Trailer Assist

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ Operating the trailer manoeuvring system (Trailer Assist)
Trailer Assist helps the driver when
reversing or manoeuvring the vehicle when
towing a trailer.
WARNING
The intelligent Trailer Assist technology cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Do not let the
extra convenience afforded by Trailer Assist tempt you into taking any risks when driving, as this can cause accidents. Trailer Assist cannot
replace the full concentration of the driver.
Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Keep looking in the direction in which you are parking and at the relevant area surrounding the vehicle. The front of the vehicle swings out
more than the rear of the vehicle.
Do not allow the displayed images to distract you from the traffic around you.
Always pay close attention to what is happening around the vehicle and the trailer. The camera cannot monitor the areas behind and to the
side of the trailer, or may not be able to monitor them in full. The camera will also not always detect small children, animals and other
objects.
The camera in the hinged Volkswagen badge may not be able to display all areas clearly.
Keep the camera lens clean, free of snow and ice and do not cover it.
Trailer Assist should only be used when the boot lid is fully closed.
WARNING
Fast rotational steering wheel movements can cause serious injury.
When manoeuvring, 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.
NOTICE
Trailer Assist does not use the area around the vehicle for orientation and does not detect any obstacles. Drivers must judge for themselves
whether the trailer can be manoeuvred safely.
Always pay close attention to the movements of the trailer and, if required, stop the manoeuvre to avoid causing any damage. On rare
occasions the trailer may behave differently, even when Trailer Assist is operated correctly.
Do not rely on the displays in the instrument cluster.
