The ParkPilot assists  the driver  when manoeuvring 
and parking . If the vehicle is approaching  an obsta
cle located in the range of the ultrasound sensors , 
an intermittent  acoustic warning is sounded , de
pending on the distance . The shorter the distance , 
the shorter the intervals . The acoustic  warning will 
sound continuously if the obstacle is very close . 
The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers  transmit 
and receive ultrasound waves. The  system  uses 
the time difference  between the ultrason ic waves 
(i.e. between  the transmission  and reflection  from 
obstacles and the point of reception)  to continu
ously calculate the distance  between  the bumper 
and the obstacle.

A WARNING 
The ParkPilot cannot replace the full concen
tration of the driver. 
• Unintentional vehicle movements can 
cause serious injury. 
• Always adapt your speed and driving style 
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con
ditions. 
• Ultrasound sensors have blind spots in 
Which obstacles and people cannot be detec
ted '--. 
A WARNING (Continued) ~-
• Always monitor the area around the vehi
cle as the ultrasound sensors will not always 
detect infants, animals and objects. 
• Certain surfaces of objects and clothes 
cannot reflect the signals from the ultrasound 
sensors. The system is unable to detect 
these objects or people wearing this type of 
clothing, or they may be detected incorrectly. 
• External sources of sound can affect the 
signals of the ultrasound sensors. In certain 
circumstances, the system may not recog
nise people or objects. 
A WARNING ~-. 
Automatic activation of the ParkPilot only oc
curs at very low speeds. An inappropriate 
driving style can cause accidents and serious 
injuries. 
• Always bear in mind the time delay be
tween the signals. 
• The ultrasound sensors may not always be 
able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars, 
thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open or 
opening tailgates. This can result in damage to 
your vehicle. 
• If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle 
and issued a warning, the obstacle may move 
out of the detection range of the sensors as the 
vehicle approaches it, particularly if the object 
is very high or very low. These objects are no 
longer registered. 
• The vehicle can sustain considerable dam
age if the warning given by the ParkPilot is ig
nored. 
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumper can 
be displaced or damaged through impacts, e.g. 
when parking. 
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers 
must be kept clean and free of ice and snow 
and not be covered up by stickers or other 
items, as these may prevent the system from 
working properly.

A WARNING 
Using cameras to estimate the distance from 
obstacles (persons, vehicle etc. ) is inaccurate 
and can cause accidents and severe injuries. 
• The  camera lens enlarges and distorts the 
field of vision and makes objects on the 
screen appear to be different and imprecise. 
• Certain objects, for example narrow posts 
or grids , may be difficult or impossible to see 
on the screen because of its low resolution or 
poor light conditions. 
• The camera has blind spots within which 
obstacles and people cannot be detected. 
• Keep the camera lens clean, free of snow 
and ice and do not cover it. 
A WARNING 
~------------~--------~~~------~ The technology of the Rear Assist system 
cannot overcome the laws of physics or sys
tem-related vehicle limitations. Careless or 
unintentional use of the Rear Assist system 
can cause accidents and severe injuries. The 
system is not a substitute for the full concen
tration of the driver. 
• Adapt your speed and driving style to suit 
visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions. 
• Keep looking to check the direction in 
which you are parking and the relevant area 
around the vehicle. The front of the vehicle 
swings out more than the rear of the vehicle. 
• 
Do not allow the images shown on the 
screen to distract you from the traffic around 
you. 
• Always monitor the area around the vehi
cle as the cameras will not always detect in
fants, animals and objects. 
• The system may not be able to d isplay all 
areas clearly. 
• The Rear Assist system should only be 
used when the tailgate is fully closed. 
• The camera only shows two-dimensional 
images on the screen. The lack of depth of field 
means that recesses and protruding objects on 
the ground may only be detected with difficulty, 
or may not be detected at all. 
• The camera may not always be able to de
tect objects such as thin rails, fences, posts, 
trees etc. This can result in damage to your ve
hicle.

ss is t s y ste m should  not be used in the following situations: 
-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 .

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.
