The ParkPilot assists the driver when manoeuvring
and parking . If the vehicle is approaching an obsta­
cle located in the range of the ultrasound sensors ,
an intermittent acoustic warning is sounded , de­
pending on the distance . The shorter the distance ,
the shorter the intervals . The acoustic warning will
sound continuously if the obstacle is very close .
The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers transmit
and receive ultrasound waves. The system uses
the time difference between the ultrason ic waves
(i.e. between the transmission and reflection from
obstacles and the point of reception) to continu­
ously calculate the distance between the bumper
and the obstacle.

A WARNING
The ParkPilot cannot replace the full concen­
tration of the driver.
• Unintentional vehicle movements can
cause serious injury.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con­
ditions.
• Ultrasound sensors have blind spots in
Which obstacles and people cannot be detec­
ted '--.
A WARNING (Continued) ~-
• Always monitor the area around the vehi­
cle as the ultrasound sensors will not always
detect infants, animals and objects.
• Certain surfaces of objects and clothes
cannot reflect the signals from the ultrasound
sensors. The system is unable to detect
these objects or people wearing this type of
clothing, or they may be detected incorrectly.
• External sources of sound can affect the
signals of the ultrasound sensors. In certain
circumstances, the system may not recog­
nise people or objects.
A WARNING ~-.
Automatic activation of the ParkPilot only oc­
curs at very low speeds. An inappropriate
driving style can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
• Always bear in mind the time delay be­
tween the signals.
• The ultrasound sensors may not always be
able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars,
thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open or
opening tailgates. This can result in damage to
your vehicle.
• If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle
and issued a warning, the obstacle may move
out of the detection range of the sensors as the
vehicle approaches it, particularly if the object
is very high or very low. These objects are no
longer registered.
• The vehicle can sustain considerable dam­
age if the warning given by the ParkPilot is ig­
nored.
• The ultrasound sensors in the bumper can
be displaced or damaged through impacts, e.g.
when parking.
• 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.

• The ultrasound sensors should only be
sprayed briefly when cleaning with pressure
hoses and steam cleaners. A distance
of more
than
10 cm between the ultrasound sensors
and the steam/hose nozzle must
be observed.
• Sources of noise can lead to errors in the
ParkPilot system, e.g. rough asphalt, cobble­
stones, induction loops, building equipment,
or
interference from other vehicles.
• Any equipment that has been retrofitted to
the vehicle, e.g . bicycle carriers, can prevent
the ParkPilot from functioning properly.
Operating ParkPilot
If an ultrasound sensor fails, the corrrespond.
ing area of the ultrasound sensor cluster is
switched off and cannot be reactivated until th
fault has been rectified. Consult a qualified
workshop in the event
of a system fault. Volks.
wagen recommends using a Volkswagen deal.
ership for this purpose .
r::l Volkswagen recommends that drivers prac­
L!J tise using the ParkPilot in a traffic-calmed
area or car park to allow them to familiarise them­
selves with the system and its functions.

Switching ParkPilot on and off
The ParkPilot uses ultraound sensors to determine
the distance between the front and rear bumpers
and an obstacle. Up to 6 ultrasound sensors for
the ParkPilot (arrows) are located in both the front
(A) and rear (B) bumpers :::.Fig. 147.
The intermittent and permanent acoustic
warn~ng
signals for the front ParkPilot are of a higher pitch d
than those for the rear ParkPilot. This
is a standar
feature.
The warning signals can be adjusted
in the info­
tainment system menu :::.page 206.

..._A W ARN ING
D o not le t the extra convenience afforded by
the Park Assist system tempt you into taking
any risks when driving-this can cause acci­
dents. The system is not a substitute for the
full concentration of the driver.
• Un intentional vehicle movements can
cause serious injury.
A WARNING (Continuec;f) -
• Always adapt your speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con­
ditions.
• The surface of certain objects, including
clothing, as well as external noise sources do
not reflect the signals from the Park Assist
system or the parking distance warning sen­
sors or can cause the system to fail to detect
objects or persons.
• Sensors have blind spots in which obsta­
cles and people cannot be detected.
• Always monitor the area around the vehi­
cle as the sensors will not always detect in­
fants, animals and objects.
..
A WARNING .. p k
When driving into or out of a parking space
using the Park Assist system, the steering
wheel will automatically make quick turning
movements. You could be injured if you at­
tempt to touch the steering wheel spokes.
• The Park Assist system uses parked vehi­
cles, the kerb and other objects as guidance.
Please ensure that the wheels and tyres are not
damaged when parking the vehicle. If necessa­
ry, stop the parking procedure in good time to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
• The sensors may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin rails,
fences, posts, trees and open or opening tail ­
gates. This can result in damage to your vehi­
cle.
•
If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle
and issued a warning, the obstacle may move
out of the detection range of the sensors as the
vehicle approaches it, particularly if the object
is very high or very low. These objects are no
longer registered. The vehicle can sustain con­
siderable damage if the warning given by the
ParkPilot is ignored. The same applies to the
Park Assist system, for example when parking
behind a lorry o r a motorbike. Therefore, al­
ways check the space in front of and behind
the vehicle and stop the vehicle in good time if
necessary.
