Set the interval lengths with the switch (vehicles without rain sensor) or adjust the sensi-
tivity of the rain sensor.
If the ignition is switched off while the wind­
screen wiper is switched on, the windscreen
wiper will continue to wipe on the same setting
when the ignition is switched on again. Frost,
snow and other obstructions on the wind­
screen can cause damage to the windscreen
wipers and wiper motor.
• Remove any snow and ice from the wipers
before setting off.
• Carefully detach wiper blades that have be­
come frozen onto the windscreen. Volkswagen
recommends using a de-icer spray for this.

Do not switch on the windscreen wipers when
the window is dry. Using the wiper blades when
the rear windscreen is dry could cause damage
to the rear windscreen .

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.

-If the rear of the ve hi cle is heavily loaded.
-If tl'e driv er is no t famili a r with the sy s tem .
-If the pos ition or angl e of the cam era has changed, e.g . following a rear-end collision. The system
sh ould be checked by a qualifi ed workshop.
2) Optica l deception by the camera :
The Rear Ass is t r eve rs ing camera only supplies two-dimen sional image s. Due to the lack of depth of field
on the sc ree n, potho les and dips in the ground , protruding parts on another ve hicle or protruding objects
on the gro und may be difficult or impossible to see on the image .
Objects or other ve hicles m ay appear closer or further away on the screen than they actually are.

-If you drive from an upward or downward slope onto a level surface .
-If the rear of th e ve hi cle is hea vily loaded .

Cleaning the camera lens
Keep the cam era le ns clean and free of ice and
s n o w :
• Switch o n the ignition .
• Switch on the electronic parking brake.
• Selec t re ve rse gea r.
• Moisten the le ns with a commercially available
alcohol- b ase d glass clea ner and clean the le ns
with a dry clot h ~CD.
• Remove snow with a brush .
• Remove ice with a de -ice r spray ~CD.
• Never use an abrasive cleaning product to
clean the lens.
•
Never use warm or hot water to remove
snow and ice from the lens of the camera . The
lens could otherwise be damaged.
m lt is not possible to open the tailgate if the
W V olkswagen badge is folded out.
m Volkswagen reco mmends that you practise
W parking with the rear assist system in a traf­
fic-calmed area or car park with good vision and
we ather conditions .
In this way you can become
familiar with the system and the orientation lines in
a safer environment.
m The rear assist system cannot be switched
W on if the tailgate is open . <1
