When removing or fitting head restraints, make
sure that they do not hit the roof or other parts
of the vehicle. The roof and other vehicle parts
could otherwise be damaged. Adjusting the steering wheel position

r-f"'n First read and observe the i~troductory
~ information and safety warnmgs ~on
page 66.
Adjust the steering wheel position before setting
off
and only when the vehicle is sta tionary.
• Push down the lever =>Fig . 50 G).
• Adjust the steering wheel so that you can hold
it on the outside
of the ring (at the 9 o'cl ock and 3
o'clock positions) with both hands and slightly bent
arms.
• Push the lever up firmly until it lines up with the
steering column
=> ~-
Incorrect use of the steering column position
adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the
steering wheel can cause serious or fatal in­
juries.
• After adjusting the steering column, al­
ways move lever CD up so that it engages se­
curely. This prevents the steering column
from moving spontaneously while the vehicle
is in motion.
• Never adjust the steering wheel when the
vehicle is in motion. If you determine that a
readjustment is necessary, stop the vehicle
safely and adjust the steering wheel to the
correct position.
• The steering wheel must always point to­
wards the chest and not towards the face.
This ensures that the driver front airbag pro­
vides maximum protection in the event of an
accident.
• While driving, always keep both hands on
the outside of the steering wheel, at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. This reduces
the risk of injury if the driver front airbag is
triggered.
• Never hold the steering wheel at the
12 o'clock position, or in any other manner,
e.g .
on the hub of the steering wheel. If the
driver front airbag is triggered, you could re­
ceive severe injuries to the arms, hands and
head. ~--------------------------____ _j Sitting correctly and safely 73

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.

A WARNING
Using cameras to estimate the distance from
obstacles (persons, vehicle etc. ) is inaccurate
and can cause accidents and severe injuries.
• The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of vision and makes objects on the
screen appear to be different and imprecise.
• Certain objects, for example narrow posts
or grids , may be difficult or impossible to see
on the screen because of its low resolution or
poor light conditions.
• The camera has blind spots within which
obstacles and people cannot be detected.
• Keep the camera lens clean, free of snow
and ice and do not cover it.
A WARNING
~------------~--------~~~------~ The technology of the Rear Assist system
cannot overcome the laws of physics or sys­
tem-related vehicle limitations. Careless or
unintentional use of the Rear Assist system
can cause accidents and severe injuries. The
system is not a substitute for the full concen­
tration of the driver.
• Adapt your speed and driving style to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
• Keep looking to check the direction in
which you are parking and the relevant area
around the vehicle. The front of the vehicle
swings out more than the rear of the vehicle.
•
Do not allow the images shown on the
screen to distract you from the traffic around
you.
• Always monitor the area around the vehi­
cle as the cameras will not always detect in­
fants, animals and objects.
• The system may not be able to d isplay all
areas clearly.
• The Rear Assist system should only be
used when the tailgate is fully closed.
• The camera only shows two-dimensional
images on the screen. The lack of depth of field
means that recesses and protruding objects on
the ground may only be detected with difficulty,
or may not be detected at all.
• The camera may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as thin rails, fences, posts,
trees etc. This can result in damage to your ve­
hicle.

-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.

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
