Parking using the Rear View Camera system

Step Action:
1. The requirements for parking and maneuvering with the Rear View Camera system
must be fulfilled ⇒ page 255.
2. Position the vehicle in front of the parking space (2) ⇒ fig. 141 A.
3. Shift into Reverse (R).
4. Reverse slowly and steer the vehicle B so that the lateral yellow orientation lines lead into the parking space (2).
Pay attention to the message in the display: Always make sure it is safe to
back up! ⇒  on page 254
5. Align the vehicle in the parking space B so that the yellow orientation lines are parallel with the parking space (3).
6. Stop the vehicle C before (or at the very latest, when) the horizontal yellow line reaches the rear boundary, for example, a curb (4).

NOTICE
Smaller objects up to about 20 inches (50 cm) from the rear of the vehicle will not be detected by the camera and could result in vehicle damage.

The Blind Spot Monitor only works at speeds above about 9 mph (15 km/h). The green indicator light 9 in the instrument cluster display switches on automatically when the system is active. The system and indicator light switch off automatically when the vehicle speed drops below about 6 mph (10 km/h).
Physical and system limitations
In certain situations, the Blind Spot Monitor may not interpret the traffic situation correctly. These situations may include:
x When driving in tight curves.
x When the width of the lanes differs.
x When there is a rise in the road surface.
x When there are poor weather conditions.
x When certain types of equipment are on the side of the road, such as high or offset guard rails.
Rear Traffic Alert

WARNING
The Forward Collision Warning system technology cannot overcome the laws of physics and system-related limits. The driver is always responsible for braking in time. If the Forward Collision Warning system issues a warning, immediately apply the brake to slow the vehicle down or avoid the obstacle, depending on the traffic situation.
x Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility condi-tions.
x The Forward Collision Warning system cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.
x The Forward Collision Warning system can issue unnecessary warnings in certain com-plex driving situations, for example, at traffic islands.
x The Forward Collision Warning system can issue unnecessary warnings when its function is impaired, for example, if the radar sensor is dirty or if the position of the radar sensor has been changed.
x The Forward Collision Warning system does not react to people, animals, or vehicles crossing or approaching in the same lane.
x Always be prepared to take full control of the vehicle at all times.
Deactivate the Forward Collision Warning system if it does not work as described in this chapter, for example, if multiple unwanted warnings occur. Have the system checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
