Lane keeping system (Lane Assist) 
 Introduction 
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects: 
Driving with the lane keeping system
Troubleshooting
The lane keeping system (Lane Assist) helps the driver stay in lane. 
Using a camera in the windscreen, the lane departure warning system detects lane markings on the 
road. If your vehicle moves too close to a recognised lane marking, the system will warn the driver 
with a corrective steering intervention. The corrective steering intervention can be overridden by 
the driver at any time. 
Adaptive lane guidance (depending on vehicle equipment) 
The adaptive lane guidance system detects the preferred position in a lane and keeps the vehicle in 
this position. 
Adaptive lane guidance is switched on and off in the Driver assistance menu in the Infotainment 
system Vehicle settings menu 
System limits 
Use the lane keeping system only on motorways and good main roads. 
The system is not active under the following conditions: 
The lane keeping system has not detected any lane markings. 
 
WARNING 
The intelligent technology used in the lane keeping system cannot overcome the laws of physics, and 
functions only within the limits of the system. Always take care when using the lane departure 
warning system otherwise you could cause accidents or injuries. The system is not a substitute for 
the full concentration of the driver. 
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic 
conditions. 
Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time. The driver is 
always responsible for staying in lane. 
The lane keeping system cannot recognise all lane markings. Poor road surfaces, road structures or 
objects could be recognised incorrectly as lane markings by the lane keeping system. The lane 
keeping system should be switched off immediately in these situations. 
Follow the information on the instrument cluster display and respond according to the commands.  

 
If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the lane keeping system 
may be impaired. 
 
Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and can therefore 
change automatically when the user account is changed Personalisation

Rear view camera system (Rear View) 
Park Assist Park Assist 
The available systems vary according to the vehicle equipment level. 
Limits of the parking systems 
The sensors or cameras may not always be able to detect objects such as thin rails, fences, posts, 
trees, very low or high obstacles and open or opening boot lids. 
In some cases, dirt and ice on the sensors or cameras could be registered as an obstacle. 
Limits of the rear view camera system 
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 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. 
 
WARNING 
The intelligent technology used in the parking systems cannot overcome the laws of physics, and 
functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by the 
parking systems tempt you into taking any risks when driving. The parking systems cannot replace 
the full concentration of the driver. 
Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions. 
Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury. 
Keep looking in the direction in which you are parking and at the relevant area surrounding the 
vehicle. 
Do not allow the displays in the instrument cluster and the images shown in the Infotainment 
system to distract you from the traffic. 
Always monitor the area around the vehicle as the parking systems will not always detect infants, 
animals and objects. 
The parking systems have blind spots in which obstacles and people are not registered. 
External sources of sound and certain surfaces on objects and clothing may influence the signals of 
the sensors. In certain circumstances, the systems will be unable to detect or properly detect people 
and objects. 
Certain objects, for example narrow posts or railings, may be difficult or impossible to see on the 
screen because of its resolution or poor light conditions.  

respond quickly enough to issue a warning. 
 
Volkswagen recommends that drivers practise using the parking systems in a traffic-calmed area or 
car park to allow them to familiarise themselves with the systems and their functions. 
Park Distance Control 
 Introduction 
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects: 
Switching on and off
Display representation
Troubleshooting
The Park Distance Control system assists the driver when manoeuvring and parking. 
Park Distance Control detects the distance from an obstacle by means of sensors in the front and 
rear areas of the vehicle. If there is an obstacle in the detection range of the sensors, the system 
indicates this on the Infotainment system and by means of signal tones. 
Settings 
With some equipment levels, settings for Park Distance Control can be made in the Infotainment 
system Infotainment system controls and displays 
You can save some settings in the user accounts of the personalisation function. The settings change 
automatically when the user account is changed Personalisation 
Switching on and off

equipment).

 is switched on automatically when reverse gear is engaged or if the vehicle 
rolls backwards. 
With some equipment levels, Park Distance Control can also be activated automatically when driving 
forwards Automatic activation when driving forwards (with some equipment levels) 
Switching off Park Distance Control 
Press the  button. 
Park Distance Control is switched off automatically when the vehicle is driven forwards at a speed of 
more than 10 km/h (6 mph. 
OR: the selector lever is moved to P position. 
Automatic activation when driving forwards (with some equipment levels) 
Park Distance Control also switches itself on automatically if the vehicle approaches an obstacle in 
the front area of the vehicle when driving forwards at a speed of less than 15 km/h (9 mph). 
Automatic activation can be switched on in the Infotainment system. 
Automatic activation takes place only once. Renewed automatic activation is possible under the 
following conditions: 
Press the  button. 
Switch the ignition off and then back on again. 
Manoeuvre braking 
If the vehicle is equipped with manoeuvre braking, the manoeuvre braking function triggers 
emergency braking as soon as an obstacle is detected while reversing. 
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the manoeuvre braking function can also trigger emergency 
braking when driving forwards. 
The manoeuvre braking function helps to prevent collisions. The vehicle speed must not be higher 
than 10 km/h (6 mph). The manoeuvre braking function is activated or deactivated when Park 
Distance Control is switched on or off. The manoeuvre braking function is inactive for five metres 
after a braking operation in the same direction of travel. The manoeuvre braking function is ready 
for braking again after changing gear or position. The same restrictions apply as to Park Distance 
Control. 
Manoeuvre braking is not active if Park Distance Control was activated automatically. 
Touch the function button in the Infotainment system to switch manoeuvre braking on and off.
