WARNING
Making quick turning movements of the steering wheel when parking or driving out of a parking space using Park Assist can cause serious
injuries.
When parking or driving out of a parking space, do not reach for the steering wheel until prompted to do so by the system.
NOTICE
The ultrasound 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.
Any equipment that has been retrofitted to the vehicle, e.g. bicycle carriers, can prevent Park Assist from functioning properly and may
cause damage.
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.
The ultrasound sensors in the bumper can be displaced or damaged by an impact which occurs for example when parking or driving out of
a parking space.
The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers must be kept clean and free of ice and snow and not be covered up by stickers or other items, as
these may prevent the system from working properly.
If an ultrasound sensor fails, Park Assist is switched off and cannot be reactivated until the fault has been rectified. Consult a qualified
workshop in the event of a system fault. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Sources of sound can lead to errors in Park Assist or the ParkPilot, e.g. rough asphalt, cobblestones, and interference from other
vehicles.
Volkswagen recommends that you practise using the Park Assist system on a quiet road or in a car park. In this way you can become
familiar with the system and the functions in a safer environment.
