The
area in fron
t
of and around
the
radar
sensor
must
not
be covered
by
objects such
as stickers or
auxiliary headlights
,
as this can impair
the
function
of
Front
Assist.
Any
structural
modifications to the
vehicle,
e .g
.
lowering the vehicle
or
making alterations
to
the
front end trim
,
can
impair
the
function of
Front As-
sist.
Structural
mod1fictions
should
therefore
only
be
carried
out by
a
qual ified workshop. Volkswa-
gen
recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership
for
this
purpose.
Incorrectly
performed
repa irs to the fron
t
end
of
the
vehicle can alter
the
position
of the
radar
sensor
and
therefore
tmpair the function of Front Assist.
Repair work
should therefore
only
be carried out
y
a
qualified
workshop.
Volkswagen recommends
usmg
a
Volkswagen
dealership for this
purpose.
