clutch ~ £. '
A parking manoeuvre will be interrupted if a speed
of approximately 7 km /h (4 mph) is exceeded .
Automatic brake intervention to avoid
excess speed
An automatic brake intervention may occur to pre­
vent .the
vehicle from exceeding a speed of ap­
proximately 7 km/h (4 mph) . The parking manoeu­
vre can be cont inued after the automatic brake in­
t e rvention .
The automatic br a
ke intervention can take place
once per parking manoeuvre .
216 I While driving
---• The Park Assi~t syste.m will operate only the
steering wheel whrle gettrng out of the parking
space .
The driver operates the accelerator
. ' clutch, gear shaft and brake.
• If it is possible to pull out of the parking space
the Park Assist
system is ended automatically . '
Take
over steering and, if the traffic situation allows
it, pull out of the parking space.
Automatic cancellation for getting out of a
parking space
The Park Assist system will cancel the procedure
of getting out of the parking space if one of the fo l­
lowing happens :
• The vehicle speed when getting out of the park­
ing space is higher than approximately 7 km/h
(4 mph).
• The driver operates the steering wheel.
•
There is a system fault (system is temporarily
unavailable).
• The TCS is switched off or the TCS or ESP
starts to regulate . ~
Automatic brake intervention to minimise
damage
~hen approaching an obstacle, automatic braking
Intervention may occur. The Park Assist system
may bring the vehicle to a standstill before the ob­
stacle under certain conditions , e .g . weather, ultra­
sound detection , conditions of the car, load or in­
cline .
•
Depress the brake pedal ~ &!
The. Park Assist system is ended following an auto­
matic brake intervention to minimise damage.
A WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded bY
the P~rk Assist system tempt you into takin~
any nsks when driving -this can cause accl
dents. The system is not a substitute tor the
full concentration of the driver.
• You should always be prepared to brake ,
the
vehicle yourself.

Stationary phase (only vehicles with
autornatic gearbox)
If the adap tive cruise control has decele ra t d the
vehicle to a standstill, the adapt.ive cruise contr o l
will not be switched off automatically wh en the
brake pedal is depressed .
The electronic parking brake will be activated auto4
matically and the adap tive cruise control will be
switched off if one of the following situations occurs
while the vehicle is stationary:
• The safety be lt is unfastened .
• The driver's door is opened.
• The ignition is switched off.
• The stationary phase lasts longer than approxi4
mately 3 minutes .
Driving off after a stationary phase (only
vehicles with automatic gearbox)
After a stationary phase, the adaptive cruise con­
trol can start the vehicle moving automatically as
soon as the vehicle in front begins to move again.
Overtaking
If the turn signal is activated when starting an over­
taking manoeuvre , the adaptive cruise control ac­
celerates the vehicle automatically and thus re­
duces the distance to the vehicle in front.
If you move your vehicle into the overtaking lane
and there is no vehicle ahead of you , the ACC will
automatically increase the speed to your set level
and maintain it.
Acceleration can be stopped at any point
by de­
Pressing the brake pedal or pressing the @ button
on the multifunction steering wheel ~page 229.
When driving through bends
While dr iving through bends, the radar sensor may
sometimes lose the ve hicle travelling ahead or
rnay r eac t to a ve hicle in the next lane
; Fig. 169 A. In such situations, the vehicle might
.
ecel e rate unnec essarily or not react to the veh icle
In front. In this case the driver must override the
Abcc by depressing the accelerator, or interrupt the rak· lng procedure by depressing the brake peda l
or Pressing the ~ button on the multifunction
ste · ~ enng wh eel ~page 229.
