NOTICE
The camera must be kept clean and free of ice and snow, and must not be covered up by stickers or other objects, as this will prevent the
system from working properly. The drawbar must not be covered.
Never use an abrasive cleaning product to clean the lens.
Never use warm or hot water to remove snow and ice from the lens of the camera. This could damage the lens.
NOTICE
Any equipment that has been retrofitted to the vehicle or trailer can prevent Trailer Assist from working properly and can cause damage.
Equipment that has been fitted to the vehicle can be detected as a trailer, e.g. bicycle carriers.
Trailers which have unusual structures or additional add-on parts in the area of the drawbar cannot always be detected correctly.
Volkswagen recommends that you practise using the trailer manoeuvring system in an area with less traffic or in a car park. This will allow
you to familiarise yourself with the system and its functions in a safer environment.
Consult a qualified workshop in the event of a system fault. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
It is not possible to open the boot lid if the Volkswagen badge is folded out.
