(40 cm) behind the vehicle on the road).
(1) Road.
(2) Selected parking space.
(3) Side lines of the selected parking space.
(4) Rear boundary of the parking space, such as a curb.

All references to orientation line length apply to vehicles on a horizontal surface.
Parking using the Rear View Camera system

Step Action:
1. The requirements for parking and maneuvering with the Rear
View Camera system must be fulfilled
2. Position the vehicle in front of the parking space (2) ⇒ fig. 144 A.

move? ⇒ 
5. Align the vehicle in the parking space B so that the green orienta-
tion lines are parallel with the parking space (3).
6. Stop the vehicle C before (or at the very latest, when) the horizon-
tal red line reaches the rear boundary, for example, a curb (4).

The intermittent and permanent signal chimes given by the front PDC sensors are of a higher pitch than those given by the rear PDC sensors. This is a standard feature.
The warning signals can be adjusted in the Infotainment system menu ⇒  Infotainment system.

The indicator light in the  button ⇒ fig. 146 lights up and stays on as long as the feature is active.
Automatic activation
When the PDC is activated automatically, a mini PDC display appears on the left-hand side of the
screen ⇒ fig. 148.
Automatic activation of the PDC when driving slowly towards an obstacle located in front of the vehicle only works when the speed falls below about 6–9 mph (10–15 km/h) for the first time. If the PDC was switched off using the  button, performing one of the following actions with the ignition switched on can automatically reactivate the PDC:
x If the vehicle accelerates to a speed greater than 6–9 mph (10–15 km/h) and then drops below that speed again.
x OR: If the selector lever is moved to Park (P) and then out of that position again.
x OR: If automatic activation is turned off and on again in the Infotainment system.
Automatic activation of the mini PDC display can be turned on or off in the Infotainment system ⇒  Infotainment system.
When the box in the automatic activation function key is checked =, signal chimes sound from a distance of about 20 inches (50 cm) from the obstacle.
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.
x The PDC sensors have blind spots where they cannot detect people or objects.
x Always watch for people, especially small children and animals, because the sensors may not always be able to detect them.
If you hear a long beep of 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.

Setup

WARNING
The electric motor compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially dangerous area and can cause serious personal injury.
x Always use extreme caution when doing any work in the electric motor compartment. Always follow commonly accepted safety practices and use common sense. Never risk per-sonal injury.
x Never perform any work in the electric motor compartment unless you know exactly how to carry out the job and have the correct technical information and the correct tools.
x If you are uncertain about what to do, have the work performed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer, an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or another qualified work-shop. Serious personal injury may result from improperly performed work.
x We strongly recommend that you always have HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights and H7 bulbs replaced by a qualified technician. Serious personal injury may re-sult from improperly performed work.
x Never open or close the electric motor hood if steam or coolant is escaping. Hot steam or coolant can cause serious burns. Always wait until you no longer see or hear steam or cool-ant escaping from the electric motor.
x Always let the electric motor cool down completely before carefully opening the hood.
x Hot parts of the electric motor and the exhaust system will burn skin on contact.
x When the electric motor has cooled down and you are ready to open the hood:
– Firmly apply the parking brake and shift the transmission into Park (P) (automatic) or Neutral (manual only).
– Take the vehicle key out of the ignition.
– On vehicles with Keyless Access, make sure that the remote control vehicle key is out of range of the vehicle and that the vehicle cannot be started by depressing the starter
button ⇒  Unlocking or locking the vehicle with Keyless Access.
– Always keep children and others away from the electric motor compartment and never leave them unsupervised.
x The electric motor coolant system is under pressure when the electric motor is hot. Never unscrew the coolant expansion tank cap when the electric motor is hot. Hot coolant can spray out and cause severe burns and other serious injuries.
– Turn the cap slowly and very carefully in a counterclockwise direction while applying light downward pressure on the top of the cap.
– Always protect your face, hands, and arms from hot escaping coolant or steam by covering the cap with a large, thick rag.
x Never spill fluids on the electric motor or exhaust system when refilling. Spilling fluids onto hot parts of the electric motor or exhaust system can cause a fire.

WARNING
High voltage systems in the electric motor compartment can cause electrical shocks or even electrocution, severe burns, other serious injuries, and even death!
x Never short-circuit the electrical system. Be especially careful when using jumper cables. The vehicle's battery could explode!
x To reduce the risk of electrical shock and personal injury while the electric motor is acti-vated:
– Never touch ignition cables. Never touch other components of the high voltage elec-tronic ignition system.
– Never touch the wiring of the HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights.
x Read and heed the important information and warnings on cleaning the electric motor
compartment ⇒  Cleaning the electric motor compartment.
WARNING
Moving parts in the electric motor compartment can cause serious personal injury on con-tact.
x Never reach into the area around or touch the radiator fan. Contact with the blades can cause serious personal injury. Always remember that the radiator fan is temperature-controlled and can come on suddenly even when the electric motor has been switched off for a while and the key has been removed from the ignition.
x If you have to perform a check or repair when the electric motor is activated, there are more risks from the rotating parts, such as the drive belts, alternator, radiator fan, etc., and from the high-voltage ignition system. Always use extreme care.
– Always make sure that jewelry, loose clothing and long hair do not get caught in rotat-ing electric motor parts. Before starting any work remove your jewelry, take off your neck-tie, tie back and cover your hair, and do not wear clothing that can hang down and get caught in moving electric motor parts.
– Always use extreme caution if the accelerator pedal has to be depressed to perform a check. The vehicle will start to move even if the parking brake is on.
x Never leave any objects in the electric motor compartment, for example cleaning rags and tools. Objects left behind can cause malfunctions, electric motor damage, and even fires.
WARNING
Additional materials in the electric motor compartment such as blankets can interfere with the operation of the electric motor and can cause fires, which can lead to serious injuries.
x Never cover the electric motor with blankets or other materials.
WARNING
Operating fluids and some materials in the electric motor compartment can catch fire easily, causing burns and other serious personal injuries!
x Never smoke near the electric motor compartment.
x Never work next to open flames or sparks.
x Never pour or spill operating fluids or other flammable liquids on the electric motor. These fluids can ignite on hot electric motor parts and cause injuries.
x Always have a functional, approved fire extinguisher nearby.
