2017 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN steering wheel

•Perpendicular parking (mode 1): reverse parking perpendicular to the road.
•Parallel parking (mode 2): reverse parking parallel to the road.
•Trailer support (mode 3): support when hitching a trailer to the vehicle.
•Crossing traffic (mode 4): observing crossing traffic.
System limits
The rear view camera system shows only two-dimensional images on the screen. The lack of depth
of field means that potholes and protruding objects on the ground may only be detected with
difficulty, or may not be detected at all.
The rear view camera system may not always be able to detect objects such as thin rails, fences,
posts, trees etc. This could result in damage to your vehicle.
The system displays the orientation lines irrespective of the area surrounding the vehicle. There is
no automatic obstacle detection. Drivers must judge for themselves whether the vehicle will fit into
the parking space.

Park Assist
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Prerequisites
⇒ Looking for a parking space
⇒ Driving into a parking space
⇒ Driving out of a parking space
⇒ Troubleshooting
Park Assist shows parking spaces
which are suitable for parking and
assists the driver when driving into and
out of parking spaces.
Park Assist is an extension of Park Distance Control ⇒ Park Distance Control.
Park Assist automatically steers the vehicle. The driver must control the accelerator, gear changes
and brake!
Driving into a parking space using Park Assist takes place in the following steps:
•Look for a parking space.
•Drive into a parking space.
System limits
The sensors may not always be able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin rails, fences,
posts, trees and open or opening boot lids. This can result in damage to your vehicle.
In some cases, dirt and ice on the sensors could be registered as an obstacle.
Prerequisites
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The following prerequisites must be met for driving into and out of parking spaces:
•The traction control system (TCS) must be switched on ⇒ Brake support systems.
•Distance: maintain a distance of 0.5 – -2.0 metres when driving past the parking space.
•The parking space must have at least the dimensions required by Park Assist.
•Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces parallel to the road): not above
40 km/h (25 mph).
•Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces perpendicular to the road): not
above 20 km/h (12 mph).
•Maximum speed: 7 km/h (4 mph). An automatic braking intervention can take place when
driving into a parking space.
The parking manoeuvre can be continued after the automatic brake intervention.
Fast steering wheel movements can cause serious injury.
•During the manoeuvring operation, do not reach for the steering wheel until prompted
to do so by the system.
•Exception: if a dangerous situation occurs, intervene and take over the steering.
WARNING
Park Assist uses parked vehicles, the kerb and other objects as guidance. Please ensure
that the wheels and tyres are not damaged when parking the vehicle. If necessary, stop the
parking procedure in good time to prevent damage to the vehicle.
NOTICE

The automatic braking intervention takes place a maximum of once per parking manoeuvre. The
parking manoeuvre will be cancelled if a speed of approximately 7 km/h (4 mph) is exceeded again.
Automatic cancellation of driving in/out of a parking space
Park Assist cancels the manoeuvre for driving into or leaving a parking space if one of the following
situations occurs:
•The button is pressed.
•The driver intervenes using the steering wheel.
•The driver door is opened.
•The parking operation is not completed within around six minutes.
•There is a system fault.
•TCS is switched off or is taking corrective action.
Automatic braking intervention to minimise damage
In some countries, Park Assist can assist the driver with an automatic braking intervention in certain
situations ⇒.
Depending on the vehicle equipment and certain conditions, e.g. weather, load or inclination of the
vehicle, Park Assist can automatically brake the vehicle before an obstacle. Following this
intervention, the driver must depress the brake pedal. An automatic braking intervention is activated
to minimise damage and ends the parking manoeuvre.
Looking for a parking space
Fig. 157 Instrument cluster display: display of parking modes.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Park Assist has three parking modes ⇒ Fig. 157 (illustration).
Reverse parallel parking.Reverse perpendicular parking.Forward perpendicular parking.
•Drive slowly past a row of parked vehicles, paying attention to the traffic.
•Press the button. Park Assist automatically searches for a suitable parking space on
the front passenger side.
•Stop when Park Assist displays a recommended parking mode on the instrument cluster
display.
•Drive into the parking space when a corresponding prompt ⇒ Fig. 158⑤ is shown on the
instrument cluster display ⇒ Driving into a parking space.
If you want Park Assist to search for a parking space on the opposite side of the road, operate the
turn signal for the corresponding side.
Changing parking mode
If Park Assist has found other alternative parking modes, these will be displayed in a miniature
view. You can select these successively by pressing the button. Park Assist will switch
itself off after selection of all found parking modes. The originally recommended parking mode is
offered when the button is pressed again.
Forward perpendicular parking
If you wish to drive forwards into a perpendicular parking space, select the parking mode Forward
perpendicular parking ⇒ Fig. 157 by pressing the button (if found by Park Assist).
Do not let the Park Assist braking intervention function tempt you to take any risks while
driving – this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full
concentration of the driver.
•Park Assist has system-related limitations. In some situations, the automatic braking
intervention function is only able to intervene in a limited way or not at all.
•You should always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
•The automatic braking intervention is ended after approximately 1.5 seconds. Depress
the brake pedal of the vehicle yourself following the automatic braking intervention.
WARNING

Park Assist can be activated retroactively. If a suitable parking space was driven past before,
it is displayed.

Brake support systems
Information on brake support systems
The vehicle is fitted with brake support systems. The systems can support the driver in critical
driving or braking situations. Brake support systems cannot overcome the limits of physics and
cannot always keep the vehicle under control in every single critical driving or braking situation. The
driver is responsible for driving safety ⇒.
Driving with brake support systems
The brake support systems work when the engine is running. They do not need to be operated
separately.
The brake pedal may pulsate or noises may occur while the brake support systems are regulating.
Continue to apply the necessary amount of brake pressure. Apply the necessary pressure to the
brake pedal consistently. If necessary, steer the vehicle while the brake pedal is depressed.
Fast steering wheel movements can cause serious injury.
•During the manoeuvring operation, do not reach for the steering wheel until prompted
to do so by the system.
•Exception: if a dangerous situation occurs, intervene and take over the steering.
WARNING
Do not let the automatic braking intervention tempt you to take any risks while driving, as
this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the
driver.
•Trailer Assist has system-related limitations. In some situations, the automatic braking
intervention function is only able to intervene in a limited way or not at all.
•You should always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
•The automatic braking intervention is ended after approximately 1.5 seconds at vehicle
