Rear Assist

WARNING
Rear Assist is not able to give you a clear and undistorted view
of all areas behind the vehicle.
The camera has blind spots in which it cannot detect people
and objects.
Always be careful and look around you when parking. The
camera cannot show people, animals, and objects in certain
situations. Watch out for small children and animals in particu-
lar.
Due to the screen resolution or in low-light conditions, the
camera may not pick up thin posts, chain-link fences and simi-
lar fences, and other objects, or it may not show them clearly.
The camera lens enlarges and distorts the field of vision and
causes objects on the screen to appear altered and imprecise.
Always keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice;
do not cover the lens.
WARNING
Rear Assist technology cannot overcome the laws of physics
and the limits of the system. Careless or unintentional use of
Rear Assist may result in accidents and severe injuries.
Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic,
weather, and visibility conditions.
Always keep an eye on the parking direction and the vehicle
surroundings. The front of the vehicle swings out more than the
rear of the vehicle.
Never pay so much attention to the graphics shown on the
screen that you fail to notice what is going on around you.
Always watch for people, especially small children, animals,
and objects, because the camera may not always be able to de-
tect them.
The system may not be able to clearly show everything be-
hind the vehicle.
Use Rear Assist only when the luggage compartment lid is
completely closed.

NOTICE
The camera shows only two-dimensional images on the
screen. Due to the lack of depth of field, it may be difficult or im-
possible to identify protruding objects or recesses in the road,
for example.
Things like thin rods, fences, posts, and trees may not be de-
tected by the camera and could damage the vehicle.
Operation

camera.

(1) Display the menu () or hide the menu (

1) Do not use Rear Assist in the following situations:
– If the area behind the vehicle cannot be seen clearly or complete-
ly.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– When the luggage compartment lid is open.
– If the driver is not familiar with the system.
– If the position or angle of the camera has changed, such as after a
rear-end collision. Have the system checked by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.


2) Examples of optical distortion by the camera:
The Rear Assist camera displays only two-dimensional images. Re-
cesses and protruding objects on the ground or protruding parts on
other vehicles are difficult or impossible to identify due to the lack of
depth of field.
Objects or another vehicle may seem closer or farther away on the
screen than they really are:
– When driving from a level surface onto an upward or downward
slope.
– When driving up or down a slope onto a level surface.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– When approaching protruding objects. These objects can disap-
pear from the field of view when backing up.

Cleaning the camera lens
Keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice:
Engage the parking brake.
Switch on the ignition.

Select the Reverse (R) gear.
Wet the camera lens with a commercially available alcohol-based
glass cleaner and clean with a dry cloth ⇒ .
Remove snow with a brush.
Remove ice with deicer spray ⇒ .
NOTICE
Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the camera lens.
Never remove snow or ice on the camera lens with warm or
hot water. This can damage the camera lens.
Volkswagen recommends practicing parking with Rear Assist in a
safe place with little or no traffic or in a parking lot under good visibil-
ity and weather conditions in order to familiarize yourself with the sys-
tem, the orientation lines and the way they work.
Rear Assist does not work when the luggage compartment lid is
open.
Perpendicular parking (Mode 1)

Fig. 154 On the screen: Orientation lines for the parking area behind
the vehicle.

Orientation lines overview
Meaning of the orientation lines projected on the screen ⇒ fig. 154. All
distances of the orientation lines refer to a vehicle on a level surface.
(1) Red: Safety distance. Area up to about 16 inches (40 cm) behind
the vehicle on the road.
(2) Green: Vehicle extension (somewhat wider) toward the rear. The
green area ends about 6 feet (2 meters) behind the vehicle on
the road.
(3) Yellow: The extension of the vehicle to the rear showing the ve-
hicle path as determined by the position of the steering wheel.
The yellow area ends about 10 feet (3 meters) behind the vehicle
on the road.
Parking
Position the vehicle in front of a parking space and shift into Re-
verse.
Slowly back up and steer so that the yellow orientation lines lead
into the parking space (3).
Align the vehicle so that the green and yellow orientation lines are
parallel with the parking space.
Parallel parking (Mode 2)
