Rear Assist

Introduction

In this section you’ll find information about:
Operation
Perpendicular parking (Mode 1)
Parallel parking (Mode 2)

Depending on vehicle equipment, the vehicle may be equipped with
the Rear Assist rearview camera.
There is a camera in the luggage compartment lid to assist the driver
while backing up or maneuvering. The camera image is shown to-
gether with the orientation lines projected by the system on the
screen of the factory-installed radio or navigation system.
Rear Assist may take a few seconds to bring up the camera image.
2 different orientation lines (modes) can be selected:

Mode 1: Backing into a parking space at right angles to the direc-

tion of traffic, such as in a parking lot.

Mode 2: Parallel parking (parking parallel to the direction of traffic).

You can select the mode by tapping the function key on the radio or
navigation system screen. Only the mode selected is displayed.

WARNING

Rear Assist is not able to give you a clear and undistorted view
of all areas behind the vehicle.

The camera has blind spots in which it cannot detect people

and objects.

Always be careful and look around you when parking. The

camera cannot show people, animals, and objects in certain
situations. Watch out for small children and animals in particu-
lar.

Due to the screen resolution or in low-light conditions, the

camera may not pick up thin posts, chain-link fences and simi-
lar fences, and other objects, or it may not show them clearly.

The camera lens enlarges and distorts the field of vision and

causes objects on the screen to appear altered and imprecise.

Always keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice;

do not cover the lens.

WARNING

Rear Assist technology cannot overcome the laws of physics
and the limits of the system. Careless or unintentional use of
Rear Assist may result in accidents and severe injuries.

Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic,

weather, and visibility conditions.

Always keep an eye on the parking direction and the vehicle

surroundings. The front of the vehicle swings out more than the
rear of the vehicle.

Never pay so much attention to the graphics shown on the

screen that you fail to notice what is going on around you.

Always watch for people, especially small children, animals,

and objects, because the camera may not always be able to de-
tect them.

The system may not be able to clearly show everything be-

hind the vehicle.

Use Rear Assist only when the luggage compartment lid is

completely closed.

NOTICE

The camera shows only two-dimensional images on the

screen. Due to the lack of depth of field, it may be difficult or im-
possible to identify protruding objects or recesses in the road,
for example.

Things like thin rods, fences, posts, and trees may not be de-

tected by the camera and could damage the vehicle.

Special considerations

1) Do not use Rear Assist in the following situations:

– When an incorrect or unclear image is displayed, such as when
there is poor visibility or the lens is dirty.

1) Do not use Rear Assist in the following situations:

– If the area behind the vehicle cannot be seen clearly or complete-
ly.

– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.

– When the luggage compartment lid is open.

– If the driver is not familiar with the system.

– If the position or angle of the camera has changed, such as after a
rear-end collision. Have the system checked by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

2) Examples of optical distortion by the camera:

The Rear Assist camera displays only two-dimensional images. Re-
cesses and protruding objects on the ground or protruding parts on
other vehicles are difficult or impossible to identify due to the lack of
depth of field.

Objects or another vehicle may seem closer or farther away on the
screen than they really are:

– When driving from a level surface onto an upward or downward
slope.

– When driving up or down a slope onto a level surface.

– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.

– When approaching protruding objects. These objects can disap-
pear from the field of view when backing up.

Cleaning the camera lens
Keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice:

Engage the parking brake.
Switch on the ignition.

Select the Reverse (R) gear.
Wet the camera lens with a commercially available alcohol-based

glass cleaner and clean with a dry cloth

⇒ .

Remove snow with a brush.
Remove ice with deicer spray

⇒ .

NOTICE

Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the camera lens.
Never remove snow or ice on the camera lens with warm or

hot water. This can damage the camera lens.

Volkswagen recommends practicing parking with Rear Assist in a

safe place with little or no traffic or in a parking lot under good visibil-
ity and weather conditions in order to familiarize yourself with the sys-
tem, the orientation lines and the way they work.

Rear Assist does not work when the luggage compartment lid is

open.

