Muting Park Distance Control
The acoustical PDC warnings can be muted by tapping the function key in the Infotainment System.
You must tap the function key again to reactivate the acoustic warnings.
Muting is cancelled by switching Park Distance Control back on after it was switched off. The warning
messages cannot be switched off.
.WARNING
Never rely completely on the OPS for information about people and objects that might be in
the way of the vehicle and could be struck by the vehicle causing serious personal injury.
x The OPS sensors have blind spots where they cannot detect persons or objects.
x Never pay so much attention to the OPS and the graphics shown on the screen that you
fail to notice what is going on around you.
x Always watch for people, especially small children and animals, because the sensors may
not always be able to detect them.
.NOTICE
Automatic activation of OPS when approaching an obstacle works only when your speed falls
below a threshold of about 6 - 9 mph (10 - 15 km/h). If you then close the display, you must
either switch the ignition off and back on or exceed the speed threshold and then reduce
speed to under the threshold a second time in order for it to activate automatically again.
.Volkswagen recommends practice parking with Park Distance Control on a parking lot or other
place where there is little traffic to get used to how the system works.
