..._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.

• The speed limiter does not relieve the
driver of their responsibility for the speed of
the vehicle. Do not drive at full throttle if it is
not required.
• Use of the speed limiter in adverse weath·

rious injury, e.g. through aquaplaning, snow,
ice, or leaves. Only use the speed limiter
when the road and weather conditions allow
it to be used safely.

The area monitoring system (Front Assist) helps to
avoid rear-end collisions.
lt uses a radar sensor to monitor traffic situations
up to a distance of approximately 120 metres in
front of the vehicle within a speed range of approx­
i
mately 5 km/h (3 mph) to 210 km/h (130 mph) .
The area monitoring system (Front Assist) can
warn the driver about imminent collisions, pre­
pare the vehicle for emergency braking in case
of danger, assist with braking, and initiate auto­
matic braking.

Distance warning
If the system detects danger from driving too close
to.the vehicle in front , the system can warn the
~nver by showing a corresponding message in the
~nstrument cluster display ~page 236. The warn­
Ing Period varies according to the traffic situation
a
nd the driver's response . Front Assist is not a
sub t · · s ltue for the full concentration of the dnver .
Advance warning
h lfth e system detects a potential collision with a ve­ICI · e .e .1n front, the system can warn the driver by 1111tt1ng an acoustic warning and showing a corre-spond· · PI lng message in the instrument clus~er diS-
ay ~Page 236 . The warning period vanes ac- carding
to the
traffic situation and the driver's re­
sponse . Front Assist is not a substitue for the
full
concentration of the driver .
At the
same time it prepares the vehicle for possi­
ble emergency braking ~ ~.
Urgent warning
If the driver fails to respond to the advance warn­
ing, the system can initiate a quick jolt of the brake
in order to draw the driver's attention to the
in­
creasing danger of a collision.
Automatic braking
If the driver also fails to react to the urgent warn­
ing, the system can slow the vehicle down auto­
matically by gradually increasing the braking force.
The system can help to reduce the consequences
of an accident by reducing the speed at which a
potential collision might take place .
Brake assistance
If Front Assist detects that the driver is not braking
sufficiently when there is a risk
of collision , the sys­
tem can increase the braking force and thereby
help to prevent a collision . Brake assistance works
only
for as long as the brake pedal is pressed
hard.
The intelligent technology used in Front As­
sist cannot overcome the laws of physics.
The driver is always responsible for braking
in time. If Front Assist issues a warning, im­
mediately apply the foot brake to slow the ve­
hicle down or avoid the obstacle, depending
on the traffic situation.
• Adapt your speed and distance from the
vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
• Front Assist cannot prevent accidents and
serious injuries on its own.
• Front Assist can issue unnecessary warn­
ings and carry out unwanted braking inter­
ventions in certain complex driving situa­
tions, e.g . at traffic islands.

A WARNING
The intelligent technology of the city emer­

of physics. The driver is always responsible
for braking in time.

Prevent accidents and serious injuries by it­self '---" ----------------------------~
A WARNING (Continued)
• The city emergency brake function can
carry out unwanted brake interventions in
certain complex driving situations, e.g. at
traffic islands, building sites and metal
tracks.
• Front Assist can issue unnecessary warn­
ings and carry out unwanted braking inter­
ventions when its function is impaired, e .g . if
the position of the radar sensor has been
changed.
• While the vehicle is in motion, Front As­
sist does not react to persons, animals and
vehicles crossing or approaching in the same
lane.
m The brake pedal travel decreases when the
~ city emergency brake function is triggered .
This
may make the brake pedal feel stiffer.
m Automatic brake intervention by the city
~ emergency brake fun ction can be stopped by
using the clutch , the accelerator or steering inter­
vent ion.
m The city emergency brake function can brake
~ the vehicle to a standstill. The vehicle will not
be held permanently by the braking system. De­
press the brake.
m Switch off Front Assist and the city emergen­
~ cy brake functio n in the event of multiple un­
wanted interventions . Proceed to a qualified work­
shop . Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswa-
gen dealership for this purpose . Driver assist systems 239