Park Distance Control (PDC)

Introduction

In this section you’ll find information about:
Park Distance Control (PDC)

Depending on vehicle equipment, the vehicle may be equipped with
the Park Distance Control system (PDC).
The Park Distance Control (PDC) system can help the driver when
backing up and parking. PDC uses ultrasonic sensors in the bumpers
to measure the distance between the vehicle and objects. The system
uses the time it takes for the ultrasonic waves to bounce back from
the object to calculate the distance between the vehicle and an ob-
ject. Park Distance Control works only at speeds up to about 6 –
9 mph (10 – 15 km/h).
If the vehicle gets too close to an obstacle behind it, a beeping signal
sounds. The closer the vehicle gets to the obstacle, the faster the
beep. When the obstacle is very close, the sound is continuous.
If you move even closer to the obstacle despite the continuous warn-
ing sound, the system cannot measure the distance remaining until
collision.
A Declaration of Compliance with the United States FCC and Industry
Canada regulations is found on

communications and Electronic Systems.

WARNING

Park Distance Control is no substitute for careful and attentive
driving. Never rely completely on these systems for information
about people and objects that might be in the way of the vehicle
and could be struck resulting in serious personal injuries.

The sensors have blind spots in which they cannot detect

people, animals, and objects.

Always be careful and look around you when parking. The

sensors cannot always detect people, animals, and objects.
Watch out for small children and animals in particular.

Certain types of clothing and the surfaces of certain objects

do not reflect the ultrasonic waves that the sensors send and
receive. Such objects and persons wearing such clothing will
not be detected by PDC or will not be detected accurately.

Noise in the area can interfere with the signals of the Park

Distance Control sensors. Under certain circumstances, the
system will not detect people and objects for this reason.

NOTICE

Things like trailer draw bars, thin rods, fences, trees, narrow

painted vertical poles, posts, or a luggage compartment lid that
is opening may not be detected by the Park Distance Control
sensors and could damage the vehicle.

If you continue driving closer to an object that the Park Dis-

tance Control has already detected and reported, the object may
disappear from the sensor range and may no longer be detected.
This is especially true for low or high objects. The system will no
longer sound warnings about these objects. Ignoring signals
from the Park Distance Control system could result in serious
damage to the vehicle.

The sensors in the bumpers can be damaged or become misa-

ligned in low speed impacts and parking maneuvers. Damaged
or misaligned sensors cannot accurately detect or report objects
that might be within range of the PDC system.

To help make sure that the system works properly, always

keep the sensors in the bumpers clean and free of snow and ice;
do not cover the sensors with stickers or other objects.

When cleaning the sensors with power washers or steam

cleaners, only spray the sensors directly for a very short time,
and always keep the washer nozzle at least 4 inches (10 cm)
from the sensors.

Noise from rough roads, cobblestones, other vehicles and the

surrounding area, for example, can prevent the Park Distance
Control system from accurately detecting and reporting people
and objects that may be within range of the sensors.

Aftermarket components such as bicycle racks can impair the

function of the Park Distance Control system.

Volkswagen recommends practicing with the Park Distance Con-

trol system in a location or parking space with no traffic in order to
become familiar with the system and how it works.

comes on and stays on

as long as the feature is active.
A chime sounds to tell you that the system is on. If the chime does
not sound, PDC is not working. Have the system inspected by an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility.

Special considerations when using Park Distance Control

In some cases, the Park Distance Control interprets water and ice

on the sensors as an obstacle.

If the distance remains the same, the warning tone volume de-

creases after a few seconds. If a continuous tone sounds, its volume
remains the same.

If the vehicle moves away from the obstacle, the beeping sound

stops automatically. The beep turns on again automatically if the ve-
hicle approaches the obstacle again.

For vehicles with automatic transmissions, there is no beeping

when the transmission is in Park (P) and the electronic parking brake
is engaged.

The volume of the audible signals can be adjusted by an author-

ized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facili-
ty.

Muting the Park Distance Control volume
You can mute the PDC beeping signals by tapping the

function

key on the Radio or Navigation system screen (if applicable). Tap the
function key again to reactivate the acoustic signals.
Switching Park Distance Control back on after it was switched off re-
activates the volume. System malfunction warning signals cannot be
switched off.
If you manually deactivate the display, PDC remains on and the
sound is reactivated.

WARNING

Never rely completely on the PDC for information about people
and objects that might be in the way of the vehicle and could be
struck by the vehicle causing serious personal injury.

The PDC sensors have blind spots where they cannot detect

people or objects.

Always watch for people, especially small children and ani-

mals, because the sensors may not always be able to detect
them.

If you hear a long beep lasting about 3 seconds when you first

turn PDC on or the indicator light in the button starts blinking, this
means there is a malfunction in the Park Distance Control system.
Switch off the Park Distance Control system with the button and have
it immediately checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
