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.
