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.
– If the area behind the vehicle cannot be seen clearly or completely.
– 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. Recesses 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 disappear from the field of view when
backing up.

Cleaning the camera lens
Keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice:
x Engage the parking brake.
x Switch on the ignition.
x Select the reverse gear.
x Wet the camera lens with a commercially available alcohol-based glass cleaner and clean with a
dry cloth ⇒ .
x Remove snow with a brush.
x Remove ice with deicer spray ⇒ .
