Park Assist can drive out of parallel parking spaces if the prerequisites for this are met
⇒ Prerequisites .
Press the button.
Use the turn signal lever to select the direction (left or right) in which you would like to drive out of
the parking space.
Select reverse gear.
Release the steering wheel when the following message is shown: Steer. intervention active.
Monitor vehicle area.
Accelerate carefully.
Brake when an acoustic signal sounds, the display lights up or until the prompt to drive forward
appears on the instrument cluster display.
Depress the brake pedal until Park Assist has finished steering or until the display in the
instrument cluster display will go out.
Repeat reversing and driving forwards until a corresponding message is displayed on the instrument
cluster. A signal tone may also sound.
Take over steering with the steering angle set by Park Assist.
Drive the vehicle out of the parking space when permitted by the traffic situation.

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.
The parking manoeuvre is ended if an automatic braking intervention occurs.
Rear Traffic Alert

Function

Rear Traffic Alert monitors the traffic crossing behind the vehicle when reversing out of a parking
space or manoeuvring. Rear Traffic Alert functions using radar sensors in the rear bumper.
Key to ⇒ Fig. 134 :
Critical situation. Do not drive on!Possible critical situation.
Detection of a critical situation can also take place acoustically:
A warning signal will sound and a text message will be displayed in the instrument cluster for
vehicles without Park Distance Control.
In vehicles with Park Distance Control, an acoustic signal will sound with the continuous tone of Park
Distance Control. If the Park Distance Control is deactivated, no warning can be given to the driver
and the Rear Traffic Alert system will also be switched off temporarily.
If there is a system fault in the scanned area, the indicator lamp will light up yellow on the
instrument cluster display.
Automatic braking intervention to minimise damage
If Rear Traffic Alert detects an approaching road user and the driver has not pressed the brake, the
system can brake automatically.
Automatic braking intervention is activated when reversing at speeds of between 1–12 km/h (1–
7 mph). The vehicle is held stationary for up to two seconds after vehicle standstill has been
detected.
After automatic braking intervention is activated to prevent damage to the vehicle, the system
requires approximately ten seconds before it can activate another automatic braking intervention.
Automatic braking intervention can be interrupted by pressing the accelerator or brake pedal
sharply and taking control of the vehicle.
Automatic deactivation
Rear Traffic Alert is deactivated automatically and cannot be switched on if the factory-fitted towing
bracket is electrically connected to a trailer or similar ⇒ Notes on towing a trailer . Once a trailer is
electrically connected to the vehicle and the driver pulls away, a text message appears in the
instrument cluster display to inform the driver that Rear Traffic Alert has been deactivated. Rear
Traffic Alert will be automatically activated again when the trailer has been unhitched from the
vehicle. This applies if the functions were previously activated. Rear Traffic Alert must be switched
off manually for trailer towing if a non-factory-fitted towing bracket is used.

WARNING
The intelligent Rear Traffic Alert technology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only
within the limits of the system. Do not let the assistance function of Rear Traffic Alert tempt you to
take any safety risks while driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the
driver.

When accelerating on a slippery surface, for example on ice and snow, accelerate carefully. The
wheels can spin even when brake support systems are active, and this can lead to a loss of control of
the vehicle.

WARNING
The effectiveness of ESC can be reduced considerably if other components and systems which affect
driving dynamics are not serviced properly or are not functioning properly. This also applies, but not
exclusively, to the brakes, tyres and other named systems.
Please always bear in mind that modifications and changes to the vehicle can affect the way brake
support systems operate.
Alterations to the suspension or the use of non-approved wheel and tyre combinations can affect
the function of brake support systems and reduce their effectiveness.
Suitable tyres support the effectiveness of ESC.

WARNING
Driving without the brake servo can considerably increase the braking distance and thus cause
accidents and serious injuries.
Never switch the engine or ignition off while the vehicle is in motion.
If the brake servo does not function or the vehicle is being towed, the brake pedal will have to be
depressed more forcefully as the braking distance will be increased due to the lack of assistance for
the brake system.
Switching the TCS on and off
Switch off the traction control system (TCS) if the vehicle does not have sufficient traction:
When driving in deep snow or on loose surfaces.
When rocking the vehicle free if it is stuck.
Then switch on TCS again.
Switching TCS on and off
TCS can be switched off and on in the Infotainment system ⇒ Infotainment system controls and
displays .
When the TCS is switched off, the yellow indicator lamp lights up on the instrument cluster
display.
As soon as the TCS starts regulating, the indicator lamp flashes yellow.
Troubleshooting

Protect your login data for the Car-Net portal, your computer and mobile device against misuse.

WARNING
Applications and Volkswagen Car-Net services which are unsuitable or faulty or that are used
incorrectly can cause damage to the vehicle, accidents or serious injury.
Never make changes to applications or Volkswagen Car-Net services.

NOTICE
Volkswagen is not responsible for damage to the vehicle caused by poor quality or faulty third-party
applications, insufficient programming of applications, insufficient network strength, loss of data
during transmission or through misuse of your computers, tablets or mobile devices.
Legal requirements

Fig. 144 Symbol for vehicles that send tracking information
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
By concluding a Volkswagen Car-Net contract for your vehicle, you as the contracting party
undertake within the meaning of data protection law to inform each driver that the vehicle can
transmit and receive data online. This also applies if you sell or lend your vehicle.
Failure to observe this obligation to inform can infringe certain rights of vehicle occupants.
GPS tracking: check with all occupants
Some Volkswagen Car-Net services require vehicle data to determine whether the vehicle is
complying with set speed limits, where the vehicle is parked, or whether the vehicle is located within
a defined area. This information can be displayed in the Car-Net portal and in the Volkswagen Car-
Net app.
Therefore, before setting off, ask all occupants if they agree to use of the activated services. If an
occupant does not agree, deactivate the service (if possible) or exclude the occupant from use of the
vehicle. If you do not observe this, you may violate certain rights of the vehicle occupants.
GPS tracking: symbol
If a factory-fitted control unit is used to transmit the vehicle's current location and speed, this
symbol ⇒ Fig. 144  will always be located in the vehicle (e.g. on the roof console). However, the
